"Dibbliridofi?" asked Speedy. "What?"
asked Merlin. "So that is what we're going to call
those turkeys?" asked Speedy. "Umm... I guess so,"
said Merlin. "So how do you spell it then?" Speedy
asked as she raised an eyebrow. "Umm..." Merlin said
as he scratched his head. "I have an idea. We can
call it officially Dibbliridoriaphia or whatever you
said, but until we can find a spelling for that word,
let's call it a Dibb," suggested FM. "Dibbliridofi,"
corrected Merlin. "Ok, Merlin, your assignment is to
figure out how to spell that word. Once you figure that
out, write it down somewhere so we have a written record
of it. For short, we are going to call those turkeys
Dibbs. Agree?" said Speedy. "Sounds fine to me!" said
Grassie. "Ditto," said Dr Warrell. "Great,
majority wins. Now let's check out the rest of this
trunk," Speedy said.

Standing inside Ghost Stellaflora's
Relto hut, a certain unhappy witch stands inside watching the
rain through the door and windows.
Where is
that semi-traspantsy scientist? When my flying monkeys
get a hold of him ... Oh, yeah, he's non-corporeal.
Well, he's going to be surprised when he gets back
here.
With broom in hand and nothing else to
do, the witch begins to clean the Relto. Sweeping the
floor, dusting the bookshelves, and doing the dirty
laundry in GS's closet.

This new center fascinated the entire
exploring party. "Well, there is only one way to go,
and that is up!" said Grassie. "How about we split up
and check the different rooms along this corridor?"
asked Merlin. "That makes sense... did you learn how
to spell that word yet?" asked Speedy. "Yes, I did...
and I wrote it down too in my journal..." Merlin
muttered. "Good boy! Ok, so who wants the first
room?" Speedy asked the group. "I'll do it," said
Grassie. "I'll take the second one!" said
Merlin. "I'll take the third," said Speedy. Dr
Warrell and FM looked at one another. They suddenly
pulled out one hand and did rock-paper-scissors. Dr
Warrell lost. "I got the fourth room," said FM.
"Fifth," Dr Warrell muttered. "Great! Let's go!"
Speedy said as they walked up the corridor. Each
forumite went into their respective rooms. Speedy's
room was quite interesting. There was a rather large
table, and on it, was some glass panel perpendicular to
the table top. Behind the table was a very high chair.
Speedy sat in the chair and looked at the glass panel.
At the base of it, there were buttons... looking like a
keyboard, but in a different language. Not even D'ni.
Speedy pressed a button, and the screen turned a bluish
color. "Cool, an imager..." Speedy said with a
grin... until suddenly, there was something on the
screen that made her grin disappear. There appeared a
face... somewhat hazy on the screen but you can still
tell that there was a face on the screen. And it wasn't
just a picture, for when it saw Speedy, it gasped and
immediately began to move its mouth...
"NI! NI!
NI!" the face cried. This sound made Speedy cringe,
until she fell to the floor and put her wings on her
ears. "NOOOOO!" she yelled, trying to block the NI's
to her brain...

Whilst wildly cleaning Ghost Stellafloras hut with
her broom, The Wicked Witch of the Web knocks a certain
Relto book off of the of the shelf: "Thats where I
shall find she who dared to steal my sisters Ruby Red
Slippers.
I'll get you my little pretty, and your
little Keanuilnt too (cackles)"
The last cackle
is fades amid the sound of Linking
Meanwhile, the witches
swarm arrive in the prfessors office, much to the dismay
of the poor Squirril, who dicided to go to be early
tonight. The swarm, confronted with two linking books
decide to search both of them for the missing Blue
Betty. After a few minuets organising themselves,
both teams link though the two books on the
desk.
Half an hour later, Cordelia enters the
room to check on wether Theitris needed anything. She is
puzzled by his apprant absence, until she opens the top
draw of the desk to see the terrified professor rocking
backwards and forwards muttering all of the
time:
"Hunderads of Blue Winged Bahro! Hunderads
of Blue Winged Bahro!..."
Cordelia rushes to the
egg room to fetch him a mug of Coco to calm his
nerves.

Merlin walks into
his room. There was nothing in the room except for
one desk in the very center. There was a very fancy
chair behind it, covered in ornate carvings of Negilahn
wildlife. On top of the desk were two small
pyramid-shaped devices, each with a green button on
it.
"I wonder what this does?" thinks Merlin
aloud.
He walks over, sits in the chair, and
presses the button on the right
one.
"Wow."
The device displayed a
detailed 3D projection of all the species that there had
been on the Negilahn wildlife paper, and a few
others.
"I wonder what the other does?" thinks
Merlin
He presses the button on the left
one.
"Double wowee."
That one shows a map
of the tree, and there were five little dots on
it.
"That's peculiar," marvels the
mage.

The swarm links to Negilahn and starts
looking around. All of a sudden, there is a loud
staccato sax sound! The bettys scatter hither and
thither, and are pursued by a flock of pterodactyl-like
creatures! Eventually, the swarm outpaces them and they
fly through a hole into a hollow tree.

Grassie went into his room. All the room was
filled with were bookcases, filled with books. Curious,
he went to the shelves and pulled out a book. He opened
it and was surprised: inside of it was a language that
he didn't know, pointing out differen diagrams and
figures of buildings, objects, places, and apparently
what looks like the insides of a Dibb. "Maybe Dr
Warrell should have covered this room..." Grassie
thought.
Dr Warrell walked into his door. "Ow!"
he said as he rubbed his head. He opened the door, but
all he found was a balcony, but it had the most
spectacular view:
"Wow," he
said as he pulled out a camera and took a
shot.
Meanwhile, FM was very happy. He found a
kitchen with some sort of edible foods in it... luckily
there weren't any mushrooms.

Chuckles58 returns to the Bahro
Entertainment Software Team (BEST) office in Ae'gura.
After a relaxing weekend, he is ready to try Phase 2 of
the in-house testing of the Magenta Planets computer
application. The Bahro assure him that significant
enhancements have been made to the program since his "Adventure on the High Seas" last
week.
He sits down to the computer workstation,
again dons the 3D Virtual Reality head gear, then clicks
the Magenta Planets icon on the desktop.
He waits
for the colored bar to reach the lower right side of the
screen, then he finds himself sitting in front of the
workstation in the offices of Magenta Planets. He looks
over the items on the desk nearby for anything
different. He sees a recent photo of himself with the
wife and kids. He sees an envelope with his name on it.
He opens it to reveal a paycheck. A PAYCHECK! Wow, first
I get to experience a death-defying aquatic adventure,
meet a volleyball with an engaging personality, plus
play Robinson Crusoe. Now they pay me for it? Is this
game great or what?
He endorses the check,
includes a deposit slip, then addresses an envelope to
his bank. He gets up and drops it into the outgoing mail
box in the mail room. Then he wanders over to the break
room to see if the programmers left any pizza. Sadly, he
came too late. He helps himself to an A&W Root Beer
from the fridge, plus a couple brownies from the
counter.
He drops by the office of Magenta
Planets President and CEO Round Mueller, but he's not
there. He walks across the hall to Round's brother's
office. Robb N. Mueller is sitting with his back to the
door, tinkering with a synthesizer, creating the
soundtrack for an upcoming game. Chuckles decides not to
disturb him during a creative moment.
Back at his
workstation he opens a new manila envelope from Round.
Inside is a note and another CD-ROM. The note
reads:
"My friend, you've returned. Thank you
for evaluating the "Adventure on the High Seas". Your
comments and suggestions will help this game be
commercially viable (and safe) for our customers. I hope
the paycheck you find on your desk will be acceptable
for a token of our appreciation of your hard
work.
I now ask you to venture into a new
experience we have prepared. We have called it "The Golf
Age". We ask that you evaluate it with the same
dedication you gave to our last project.
Oh, and
next time you visit, please remember the donuts, you
fool! Thanks,
Round."

In the dead of night Professor T tossed
and turned in his drawer. The thought was nagging at
him: What happens if you try to link to two places
simultaneously? He could stand it no longer. His two
beady eyes appeared above the open drawer, reflecting
the soft light from Elkae's lamp which glowed on the
desk. All was quiet. He crept out and jumped silently to
the floor, clutching the key to the safe. He unlocked
it, removed the two linking books, and placed them side
by side on his desk: Negilahn; DRC. He
opened both books to the first page. He placed one
trembling paw above each picture. It was now ... or
never. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and
quickly lowered his paws to the pages.
He
regretted his decision immediately. He could not see, he
could not move, and he could not breathe. Had he
understood the full truth of where he had linked to, he
would have realized that his position was worse than his
worse nightmare. And infinitely more
hopeless.
Theitris? What have you done? We may need to send
help to look for you. Are there any Lewises and Clarks
or Barrys/Bennys/Bettys/Keiths around to join in the
search?

Kest putters about the DISCO dusting
the shelves when a Betty walks in and hands him a
telegram. He bows, she nods and links out.
He
scans the letter from his 'network' and
frowns.
Oh, dear. Thietris... What have you
done this time?
He promptly burns the telegram
and goes back to dusting. Soon he's whistling in tune
with the Pub theme drifting up from sub-level
3.
Poor Thietris. You should
know better. You're on your own getting yourself out of
this one.

The professor had linked into solid
rock. It was as though a molten material had been poured
over his body and then set hard. If the material was
later opened up, a perfect mould would have been
revealed, recording in minute perfection the details of
the body of a squirrel. Each whisker would have been
faithfully reproduced, but would no longer have twitched
with life.
