Grizz comes in, checks the spindle, and
finds the note Bizzy left. He reads it twice. He shakes
his head and rubs his beard.
"Now what in the
world....what is that dizzy Bizzy up to now? Well, I
suppose he knows his own bizness."
He makes a note of
the items on the list in a big book so he can reorder,
checks to see if Veronica has found the ink-stained pile
of clothes yet, and not finding her, decides that since
business is really slow he'll take the rest of the day
off.

As Speedy kept on hitting and turning
different buttons and knobs, the badger in the imager
kept moving into different positions and at the same
time, Dr. Warrell and Grassie moved into the same
positions. Every now and then, both of the guys got into
a rather amusing position and Speedy would pull out her
camera and take a photo. "Hehehehehe... I can't wait to
show these off!!!" she giggled. Finally, she got the
idea of how the imager worked. Blue button =
play/pause Green = language Red = speed Yellow
= color Purple = position knob 1 = volume knob
2 = view/rotation And all she had left to solve was
knob 3... She pressed the blue botton but turned the
volume down low. As the badger moved up and down, Speedy
turned the knob. Once she started doing this, the badger
had stopped moving up and down. "Huh?" Speedy
questioned. Dare she turn up the volume? But she saw the
badger's mouth moving in the imager. Maybe I should
then... She turned up the volume, and what she got
surprised her. Secret surprises what you
seek Ponder powerfully, you may peak Into corners,
cupboards, closets galore Exciting, excelling, ready
to explore? These words being recited broke
Grassie and Dr. Warrell out of their trace. "Woah,
what happened?" asked Grassie. "I don't know... I
can't remember anything at all, and I didn't have any
mead this time!" Dr. Warrell commented. "Look what I
found in the imager! I justy got this message from the
badger, who can speak English!" Speedy explained as she
pointed out the speaking badger head, as it repeated the
poem again.

*The neighborhood had been quiet with
most of the people gone. He heard a racket earlier but
couldn't tell where it was coming from because of the
echo. The old dawg decides to make another round before
curling up in his kennel. When he checks the door to
squirrel's office, he sees something
different.*
Inside the office of Professor
Thietris Squirrel, CEO, President and Managing Director,
Institution of Advanced Exploration of Myst
Worlds.
Bizzy had a terrible time getting his
wheelbarrow through the door. But being persistent, he
finally managed. He walked to the secret compartment at
the back of the room. He tugged and he pulled and he
worked up a sweat but the door just wouldn't budge. The
sealant was old and hardened. The little gnome turned,
rummaged through the items in the wheelbarrow and
grabbed the prybar.
"This should do
it."
Had anyone seen the little creature trying
to use the prybar -- pulling, pushing, tugging and
jumping -- they would have had quite a laugh.
Eventually, though, the door relented and fell to the
floor with a crash knocking Bizzy on his
backside.
When he got up, he peeked his head into
the dark cubby and was delighted to see that his
precious books are all present and accounted for. Seeing
them again gave him a feeling of comfort. Professor
Thietris will need to know about these eventually. Maybe
Bizzy will tell him the next time he sees him. Maybe
not. Eager to leave and get back to work, he reattaches
the door, seals it with biz-wax and begins to clean up
his mess.
But just as he heads toward his special
new door, he hears something outside ... probably that
dawg again. Bizzy stands perfectly still, scarcely
breathing. It would not be good to have the dawg find
him in here without the Professor present. He waits for
the dawg to go away.
At that moment, FM happened to be
heading to Thietris office with yet another demand for
paperweights, or to see if he could get a page-holding
assistant. He notices urudawg standing patiently outside
the door.
"Now Urudawg I don't think you need to
guard Thietris' office so much! How about we just take
you back to your kennel." He tried to pick up Urudawg
but the new uniform made this rather difficult. "Fine
then, I'll just leave all the doggy treats at your
kennel and you can have them later on."
FM walked
away casually swinging a bad of doggy biscuits in plain
view. When he came back to see Urudawg still standing
there.
"Urudawg! I need to get into the office!
And I don't think Thietris would want you inside, he
told us very sternly you were an outside dog! OOH LOOK
AT THAT A BADGER!" He said, pointing in the distance,
and while Urudawg turned and looked FM snuck into
Thietris' office.
Now the only thing was getting
back out...but it was nice to know how reliable and
un-foolable the security
was.

Almech sees the Institution come into
view below him.
"Finally, solid ground!" He
exclaims. He suddenly realizes how quickly the solid
ground is approaching and begins to wonder how he is
going to get out of this.
Having meant to link somewhere else,
Ronda stumbles accidentally into the Institute hood.
Hearing Almech's shout, she runs up to the courtyard by
the linking room, trips over a cone but rolls with it
and keeps running. Peering nearsightedly up into the
gloom, she can almost make out a hatted figure up on the
balcony.
"Whoa, dude. Can't do the balcony jump?
Me neither. Sorry I can't help!"
Stomach
rumbling, she follows a wafting scent into the Egg room.
"Donuts!"

Cordelia cautiously links back into The
Institution from the A&C Hotel, wondering whether
the CFGTR syndrome has now reverted back to
normal.
As she materialises by the fountain she
is pleased to note that everything appears to be normal
once more.
"Fantastic," she mutters as she
arrives on page 21 rather than page 1
She makes her
way down to the D'ni Cavern Supplies and sticks her head
round the door to look for Grizz. Seeing no sign of him
she decides he must have taken the day off to watch The
Masters Golf Tournament and leaves a message for him on
the spindle.
"Grizz, please let me know how
Justin Rose does today. I would rather like him to
win."
She then retraces her steps and goes on to
Thietris's office to see if the little squirrel is
around.
Just as she was about to knock on the
door she hears a shout from above, "Somebody get me down
from here!"
She looks up and sees the beige hat
of Almech peering down over the balcony
railing.
"Sorry Almech, I didn't bring my ladders
with me today. I can probably find you a brolly though
if you want to try
jumping"
