a piece of pizza in a box

[Krsqk]

Krsqk comes in, always ready to get a piece of pizza. Confronted by a bewildering array of technobabble devices, and seeing two inmates and no pizza in the box, he decides calling Little Caesars is a better idea. Better make that a whole pizza, then. Or maybe two. With breadsticks.

There was a hole at the top of the box all along? You guys can all escape through the same hole that narf poit chez BOOM used to get out!

no, gwai-whatever his name is put it there with a stasis box. gwai, check your ship. i pulled a lever. in the engine room.

aah, but the door isn't a door. it's two transportors and two walls. kodaik and geoschmo are still in the box, which is in gwaihir's ship. narf is now also in the box, and staring at his master key, which would have worked if he had kept the doors. then he looks up and sneaks out the hole gwaihir made in the top of the box. wandering around the ship, he begins looking for the drive system while clutching a monkey wrench. finding the drive system, he throws a lever. he has no idea what the lever does.

it's mandatory for subjects to lock the researcher up in this type of whatever this is.

occupants:
geoschmo
dogscoff
kodiak
katchoo
taera

Ahh, but Alpha Kodiak and Geoschmo didn't say they used the door (Geo specifically says he used the hole; Kodiak didn't specify), and Kodiak's Aura disabled all tech, which would include the stasis field (otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to get out either, Narf). So, Kodiak and Geo should be out.

Yes, Kodiak and Geo are definitely out of the box.

That should be correct, as nothing has yet been done to fix the box since AK disabled the stasis field.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

ok, if the box is in the stasis box, alpha said the lock was disabled, but there is no lock on the non-stasis box, so i assumed he tried to use the doors i replaced. so he could have gotten out of the stasis box, but i'm not sure about the non-stasis box, and if he didn't get out then geo didn't get out, becuase geo said he snuck out after kodiak. so if the locked box was the locked stasis box, then they are out of the boxes but if it's the non-stasis box they are not.

oh, i'm quiting before we get a cat-in-a-hat. the're out.

*dogscoff has been in the box for several days now, with little to do other than eat pizza.

As a result he's getting rather large.

In fact, as cartoon physics dictate, he is growing at a rate faster than the actual volume of consumed pizza would ordinarily indicate. Eventually, it gets very cramped and hard to breathe in the box, but dogscoff continues to swell, until he grows so big that it can no longer contain him.

All the walls and force fields envelopping the box split apart, leaving a very fat dogscoff sitting on the floor with his relieved and slightly squashed fellow ex-detainees.

Dogscoff immediately sets up a trap of his own to catch narf: It's a clever box trap, baited with another, smaller boxtrap, this one identical to the one dogscoff just popped open. He baits the bait with fresh pizza, picks up his clipbard and waits...

[narf poit chez BOOM]

since gwaihir hasn't done anything with his ship, i will.

reacting to preprogrammed instructions, the ship lands on a strange planet...

ok, it's old and used and cliche, but if anybody else has any better ideas, i'll use them.

narf heads of to find the cooking pizza he smells, but seems to be lost.
trans: gotta go, don't have much time.
