Twelve RIDICULOUSLY THICK DOORS. How ominous.
———————-Alt Text———————
-Guard Number Two took Thoos and Val down into Underrock Prison. First was a room bathed in red glowing light. Guard Number Two said, “The cells are this way. This is the laser-flooded room… set to kill. The keycard turns it off. The keycards work both ways unless the alarm is activated, in which case they only work one-way.” Next, the crossed a bridge, where Guard Number Two said, “This bridge can rotate to cut off access. Below is a stunnet to catch any fools who fall.” They then encountered a passage filled with a green gel, and Guard Number Two said, “This is the Klauzian Gelatinous Blob. There’s no oxygen in there, and it’s so cold that your limbs freeze solid. A horrible way to go.” They then encountered a number of thick metal doors, and Guard Number Two said, “Then a series of twelve ridiculously thick doors. If lockdown occurs, there’s absolutely no getting past them.” Thoos commented, “Wow. You really want to keep people in here, don’t you?” Guard Number Two replied sarcastically, “I know, right? Who would’ve ever guessed that might be our aim?”

“Hey, how did you get Loomp out?!”
“Turns out the easiest way to get a prisoner out of Underrock is a starship heir’s massive hidden bank accounts.”
*Twelve* doors? That’s much better security than on the Satellite of Love!
I bet they’re not even letting the prisoners make their own robot friends.
Val and Audri got to make *their* own robot friend.
12 doors? That is more than CONTROL has for Maxwell Smart to get thru to the office!
This is beginning to sound a lot like the old video game Space Ace. All we need now is the Infanto Ray…. 😛
They’re going to go through all this effort just to find someone else’s mind swapped jnto the professor’s body aren’t they. Be funny if it was Mr. Zorilla.
Thoos is thicker.
Exactly! Everyone knows there’s nothing so thick as a ridiculous person.
Plot twist, they immediately sniffed out the scheme and they’re just depositing our heroes in a cell.
Plot twist: Spacetrawler takes place in the imagination of Tommy Westphall. IYKYK. IYDK, look it up. It’s entertaining.
Well there is no way the prison doesn’t have some facial or gene scanner at the entrance, they know exactly who Thoos and Val are (according to the cops).
I’m disturbed that these defenses seem to be oriented to prevent a break-in to rescue prisoners, or a prisoner, as the case may be. How well-connected are the inmates that they can pose such an external threat even behind all these defenses?
“Passing the sixtieth floor of the Empire State Building! All still going as planned! We’ll reach the sidewalk on schedule!”
