A minor problem was coming up with
a good reason for being there at mid-  
night, but I figured that by Halloween,
I’d be able to come up with something. 
     As I entered the Vivarium, I was  
walking fast, but by the time I got to 
the Oh Oh Room, I was trying not to    
run.                                   
     The secret door was closed and    
more than likely locked, but that voice
from the vent greeted me warmly none   
the less, “Even earlier then yesterday.
Very well-done Grasshopper.”           
     “The story,” I finally gasped and 
fell into one of the chairs.           
     “Get yourself a coffee, while I   
open the door.”                        
     I did that gladly, and a minute   
later was inside, and she began        
explaining who the pictures on the door
* were.                                    
     The top three, on the left, were  
Frankenstein and his two evil assis-   
tants. They were the day-crew.         
     The picture of a woman, after     
those three, was Amy. She was the      
night-crew lead, and the two pictures  
on the bottom left were her crew.      
     AmyStrange liked them much better 
than the day-crew. “They really are    
like night and day,” the Cat said      
laughing, and then suddenly stopped.   
     The other two pictures on the     
bottom right were from the military.   
One of them was that One-Star military 
guy.                                   
     “What about that woman with the   
Captain’s bars?”                       
     “What about her?”
