Ok, now that I am finally caught
up... Back in Teledahn:
Dr Osmostien whistled
as he walked to the front door of the prison. There was
a big knocker on the door, so he used it. THUD
THUD THUD THUD A moment later, a little window
opened and a badger face appeared. "What do you
want?" asked the badger. "I have come to talk to the
Ancient One. Is he available?" asked Dr
Osmostien. "Hold on a moment," said the badger as he
closed the
window.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In
the tunnels: Ukoi led Speedy, Grassie, Dr Warrell,
and MrD down the path to the prison. Ukoi was carrying
bongos, ready to play once they got near the prison
doors. "MrD, stop singing. They could hear us," said
Grassie. "Oh sorry..." said MrD, curious on where
they are at the moment. Finally, they all came to a
pathway that had 2 badger guards at the end of it, where
a door was. "Ready?" asked Ukoi. "Ready!" said the
others. The badgers saw this group and they moved
into a defensive position. They growled
slightly. Ukoi pilled out his bongos in front of him
and began to bang on them. "Mama was queen of the
mambo Papa was king of the Congo..." Ukoi
began. The badgers cringed at the sound of the
bongos. Pretty soon, they dropped their spears, turned
to the door and ran through it. "Go!" Ukoi yelled as
he began to run as he continued to play the bongos. The
forumites all followed
him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The
Ancient One is currently asleep, but he should awaken
soon. It is almost mealtime..." said the badger as he
opened the window again. "So can I come in?" asked Dr
Osmostien. "Hold on," said the badger as he closed
the window again. A moment later, the door opened and
Dr Osmostien walked in. So far, things are going
well...

some time, and no-one is sure what has happened to
him}
Journal of Stellaflora part
1:
“I have stared this journal to help myself
workout how to get out of this prodicoment. From what
information I can gather, I appear to be stuck between
three different realities.”
25/04/2004. “I am
still not quite sure what went wrong, one minute I was
in my old lab in Eder Gira sending my modified KI
dispenser though the inter-dimensional portal generator.
The next I find myself waking up floating in mid-air
above a strongly deserted Institution, one choked with
rubble and debris. Suddenly, I find myself falling from
my prone position in the air above the dry, cracked
fountain. I check my KI and find that it is unable to
register my position with the Great Zero, but other
readings (I have highly modified my KI for scientific
reacerch) suggest that I am in the location of the
Insitution, but form what I can see, it does not look
like the DRC had ever came here. I later find that the
reason for this is that they haddent, something had gone
terribly wrong with my Portal Genorator, I suspect
Sabotage*. I had better be getting to bed for now, I
shall write some more of what has happened to me
later”
* [semi-OT]near then end of “The
Mystory of the Bahro Caves”, the EVIL Mr.D (not current
Mr.D) had tampered with my portal genorator
[/OT])
The basement of the prison: Ukoi
chased down the badgers while playing his bongos. Now,
there are more than 2 running away... approximately 15
have now heard the music and seen Ukoi that they are
trying to find a place to get rid of the
noise. Meanwhile, Speedy, Dr Warrell, Grassie, and
MrD were right behind Ukoi. Finally, at the bottom of
some stairs, Ukoi stopped running and playing. He turned
around to the forumites. "Go up stairs. Take right,
over bridge, and third door on left. Get you to cells.
Good luck!" Ukoi huffed. "Thank you so much!" Speedy
said as she went over and honked his nose. Ukoi
blushed, but he turned around and ran off, playing his
bongos again. "Why did you honk his nose?" asked
Grassie. "I've always wanted to do that to an Osmo,
and since Ukoi has been so helful, I figured it was the
best way to thank him," Speedy said. "But isn't that
the equivalent of kissing him?" asked MrD. "Eh, I
would have hurt him if I tried... anywho! Upstairs!"
Speedy said and now the group charged up the
stairs.
Anicent One's office/room: Dr
Osmostien was lead to the Ancient One's room. Inside was
rather comfortable... very much like the way the humans
had it before the badgers took over. He sat in one of
the comfortable upright chairs and waited for the badger
to return from his nap...

Poor Elkae, one of the problems with
having a great mind is lack of mental
stability.
Ah, yes. The Twenty-three Faces of
Elkae. Now that her secret is out, she must go. But she
leaves you with something quite precious to her—her
memories. Do with them as you will.
If she has done
anything other than make you laugh, she apologizes. She
meant well.
Awwww...(((((((Elkae))))))))...you
come back soon y'hear!
On a note that TOTALLY
spoils the moment - that picture only has twenty-two
faces of Elkae, not the twenty-three as previously
advertised..unless you count "thank you" as a face
anyway...

Aye. The problem with
Elkae is that she gives the impression that she's there,
even when she's not.
RL can't keep her forever!
Cheers!

Having completely forgotten where she
was going, Ronda wanders curiously into Thietris'
office. She isn't sure the Professor is there or not,
but she sees the stack of possible research avenues on
his desk and peers at them nearsightedly. Several seem
very interesting indeed. "Conjecture on the morphology
and habits of Negilahn wildlife... neutrino power
source... Tokotah buildings... Hmmm!"
Sifting
through the list again she has the strangest feeling
that there used to be one about exploring the ceiling of
the cavern, and that that was the one she'd wanted to
start with. "Maybe it was something Boatingirl said,"
Ronda consoles herself. I was wrong about the quartz
crystals, after all. They only LOOK hexagonal. They're
actually two rhombowhatsists stuck
together...
She then remembers that she had
been to the DISCO for some coffee and fig newtons
earlier, and coincidentally had stocked up on climbing
supplies. "Well, why not?" Not possessing
stereoscopic vision, she fears neither great heights nor
depths, and with her Relto book sturdily affixt to her
hip, falling has become a sport. Or hobby, really...
Ronda has always been something of a
dillettante...
The only question remains is
whether to start by climbing the hood walls or crawling
out from the burro cave exit. Ronda ponders this a
moment. She isn't sure where the burro cave is, really,
in relation to anything else in the cavern, other than,
of course, the lake itself. If she climbed the wall then
at least she'd have familiar coordinates to start
from.
Ronda continues to dither a bit, tapping
her chin and turning in circles, wondering which wall to
head for. She begins to peregrinate and walks into the
huge linking book by the fountain.
"Ara?"

First
crystal cleavage, then boats, then great big knockers...

And I'd like
to say that reading all the comics on Slow Wave and then
reading the rest of the blurbs here may have permanently
affected my brain.
In cavern:
Ronda KI # 589268 - Atrus shard ~ TMP When the
going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
In the Ancient One's
office: Eventually, the Ancient One came to the
office, still yawning from his slumber. He is a little
surprised on why the scientist came to his office on his
own accord, without any sort of badger
summons. "Well, Doctor, this is a pleasant surprise.
What brings you here?" asked the badger. "I vant to
make a bargain," "Oh really? What kind?" "The kind
that deals with freedom," "Har har har... whose
freedom?" "Vhy, mine of course. But there are some
other terms as vell..." "Oh really doctor. What may
it be this time? Would you like some mushrooms so you
can see how they taste with your garlic ice cream?" the
badger said sarcastically. "No, nothing along those
lines. First of all, Ukoi must come vith me," "Oh!
That is a gimmie! Seriously, please try to refrain his
name from my presense. I feel a headache coming on and
it seems to be in rhythm of the way he plays his
bongos... grr... how I hate those bongos!" Oh boy, he
better not be near this office, Dr Osmostien thought as
he perspired a little. "Ok, vell, that is good... but
the second term is that the human prisoner you have is
to be free too," said Dr Osmostien. "And what is the
offer in return? Garlic ice cream? Broccoli
scones?" "No, peanut oil and how to make it," This
stunned the badger. "Surely you must be kidding,"
said the badger. "No, I am not, and don't call me
Shirely," said the doctor. The badger
paused. "Wow, this is quite an offer. So, let me
understand you correctly. You would give me the formula
to make peanut oil and I am suppose to let you, Ukoi,
(shiver) and the human go free? In what, your
spaceship," "The human and her friends vho are in
this vorld. And back to vhere they came from," said Dr
Osmostien. Now the badger was confused. Didn't he
know that the girl was gone? Eh, no use in confusing the
poor man... "I can do that... let them home the way
they came, via book. And I am to let you and Ukoi go by
spaceship back to wherever you came
from?" "Correct," "Hrm... give me a
moment,..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In
the cells: "Hey! There is a lit cell up ahead!" said
MrD. The forumites ran to the lit cell. They came to
it and looked in, expecting to see Elkae. Instead they
got a different
surprise. "FM?!?!?!?!!?!?!"
Studying gives
you knowledge. Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. I am
learning how to be corrupt.
FM waved to everyone else from his cell,
as he sat back on a cushion, wearing clothes that were a
lot less tattered that the ones he had been wearing, and
with an absolute smile on his face.
"Hey guys!
glad to see you could make it!" FM said, a smile of his
face. "Did you know they have food here that isnt
mushrooms, and that apparently my INSANE stamp makes me
some sort of superhero for these Badgers.." he flicked
through a book in front of him. "Defeater of the Algae"
he quoted. "Basically I get this cool superpowered suit
and defend the universe from Algae..although they're
keeping me in here for a while while they find the suit
in their vaults, then they said they'll think about
letting me out once they make sure it fits.."
At
that moment, a hole opened up in the roof, and a crate
fell into the cell. FM walked over, opened the crate and
pulled out a tinfoil hat, a pair of tinfoil gloves and a
pair of tinfoil boots.
"Oooh, the suit of
Algae-defeating...and there's a button on the helmet..it
says DO NOT PUSH!!!...hmm, I wonder why." Everyone
outside the cell shook their heads as FM pressed the
button.
In an instant the tinfoil helmet sprung
out of FMs hands and attatched itself to his head, the
gloves and boots did the same thing. FM tried to prise
the helmet off his head without avail.
"Well, I
guess the suit fits...I just wish it DID something
besides make me look like I'm paranoid about
aliens...although I suppose tinfoil will stop the aliens
invading my brain..
By the way, have you guys
figured out a way home? There's a whole lake in D'ni
cavern filled with Algae waiting to be
smote.."

Now that Seymour has left, Chere puts up
the CLOSED sign.
"I finished my report for the
Professor, now I can start my real research," she thinks
as she walks to the back room.
Making sure she
has closed the door between the shop and her lab, she
removes her specimen from the locked
refrigerator.
She places it on the table and
prepares to feed it.
"I've got to be very careful
this doesn't get loose. I'm not sure how or what it
would do to the Hood. I'm so glad I can do "research"
for the Professor while looking for the perfect home for
Audrey II. I really think Kadesh will
work for a breeding environment. The Professor's list of
research projects showed Kadesh as an area he wants
studied. Now if I can just convince him to allow me to
continue. And they all think Seymour's name was just by
chance"
Chere feeds Audrey II until she won't
take anymore, returns her to the locked area and reopens
WHOOPS.
Pleased to meet you again, FM! Won't you
have a story to publish when you get out?! Thinking of
which - do you need the Ancient One to let you out, or
is this supposed to be a
jailbreak?
"It doesn't matter, MrD. Dr Osmostien is
with the Ancient One right now... but I think he was
negoiating Elkae's escape and not FM's..." Speedy
clarified. "Speaking of which, where is Elkae? We're
suppose to be rescuing her!" Grassie
commented. "Well, she wasn't in here when I got here,
but almost all of this cool stuff was though!" FM said
excitedly, pointing to the TV, VCR, the food,
etc. "Wow... nice... but Kurt Russel?" commented Dr
Warrell. "Sounds like Elkae alright," said MrD.
"So she didn't need us to rescue her then? Oh great,
what are we going to do now?" asked Speedy, really sad
that Elkae is gone.
In the office: "Ok, Dr
Osmostien. It's a deal," Ancient One said after a minute
silence. Dr Osmostien couldn't believe his ears. He
accepted?!?!?! Amazing. ""V-v-vell! Shall ve shake on
it to seal the deal?" asked Dr Osmostien. "Might as
well..." said the Ancient One as he extended a paw. Dr
Osmostien extended his hand and they shook. "Great!
Now, the formula!" said the badger. "No, I vill give
it to you just as I leave in the spaceship with Ukoi and
after the humans have gone back home..." Dr Osmostien
commanded. The Ancient One growled softly. He was
thinking he smelled a trap.

Veronica stood
stock still, her mouth open in a small "o" of surprise
at the sight that greeted her. They were still in
Eder Gira, on the other side of the waterfall they had
never been able to explore in the past. It was amazing,
the sight simply breathtaking. She turned to Grizz as he
stepped up behind her. "This is the most beautiful place
I have ever seen. Can you use your KI and take a picture
of it, so we can share it with the others?"
