Later at 32 Panepistimiou Street, Athens. . .

Britannica: Here it is everyone, the Ethnike Bibliotheke tes Hellados - the National Library of Greece!

La Machine (still in high-pitched squeeky voice): I thought we were going to the public library?

Brit: We were, but the National Library is a lot nicer and gets better funding. Plus I brought my Friends of International Libraries Everywhere membership card. As a Member of the F.I.L.E., I'm entitled to use the meeting room facilities of every international National Library service, once a year for free - with catering! :) Just watch the coffee, it's a lot stronger than what you are used too in the US. . .

Later, in the meeting room, as the JLR wait for their refreshments. . .

Ace: I can't believe you are going to trust Harpy!

Brit: Who said anything about trusting her? Look without midnightspectre & Glomad, our tracking abilities are severely limited. We need her skills to find Mr. Misinformation, She-Chant and that talking Polar Bear. Besides, I've read the JLR protocols! All we need is a shinny mirror with a bell, and Harpy will be a gentle as a canary. Once she calms down, she'll transform back into Cowgirl Jack. . . By the way, I would just like to point out that I had an intuitive feeling, that talking Polar Bear was evil. That's why I whacked him with the Britannerang :)

RM552 & Ace: [eh... i dunno... ] Yeah right!

Britannica: honest [gulp!] [who, me?]

RM552: Hey! I've got hightened senses damn it! I could track the villians down!

Brit: Have you seen the pollution out there RM552!! It's not healthy! Plus, I doubt you are at your peak, after that blow to the head from Chant. Can you photographically recall the Super Cat-fight between Cowgirl Jack and She-Chant? [izzat so?]

RM552: hmmm, let's see. . . ummmm...... no, not there.....maybe over.....nope. .. . how about. . . .agghhhhh. . . Darn that blow to the head! I CAN'T REMEMBER!! [AAAHHHH!!!] DAMN YOU CHAAAAANT!!!!

JLR: [sad]
