Noooo!!! Surely Pinwheel is a nuclear-free state? Those are the co-ordinates for the royal trebuchet, I think.

Queen Zee is, of course, completely and utterly pacifist in nature, and would never herself partake of any violent pursuits. However (because every true leader's words always suffix themselves with a "however"), certain convoluted written, verbal, ASL and Significant Look contracts between the Pinwheel state and Montsnmags Enterprises mean that any statements she makes about a Pinwheel arsenal should also be suffixed with "at her disposal".

We aim to please (her majesty).

I'm going to suggest it to Designer Desserts down the road. That way I don't have to walk up that bloody hill to get home.

My bad, you know, I'm not a native english speaker.
I meant the code to the nucleus, the core of the QueenDom's arsenal, the terrible Trebuchet !!

For those who don't know what a trebuchet is, you can have a look at the Kingdom of Heaven movie. You see what they call Ballistae (at least in the french version they did), they are Trebuchets instead.

They were already used to deliver pastries in the Middle Age, but the skill of the army cooks being legendary, one doesn't wonder that their pastries looked like and had the same effect as rocks.
