It’s time for the Initiation!

I brought the Roto0Rooter, & the 55 Gallon Drum of #3 Machine Oil!

They were out of Canola…

I’ll be fine as long as they got rid of the wombats.  
:smack: Shouldn’t have said that out loud.

Is that what those were?

Don’t worry about the wombats. The Monster Bread ate them just before it fell into the tank in the Squid Storage Room and merged with the Backup Squid.

I shoud warn you that the resultant body appears to be fruiting. We may want to wall up that side of the initiation chamber–the holes made by the 1920’s-style “Death Ray” and the various RoboCreatures are rather large.

Oh, and **Kythereia**? Mariah appears to be coming out of her shock. I think the combination of the Squck/RoboSquck incodent and the irruption of the Backup Squid into her ‘territory’ threw her for a loop. I honestly didn’t know squid were so territorial.

She’s visible in her tank again. Once she’s a bit more active, I may treat her with a goat.
