It appears Dr. Knutsson finally found
office space at the Institution.
She owned a
Tiffany window for many years but never had a place to
use it until now. She loved the window most because it
depicted a place that reminded her of some D'ni age
she'd never visited. Of course Dr. Elkae carefully
removed and preserved the D'ni glass, tagged it, and
took it to the artifact storeroom.

Veronica pulled over a crate to sit on,
searching through the stack of papers in front of her.
According to Chuckles, the cavern had been opened by the
DRC in 1987 and they knew that these papers were dated
long before that. She pulled a picture from her stack
and gasped. She held it out for Grizz to see. "Who does
that look like?" Grizz studied the picture carefully.
There was a young girl standing beside the great
stairway near the Palace Rotunda. There were several
people nearby, some wearing labcoats and still others
dressed in work boots and bright orange vests. Grizz
lifted his head and said, "Dr. Elkae
Knutsson!"
Veronica nodded her head. "Yes, that
is what I thought too. I have only met her a few times,
but she is so striking I would know her anywhere." She
continued looking through the photographs, holding
another one up in amazement. Grizz looked at her and
said, "Nica, what's the matter?"
She turned the
photograph around and showed him. It was a group
photograph. The older people in the photo were unknown
to her, but the rest, younger versions of all of them,
including Grizz himself. Grizz said in puzzlement, "I
don't remember ever coming here! Look, there is Chuckles
and Frontmullet. This looks like Stellaflora!" Veronica
took the picture and looked at it again. "Amazing! Here
is boatingirl and Chere!" She shook her head. "What the
heek does this
mean?!"

Nice looking
accommodation you've got there Elkae, I love the window.
Poor Cordelia doesn't have a window, in fact she doesn't
even really know where her office is
Grizz looked closely at the picture. He
took out a magnifying glass and studied it. He laid the
picture on the table, and pointed to a figure.
"Look," he said. "If that isn't Cordie, I'm
sadly mistaken. And there are so many more kids here
that look vaguely familiar. There is one that looks like
a young Ronda. And look there!!"
He pointed to
one small figure seated on its hindquarters on a low
window top. It had a long bushy tail, and appeared to be
looking down at... yes! A dog on the ground. A dog
that looked like Urudawg.
Grizz straightened up
slowly. He looked at Veronica, a look of wonder and
amazement coming into his eyes.
"Do you," he
said, "have any idea what this means? What the
implications of this photo are? Oh, there is so much we
don't know or understand, but here is undeniable proof
of something that is just stunning. We all, all of us
here in the Cavern seem to be in this picture, or have
very close relatives that were. And from a time before
the DRC!"
He looked at Veronica, and she looked
back at him, her eyes dark and
wide.

Elkae of the previously latent psychic
abilities suddenly feels her past is about to catch up
with her.
It's always nice to
see rollies at the Institution. Glad I could pass out a
couple today. For the record, my office exterior was
done using Stellaflora's base screenie () which he posted in the
hood pool ... I just did some tweaking. Kirel is
actually quite photogenic if you have the right tools to
work with.

Veronica looked through the rest of the
photos that were spread out on the table. Other
photographs had entire families in them. "Here is
Kestryll! It looks like his mother gave him a crew cut.
Oh he is not happy in this picture at all. Look at
Cruiser, what a cute little girl!"
She got to the
bottom of the stack and found this picture. "Oh Grizz,
could this be Thietris?"

Professor T was finding it hard to cope
without his trusty PA to organize the day-to-day running
of the Institution. He'd spotted his squirrel mug
standing next to that potted plant - mother-in-law's
tongue. It reminded him that in a few days' time he
would be travelling to the surface and actually staying
with the m-i-l for some time.
He needed not only
a PA to stand in for Cordelia while she was away on her
cruise, but someone to stand in for him while he
was away. He read through Kestryll's note again. Hmmm.
He seems keen enough. Would he be able to cope with the
demands of being Acting Head of the Institution during
his absence? He wrote a note to Kestryll to offer him
the position and delivered it to the
Eggroom.
Kestryll comes bounding into
Thietris' office with a big grin on his
face.
Professor Thietris? There you are! I'd
love to take over for you! I know the perfect person to
handle Cordelia's job while she's away as
well.
No, not Veronica. She's got enough to do
right now... I was thinking Doctor Elkae! She'll be
perfect! Don't you worry! Between the two of us, this
Hood of yours will be in very capable hands!
