Just getting home from another adventure, [[Jenny Everywhere | Just getting home from another adventure, [[Jenny Everywhere (Tweetstorm)|Jenny Everywhere]] is called back into action to defeat some giant squids attacking the city's waterfront. She defeats them using road salt, and heads by biplane to a secret island base previously employed by several other supervillains (such as [[Captain Iguanodon]]) which is currently being used by [[Doctor Shiokara]], the mad scientist who created the artificial giant squids. | ||
She attempts to use a secret passageway she discovered on one of her previous adventures, but has been live-tweeting the whole thing, not realising that Shiokara ''reads'' her Twitter feed, and she is soon apprehended by his “witless minions”. She then uses this to her advantage, however, tweeting for people to come free her from the pit where he trapped her, when she's actually already escaped it. When Jenny tweets again, it is to announce that she's taken control of the laboratory; “the minions ran away as soon as the squid tank exploded, but Shiokara has escaped by rocket kite”. | She attempts to use a secret passageway she discovered on one of her previous adventures, but has been live-tweeting the whole thing, not realising that Shiokara ''reads'' her Twitter feed, and she is soon apprehended by his “witless minions”.
