03/09/26 – Mirrors and Steel

|

Lasper, Picknar, Thoos, and Knox sat at the bottom of the stairs near the laser wall, and Lasper said, "So, does anyone have any ideas?" Knox asked, "Do you have any mirrors?" Lasper said, "Mirrors? Oh right, Earth is a dark planet." Thoos then said, "Laser mirror deflection was figured out ages ago. the law of refracturication allows modified lasers to shatter mirrors." Knox asked, "Well-buffed steel?" Thoos said, "Melts 'em." Knox said, "Ah," and then said to Val, "Wait, didn't you tell me at some point that there are these space pirates, Bollycks, who are laser proof?" Picknar said, "Yeah." Knox said, "How is that possible?" Picknar said, "If anyone knows, they've taken the secret to their grave." Knox said, "Ah. it's that big a secret." Picknar said, "No, it's just that if you've met a Bollyck, then the next stop on your itinerary is the grave."

    I’m… struggling not to approach this from a technical standpoint, as this is obviously an impenetrable barrier or Thoos would have another idea besides the absent ruptometer. And the real focus is the arrival of the Bollycks shortly, who, one way or another, will resolve this conundrum with superhuman speed. Or dither, at human speed or less. I’m just sorry I didn’t get a bigger box of Lemonheads while I was up; the popcorn is not going to last at this rate, the way I’m eating.
