Who is that? This is not funny, you freak. Maybe not for you, but I'm having an icy blast. Who are you? And how are you doing this? And why are you doing this? You shouldn't have come here. The walls are going to crush us! Uh-oh. Ice, ice, baby. Cyrus! I know, really. It's okay. What just happened? The walls, they stopped closing in. But we're still trapped. Hello? Is someone out there? Find the hole in the ice. Hole? There's a hole? Where? In the corner, dummy. In the corner. Downside. What corner? I don't see a hole in any corner. Stop brinterrupting. I'm working on it. Did they say brinterrupting? You think that's funny? I mean, I do like puns, but... Look! That wall! It's starting to melt! It like a beam of electricity or something Electricity What Nothing The hole still too small to climb through Make it bigger I think I'll be able to squeeze through! I'm sad, I'm working on it! Maybe don't insult them? Whatever, they tried to kill us! Wait, I think I can get through now! Are you sure? That still looks really tiny. Don't shoot the laser thingy anymore! I'm busting out of here! Cold. Cold, cold. It's ice. You don't have to be snarky about it. My wig! Forget the wig! Okay, I think I am almost out! Woohoo! Success. You made it. Amazing. Wait, where are you going? No way I can fit through. Don't worry, I'll come back for you. Probably. Probably? BRB! Hopefully. Hello? Are you still there? Can you get me out of here? How did I get down here? Easy, Ice Cube. Don't sit up too fast. Here, chug some energy drink. You look a little... depleted. 147 CD? What happened? I just found you this way. Flat on your back. Passed out cold. Very cold. You really don't remember anything? I remember catching some trespassers and trapping them. And then... nothing. Welp, what's done is done. Drink up. Okay, where am I going? There's that sound Cyrus and I heard when we saw that portal last night. I think it's coming from... in here? It looks like an observation booth to observe a lab Who are those two on the other side of the glass Let's see, how do I turn on the sound from inside the lab room? I need you to focus. Is that kid trying to... You're almost there. It is happening. You just need to better control it. Control yourself. Oh boy. What do you do? Like this. Yes, like that. Feel the space stretching. Imagine that bridge opening from here to the door. Somewhere else. Almost. Close. Is he? He is! He's the one opening the portal! Feeling better, Snowmizer? Yeah. Actually, I am. Everything's finally coming into focus. Awesome sauce. It was you, Casey. Hey, you actually called me Casey. You zapped me, didn't you? Zapped? And you melted my ice wall. Those interlopers, they're your friends, aren't they? Please, you've spent time with me. Do you really think I have friends?

Hey, I'm getting good at this. 147 CD, what are you doing? Saving my nosy friends! Come back! Don't you dare leave me here. Okay. Now what? Oh. Hey, Sci-Fi. Casey? Uh. Why so blue? Huh. Get it?
