Book 6: Resident Mad Scientist — Part II: Schlocktoberfest 2004


PETEY: *in narration* "The 'Jefe' is a Ystreben named Tem Phica, born into what used to be the royal House of Phica.  The royals lost political power three centuries ago in the general elections, and Tem Phica wants it back."

SCHLOCK: You know, this Tem guy sounds like a spoiled rich kid, grubbing for a better allowance.  How dangerous can he be?

TAGON: Look at the kind of things we'll do for money, Sergeant.

PETEY: *in narration* "Three hundred years might seem like a long time to hold a grudge, but it was only recently that House Phica began losing its economic power base."

PETEY: *in narration* "Tem is the first generation of Phicans actually expected to WORK for a living, and he never really took to that."

SCHLOCK: The nice thing about swimming in sewage is that you guys can fart in the tub and I can't even tell.
