JAILBREAK NUXTRE
Rex punts them; Pip, the last of the Basement Krew online, picks the lock. Eight of Rex's holding cells, a punted citizen behind each, the lock in section in the Basement's green and amber. Put the pick under a pin and lift; let go when the gap in it sits on the shear line and it sets. Only the pin that binds will set, one at a time, in an order nobody tells you — it's the heavy one: it rises slow and trembles. Lift anything too far and it oversets: every set pin drops and a pick snaps. Rex is always one minute late; when the clock runs out he's there, and a pick stays in the lock. Three picks. More pins and finer gaps every cell.
