One of
the Knights of Ni ran into the chamber with the
head-knight..
"Sir, one of those giant killer
plants has invaded our fortress!!" He said.
"What
giant killer plants?" The leader
responded.
"Uhhh...the ones that live here, that
eat people and spit back out their bones! Oh wait that's
the turkeys. This must be a NEW kind of Giant Killer
Plant!"
"Well, what are you waiting for, dispose
of it!"
"We already tried saying the word at it,
it didn't even flinch and then ate Sir
Fred!"
"No! Not Sir Fred! This creature must be
stopped!" The leader's eyes narrowed..."Send in the
Turtles...."
Throughout the entire base, a
glowing green light began to flash on and off, and the
Knights of Ni all hurridly ran into their rooms and shut
their doors.
In their new quarters; Merlin,
Speedy, Grassie, Dr Warrell and FM were clueless as to
what was going on...Grub however was cowering in a
corner screwing loudly in foreign languages. FM walked
over to the door, locked it and then pushed their bed up
against it..
"Just to be safe...Now, anyone have
a spoon so we can start digging a way out when things
start trying to knock down our door?" He said. "This is
going to turn out like the Badger Age...I can tell..any
minute now there's going to be crazy scientists and
bongo drums."

Grizz links into the hood. There seems
to ba an unfamiliar odor lingering in the air. He
sniffs. He looks around. Nothing seems out of place.
It's strangely quiet. He sees Almech standing there
holding a rather battered looking book, and calls a
cheery greeting to him. Almech doesn't answer. He seems
rather preoccupied in fact. Grizz shrugs. Just another
proof that things are normal in the hood.
He goes
to peek into the office, wondering if the professor is
in. The door is still wedgied open, but nobody is in
there.
He checks the eggs room, and absently
picks up a stray bite or two of items still arrayed
there. He is reassured that everything is okay.
Time to check out the DISCO. He goes down the
stairs and along the alley to the door. It is closed.
That's rather strange! He puts out a hand, and the door
readily opens. Odd. But not unheard of. He goes in. The
coffee smell is normal. The plate is full of Fig
Newtons. He picks up a couple and munches as he pours a
mug of coffee. He wonders where Kestryll is. He has
obviously been doing his job. Everything is in good
order. There are one or two notes on the spindle. Grizz
picks them off and settles on one of the stools back of
the counter to read them. Veronica has apparently not
come back yet. He hopes she will have good luck
capturing a squee. He settles back, feeling at
home.

Cordelia awakes the next morning,
feeling slightly stiff from her exhausting round of golf
with Chuckles the previous day.
She stretches and
takes her morning stroll over to the egg room to see
what provisions there are left for breakfast.
The
Institution seems deserted. Had she gone down to the
fountain area she would have almost seen Ghost
Stellaflora, but as it was she must have seen right
through him.
As she helps herself to a stack of
eggs, bacon and pancakes she thinks fondly of the
previous days activities.

that Chuckles let me win for once"

An umbrella isn't just
for Christmas, it's for life!
Veronica stares in
disbelief, unable and unwilling to believe her eyes.
"Wha...How...You were never...how did you..." She cannot
form a complete sentence she is so shocked.
"You
thought to leave here again. Without learning...without
knowledge, as you have done in every Age you have
visited."
"I have learned some things. I cannot
remember names. It takes me four or five tries before I
can solve a puzzle." The woman arches her eyebrow. "Well
then, nine or ten times, ok I spend a great deal of time
on them."
"Those things are unimportant." She hands Veronica a book. "I have
compiled in this book...all that has been written. From
the Myst Ages, Riven...this place (she motions with her
hand)...Uru to D'ni. Read...study...when you have
understanding...only then will you truly know your
way."
Veronica opens the book and inside are all
the letters from Atrus and Catherine, journals from
every explorer, the notes left behind by others she so
carelessly bypassed along the way. "Oh heek, not the
journals from the rooftop in Ae'gura too?!" Veronica had
studiously avoided that rooftop at all costs, lest
someone ask her a question about the kings and she would
have to admit she did not have the first
clue.
"To know the path...you must first
understand all."
Veronica tucks the book inside
the box. with resignation she mutters, "Fine, I'll read
it." Then as she heads for the squee's nest Yeesha puts up her hand
again.
"Only after you have
understanding..."
Veronica sputters, "That's
blackmail!" She never thought Yeesha would be cabable of
such a thing.
"That is...(she
smiles)...consequences." Then she slowly fades
away.
Veronica stands there for a moment,
thinking carefully. "I could have Kestryll give me the
Reader's Digest version. I'm sure he read
everything."
Yeesah reappears. "No telling of the
tales...you must read them yourself." She fades
away.
Veronica scowls. "I heard Frontmullet does
excellent summaries, I could..."
Yeesah
reappears, shakes her head no, then disappears
again.
Veronica stamps her foot in frustration.
"Drat!" She looks at the baby squee, sighs once and then
puts her hand on her Relto book and links
away.
Through the door
the group could hear what sounded like an
army.
"That isn't good," says
Speedy.
"What if the King wants a demonstration
from Merlin?" says Grassie.
"He'll show them,"
says FM.
"No, I can't. Theitris made me promise
before we left not to use magic," replies
Merlin.
"Well then we had better get out of here
before the King asks," says Dr. Warrell.
"But
how?" asks Merlin.
They start to
think.

Outside in the hall, Audrey had managed
to devour both Sir Sam and Sir Bob before the second
most powerful weapon of the Knights of Ni (besides the
word)...
Leonado, Donatello, Michaelango and Raphael all
drew their weapons and charged at the giant people
eating plant of doom...
Meanwhile inside the
cells.
"Uhh guys...don't we all still have
like..our Relto books?" FM suggested. "So we can all get
out that way?"

Professor T strode along the pathway,
followed by the long line of Daleks. As he neared the
honey-coloured stone building he paused to admire its
grandeur. A blue and white flag fluttered above the
pediment. He passed through the facade of classical
columns and climbed the sloping pathway that had been
laid over the steps. He reached the solid panelled
entrance door and turned the handle.
Locked!
"It's locked!" he said to Dalek Black 01.
Dalek Black 01 looked slightly irritated, his eye stalk
moving this way and that as he scanned the
door.
"Stand. Back," commanded the black
Dalek. "Dalek. Silver. Zero. One. ... Open. The.
Door."
Professor T and Dalek Black 01 stood
to one side as a silver Dalek approached. He scanned the
door and moved his ray gun a little. In incandescent
beam shot from the gun towards the door handle. There
was an explosion. When the smoke cleared, a section of
door, complete with handle, lay on the ground. The door
swung open. Dalek Black 01 turned to the
professor.

Elkae links in and heads straight for
the DISCO. Nobody seems to be around at the moment. So,
with list in hand, she heads down the aisles to gather
the supplies needed for MrD's cocoa
party.
That should do it.
She
leaves a note on the spindle and links home with the
supplies.

Professor T walked gingerly through the
open door, followed by his assistants. (Was it necessary
to destroy the door? he was wondering. The loud
explosion had been rather alarming.) They were in a
large, high-ceilinged room. A young woman sitting behind
a desk (a Ms Su Bofit, according to her name plate), a
bank of monitors in front of her, had turned towards
them, obviously startled at the explosion. Her mouth
opened at the sight that confronted her. She rose from
her desk, her chair scraping loudly against the floor.
She moved towards the open door, keeping as close to the
wall as she could, staring at the professor as she
passed. He shrugged a little guiltily. She ran from the
building. The vision of a small squirrel apparently in
command of an army of Daleks was one that would stay
with her for some time.
Kestryll strides up from sub-level
one. He stops in front of the counter and stares at
Grizz. There is a look of grim determination in his
bright green eyes. He seems to look more through Grizz,
than at him. Suddenly he whips around sending his
slightly reddish hair flying. It doesn't look like he's
groomed it today. He strides out into the hood and jerks
his head to the left. Then he whips his head to the
right, eliciting a slight 'pop' from his neck. His body
re-aligns with his head and he's off. Up the stairs and
straight into the Linking room, he slams his hand down
onto the Nexus book and is
gone.

Whilst our trepid
explorers were planning their escape from their quite
comfortable room where they were well fed that the
Knights of Ni had provided (...why were we escaping
again?), they had no idea of the battle being fought
outside their door and down the hall.
The Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles had managed to cut of all of
Audrey's tentacles, leaving the plant as just a big
mouth that would and could eat anything, including
several sets of weapons, and Michaelangelo (*sniff* poor
turtle). Leonardo, Raphael and Donatello had been
reduced to grabbing random objects off the floor and
throwing them at Audrey in the hope that it would stop
her.
Inside the room, a sudden Revelation stuck
FM..
"Wait! I thought Myst4 wasn't due out until
September!?" He cried, as he looked at the game box that
had just hit him in the head.
Realising he had a
copy of the next Myst game, he hurridly opened the box
to see what the disc looked like...and was disappointed
when all he found inside was a linking book. He dropped
the book on the ground and hugged the Revelation box
looking quite shattered...until the room suddenly tipped
very sharply on a 45 degree angle. The linking book slid
under the door and into the Leonardo's
foot.
After hopping up and down for several
seconds, Leonardo grabbed the book and threw it at
Audrey. By some random chance the book opened in mid-air
and the linking panel hit Audrey's tounge...the plant
vanished...
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
breathed a sign of relief and went back to their
sewers...
The leader of the Knights of Ni planned
on building a memorial to Sir Fred...after he had
figured out WHY his milk kept sliding off the table, and
why he kept feeling like he was leaning to the
left...
