    Basically, they’re all about getting really high.

    Now Tony, words like ‘sacred’ and ‘heresy’ have no place in science. Mad or sane.

      Explains why H.T. refers to it as a “religion”.

    So if they get that… um… thing… working, then they won’t need the “golden ones” to come and get them.

      Oh, they don’t need the Golden Ones because they can’t fly. They need them because they don’t know which way to go. Or rather, because their way is mysterious.

    (Tune: Celebration, Kool and the Gang)

    (Woo-hoo!)
    Elevation!
    (Woo-hoo!)
    This is our elevation!

    Elevate on high, come on!
    Let’s elevate!
    Elevate on high, come on!
    Let’s elevate!

    Sacred science goin’ on right here,
    For elevation towards a higher sphere,
    The Golden Ones will tell us where to go,
    We gonna elevate to meet their UFO.

    Come on now!
    (Elevation.)
    We gonna elevate to some distant star.
    (Elevation.)
    We gonna elevate to some distant star.

    It’s time for anti-gravity,
    Don’t question this possum’s sanity,
    We have plans to leave this world,
    Come on!

    (Woo-hoo!)
    It’s our elevation!
    (Woo-hoo!)

    Elevate on high, come on!
    It’s our elevation!
    Elevate on high, come on!
    Let’s elevate!

      Even better than normal 🙂 That’s going to be stuck in my head for hours…

    Oh gee, the beginnings of a mad science Lovecraftian star cult. Sometimes I hate being right.

    Their device, combined with Shadowmehr’s comment, made me think that it looks a little like the Tower of Madness game. If marbles start coming out of the bottom, RUN AWAY.

    Next stop: Lovetron.

      Condemnation to Jeff for putting it in the story to be drawn.

        It’s powered by hundreds of little tiny bicycles…

          Powered by trained squirrels.

            Or maybe the “Golden Ones” really are the mutant hamsters, and Tony needs them to power his UFO.

    If they want elevation, how ’bout some lifts in their shoes?

    Too bad the evil hamsters are all gone. Or are they . . ?

      They probably all got jobs at IBM. ^_^

    I’m guessing Tip’s corpse is the intended power source? (see also: Victorian narbonic stories).

    I’m waiting to see when Tigerlily is going to show up with Dr. Lee’s weather machine.

    Well, an actual spaceship is certainly a step up from plastic bags and phenobarbital.
