Whilst considering her options, Cordelia
remembered the Bahro and wondered whether they would be
able to help her out of her predicament.
She
wandered over to the B.A.H.R.O. Office to find Cruiser
to see if she could offer any assistance. Just at that
moment Cruiser stuck her head out of the Egg Room
looking for Bren.
"Ah Cruiser, just the person"
she said with a big smile on her face "I seem to have
got myself into a bit of a mess and I wondered whether
you could supply me with a few of your trainees to help
me rid myself of a rather unsavoury person"

"Hello Cordelia, of course. If you will
allow them to finish their meal." Cruiser looks in the
door, the Bahro are on their best behavior. "I will
send a Barry and a Benny to the fountain area in just a
few minutes, if that's alright with you?"
En route to the tree
buildings, Merlin was thinking about what just happened
to Lewis and Clark. "I am rather curious... but where
did that music come from? And what do saxophones have to
do with anything?" asked Merlin. FM put his arm
around Merlin's shoulder. "My dear boy, there are many
things in this world that cannot be explained. Those two
things are bother part of the unexplainable," FM said
calmly. "But doesn't it bother you that at any random
point, a saxophone could be playing and as a result,
drive us mad and force us to run amok like those
explorers did?" asked Merlin. "No," said
FM. "Why?" asked Merlin. "Because we're mad enough
to embarck on such adventures as these! Why do you think
that Thietris asked us to go on this mission? Because we
are mad enough to say yes!" FM explained. "So
everyone else back in the Institution is saner than us?"
asked Merlin. "Sad to say, but yes. The saner you
are, the less of a likelyhood that you go on an
exploration in this unknown age where the only clues of
inhabitants is this diagram of the different kinds of
creatures that live in it..." FM
explained. "DIAGRAM??" shouted Dr Warrell. Speedy
winces. Crud, now he knows... she thought. Dr Warrell
charged up to Speedy. "You knew about these creatures
and you failed to tell me about it!" he asked
loudly. "Yes..." Speedy whispered. "WHAT? What
kind of a friend are you?" he asked her. "I'm sorry,
Dr Warrell, but I really wanted you to come on this
mission and you are a vital part. I mean, watch these
animals be completely harmless..." Speedy
said. "Hrmph! I want out," Dr Warrell said. "Oh
come on, don't be a wuss,..." Grassie moaned as he put a
paw to his head. "No, I want out! I don't want to do
this mission any more because you all lied to me! Some
sort of trust on this team!" Dr Warrell
shouted. "Please lower..." Speedy said. "NO! I
WILL NOT QUIET DOWN! I AM SO ANGRY AT YOU ALL IT ISN'T
EVEN FUNNY!" Dr Warrell screamed. "HAR HAR HAR
HAR!!!" "Who said that!" shouted Dr Warrell. "Hey,
don't look at me," said FM. "Same here..." Merlin
said. Dr Warrell's face turned red with anger. "NOW YOU'RE MOCKING ME!"
he shouted. "We're not!" Speedy said. "HAR HAR HAR
HAR HAR!!!" "Then who said that!" asked Dr
Warrell. Suddenly, a huge head came out of the
bushes... something that looked like a 15 meter tall
turkey... "HAR HAR HAR HAR!!!" the turkey
said. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" went the forumites and
then suddenly, the saxophone played again as the
forumites ran amok, with the big turkey thing chasing
them!

Well I don't want him
wandering away, he might lose his job. Besides I need
him right here.
On Topic; Having finished their
meal, the Bahro file back to the community room for the
rest of their seminar. The instructor is very pleased
with their progress and gives each a book to take with
them. "We
will now continue with our beauty portion of the
seminar."
A Barry and a Benny have gone to the
fountain area to meet Miss Cordelia as she is in need of
some help.
{Dibbler, carfully hiding Cordelia's contract about
his person, procedes to the Clock Courtyard where he
puts up another poster next to the classroom
door:}
He then goes in the classroom where the
professor was taking a nap on his desk and opens the
front of the imager and fiddles with the insides, making
enough noise to wake the dead. It certainatly awoke
Thietris, and he was furous with this
intrusion. [Thietris] "What in Yarvos name do you
think your doing, barging into my office like this
dismantaling my equipment?"
[Dibbler] "Wont be
long guv, just making a slight
ajustment"
[Thietris] "Who are you
anyway?"
[Dibbler, finishing his work and
closeing the front] "CMOT Dibbler, promotional manager
to Ms Cordelia"
[Thietris] "I don't beleve you,
Cordelia would never sign a contract with someone as
dubious as you!"
[Dibbler] "Indeed she has guv,
here, see for yourself, diddn't even question it first"
{so saying, he quickly shows Thietris the contract, but
not long enouth for him to read any of
it}
[Dibbler] "anyway, got a lot to be getting on
with. Good day"
{and with that he sweeps out of
the room leaveing a bewilderd Thietris
behind}
The professor turns to see what had been
had been done to the imager:
[Thietris] "Oh no, how am I to get any work done
with that noise playing all the time, I still can't
beleve Cordelia would even contemplate working with that
man"
As
the saxophone continues its fastpaced sticcado music,
the forumites ran all over the age, being chased by a 15
meter tall turkey creature that says "HAR!" Other random
creatures stopped their usual activities and stared at
the screaming beings as they ran by. Then after the
turkey thing ran by, they would return to their usual
days. After running around for five minutes or so,
the forumites came to this massive tree that had this
weird plant circulating up the trunk. Without thinking,
they ran up that to the top of the plant trail.
Fortunately, the stopped height was taller than 15
meters. The forumites panted as they looked below at
the turkey thing, HARing up at them. "What... is...
that... thing?" panted FM. "A... tur... key?"
suggested Merlin. "Let's... hope... that... it...
can't... fly..." panted Grassie. "The... music...
stopped..." said Dr Warrell. "So... it did..." panted
FM. "The bird... is too... big to fly," said Speedy
as she leaned against the trunk. "Oh my gosh!!! Look
everyone!" said FM as he pointed away from the
trunk. Everyone turned and look. There was a wooden
path that led to another tree... and a tree
dwelling.

Cordelia meets with Barry and Benny by
the fountain.
"Ah I am so glad you were able to
come here to help me. I seem to have got myself into a
predicament and I need your help."
Benny and
Barry stand looking at Cordelia. When she has finished
speaking they both nod their heads. Cordelia takes that
as a sign of agreement so she leads the two Bahro to
where she last saw Dibbler.
As they reach the professor's
office, Dibbler is just coming out.
"He's the
one," says Cordelia and before she has finished speaking
Benny and Barry take a hold of Dibbler and lifting him
off his feet, they carry him back into the professor's
office and forcibly place his hand on the Negilahn
linking book. Just before he disappears Cordelia manages
to grab the "contract" which she rips into little
pieces.
"There Professor, looks like I've sorted
out that little problem. Now then, are you ready for
your cocoa?"
Thietris gives Cordelia a knowing
look and nods his head.
"Yes, that would be
lovely - a nice mug of cocoa and then it's time for
bed."
On her way to the Egg Room, Cordelia calls
in on Cruiser to thank her so much for letting her use
the services of Benny and Barry

The Bahro who have completed their
training seminar, have been dismissed. The instructors
seem to think that it was a successful day. The day has
provided much insight into Bahro behavior. "I must give
credit to our two instructors today, let me introduce
them." "Mr Felix, our etiquette instructor." "And Ms Tyler our
beauty instructor." "An announcement please, all Bahro please report to
your current jobs tomorrow and good luck."
*Mr.
Felix seems to have an anxiety disorder*

Cordelia arrives back in the professor's
office with his cocoa.
"Ah yes professor, I was
forgetting about Speedy and her friends. Oh well, never
mind, I am quite sure they will welcome Dibbler into
their merry band of explorers."
She suddenly
realises she has a couple of hot dogs in her hand. With
a horrified look she quickly throws them in the bin.
Cordelia prefers ice cream to hot dogs
"Now drink up
your cocoa and I'll open your drawer for you so you can
jump in. Bed time seems to come round so fast it would
appear that even Zebedee is missing it these days"

OT: Negilahn: "Well, we
found a way up without using ropes!" said
Merlin. "But we don't remember where the house is
from here, and that is where the rest of our stuff is!"
said Grassie. "Well, we have food," said FM as he
took out a sandwich. "But we don't know for how long.
And if we try to head back, we might get lost," said Dr
Warrell. "You do have a point, but we don't know what
the food is like here or where the hut is and we won't
have food forever," Speedy said. "Well, what should
we do? Check these dwellings first and then try to head
back?" asked Merlin.
