BG looked over the side of the boat,
looking off into the moonlit distance that was not
obstructed by the thundercaps. What a sad day it had
been. Not only was all of the salmon gone, but so was
Cruiser! One of the early enthusists for this whole
expedition. The master of tanning, particularly the moon
tan. BG wiped away a tear. Well, she cannot let this
expedition slow down. Cruiser would not have wanted
that. Instead, she would rather come back and have to
take days to learn and understand everything that had
happen. Yes! The expediton must go on! BG, now
standing proudly, marches up to the navigation room,
where FM and TLG have been steering. "Boys, do we
have anything in sight?" asked BG. "Nothing besides
the storm clouds... but we have been getting an on and
off blip on the radar," said TLG. "Where?" asked
BG. "Here," pointed out FM and BG looked. "Ok,
steer her in that direction," said BG. "But that is
into the heart of the storm!" said TLG. "Can she
handle it?" asked FM. "Well, we need to learn it
somehow, now don't we!" said BG as she turned around and
headed out. FM and TLG looked at one another. "Well,
I hope no one gets seasick..." said FM as he changed the
coordinates. "Hey, if so, we don't have to clean it
up!" said TLG with a small chuckle.
Kestryll strolls into the Pub and
immediately asks Betty if there's any messages. She
hands him a small stack of envelopes and postcards. He
turns to Barry who hands him a long island and he goes
to take a seat. He idly sifts through the mail while
sipping his drink then finally looks up.
Hey,
squirrel, go easy on the Doc tonight. Betty, be a dear and get
that guy some of the good ointment out of the back. That
rash of his is starting to look nasty. Benny, would
you make sure that Viv gets these bills and this
postcard from Aunt Clare? Oh, and have her and Alex
swing by the Eggroom. The prof wants it cleared out and
GnV have opened up their cafe or whatever it
is. ^^^^ What? ^^^^ Oh, yes, just leave the
one table for coffee, tea, whatever for now. Excellent
idea, Benny. Anything else? ^^^ ** ^^**^ OH!
Right! Vivian was going to take over the catering. Alex
and Lynn have the Delivery business. You and Kieth are
here, and Barry and Betty get the
winery. ^^^*? Don't worry, Miss Jane is taking
care of all that. Okay? **! Peachy! You kids
have fun without me! Thanks for the
drink!
Satisfied
that his business endeavors are taken good care of, Kest
pays for a round for everyone in the Pub and heads out
for some sight-seeing before taking over as the Acting
Head of the Institution Hood. Somewhere, there is a
brilliant squirrel about to bang his head against the
wall for choosing Kestryll as his stand in...

The squirrel looks up at the
stranger, then at the dame.
"Next hand," says
Elkae.
Dusty watches in
silence.
"Any fours?"
The dame
slaps three cards on the table.
"Any
nines?"
"Go Fish. Gimme your
Queens."
The squirrel winces and hesitates
before sliding two cards across the
table.
"The name's Thietrix," said the
squirrel to the stranger. "My brother, Thietris, runs
this place. That's Dr. Knutsson, the easiest mark I've
come across in years. And you are?"

Elkae pulls her hand back from JD's
tight grip. She wonders why he still has a snorkle in
his mouth.
"The acid here is dangerous,
indeed. I've only recently returned from the dead after
succumbing to it. You haven't been in the water, have
you?" Concern blankets her face.

Odd thinks JD why ever would I have a
snorkle here he tosses the snorkel to one of the Bahro
who deftly catches it and dives in to a barrel of
ale.....
and yes I have been diving but of
course only with the proper protective
clothing....
Why ever would anyone jump in un
protected?....
I was told that a certain
professor might be of assistance in my
research.........

"Ah, you must mean Professor Thietris
Squirrel, the head of the Institution. Yes, yes. He
could help. He's the wisest among us. You may want to
speak with him tomorrow as he's about to embark on a
moving adventure."
JD removes his fins as he
listens.
"I'm just here for the laughs. I
don't actually DO anything at all," said
Elkae.
"So what's the Dalek doing here?" she asks
with skepticism.
Proud Member ~~~~~~~~~ There's no place like home (except the Institution) ~~~~~~~~~
Ah.... the Dalek that is the mystery is
it not perchance your professor can shed some light on
this........
Funny I know I left my fins back at
the lab along with the rest of my dive gear...... Oh
yess the bahro were wanting me to dive into a keg with
them..... I really must refrain.... I do have much work
to do....

Betty brings a Guiness to the poor
old man and chitters with a grin. If he understood
Bahroese, he'd know she said,
"Guiness is
good for you."
At the table in the corner, JD
continues his interrogation of Dr. Knutsson. Thietrix
begins to get impatient. He wants Elkae's
sevens.
"The best way is to leave a note on
his desk in the Kirel Classroom. He sleeps in the
drawer, so try not to disturb him. He needs his rest and
gets so little of it."

While dealing the next hand, Dr.
Knutsson asked Theitrix a personal question, "Do you
have a secret pal?"
