Cruise altitude. Ninety seconds into the welcome-aboard.
The gamble went wrong at 11:42 Zulu. The Incinerator fired its cycle at 11:42:00.6.
Announcement continued through meal service. Seatbelt sign stayed on per regulation. The first officer said the flight deck smelled "faintly of cedar."
“We landed on time and I walked off with my head up. That's what the Incinerator is for.”
