My arms!

Florence can fix that. Let's get the covers over the holes and add a little paint.

I don't want to wear a wig!

Helix, you have to be convincing if you're going to be our inside man. Now say your line.

WOOF!

Perfect. Let's go.

Polly! You came home!

Oh, great. Well, good bye, Polly. We're off to carry out our insidious scheme.

We can't leave her outside.

But she's not spaceship broken! And we can't put down paper because you guys use data pads for everything. Sigh. Okay. I guess we can do something.

I'll explain “spaceship broken”. Sam is afraid Polly will shit all over the ship. This is a twist on the term “housebroken”, meaning that the animal is trained not to shit indoors. When a puppy is not “housebroken” and the owner needs to go out, the puppy is locked in a room with newspaper on the floor to make it easy to clean up. After a while, the puppy will learn to do his business in that room only, at which point he's called “paper trained”. When the puppy finally learns to wait to be let outside, he will be considered “house trained”.

These are the proper forms. Thank you. She's free to go.

It's about time.

Oh Snookums. Mommy missed you. Let's get you out of this awful place.

Sigh.

I shouldn't let this get me down. Many humans have done their best work while incarcerated.

I'm an engineer. This is a golden opportunity to work uninterrupted on ideas for a starship drive.

And I do have a little leeway. The Mayor gave me a direct order to stay here, she never said I couldn't build a fusion test reactor on the premises.

WOOF!

I am a stray dog. Please put me in the pound. Signed, a stray dog.

This way, little pup. No worries. Any dog honest enough to turn himself in is a dog I won't have any trouble getting adopted.

WOOF!

Once a charged pair forms, they can be accelerated electrostatically out of the area. Energy deficit could lead to more charged pair formation.

Florence, we have a new dog! He even came here voluntarily!

Okay, I have completely lost my train of thought.

Woof!

Funny how dogs will always concentrate on another dog instead of Dynamic Vacuum Theory.

Another customer? For a day the pound is supposed to be closed, it sure is busy.

Helix, what are you doing here disguised like that?

Sam and I are here to bust you out.

Oh, wonderful.

Isn't it? And free jail breaks are just one of the perks of being part of our crew.

Dog Pound break out

Qwerty, what are you doing here?

We heard Ms. Ambrose had been impounded. I came to see if I could help.

You can let her out!

I can't. The Mayor gave me a direct order to keep her here.

Okay. Were there any orders on what to do if I showed up?

Guys, my cell had locks on it! That's two more for my collection!

Dog Pound break out

The robot at the dog pound called as you ordered. Sam is there now.

What!? How did he find out about that so fast?

How long will the cell hold him?

He's already out. He'll be long gone by the time we get there.

No. Wait. He's found the kibble. The kind that makes its own gravy.

That gives us ten minutes. Okay people, let's move!

Dog Pound break out

Open up, Helix. Florence needs the tools you brought.

Sam, I'm not leaving here illegally.

That's why I brought you these. Plastic replicas of the original documents.

France's Declaration of the rights of man and citizen. The Magna Carta. The English and United States Bill of Rights.

I know she can get out of here physically. What she needs are the tools to break out mentally.
