Sheesh, pretty soon
everyone is going to be making clones of themselves!
OnT:
When
Speedy and Dr Osmostien got to the bottom of the stairs,
FM had collected three more badgers, making the total
being 4 unconscious badgers on the floor. "Oh my..."
Speedy started. "Oh no! Stop stop!" yelled Dr
Osmostien. FM backed away from the door. "Quiet,
will you? I'm hunting badger!" he said. "Did you find
any rope?" "Does this look like rope?" asks Speedy,
pointed at Dr Osmostien. "Well... can you make rope?
We could use his hair and form braids..." said FM as he
approached Dr Osmostien. "Oh dear dear..." Dr
Osmostien muttered. He was still holding onto his
magnifying glass. When FM got close enough, Dr Osmostien
lifted up his arm and brought the magnifying glass down
on top of his head. FM stodd there stunned, and then he
fell to the floor. "Doctor! Did you kill him?" asked
Speedy ask she ran to FM's side. "Oh no. He's just
knocked out, vhich is for the best right now. Hov many
mushrooms have you all had since you've been here?"
Osmostien asked. "Oh... I don't know. I haven't eaten
that much since I am not a big fan of mushrooms. But I
bet the others have..." Speedy said after thinking for a
few minutes. "Ahh, that explains it. If they have had
any of the mushrooms in this vorld, it makes them... you
know... a little loco, like this person here..." Dr
Osmostien explained. "Ahh... which explains why Dr
Warrell was singing in his sleep earlier..." said
Speedy. "Vho?" "Dr Warrell, one of the members of
our group." Speedy said as she pointed to his sleeping
body. "AHH!! At last, another scientist!" Dr
Osmostien said excitedly. He ran over and shook Dr
Warrell awake. "Is it true? Are you really a
scientist?" Dr Osmostien asked as Dr Warrell woke
up. "Wha..." said Dr Warrell all confused. The new
outburst from Dr Osmostien woke up MrD and Grassie
too. "Grr... is it time for breakfast?" asked
MrD. "And who is this guy?" asked Grassie. "MrD,
Grassie, Dr Warrell, meet Dr Osmostien," Speedy
introduced.

Leaving one badger on gaurd at the door,
the others had gone to look for other exits out of the
metal container the now fugitives were in. Returning, it
did not take them long to determine what had happened
seeing the bits of badger fur and drops of badger blood
on the door. This did not improve the mood of the
badgers one bit who had been chasing the badger age
interlopers.
One of the smaller badgers looking
at the metal door intently spoke to the much larger Big
Hoss badger near by. "You know, that thing reminds me of
a kettle. Seeing as these fugtives have taken one or
more of our brother badgers and possibly injured or
killed them, do you think we'll get to eat them when we
catch them? Which do you think we should eat first? I
vote no on the scrawny one with the white coat on. But
perhaps he could be saved for later. The other older
human is questionable, but is a possibility. Of course
there is the ferret, but for all of us, I fear he would
be little more then a snack. What about that
bird?"
Big Hoss Badger suddenly got a huge
grin on his face as visions of his favorite foods came
to mind. Mountains of mashed potatoes with mushroom
gravy. Pickled beets, and candied apples. And the bird,
let's see roasted and golden brown or perhaps mesquite
smoked. He sure hoped he got the legs. That bird had
some delicious looking legs." I don't know Little
Badger, personally, I vote we eat the bird first. What
do you think Festus?"
"Now I don't no ty'all.
The Old One ainta likely to take kindly to usen wanting
to eat these heren bad folks. He seems ta have a certain
fondness for the prizner. Still, theyen did take one of
our own and apparently injured or k.k.killed em. Perhaps
if Miss Kitty wasan to talk to the Old One he could be
persuaded. But see here! How ween gon to get them thar
characters outen their anyway? Seemen like we need some
kinda ovan can opener. But ifn we are going to eat any
of them first. I vote for the youngun human. I think he
would be the tenderest and best tasting to start with. I
think I heard one of the others call him
FM."
Butch badger turned to Sundance badger and
asked, "Sundance, did you bring the dynamite? that ought
to make a good can opener." Sundance responded, "No, but
I know where it is and can get it in a hurry."
Between the badgers being hungry and one of
their own taken and possibly injured or worse, they were
properly motivated to a frenzy and began tunneling
around the base of the enclosure and underneath it,
while Sundance Badger went to retrieve the appropriate
can opener.
"Hello Ronda! I apologize for my long
abscence, I wanted to deliver those linking books we
found."
"No problem Merlin. Have you tried their
Danish?"
"I'm afraid I haven't, seeing as I only
have been here one day. However, I do enjoy eating
blueberry muffins, and there's a box of them right
there. Would you like
one?"

Veronica walks into the DISCO and takes
a good hard look at Grizz. She looks down at her shorts
and tee shirt and then at the suit he is wearing minus a
tie.
"I'm glad to see you like my idea for the
store", she says a bit sarcastically, however it was
meant to be teasingly.
She heads to the corner of
the store she wants to rearrange, talking all the while,
"I was thinking we could move this shelf over there and
move this spelunking equipment to sub-level 3, I mean do
we really need it right here?

Professor T arrives at
DISCO.
"Grizz, you're back! And looking very
smart too, if I may say so. I wish I had something a
little more - Veronica! A Gucci blazer! For me? Oh I
think this is going to be the start of a new Age of
Elegance. Now Veronica, I'll shortly be roasting my nuts
and wonder if you can supply me with a large
brazier."
Veronica gives the professor a hard
stare and disappears for a few minutes. She returns to
the counter and holds up an object in front of the
professor. It doesn't look terribly
flame-proof.
"Hmmm. It's going to have to be very
hot."
Veronica raises an eyebrow and disappears
again. She returns with another, ah, object, this time
in red. She holds it up for the professor's approval. He
looks at it thoughtfully for a few moments, his head on
one side.
Grizz looks at Veronica, and grins (that
evil one again).
"You're the manager." he said.
"Seems to me like that's a management
decision."
He looks at her again.
Gently
he says, "Uhhh...Nica?...now that you're the manager,
don't you think you ought to dress for it a little more
appropriately? You might check those crates that just
got delivered. I had the delivery guys move them to the
work aisle on the first sub-level. Now I'm not
criticizin' you understand, and you might not want the
four inch heels as part of the ensemble, but you might
want to look just a tad more stylish, don't you think?"

Before long, a badger gaurd

stocked an ample supply for his old bones and several
badgers were suffering rather massive headaches from the

Sporting his elegant new look, Professor
T returns to his office, and is accosted en route by a
young man of somewhat flowery language.
"Er - oh
- greetings Master Merlin. Had I not one whit more guile
I would have surmised, perchance, that you be some sort
of sorcerer. Nay, lead the way into my abode, wherein I
will show you to this small closet towards the gloomy
nether regions of my office. I open the door, thus, and
bid you enter. Privy - take a seat."
Professor T
slams the door of the closet and locks it from the
outside.

Elkae popped three of the miracle
tablets into her mouth and chased them with a cup of
badger coffee. Relief was on its way. Yesterday's
frenetic activity had taken a lot out of the trepid
Uruist.
Veronica is still holding the red, ah
object, in her hand. She looks at Grizz to ask, "Why
would the Professor need this?" She holds it up in front
of his face.
