Bob is currently enjoying a HAPPY DREAM-LIKE STATE and can only respond to the commands COWER IN TERROR and TRY TO KEEP SPACE MADNESS AT BAY.

You settle back to sleep on your TINFOIL MATTRESS.

Good heavens... what's all that shaking?

How is a Thornberry supposed to get any sleep with all this commotion?

WHAT KIND OF FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE IS THIS, ANYWAY?

You are quite displeased with your FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE. Not only is it boring and shaky, but you can see a fancier one with a grapnel gun just a meter away.

You decide to ditch this tinfoil hellhole in favor of an uptown suite. One small step for a Drip, one giant leap etcetera...
[Image: 202copy.png]
Leap!

The gun goes off!

You land on a ROOFTOP. You can see an ANTENNA and a large DUCT adding some flavor to the scenery.

Yeah, it's a gif. I'm not sure how long it took to make, since it's sort of an evolution of this series of pictures:

Really, I cheated and used the smudge tool in Photoshop, smudging and duplicating layers until I had a series of layers that got progressively more warped. I duplicated them some more and inverted about half of them (another Photoshop cheat) to make it more flashy. Then I overlaid those with the layers of Bob cowering in fear (also about half-inverted). The trick with this one was that I duplicated the completed frames in reverse order so that it would loop back on itself without being too jarring.

Glad y'all like it!

...It might be more productive to enter commands for Nigel's Thornberry, who is not currently tripping on acid.

Meanwhile, in the throes of SPACE MADNESS, Bob has a lucid flashback to his days in Intrepid Explorer basic training.

He remembers he and the other students laughing at the goggles that supposedly simulated SPACE MADNESS. He now knows that the goggles were lying.
[Image: 206copy.png]
He's also sure that the Xtreme Xplorer's Guide to Deep Space Hijinx had a chapter on SPACE MADNESS and how to deal with it.

If only he weren't illiterate!

This rooftop is now an ANIMAL FREE ZONE, and you plan on keeping it that way!
[Image: 207copy.png]
You toss the big ol' HOOK THINGER off the roof, thus ensuring the exclusivity of your new domain.

A NATIVE was already climbing the rope and takes a tumble when you toss down the THINGER. He lands loudly, attracting the attention of some other NATIVE ANIMALs. You hear chemical explosions and shouting.

Before you do anything else, that ANTENNA calls to you! It calls to you figuratively! It figuratively calls for ITS OWN DESTRUCTION.
[Image: 208copy.png]
Being but a thornberry, you lack the ability to really mess it up, but you do manage to GLEEFULLY SWING on the ANTENNA, rotating it.

Why, what is that over there? Could it be? Yes! It's a...

SMALL PIECE OF RUBBLE!

SMALL PIECE OF RUBBLE has joined your party.

RedMage Wrote:NT: Go into the duct.
You peer into the unfathomable depths of the DUCT, Rubble at your side.
[Image: 210.gif]
Are you certain you're ready to descend into the DEEP UNKNOWN?
