'Growing Pains' by Patrick Rieger |
When the Chaos Crew’s Havoc attempts to break into the Global Seed Vault at the North Pole, Captain Rigby turns to Kayo for help. The automated facility’s caretaker, Ned Tedford (and his pet plant, Gladys) manages to seal himself inside the top-secret chamber containing Orchard Industries’ growth serum, but Havoc quickly begins to break through the triple locks. Encountering a booby-trap left by Havoc, Kayo calls on John and EOS for help; needing to be inside the facility to access its systems, John grabs a portable EOS drive and takes the space elevator from Thunderbird 5 to the Vault, but when EOS hacks the system it is infected by a virus left by Havoc, causing it to malfunction. Reaching the main seed chamber, Kayo, John and Rigby use robotic seed bots to climb the walls to reach Havoc; unfortunately, the mercenary sees them, and activates the chamber’s laser defence system. As the deadly beams close in on the trio, Havoc breaks into the chamber, tying up Ned before stealing the growth serum; in desperation Ned throws Gladys at Havoc, causing her to drop the serum cannister, which smashes open. Detecting a contamination breach, the Vault computer prepares to lock down the Vault and sterilise it with lethal gas…
