What the…? |
|
What’s this doing
here? |
| 24
Hours Later: |
|
|
So, anyway, I found
out there was a camera crew out here the night before, filming a new music
video, but no one has seen them since two nights ago. |
|
Has anyone checked
the tape? |
|
Yeah, sure, but no
one wants to do anything about it. That’s why we called you. The Sheriff
has heard about your unit and suggested we get your inputs. |
|
You’ll see for yourselves
why. |
|
|
|
|
|
Okay, just what I’d heard.
Now we have to contact the experts. |
|
So, Mulder, is there any
reason we’re investigating an obvious publicity stunt? You mean, other than Sweeps Week? |
|
Well, after our experience
with ‘Snap’ I’ve been searching for any Dragon-related events. And what have you found, since St. Patrick?” |
|
Actually, more than you
might imagine, Scully. AND I found a well-respected Dragon expert. |
|
Well respected by WHO,
Mulder? |
|
By Dragons, actually.
It’s proven rather critical in my work. |
|
Professor Elemen, you got
here quickly. |
|
Actually, my assistant
and I have been here for some time, examining evidence. I believe I know
what’s going on here. |
|
I don’t suppose you found
proof that it’s a hoax, or a celebrity tantrum or joke? |
|
No, most of those sort of
things tend to be scheduled with the press for maximum impact. I believe this was an accident. |
|
An accidental secluded-site
on-camera dragon attack? |
|
I found signs of a spell
casting for the summoning of a Greater Dragon. I believe the spell caster thought he was completely alone on the beach. |
|
The video crew was just
the first thing the Dragon Found outside of any protective circles. |
|
If that’s true, where would
the Dragon have gone, then? |
|
After the strain of the
summoning, and the exertion of the attack, the Dragon would have sought a nest of some sort - |
|
In order to rest, possibly
even sleep thru the night and until noon the next day. |
|
Why, yes. That is exactly
right, Agent Scully. How did you know? |
|
Easily enough. I've seen this
group's videos, and everyone gets sleepy after eating a big turkey. |
|
Fascinating. Well, there are
a few likely prospects along the coast road, here. I marked this map for our investigations. |
|
No, sir, we couldn’t let you
endanger yourself. My partner and I will search out the Dragon, and contact you when we find it. Well, if you think that’s best. |
|
Okay, Iniki, we have a large
sleeping flamethrower to catch. Right, mount up, and we’ll get ‘m. |
1 Mile South (The Last spot on the Professor’s Map): |
|
|
Well, well, well, the Master
said I should expect you. |
|
I need to see him, Cypher,
Switch will stay out here with you. |
|
The Master’s instructions,
exactly, Prof. In you go. |
|
So, Switch, baby, do you play
20 Questions? |
|
Professor Elemen, welcome.
I assume you are not here to congratulate me on my ascension to Dragon Mastery? |
|
Master? Either you lost control
of the lizard, or you meant for it to murder those mortals. Either way, you’re no more a Master than you are a Chippendale dancer. |
|
I AM a Master! And brother,
you WILL NOT stand in my way! Um, no discriminatory remark intended. |
|
<<Picard!>> |
|
GRRRRRR |
|
Hear that, babe? Looks like
the Master has a surprise for the Professor. |
|
You master ONE word of power
and set out to dominate the world? <<Janeway!>> << Sisco!>> << Kirk!>> |
|
SNARRLLL GROWF |
|
You couldn’t surprise the Professor
if you popped out of his pocket watch. |
|
GRRRRRR SNARRLLL GROWF |
|
GRRRRRR SNARRLLL GROWF |
|
SNARRLLL GROWF |
|
SNARRLLL GROWF |
|
SNARRLLL GROWF MWAWAWARRRRR "AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR-" |
|
Okay, this is the last spot.
Hope it’s as exciting as the others were. Thanks, Iniki, we’ll probably be right back. |
|
Well, another big empty space
with no dragons in it. Yeah, but do you smell something? Like a whole LOT of bar-b-que chicken? |
|
Hmm. Is that a disabled-capable
Humvee topping that dune over there? Never mind that, are those really, really big birds fading into the distance that way? |
|
And more importantly, Mulder.... |
|
….what did I just step in? Whoa. Someone here has a really big dog. |
|
Woof! |
