Re: a piece of pizza in a box
 
Dazed and confused, Alpha Kodiak takes a break from staring at indecypherable BizTalk HIPAA Accelerator sample maps. At that moment his subconscious programmer's mind locks on to the scent of pizza. Without thinking he grabs the slice of pizza and fails to notice the trap spring on him. He begins to walk back to his desk, dragging the trap and all those in it back to his desk. Once he arrives at his desk, he dimly realizes that he can't see the monitor because of the box. Unsure what to do, he decides to take a nap....

Re: a piece of pizza in a box
 
*Wandering through Alpha Kodiak's office, Jack spots an odd device of high teck, and calls a friend on an unsecured cell-phone to tell about this strange thing.*

*A local "mechanic" overhears the conversation on his "special radio", triangulates on the location, and calls his, um, "crew"*

*The "crew" comes by with a bunch of power tools, reduces the box to its constituent parts, and carts them away for either parts (sensors that can distinguish individuals, the computer that runs them, good locks) or scrap (chain, bLast shielding, other metal parts), leaving nothing but the box's inhabitants and the pizza.*

*Jack blinks, ends the phone conversation, and walks away very quickly and very quietly.*

That's the problem with high-tech traps - they have valuable parts....

Re: a piece of pizza in a box
 
Having witnessed other people's attempts to attain the sacred Pizza, Katchoo devises a plan so cunning, so evil, so diabolical, that it permantantly warps the minds of all those who grasp it's existance.

Unfortunately, Katchoo gets distracted by the spinning motion of a ceiling fan above him and promptly forgets his scheme. Gazing upon the box once more, Katchoo promptly gets ensnared with the others.

Katchoo (addressing the others in the box): "So....anyone up for a game of Twister? I brought the baby oil."

Alpha Kodiak wakes up from his nap and, now refreshed, recognizes his situation. After pondering for a moment, he takes the obligatory diet coke from his desk and pours a few drops into the lock's key hole. He makes a chain of paper clips and sticks one end into the key hole. After carefully wrapping the lock in duct tape to protect the occupants of the trap, he attaches the other end of the paper clip chain to the 50000 volt anti-mechanic trap. He then sets off the trap, causing the diet coke in the lock to instantly vaporize, blowing the lock to pieces. Thanks to the duct tape, no one in the trap is injured. He then opens the box and steps out, looks at the BizTalk Mapper still open on his screen, climbs back in the box, closes it and goes back to sleep.
