All is still in the CSHQ. Various admins are quietly reading or writing, as Rio had exploded earlier about late updates and everyone is currently too afraid to initiate any conversation. The boss herself is taking a well-deserved nap.

Saph: *head shoots up at the now familiar burst of light in front of her* 

Rio: *mumbles in sleep and turns over*

Ember: *super-duper quiet whisper* Who is it this time? 

The admins nudge each other with renewed interest, watching as the light fades to reveal... Breezepelt, who lets out a screech of alarm and scratches Saph on the nose. Saph yells and scurries to the bathroom where the first aid kit lies, followed by a worried Animal. They proceed to stay out of the room until the ordeal is over.

Rio: *is jolted out of sleep* Huh? What's going on? 

Blue: *points at Breezepelt* Him. Looks like it's the 'Power of Three' series? 

Rio: Oh. Right. *Still drowsy from sleep*

Breezepelt: So this is where cats have been vanishing to? They told me all about it, but I didn't believe them... *ears flatten*

Sushi: I wonder if others are coming. *bends down to pat Breezepelt, who leaps away*

Dusky: Yeah, it'll be easier to tell which general timeline the cats are coming from.

Breezepelt: *forcing fur to lie flat* At least I know these twolegs are harmless. *mumbles*

A heartbeat later, another streak of light appears, this time revealing a very disorientated... Berrynose.

Berrynose: *wrinkles nose* What is that smell? It smells horrible in here.

Breezepelt: It's because you just came in.

Admins: *holds breath*

Leafy: To think that Berrynose still doesn't know the stench of twolegs even though the trap his tail was caught by must've reeked it. 

The admins watch as the two cats begin to hiss and spit at each other. Feather catches Breezepelt in mid air as the tom lunges at Berrynose. 

Ember: No fighting!

Feather too rushes to the bathroom, using an eye that got spat in as an excuse. 

Rio: Nooooo :( *watches as the two toms grapple each other* THEY'LL GET CAT FUR ALL OVER MY CARPET!

Dusky: Um, the carpet's already—

Ember: She doesn't want it worse than it already is.

 The remaining CatsofScience members do not bother to stop the two stuck-up cats claw each other's ear off. They did so for the rest of the afternoon.

FIVE HOURS LATER

Saph: *pokes head out from the corner* Is it over yet?

Rio: Do your updates.
