SEND IN THE CLONES

Cart now secretly wished that Brett would burn all their little heads. But he did not say this of course, but reloaded the laser rifle. "I'll cover our back as we advance," and kept an eye out for the activity behind them.

He yells back at you, What are you waiting for Trouble POOPERS! come get me!

From behind the troubleshooters hear,

Beat it ya Techno-Turkeys!

Yeah Eat Laser Old-Timers! PEW PEW PEW!

Yeah PEW PEW! ha ha aha ha!

"Sounds like a trap. Be careful." Cart continued to watch the kids behind them as they advanced.

"Hey kids, did you see those ugly hunchbacked people that went in the direction you came from? It would be more fun to harrass those mutants than us, don't you think?" Brett says trying to distract them.

"Pew pew pew" I’ll join them in a fake shooting game "Aaaaaa I’m hit! Cart, you must activate the nuclear device before it is too late aaaaa"

"Who's the pretty lady who ran ahead of us? Your magnificent mama? Shouldn't you go after her instead?"

Yeah Okay! You go first!

Yeah! The Universe rewards action you dolts!

Yeah! pew pew pew.

I "resurrect" and just decide to ignore the kids "should we just move further?" I ask the others. Then, with know warning I shout "surprise attack", turn back and point my fingers at the young citizens behind me " pew pew pew, you’re dead!"

"Who else do you want to shoot at, besides us? Let's go shoot them instead! Show us and we'll go!"

"Ah, right! I suppose they just meant to play with us..." Brett says stepping in the forwards direction before using his free hand to pretend to shoot the obstacles in front. "Pew pew! Pew pew! Out of my way commie traitors! Pew pew!"

One of the kids yells out and collapses, AAAAAA! He got me!

He got Bobby! You'll pay for that. pewpewpewpew!

No fair! no one said you could be a zombie!

If you're looking for someone else to shoot at, you're going the right way!

As the intrepid Troubleshooters move forward, they quickly come to the end of the tunnel. They appear to be at the bottom of a deep well.
There is no sign of Zhon, or any of the junior citizens. A long vertical ladder leads up to a circle of light above.

"Anyone got a light?" I ask with my flashlight hanging on my belt

"I'll send our doggy up first. Lovely light!" Cart summoned GR8-SP0T, and nuzzled and patted it like it was his only friend in the world. In fact it probably was. He lifted him up, and proceeded to climb up the ladder towards the opening.

Brett looks around him, checking if anyone is following them while he waits for Cart to ascend. He also noticed the flashlight on Will's belt and "whispers" to him. "Psst, buddy! You might want to check your belt!"

"Ah! How did this end up here!" I grab the flashlight and try to turn it on to help Cart. "How does it look like up there? Any pew pews?"
