TAKE X (6-5-17: The End)

Oh, right, I needed to contact Blue. I'd completely blanked. Luckily, I can get his attention any time I want. Let's see...



He spins me this sob story about how he couldn't catch the intruders. When I ask him about that, he tells me that there were intruders, plural, and that one of them made off with the rock he was telling me about.

I tell him that I couldn't possibly care less about the stupid rock.

He tells me that he's sorry, and that it was just a cool rock. The altar it was sitting on reminded him a lot of the one in the sewers under the Church, he adds.

That gives me pause. I've no idea what that glowing stone on the altar under the Church is for, but it looks important enough--

I ask Blue, to double-check, if he's talking about a rock on an altar.

He says yes.



Stupid. Stupid! Of course it was important! I express my fury in a healthy manner and then ask Blue what happened to the rock.

He says he told me already - that one of the intruders took it. I ask him which one. He says he doesn't know.



I drop the connection with Blue and check in with the Miracle Men. They don't know either, but then, they're not working with too much in the brain department. All they can tell me is how proud they are that they were able to capture one of the intruders. When I point out that the intruder still got away later, they say that it's the principle of the thing that matters.

It's really not, but I don't want to get into an argument with these guys. It's like... doing something frustrating... with a frustrating thing.

I was going somewhere with that. Hm.



I need some time to think on all that. In the meantime... Let's see, what now?
