Under the ice
Once everybody has teleported back to the Antarctic community's main
tunnels, Lars dashes off. A few minutes later a large, very fluffy kitty appears. Lars: Hi, efurrybody. Dis is Fernando, him is da mayor of IceVillage. Fernando, dis is Francesca da Fierce, an dis is Rebecca, an Aed, an Morgana, an Ranger, an DaisyChan, an Iowna, an Cash. Dey all rescued usses! Fernando: Hihi, firiends. Fangu for bring dem home, We had been trying to fink of ways to get them home, but hadn't come up wif any ideas yet. Ms. Fierce, Lars says dat you flew da big catacopter. Is dat da Harri Roadcat logo I saw on da side? Francesca: Yep, dat is one of the late Harri Roadcat's fleet. We bringed it cuz it was big enough to carry a lot of kitties and a lot of supplies. We din't know of you guys was ok wif your food supplies, an we bringed some tools too. Aed: Fernando, I come from the Second World Community - we live in a realm under the earth and we have visited most of the known kitty communities. Our legends mention a community that lived under the ice and snow, but it also says that we lost contact many generations ago. Would that by any chance be your catmunity? Fernando: I fink so! Our history tells us about a time when we were free to leave this world of tunnels and caves and visit all over, but the ice tunnel that we passed through to get out of this area collapsed a furry long time ago. Our historians haf found what dey fink is da tunnel that was used, but no matter how much digging we do we never clear away enough ice. We has colcanic steam heat to keep our l iving quarters comfy, but when we try to run steam hoses to da collapsed tunnel da steam gets too cold to help by da time it gets to da ice wall. [Francesca disappears quietly] Did I hear one of youz talking about holding a party or somefing here? We duz haf a great ballroom dat we luv to use. Would it be big enuf for youz? [Moments later Francesca returns, dragging a couple of portable teleporters with her ] Fernando: Mz Fierce, what is doze fings? Francesca: Call me Francesca, please. Deze are teleporters. We can use dem to allow you to melt the collapsed ice out of your tunnel. Fernando: Really? Do dey get hot? Francesca: Nope. I'll show you. Please lead the way to shere your collapsed tunnel is. [ Fernando leads the assembled group deeper into the ice shelf. The air remains reasonably warm, as an overhead pipe seems to be radioating some heat. Several turns later, Fernando stops at the foot of a whole lot of fallen ice. Francesca whistels a little bit as she sets up and adjusts one of the portable 'porters then makes some notes.] Francesca: Ok, that end is done. Now please lead the way to your source of your steam. [ Fernando again leads teh group of kitties through what feels like miles of tunnels. As they walk, the kitties see side rooms with sleeping pads, rooms set up with kitten toys, workshops, some rooms with scientific equipment, a couple of machine shops, and other rooms with closed doors. They finally walk into a large room with a steamy atmosphere. Francesca see some pools of steaming water with kitties soaking in them, and near the center of the room a large pipe disapperas into the ice floor. The large pipe splits into several smaller pipes, one of which has a hose fitting. This pipe has a heavily insulated hose attached to it. Francesca set up the second portable 'porter just in front of the coiled-up hose. She makes a few adjustments and makes aa few more notes.] Francesca: Ok, Mister Mayor, we'z ready to go. I see some worker kittehs over there. Could you perhaps spare them for a little while? [Fernando whistles to attract the attention of the worker kittehs, then gestures for them to come over. ] Francesca: Hi! Could you please pick one end of dat hose and follow me? [The first worker kitty grabs the end of the hose. Francesca steps into the mouth of the 'porter. The worker kitteh looks surprised, but follows her. When he comes out the other side immediately in front of the collapsed ice wall he is startled. Francesca steps back through the porter, and when she emerges on the other side she signals to the other worker kitty to open the steam valve. As the valve is opened, everybody hears a startled meow from the first worker kitty. When Francesca steps back through the porter (with everybody tagging along behind), she sees the first worker kitty directing the steam hose at the collapsed ice wall, quickly melting the ice. Fernando opens a catellite phone and makes a brief call. Moments later a burly large kitty comes running up to the group.] Fernando: Miz - er, Francesca, dis is Angus. He's our chief engineer. [Francesca and Angus touch noses.' Angus: How is it that this rig is getting hot steam all the way over here? When we;ve tried this before the steam always cools before it travels this far. Francesca: Itz simple. We use dese teleporters. Da hose goes in da far side then comes out dis side, and when it gets here da steam has only travlled the distance from the source to the first 'porter, then distance from da second 'porter to the ice wall. Voila, hot steam! [Angus draws Francesca aside to talk about teleporters. ] Fernando: Wow, we might akchooly be able to use dat tunnel again soon - cool! While dey are working on dat, can I show all of you kitties around? |

I and my assistants have been poring over the archives. We have found tales from our antiquity that speak of Second World kitties communing with kitties from a land of ice and fire.

But a very long time ago, many, many generations ago, the passageway connecting our two worlds collapsed.

Our legends speak of regular trade wif kitties living in homes that aren't cut from the ice. But we also assumed these were just fantasies. This is too cool! [Fernando and FluffMuzzle sit down to talk and reestablish trade between their communities.

Sammy finally appears and meows loudly.] Sammy: Everybody, we'z laid out a banquet to celebrate deze communities getting in touch again. Up in da ballroom we'z set up a bunch of tables and benches and cushions, an FluffyKitz has set out a buffet of roast beast, grilled ear of sooven, grilled salmonfishies, duckbird, chicken, and a whole bunch of other goodies.

They will last for centuries. FluffMuzzle corners her to fill in some archives and they happily wander off discussing the mathmatics of it all as he jots notes down and measures things until he understands the proportions and can recreate them. Roscoe chuckles then sees a big tan and white male doggie next to him doing same as he watches them wander off. They turn to one another to greet when both of their tummies rumble. "I'm Cash, lets go eat!". "I'm Roscoe, this way!" as they follow their noses. -- |

Just for planning purposes, I assume this ballroom is internal to the blocked spot so not the one outside it that you can see the moon from? Or do they have a second one where you can do that? Being able to see the moon rise and set is not critical. Some places, it was 'felt' but not seen and worked fine. -- |

I'll revise to a clear ice top they can see though so they aren't all freezing (grin). WE can stage at the other spot (if diferent) and then move to the open one just like we've moved into/out of caves and such. Carol -- |

Carol Or several very inventive kitties could collaborate on a way to rig multiple teleporters to teleport the ice from the top of the enclosed room, giving it exposure to the sky, then 'port the ice cap back when the event is over. |
