It looked to be another not-so-normal day of traveling through space and time for our old friend, Jerri Rig Sewatt (or, as she was known then, Dr. Bel).
At one point, their helmet and other various gadgetry ended up bringing them to a cozy, gray-walled basement. The shelves were packed with unfamiliar knickknacks. The stairs in the corner led up to a door that wasn’t connected to a house on the outside, but at least the sidewalk was good for morning stretches. And back inside, the dryer was very comfy. ;D
After taking many a “day off” in this basement (mostly comprised of dryer naps), Dr. Sewatt got a little bored. Sure, she could come back to her mentor’s place for Time Jinx games, and she could go anywhere and when she wanted in between, but…
…Dr. Sewatt was getting lonely. She wanted friends who wouldn’t always be too busy with experiments to call and ask how she was doing (unless she was injured or something). Was that too much to ask?
After mulling it over, they decided to roll the dice on their devices’ coordinates and open a few random portals, just to see if anything or anyone cool would come out.
From one, a plant that moved like a squid and spoke like a caveman.
From another, some sort of spray-painted golf tee with @ symbols for eyes.
From another, just a floating brain in a jar.
And from the fourth, a DRAGON with a t-shirt on.
Confusion, a bit of chaos, and some minor yelling before everyone realized the portals were still open and they could totally go back home.
And then the fifth portal spit a bunch of space junk into the room.
So technically, the DecaPack’s first hangout was as a cleanup crew! And then, Dr. Sewatt gave them tech watches to come back whenever they wanted.
