Veronica stumbles (more like rolls) into
the auditorium where a small squirrel is apparently
speaking to himself, he seems to know the speech quite
well by now as he has been repeating it endlessly all
evening. (see above...erm...until the next post, that
is.)
In the Palace Rotunda, FM is frantically
grabbing the Kings Journals and putting them back on
their pedastals (and keeping them their thanks to the
better paperweight Thietris provided)...but many of them
keep floating to the ceiling, or in one case, floating
to the floor. Eventually giving up, he sinks down into
his desk chair and hopes it all goes away soon or they
invent some better drugs for
him.

like home. Where am I?
Slowly, Speedy
and Dr. Warrell descended the stone staircase,
inspecting the upcoming room and walls with the
flashlight. So far, nothing out of the ordinary. Grassie
has scampered far ahead, eager to show off his new
find. "Grassie, where are you?" shouted
Speedy. "Over here!" chimed the ferret. "It
sounded like he came from the left..." Dr. Warrell
commented as he walked to the left. Speedy held the
flashlight as Dr. Warrell walked ahead, but Speedy was
too busy inspecting the room to shine the light
ahead... THUD!!! "OWWW!" moaned Dr.
Warrell. "Oh yeah, there's a door you need to go
through," chimed the ferret again. "Speedy, please
shine that light over here please!" Dr. Warrell
moaned. "Sorry... you ok?" she asked as she moved the
light onto Dr. Warrell's face. "Well, I'm blinded at
the moment, but I don't think I broke my nose..." said
Dr. Warrell, blinking madly to try to see. "Oh sorry
again," said Speedy as she lowered the light. "Now,
where is this door?" asked Dr. Warrell. "Over here,
to the right,..." Speedy said as she shone the light on
it. The two of them then entered the new
room... "Wow, it's musty in here," commented
Speedy. "Well, there hasn't been any habitation for
years,..." said Dr. Warrell. "But there is still
something active in this room! Come and see!" Grassie
yelped. Speedy shone the light in Grassie's
direction. What she saw made her beak drop. "Oh
my..." Speedy said. Dr. Warrell looked at the lit
area. There was a speaker-like podium, about three
feet high, made of some kind of stone. On the podium,
there was a small mechanical device on it, no bigger
than 1 foot by 1 foot by 2 inches. Grassie stood on his
hind legs to peer onto the podium. "What is it?"
asked Speedy. "Come over to my side! There's more,"
Grassie said. Speedy and Dr. Warrell came over. In
front of Grassie were a few buttons and levers, marked
with D'ni writing and colors. "Did you test this
yet?" asked Dr. Warrell. "No, but I do know it's
functional," Grassie said. "How?" "The green light
is on," Grassie pointed to the small bulb on the side of
the mechanical box. "Wow, I wonder where the battery
is..." Dr. Warrell wondered aloud as he continued to
inspect the sides of the box. "Can we lift it off of
the podium?" asked Speedy. "I don't know, I can't
really seem to reach it, but I don't know if we should.
It seems this thing altogether is one unit," Grassie
commented. "Can I see the flashlight?" Dr. Warrell
asked. "Sure," said Speedy. "See, the box is
welded somehow to the podium, even though the are of 2
different substances," Dr. Warrell pointed
out. "Interesting... so, who wants to press the
buttons?" asked Speedy.

It's possible MrD...although when I got
there most of the computers and electrical equipment had
been removed...or maybe they were just behind that panel
on the wall I'd never been able to get into.
Did
you by chance leave any paperweights behind when you
vacated your office? There's never enough lying around
and the breeze in the cavern goes right through my
office!
I dare say my office won't be used for
evil purposes though! It's main purpose is for me to
summarise! and to keep up with the obligatory research
in this program...you'd be suprised how much of a
taskmaster Thietris can be...
Speaking of
summarizing..I should possibly get some more of those
journals done..or I could just wait until gravity
re-asserts itself.

Ladies and gentlemen, in view of the
difficult conditions we're currently working under, I'm
pleased to inform all personnel that research work is
suspended until things are back to normal, and I declare
a public holiday. ... What's that? Easter? ...
Already?
But alas, Grassie, Speedy, nor Dr.
Warrell hear this announcement since they are in the
basement of some ancient mansion away from everyone
else. "Oh, buttons!" Speedy said excitedly as she
goes and pushes a blue button. A circular piece of
the top of the box opened upward in small triangular
pieces, and an image showed up in the air. There was
this black and white thing, standing on two legs with 2
arms stuck out, and it was moving up and down. "Huh? What is that?" asked Dr. Warrel. "It's a
hologram device..." answered Grassie. "That somehow
has the badger caught in it!" Speedy
exclaimed. "Well, it's a good thing we don't have
sound..." Grassie commented, but Dr. Warrell was already
turning one of the knobs. Suddenly, music was coming out
of nowhere...
"BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER
BADGER MUSHROOOM MUSHROOM!!!" the music went as the
badger bounced up and down in the air. "NOooooooo!"
hollered Speedy and Grassie. Dr. Warrell, curious as
ever, began to move his head to the movements... "Oh
no, he's getting addicted!" Speedy commented since Dr.
Warrell was beginning to mock the badger's
movements. "Find the off button!" Grassie said as he
pushed a green button...

Chuckles58 is doing routine
maintenance on the supercomputer servers in his Takotah
Alley security office.
Let's see now, this
manual that came with these servers says that in order
to protect your information, BACKUP
regularly.
He proceeds to hit the BACKUP
button on the main server's keyboard. It's the button
right next to the OFF-TOPIC switch.
Oh oh,
that terrible screeching in the Cavern is back. Maybe
the Bahro at the D'ni Tax Preparation office ran out of
coffee.
He proceeds to write a new entry into
his journal:
"A funny thing happened on the
way to reading the forum"
He proceeds to head
for the Institution and the D'ni Cavern Supply for more
coffee.
As he passes the fountain, he spies
Urudawg in his new uniform.
Urudawg, it's
great to see you again. Looks like you've recovered
nicely from your experience on K'veer Island. Nothing
like a little R&R, eh boy?
He pats Urudawg
on the head and gives him a little 'cat' catnip toy to
occupy him as there's a lot of idle time in the security
business. ---------------------------- "Where

The Institution is rather quiet. Many
members of staff have taken advantage of Professor T's
generosity and have left the cavern before he decides to
change his mind.
Hmmm. I wonder how Speedy
and Grassie are getting on with Dr Warrell. He seems a
bit of an unstable individual. Still, he's in capable
hands. I can't see that anything untoward could happen -
nothing that might just tip him over the edge
