h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I thought the slide went to the submarine. I vote for that.

/* Zeppo runs around Ludwig trying to get him to play chase. */

[Protoman] Whatever.

[Roll] Can we just teleport?

Of course not, Roll. That'd be much, much too easy. That plus we're in one of the Security Level 4 areas of CLI, only the inaccesible back rooms have more security. The only teleportation that can be done down here that works for more than a few feet are the times when you use pre-set up teleportation gates, like the Catwalk-In-Space that we went through earlier. We'd get to the slide (that leads to the submarine) a lot sooner than any teleportation gates. Although you know, GL, we should probably start installing a few more teleportation gates down here in the future.

[Roll] .....

Yeah, I guess we should, Affy. I mean, that gear could REALLY break sometime.

I think the shortest way to the slide might be through the heating vents, but you never know with a maze, do you?

Well, we never really mapped that maze entirely, so it could conceivably lead anywhere.

*Looks right at the entrance to this room*

We could just walk out the door, but the thought of the maze is very intriguing....

*chasing Zeppo around and around*

Well, I was thinking that since the slide is back at the end of the mine tunnel (ooc - I trolled through alot of backlog to find it), and since there are ventilation ducts in the mine, that perhaps these ducts might connect to those ducts and form a short cut. Bit of a long shot, I suppose.

*Eyes the clay pigeon that Affy is still carrying.*

Anyone in a big hurry to get back?

*digs in her backpack and comes up with more mbougatses and a thermos of tea*

Nope.

*offers food round*

Mmmmmmm... mbougatses and ? Yes, please...

Ooooh, me too, please. I'm famished.

[Protoman] I don't eat, and neither does Roll.

[Roll] Oh don't be so rude! Here, I'll have some!

So, I guess it's the maze? Great!

*Notes that the lock on his Snowzar has come off by now*

[Protoman] [noticing also] Looks like you didn't get to use it.

Nope! I believe in the Rube Goldberg principle, after all.

[Protoman] .... Whatever.

You know. Complex solutions to simple problems, and all that.

[Protoman] I stand by my "whatever."

*Looks over at Protoman, expecting to see one of those neon signs in midair, flashing "whatever". Doesn't see one. Assumes Protoman must have meant something else when he said he was standing by his "whatever".*

Ah, Lil! Just what I needed.

*Gratefully accepts a Mbougatse and some <tea?*

Don't you mean , GL?
