You are in the entryway.

looks around for good ways to start a fire and thus burn down the castle, all else fails , douse a gaurd in alcohol and dump him down the nearest privy, followed by a torch.

You have started a fire in the privy.

WHORES says, "Why are you wasting food? HAB will probably nuke this place until it grows very shortly."

"Sorry, I had a bit of bone in my beak, glows."

You exit the privy, and continue back to HAB lines.

Eventually, you find The Great Leader, along with his component commanders.

The great leader replies, "Good, now we can exterminate these foul Trekkies.

He speaks into a cell phone that he has summoned using the Sword of Logic.

A huge explosion destroys the fortress, and a large, mushroom shaped cloud is forming behind the Great Leader.

The HAB states that after they have completed the Objective Interim Light Repulsertank, they will move your priority from "Yeah, right, I'll get right on that." (Objective Interim Priority Class 5) to "Maybe, I'll think about it, when I get around to it." (OIPC 6). Currently there are 15,984,344,234,345,234,233 projects at the "Have it done yesterday, or you'll be in the work battalions by morning." (OIPC 542) catagory.

The Pitchfork of Paradox has not been found yet. That is one of the tasks at OIPC 542.

Ask for a nuclear-powered sidearm.

well all I know about the PoP is that it looks something like this:

and allegedly it's the anti-thesis of the Sword of Logic, and can "Pile it on Fast and Deep"

ok, that and it's capable of killing people's grandparents, or summoning monkeys with fanfic or possible slashfic ambitions....

Your request for a nuclear powered sidearm is put in at OIPC 1, and will be addressed as its priority code indicates.

No. Don't kill her. Instead, tie her down and place her close enough to the nuke blasts so that the only harm she'll get is infertility and possibly cancer. :)

Your attempts to kill Lady BOB are interrupted by WHORES pointing out that you will probably be used as a test target for the Objective Interim Light Repulsortank if you do.

You look up, and have the luck to see all of HAB's forces arrive, and proceed to introduce you to their various and sundry weapons.

Restoring from last checkpoint...

You begin your return to Reverton.

WHORES asks, "Brian, I believe I am strong enough to carry all of us aloft, should we try to move a bit faster?"
