Ashens and the Quest for the Gamechild Page #7

Who would be following us?

A right pain in my arse.

On the count of three, we make a run for it.

Wait, one, two and three?

Or, one, two... and-

Just run!

I can't run, I've got asthma!

Who was that?!

I'll tell you later. Let's go.

Stuart? Stuart.

Where are we?

It'd be nice to be included once in a while.

Read this.

"The Oracle Computer"... What is it?

It's something that just happens to be in this very building.

What is this place?

It's a library.

A library?! Wow!

Stuart.

Hi, Marian.

It's been a while.

Yeah... Yeah, sorry about that... I've been busy.

Hmm... Let me guess.

You've been busy with your "secret missions", that "must be undertaken alone."?

Or is it "I'm an island!"? Or... I've got one for you...

"I'm too stupid to know when I've got a really good thing going on!"?

Uh, yeah... Something like that.

This is Geoff.

Have you met Geoff?

Hello!

Hello Geoff.

This is really awkward!

Marian, I said I'm sorry.

Is there any chance we can get back into the archives?

Not a chance!

You know you're not allowed back there.

Please?

Plus, they've just installed a new security system.

It'd be the last time. I promise.

Why do you keep coming back here, Stuart?

Yeah! Why do you keep on coming back here?!

I don't understand you.

Fine, but don't let anyone see you.

Thanks Marian, I owe you one.

You owe me more than one!

Stuart, what was all that about?

It's a long story.

What's with all the big secrets?!

Look, we went out on a couple of dates, but you know, my life's very complicated so umm...

Stuart, life is only as complicated as you make it.

Yes... Thanks Socrates!

Come on.

You know, Stuart, I really like it back here.

Yeah, I like to think of it as the bowels of the library.

This would be the lower intestine.

Ah, well if this is the lower intestine, what does that make us?

Euuuurgh!

Let's go.

I have no memory of this place!!!

Oh, we're not lost are we?!

Oh, no, it's just down here.

Sorry, I don't know what I was thinking then.

I don't know where we are.

Maybe we should follow this sign.

It's got to be through here somewhere.

Hey, Geoff...

Help us with this.

Careful...

Oh, a door!

Yeah, a locked door...

Hang on, I can take care of this...

No, I can't, it's magnetically sealed.

There's got to be a trigger around here somewhere.

Well, what does the trigger look like?

I'll know it when I see it.

Well, this shouldn't be here.

I reckon these are musical notes.

Thank you, Professor.

Something happened!

That's good, Stuart...

I don't think we have much time though.

Argh!

Umm...

Oh God, right... Uhh...

That's it!

Oh, I wish I paid more attention in piano lessons.

Uhh...

There's no such note as "H"!
