I think I've completely lost track of the ins and outs of the Labophase defense system. Why is it currently active, again? It evidently doesn't matter in regards to the elders. And couldn't they have switched it off before Edison dove rigt into it? They must've switched it on and off quickly when they rode that bubble car down earlier? Theres probably a reason, but I honestly don't remember. At any rate, its impregnable-ness seems debatable - Bonney got launched straight through it and it doesn't seem to bother her at the moment, and she has no super durability/recovery as far as I know. In general, I don't think the overall mechanics/layout of egghead has been the most clear. Like, you can get to the labophase by tube-train (which I guess can't go through the forcefield?), but also by riding down the cloud that suspends the labophase...but said cloud comes out of a giant bottle that has never gotten a highlight panel as far as I remember, , so what do you do when you reach the end of the road with your bubble car...?
At any rate, I'm gonna be glad once all the crew is out of the labophase and heading off of the island.
