He had been invited to the order in an honorary capacity... He wasn't sure what that meant but the Black Egg weighed on his mind. No one had been allowed inside since it had tried to attack Veggetehbull... He shivered at the thought... How had it been able to move so strangely, it was solid one moment and like hot pitch the next... out of curiousity, Odysseus placed his hand on the console as he had seen the others do, a beam of light passed over his palm and an electronic noise confirmed his insufficient credentials to access the lab he punched up the viewer like Tilman had shown him, and there it lay in the lab, just where it had fallen, Just an unassuming piece of blackness.

He thought of his wife and Son, alone; except for the company of his most loyal servants, what would become of them if he did not return... He turned at a noise down the hall and saw the younger Nep peeking at him from around the corner. He grunted and turned in her direction, causing her to flee. He chuckled deeply and turned back to the viewer, confusion and concern overtook his face... The Egg was gone... He turned and began running to alert the others.
