The Relentless Adventures of Captain Speedo, Episode 16: Let them "heat" cake!
by Gilles Duchesne

As the hero, Captain Speedo, you are piloting a space barge filled with precious antiques to Provolone Prime. But suddenly, a powerful forcefield starts dragging the barge towards the nearest sun! This is a nefarious plan from some villian or your name is not Captain Speedo!

This solution is by David Welbourn.

Extras

Characters

The narrator of the show.
Marie Antoinette, a delusional woman who believes she's the reincarnation of the French queen.
Brandon van Every, also known as BvE, is a viewer who objects to the way the story is being told. This is a reference to someone who was on the rec.games.int-fiction newsgroup at the time.

Mentioned:

The mad Emperor Jato, whose schemes the Captain foiled in the previous episode. This character is likely named after Admiral Jota, an ifMud regular.
Louis XVI is mentioned in the desk's name and Marie refers him as her husband.
The real Marie Antoinette, whom the poem was addressed to.
The narrator threatens to call security after one of BvE's interruptions.

Endings

The kids scream. The show is cancelled. BvE rejoices.

if you go down from the Passageway and get killed by the guillotine,
or if you open a door at End of Passageway (death by lava).

See you next time, cadets! if you defeat Marie by reading the poem.

Also, as far as I can tell, if you don't have the poem when you get to Marie's lair, you're stuck. There's no way back and the barge never reaches the sun.

Inventory

the magic 8-ball. It's in the Cargo Bay. Shake it to get its advice at the end of the passageway.
the stuffed three-headed monkey. It's in the Cargo Bay. Throw it at the guillotine in the passageway.
a french love poem. It's inside the small Louis XVI desk in the Cargo Bay. Read it in Marie's lair.

This walkthrough is provided free of charge since I wrote this walkthrough prior to January 2015 when I began my Patreon account, and also because the work it's based on has less than fifteen locations (so I wouldn't have charged for it anyway). I've since reformatted this walkthrough to use my currently preferred style. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm still creating new walkthroughs! Larger ones too! Please visit my Patreon account if you're interested in helping me create more interactive fiction walkthroughs. I appreciate all the help I can get! Thanks again.
