Ferret Boy: It's OK, I managed to free myself. Look what the explosion did to the hideout! Do you think the Evil Atheists (hack, hack, cough, spit) managed to find us and attempt to blow us up? Or was it that dodgy piece of tracking equipment you ordered last week from "Ace's Custom Hardware"? Say, where is that unit anyway? And where did the Mozumderizer go?

Ferret Boy: Is this part of our plan? What are we going to do next?

Will they help us root out the menace of the Evil Atheists (hack, hack, cough, spit) ? > PUBLIUS at [What is Publius' new plan? Will our hero recover from the disastrous blow dealt by the Evil Atheists (or maybe it was his tracking device)? And will the Mozumderizer ever be recovered?
