Ceiling-throw class frozen; mission to retrieve the ICM (Sub-plan B)
i_b05_07 Book 5What happened
During Ceiling-throw class with Mr. Stinson, Dash, Rob and Greta deployed three freeze-bombs to freeze the class for 45 minutes, giving them time to retrieve the Ice Cream Machine. Following Sub-plan B: Rob and Dash grabbed Madagascar pies from Cooking class to distract the zebra-hounds; Greta fetched Mr. Rosebank and went to the Secure Command Center as backup. Rob and Dash entered a hammaphore tree labyrinth and emerged at the tower, fed Madagascar pies to the zebra-hounds to distract them, threw Greta's G-hook to the window, shimmied across and climbed in. They discovered the Ice-Scallywags had escaped the freezer (using an MB44 to cut through the door) and were guarding the shrunken, frozen Ice Cream Machine encased in a block of ice. Before they could act, the Ice-Scallywags deployed Move #342 (Instant Ice-Block), trapping Dash and Rob in a block of ice. Li'l Jimmy Jimmy-Sinn and Devil-Cat appeared, and Li'l Jimmy announced his plan to un-shrink the ICM, make the best ice creams, buy Swedhump Elementary, fire Mr. Rosebank and his wife, and turn the school into a parking lot as his revenge. They left Dash and Rob trapped.
Resolution
Dash and Rob were left trapped in a block of ice in the tower. The Ceiling-throw class was later unfrozen by Greta using the high-frequency Defrost-Ping from the SCC.
