The Cucumberoo brings another bag of holding appropriate for the psycat over. He also brings a collar with a tiny house built into the bottom of it for the accountant-mouse to live in. Why exactly he has these things ready and gives them away freely is a mystery of the universe.

"Cleo the Feline, you made quite the impressive dent in our composure field, and we apologise that we applied it to you, if we had known you were there we would have made sure to exclude you. However, as such we would like to extend an invitation to become a member of the Psi-corps, at the moment we could use a mind of your potency as I'm sure you can see. I would be honoured to show you around our headquarters to help you make your mind up if you want. You may bring 2 companions should you wish.

As to your question, it was another member of the Psi-corps, but not me personally, I believe possibly it might have been the Brain of Krull. She tends to be assigned to alert duty due to her projection range."

Marissa reached into the bag and pulled out... a strange clockwork fish made of brass. It appeared to be alive and not requiring water to live but flapped around helplessly.

*SOME TIME LATER, AT THE CATHEDRAL*

Vengeance strides up to the front of the Cathedral after a battle against the evil forces of Melded's bizarre public transport, which had involved a number of changes including a giant ladybird, a Da Vinci style helicopter, and, for some reason, a sledge pulled by aubergines.

The Cathedral is the biggest free-standing building that Vengeance has ever seen, and this for a man who has owned his fair share of massive secret complexes. It somewhat resembles what would happen if you took Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, multiplied it by the Taj Mahal, Notre Dame and an overgrown patch of brambles and had it be so massive that the stones of the first few floors had been compressed into crystals by the weight.

As Vengeance enters inside he discovers that the innards of the place are designed as as if was grown of great stone trees, and the floor was alive with a living mosaic which moved in radiant fractal patterns in brilliant colours spinning around a central hub in the centre of the room. Vengeance walked towards this hub cautiously, but even as he neared the centre point he suddenly began to grow dizzy until he could no longer distinguish anything... and then.... he was elsewhere.....
