The Walrus Files
– Chapter Two Well, I'll tell ya, we was thirsty. We'd just finished a long couple of months planting alien viruses onto the alien thing-a-ma-bobs that was stealing energy from us. Unfortunately, things didn't go as well as we'd planned. Marvin, my little green informant with the silly-looking brush on his helmet, was reporting that Crypto and his clones weren't dropping like flies. They weren't dropping like anything. Maybe a few sniffles but that was it. This is NOT good news. So we met up at Toocie's, our favorite watering hole, to refesh and strategize. Mondo, my doctor friend from the county morgue, was on his third drink before he was ready to pronounce what had happened. He believes that Crypto and his friends probably picked up some kinda' immunity from their repeated trips to Tattooine. So while they got the sniffles, they never "bought the big one". Woulda been nice for him to have figured this out a few weeks ago and saved us a whole lotta crawling around!! Anyway, we ordered another round and while we were waiting for my university friend to arrive, Marv was starting to complain about Penguins (again). Before he really got rolling, Reeb arrived with the drinks. Reeb's one of my best friends and also happens to be one of my best informants. He's been a pitchin' hooch at Toocie's nearly since it opened in May of 2000, the month my second divorce was final. Reeb's is a virtual legend in the area. He knows where all the ghosts can be found (and probably responsible for a couple, but that's another story). He can get ya the skinny on just about anyone - just one of the advantages to being the best bartender and bookie in town.  Anyway the, now angry, green man
continues to ramble on about the #$@# Penguins,
as he lovingly calls them. (He gets more 'colorful' after a
couple.)Apparently the little tuxedo'ed terrorists have been a pain in the Furon's keesters for eons. While they don't have opposable thumbs or great military skill, there are just a lot of them buggers. The "Furon's" have been Tripping over Penguins all over the galaxy and to say they irritate the aliens is an understatement. At this point in the story, Marv is now waving his little green arms and launches into Opus & Linux stories. Seems Opus is the Penguin's king or somethin'. He's got a big snozz and a love of herring. Their military leader, General Linux, likes to wear red hats or fedoras. (I was only half listening at this point as I tried to flag Reeb down for another drink.) Seems the quirky General is idolized by millions and somehow he's able to run their army on their old equipment (penguins are cheap), but they can't quite get their new stuff to work. Much like my car mechanic. Marvin, slurs on and starts telling questionable war stories about the "Fifth Sphenisciforme War". I couldn't tell if I got that right or Marv was just slurring. Apparently, the aliens kicked some Penguin booty and left many of their military officers with no option but to sell insurance. At this point I'm believing half of what greenie tells me. Soon he's mumbling something about a penguin singing Hari Krishna and I want to shoot myself. Fortunately, my university buddy, Lord K, walks in and interupts with his usual greeting: Ahoj! Páchnoucí jeden!. I respond with "Skilroy" for reasons that are a little...fuzzy. Guess it sounded like something you'd say in response. Lord K's is not a real "Lord" but I could never pronounce Ceolmhor, cialis, coal mine, or whatever his real name is. So... Lord K's a bonafide scientist at the local university.We'd met at an establishment down the street that has the pretty ladies. Anyway, he's doing a favor for me. I'd given him one of the alien energy-sucking thingies and had him look it over to see if there was any way we could use it. As usual, he didn't disappoint. Not only had he figured out this "nano" do-hickey and figured out how to make one, he managed to figure out how to reverse it. Lord K's pretty excited as he explains his new creation. I didn't understand half of it but apparently this "super-nano", as he calls it, runs on ink & graphite like the alien's device, but instead of draining our power it drains their energy and restores it to our power grid. As my secretary, Maddie, would say "cool beans!" So I take a closer look at Lord K's creation. It turns out it's a lot bigger than the alien thing I gave him but Lord says it's a "prototype" and, besides, its got a "supercharger" in it. (Finally, something he says I understand.) Once we find a spot for this supercharged "nano", the aliens aren't goin' to know what hit them! Just another day in the life of a Private...Eye. ******** The reverse-engineered, supercharged nano has been placed and can be found at the attached coordinates. A large pair of tweezers might be helpful in retrieving the log. To aid in the effort to defeat the Furon's, apply ink or graphite to the paper element and return to its charging location. If you come across any Penguins, don't be alarmed as they are busy trying to defeat the Furon's and eating herring. We hope you enjoy this cache as much as we did making it!
