“You’re such a geek.” Penny took a deep breath. “You know what I’d like? An enemy named Bob. Why do villains always have such weird names?” Huichang raised his hand to interject. “Perhaps on his planet, we are the ones with strange names.” Penny nodded. “Good point.” “There’s been no sign of him,” Wisdom said. “I’ve been monitoring the two dimensional gates we found, the one in Windsor, Canada, and the other in Thessaloniki, Greece. Nothing. But there may be other gates. We know the Orpheans can travel through mirrors into our world. For all we know, they’re moving Defksquar between our world and his. Defksquar also hasn’t approached my student, Josh, but we have to assume he’s still important to their plans.” Penny motioned once more for her aide. “There’s one last thing. Mr. Icke has resurfaced. He claims to have proof of the reptilian agenda. Sources tell us he has a body.” “Damn it!” Wisdom pounded the table. “I thought I had him killed.” They’re right here in New York, sequestered inside a mansion.

Perhaps it’s time we leave Mr. Icke alone. He was right, after all, about the reptilians. At least partially.” Wisdom leaned forward. “Exactly. Why do you think I want him dead? You think people will panic over Lemurians? Just imagine if they have proof of shapeshifting reptilians. On another note, I may have some good news.” “Formidable.” This was the representative from France, Jean-Yves Ledrec. “We could use some.
