You can escape from the hole I made! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Taz materializes beside the pizza within the box.
Quickly grabbing the pizza, he again goes back in time.
Taz then walks out of box area and again hits the return to present button.

The Time machine malfunctions: Taz gets transported to the present inside the box, with no pizza and trapped with everyone else...until Fyron warps the box and lets everyone run willy nilly out of the box, that is. The pizza goes over a time-space anomaly at the exact point Taz gets an idea, thereby keeping the whole Time-travel fiasco from ever happening. Lastly, the time machine goes back to the moment it was born...but since it never was born, it ceases to exist entirely http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

(That's what I get for reading articles about time-space continuums and corporate scandals... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

if there going to escape, there going to have escape themselves. they can use holes created by other people, you just can't say they escaped, that would be to easy. marvin didn't do anything about the one-way, transporters so no pizza for him. and the traps are for people who try to disassemble the box. whole pizza to.

narf runs into the room and patches the hole with reinforced wall-in-a-tube. he then adds anti-metal shaping shielding, an attached bathroom and a water bottle. adds another pizza.

no fair posting while i'm posting. anyway, any action which could succeed, does. since the walls are bLast-proof, you can't bLast them. but, the reinforcement doesn't totaly stop main force, although you'd have to be stronger than taz. that's the type of rules i've been running this by.

Fyron casts a spell of disintegration upon the walls. As there is no bLasting involved, he succeeds, and the walls disintegrate. He watches as the prisoners stare dumbfounded-ly at the lack of box as he grabs the pizza and runs away.

Re: a piece of pizza in a box
 
Gwaihir walk in, sees the box, smells the pizza, because a well known physical law states that pizza can be smelled from anywhere within a two room radius, no matter how large the room or how well contained the pizza. This fact still puzzles researchers, some of whom feel that this is the key to understanding the Big Bang.

Thinking of the Big Bang gives Gwaihir an idea. He pulls out his handy Tnuctipun gun, sets it to "total conVersion" (yes, this appeared in an animated star trek episode, but i am using the original Known Space info, not the slightly altered Version Niven used for Star Trek, which said the gun was slaver tech - - - y'all should read known space books, they = tres cool) Anyhow, he then steps back as far as he can, ie outside the building and several blocks away, uses a normal setting to bLast a hole in the inteceding parts of the building to give a line of sight to the box, and then gives as short a burst as he can, converting a tiny bit of the side of the box directly from matter to energy, resulting in an enormous explosion. He then returns to the box, and finds that he overjudged the thickness slightly - the explosion vented far too much inside, and the pizza is spread across the wreckaged of the box, mixed with white hot metal. It now has nice meaty toppings, though! if only they weren't quite so overcooked . . .

As he is about to grab some of the least cooked toppings, two eyes pop open in the blackened mess, and it groans, prompting several other pairs of eyes to open. Realizing that he forgot an important principle of cartoon physiobiology, Gwaihir glances around, finds the sprinkler system, and whips a large mallet out of the air over the characters, which is glistening with cartoon potential energy. He smashes the sprinkler, and the blackened, squashed characters sigh with relief as they sizzle back to their normal shapes. While they recover, Gwaihir leaves, trying to come up with a better way to break the security next time.

edit:
Gwaihir also runs into Fyron outside, also leaving, and realizes that he has just been a victim of post simultaneity, in which two wholly different events occurred in the same place at the same time, but the separate legs of the troUsers of time ended up going into the same sock. He runs away before any strange effects take hold.

Fyron watches as the fabric of space-time around him begins to crumble. Having mastered the arts of chronomancy long ago, Fyron is not afraid of what may come next.

nobody post. gotta fix fast!

dodging bits of exploding space-time, narf stumbles accross his lab/kodaik's office, desperatly searching for it. WHAM! table! narf shoves off the table, barely avoiding, by accident, a blue bit. explosions shake the bulding, and peices of building and bits space-time continuim fly by him. peices of building intersect bits of space-time continium and are anialated! narf dodges, dips and weaves, but the scarf is only for emergencies. he comes to the door of his lab, and plungles on. an explosion rocks the building and narf slams against the wall. narf staggers up and clutches his ribs, but keeps on going except in front of him there's a pit. wipping out the scarf, he throws it around the light fixture and careenes accros the room. landing staggering, he puts out his hands to catch himself against the wall then moves right over to the door. at the end of the room, not affected yet by the bits and peices, which are mostly still in the other room is a lever. narf staggers into the room and drops and rolls to avoid a bit, then pulls the lever marked reset down 4 no 5 Posts, dodges a lightsaber bLast. everything is reset to the state of my Last post.

Dingocat powers up a lightsaber, and cuts through the walls
***WORN***

*Turns off Lightsaber*

Ahhh, a whole pizza. May use the newly installed bathroom, while I'm at it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Edit: Darn this disintegrating space-time continuum! By the time I finished with my lightsaber, Gwaihir & Fyron had already stolen the pizza twice...meaning there should be a negative 2 pizza deficiency http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Edit-Edit: Space-time continuum already been fixed...The stuff I did happened in between narf repairing the continuum, and having fixed it...which means my lightsaber antics have become nothing more than a possible alternate reality that never happened http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif
