Dr. Gel's spaceship

undefined Dr. Gel's spaceship was the spacecraft used by Dr. Gel.

Description
Dr. Gel's spaceship was a large black spacecraft that sat flat on its bottom surface when idle but rotated 90° to manoeuvre vertically when in flight. The lower part of the ship was a long segmented 'tail' that faced downwards, covered by a four-pointed silver star-shaped surface. Numerous elongated spikes protruded from the ship and it was equipped with several thrusters for improved manoeuvrability.

Built into the centre of the ship was a life-size replica of the head of the Statue of Liberty that had a proportionate ball gag in its mouth. It was designed to give the appearance that the ball gag was what chained the head to the rest of the ship, though this was incorrect as the main observation deck was located within the head's crown. The observation deck extended to the back of the ship so that the bridge crew had a 360° view of space around them.

The ship was equipped with something called the 'Liberty Beam', but it is unknown what this was. It was also equipped with a rice cooker and a games console that Bea often abused.

History
In 150,084 CMT, Dr. Gel used this spaceship to chase the carefree space traveller Dandy across the cosmos on the orders of his "lord and master", Admiral Perry. Dr. Gel's assistant Bea multitasked tracking Dandy on the console, playing Galaxy of Warcraft, and managing the ship's rice cooker when the ship finally caught up to Dandy, who was at that moment surfing on a plasma stream in deep space behind the Aloha Oe. Dr. Gel decided to seize the opportunity to attack and ordered Bea to prepare the ship's 'Liberty Beam'. As Bea struggled to do so, Gel raised his cane and lined it up with the reticule in his monocle so that he could fire the beam himself, but before he could, he noticed that Dandy's surf moves were stirring up the plasma current to great heights. Shocked, Gel spun around and looked out through the rear of the observation deck to see a tidal wave of plasma about to come crashing down on them. Gel whispered "Maman, I'm coming to join you" as the plasma wave engulfed the ship and caused it to disappear.
