Thwarting Mort is a Keen 1 mod released by Benvolio in 2005. This was made after Xky Rauh pointed out that Keen had no reason to have his spaceship at the end of Exiting Epsilon. Benvolio made this mod as an extra adventure showing how Keen got his Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket back. Notable is the use of the blowtorch patch for Keen's shots.

Story
In a recent set of adventures, Keen foiled Mortimer McMire several times, but unfortunately found himself stranded in the streets of Epsilon Zeta, with no means of transport home. As he was brought there as a prisoner, he couldn't bring his Bean-With-Bacon Megarocket with him. But then he finds a newspaper on the ground with his face on the front. In it he finds out that his Bean-With-Bacon Megarocket has been hidden in a forest located inland from the coastal city of Epsilon Zeta. At first he thinks it highly stupid of Mortimer McMire, who operates a dictatorship in Epsilon Zeta, to allow such information to be printed in a public newspaper. But then he realises that Mortimer intended for him to be dead by now. Pity Mortimer over-estimated the strength and courage of his thugs. Then it occurs to Keen that Mort should have taken Norp the Yorp (Keen's Pet) into account in his plans. However, despite the bravery the yorp showed in Xtraverse's trilogy "Norp the Yorp", Norp is actually tied to a tree as is the custom in the Blaze household. So Keen walks out of the city, past many thousands of kilometres of nonstop sprawling suburbs and towns. That takes a while. So Keen gets a little bit taller. Then he enters an eerie woodland which is either haunted or occupied by frightening creatures. Either way Keen has to fight his way to the Bean-With-Bacon Megarocket.
