Happy Thanksgiving to those of you so inclined! Enjoy your turkey comas.
Honestly, the security here is pretty terrible. Any cell that you can't see into allows for shenanigans. It's known that Zeph isn't a super, so they didn't stick him in one of their purpose built cells that can account for a number of powers that might be used to escape. Mostly it just floods the cell with knockout gas, but can also flood the cell with water to put out fires, and can also quickly drain the cell, heat it or chill it, shock the floor, stuff like that. The Grrl-verse doesn't have power dampers because I think that makes for lazy writing. I mean, no power dampers beyond klonking someone on the back of the head with a sock full of nickels, as being unconscious is about the most surefire way of preventing someone from using most powers.
It is known, at least among people in the know, that Zeph can do magic, but they figure if they strip away any foci he might have, and bind his hands, and gag him when he's not being actively interrogated, then they can probably keep him under control. Unfortunately for them, they didn't actually grab Zephan, and now the "4 out of 10 competence rating" Goon Squad gets to reinforce the adage that quality is more important than quantity.
