A big pile of old dry sticks definately qualifies as a flammable substance! Might be worth bringing up to our new crab friend that should definately be talked to!

We ask him how he feels about ducks, or birds in general

quote:

Not a big fan. They took me here ages ago. I'm only barely holding on, living off this rotten crab food. Good thing I prefer it rotten.

We bring up the dried stick pile as a possible fuel source according to the plans on the floor.

quote:

oh that old thing there? That's been scrawled on the floor even before I got here, none of the other crabs could figure it out. You mean my punji trap? You didnt break it did you

We ask him what they do at nestco, why hes enslaved, and about his hopes and dreams.

the old crab begins to tell us a tale...

vanisher

Once, long ago, I was a young crab like yourself. I scurried about, investigated holes, tried to climb up metal trash cans. One day a seagull came by and landed next to me and we were friends, for a time. Slowly I grew to trust birds. Then a bird came that I had never seen before, it was a large dark winged beast. I lulled me with promises of endless food and comfort, all for the price of me pincing a couple sticks each day. It sounded too good to be true, as my dream had been to pince as many things as I could since I was just a baby. They flew me to a large open vent and dropped me in, and I landed down here. There were dozens of crabs here, all pincing away at sticks to make them varying lengths. The long sticks we would send down one conveyor, the short sticks the other, and the scraps went to the furnace. When I lost my claw in a pincing accident the duck guards called me worthless and told me to get to the CQ (crab quarters). I guess they just forgot about me down here when they moved everyone to the new facility. I'm not sure what the sticks are used for.

New (old?) crab friend must know where the funace is, and, if we could take the sticks there and burn it down and make that happen so be it!

I really would like to make peace with the birds and all, but, you know, birds...

I think I could probably find the way.

before we get too into trying to torch the place, I'd sorta like to see if we can locate and rescue any other crabs who might be pincing involuntarily

duckson can be our beard if we get caught, we can pretend to be salves under his wing, so to speak

Completely agree! Just a bunch of old dry sticks and a furnace seems like an easy 1+1=2 to free our crab bretheren. Definately finding and freeing is the goal, the other just might be an end to that means sometime!

I think a little nip of the ezood before the next leg of the adventure seems appropriate... just a taste, you know, for courage

jam some stick pieces into the bolt hole so the door won't lock closed

Before we can jam any brittle sticks in the door crabber looks like he's on the move to take us to the furnace

Luckily it's a serpentine belt, so the underside is traveling in the reverse direction.

Keep a close lookout for inconveniently placed rollers or other things that might harm us. Be prepared to exit the belt when we reach the end of the conveyor.
