He points at Vaunea and mouths something. The other officer stifles a laugh."There now, Annie! Decorum!" says Swillwort, fending off his servant.Annie weeps from joy. With a loud honk, she blows her nose into her apron."The tale is convoluted and lengthy," says Swillwort, "Suffice to say that I engaged in an experiment to create a quasi-sentient spellbook that provided a direct telepathic link with its owner, permitting the instantaneous transfer of arcane information and skillsets over any distance. An unfortunate confluence of astrological and extraplanar phenomena resulted in the spontaneous generation of a demi-universe within the confines of my skull. Within this informational singularity, life evolved from the unconscious archetypal representations of my self-awareness. To whit, these rats you seem to have captured. It need not be said, I shall be more circumspect in my researches in the future--focusing on the theoretical, as opposed to practical, at least as it regards vorpal-edge arcanology.""Indeed! And have you to thank for it! And I hope you will forgive me for being a poor host. Perhaps we should rejoin in my den, continuing our discussion over aperitifs and hors de ouvres?""Dear me! No. Horrid beasts, those. I suggest you burn them before they regain awareness, such creatures can only cause mischief, if not outright harm."</blockquote>
