Snippet #2749191

The ship landed near Montes Taurus, a mountain on the moon. It was a wonder the spacecraft even survived the landing after the Colonel accidentally snapped off a piece of the landing gear upon firing retrograde thrusters to decelerate . Luckily, nothing else broke.

The Colonel stepped out of the spaceship and planted the stickistan flag inside a dome with a fan and turf for dramatic effect. He then takes out a sharpie and crosses out "Stickistan", writing "New Sketchpad" on it before he seals the dome and turns the fan inside on, which makes the flag flap. He also unloads 3 shipping containers and follows the instructions he wrote to turn them into a temporary shelter, complete with airlock and shag carpeting. "Awi, you can go live in the ship for now. It's bigger, and has a full-sized fridge."

After he set up a Thorium reactor, The Colonel set up the Stickgate. A stickgate, itself the size and bearing the likeness of a stargate of terran fiction, accesses a pocket dimension about 10 miles large in all directions. It is devoid of gravitic and electromagnetic interference, as well as any air to breath or scream in. It is very easy to access, but is impossible to detect unless you are aware of it's existence. A gate resides on Sketchpad, guarded by 1000s of THOT Patrol members, and has lied dormant for 10 years.

"Alright, Awi. We'll open the Stickgate when you're ready. Oh yeah, and wear this." He threw Awi an "Ambassador" sash to wear over her spacesuit.
