Prison officer (Desert Drama)

A prison officer was assigned to the Moorland Prison of Cradley in 2066.

As part of the plan to effect his escape, Mr Steelman constructed a robot mouse during the three months of his stay there. He placed the mouse near the ventilation shaft of his cell and, as it was programmed, it found its way to the prison corridors. Upon reaching the prison officer, it shot out a gas pellet which burst at his feet. He fell to the ground, almost immediately incapacitated, allowing Steelman to escape with a special key he had prepared.

Ultimately, however, Mr Steelman's freedom was short-lived. After he failed in his attempt to assassinate the person responsible for his incarceration, Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward, he was restrained by Parker who once again escorted him to the authorities, thus avenging the injured prison officer.
