Garantia and Steve are on Project Bronze, which basically entails transporting a rare majesty (the Bronze Majesty) to a new location. It’s a long, boring mission because they’re taking a long, complicated route (to throw off any possible followers) and are all incognito-style. After a tough five-day trip through the Torti Desert, a dangerous desert that few go into because it’s cursed, they arrive at a village and decide to stop and take a long rest there.
On the fourth day there, Steve and Garantia overhear two people (Jan and Shawn) speaking to each other.
Jan: I think it sounds interesting. No one knows what it is? Shawn: No, no one. Well, no one’s really seen it, per se, but... Jan: If it didn’t exist, why would there be so much talk about it? Shawn: Exactly. Just imagine what it could do... Jan: Yeah...I bet you could make something really cool from that particular majesty...
Steve and Garantia walk up to Jan and Shawn, and Garantia joins in the conversation.
Garantia: Excuse me, did you say “majesty”? Jan: I sure did, miss. We were talking about the Strange Majesty. Garantia: The Strange Majesty? Jan: Why, haven’t you heard? Tell her about it, Shawn. Shawn: Okay...a group of traveling salesmen went through the Torti Desert not long ago... Jan: I don’t know why; I’d never go near the place. It’s cursed, you know. Shawn: Well, nothing bad happened to them. Anyway, one of them saw a strange brown thing. He’s says it looked like a majesty, but not like any majesty he’d ever seen before. It was Z-shaped or something like that. There’s no Z-shaped majesties, so folks have started calling it the Strange Majesty. Steve: Woah, that sounds interesting. Jan: Oh, it is. Everyone’s talking about it. I wonder what the Strange Majesty does, or what it is if it’s not a majesty. Shawn: Well, maybe somebody will go out into the Torti Desert to find it. Jan: As if! Steve: What do you mean, as if? Jan: It’s cursed! Garantia: Oh, yeah...I forgot about that. Jan: Well, you shouldn’t! The ghost of Charles Argunt haunts it! Garantia: Charles Argunt? Jan: Yeah, he was the mayor of this town, a long, long time ago. There was a problem with desert wolves attacking the town. Steve: Desert wolves? Jan: You know, wolves that come from the desert. Steve: We didn’t see any- Garantia: (nudging Steve to silence him) So what happened? Jan: Well, the wolves had kidnapped a little boy and taken him to the desert, and Charles Argunt, being the mayor, went to rescue him. He went into the desert, and two days later, he came back with the dead body of the boy. Charles was extremely upset because he couldn’t save the boy. He never told anyone what happened in the desert. Steve: Never? Shawn: Well, he died two days after coming back with the boy. A very strange death, the doctor said. No one could figure out how or why he died. Jan: And they say his ghost still haunts the Torti Desert, guarding the secret of what happened there, or maybe trying to keep everyone away, to protect them from the evils within. Steve: Like the desert wolves? Jan: No, no one ever heard from the wolves again, strangely. But the desert is haunted, believe me! Shawn: Woah, look at the time! We’re late, Jan, we’d better go. Kewpie’ll be waiting for us. Jan: Okay, let’s hurry.
Jan and Shawn leave.
Steve: Hey, well, that was interesting. I didn’t know the desert was haunted. Garantia: It’s not haunted. We got through it just fine without seeing any ghosts. Steve: Well, uh, maybe the ghost was on vacation or something when we were there. Garantia: That’s ridiculous, Steve! Ghosts don’t go on vacation! Steve: Yeah, you’re probably right. I could use a vacation, though. I should go on vacation now. Garantia: You’re too lazy, Steve! That’s why I’m a better Gate Guardian than you! Steve: Yeah, uh huh, whatever you say. Garantia: Besides, that’s not important. Did you hear about the Strange Majesty? Steve: Yeah, that sounds interesting. Garantia: Doesn’t that seem strange to you? Considering we’re on “Project Bronze”? Steve: I don’t follow. Garantia: We go through the Torti desert with the Bronze Majesty, and four days later someone is seeing majesties in the desert? Majesties that sound like the Bronze Majesty? Steve: Yeah, well, it’s not. I’ve been taking good care of the Bronze Majesty. Garantia: Really. Where is it? Steve: It’s in a bag that I keep inside a pocket on the inside of my coat at all times. Here, I’ll show you (Steve opens his coat and takes out the bag) Uh oh. Garantia: What? Steve: It’s empty. I must have, uh, dropped the Bronze Majesty somewhere. Garantia: STEVE, YOU IDIOT!!! NOW WE HAVE TO GO BACK AND FIND IT BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE DOES! Steve: Well, uh, at least we know where it is, in the desert. Garantia: Big help! It’s a giant desert! Steve: Well, uh, we should, like, go as soon as possible. Garantia: You think? Get your stuff ready; we’re leaving NOW before I rip your head off for being so stupid. Steve: I’m not stupid; I was just uh, too tired to check the bag until now. Garantia: Lazy, stupid, whatever! We’re going! Steve: Aw, man, why does this have to happen now? I was going to go on vacation!
They get their stuff and reenter the Torti desert. After searching for a while...
Garantia: This is stupid. Where are we supposed to look? Steve: Yeah, this stinks. Garantia: Well it’s YOUR FAULT! Steve: Hey, I said I was sorry! Garantia: Aw, shut up and help me look for it! Steve: Wait, is that it? (points to something off in the distance) Garantia: It could be... (they get closer) I think it is! No, it definitely is! Hurry up and help me get it! (they run towards it) Steve: Why-are-we-rushing? There’s-no-one-around. Garantia: Don’t-be-so-lazy-and-hurry-up! (they eventually make it to the majesty) That’s it, all right! Thank goodness! Your mess-up didn’t result in total disaster for once! Steve: Hey, good news. (Steve steps forward and the ground starts to rumble) Hey, what’s going on? Garantia: CIMA! They must have heard about the majesty being here too, so now they’re trying to get it! Steve: Really? CIMA want the Bronze Majesty? Garantia: Well, DUH! Why else would we transport it so secretly? Steve: Oh, yeah. Garantia: Just get the majesty already!
Steve takes another step forward. A five-foot-wide hole surrounding the Bronze Majesty appears. Steve and Garantia fall in, and the ground replaces itself above them. They wake up in a dark, long rectangular room.
Garantia: What happened? Did you get the majesty? Steve: No, sorry. I fell before I could reach it. Garantia: I fell, too. It was a trap. Where are we? Steve: I don’t know. Some sort of CIMA lair or something? The Gate World? Garantia: How should I know where we are? We’re – wait, I think someone’s coming.
A human-shaped figure walks towards Steve and Garantia. It’s...

Dran! Dran was having a really good day. A few months ago, he had been assigned to Rare Majesties, Section C, a.k.a. finding-the-annoying-but-rather-useful-things-before-the-humans-did-Section. His performance had been dismal at best until THIS showed up. The Bronze Majesty. Essential in powering the latest CIMA machines. It was finally HIS! Never mind that he had found it by accident. He could always make up some story about a fierce battle in which he barely escaped with his life. For now, it was time to rub these humans' faces in it.
Dran: Welcome, honored guests! Please, sit down! Make yourselves comfortable! Garantia: Yeah right! You've probably boobytrapped the chairs! Steve: Hey! Real down feathers! See? (pokes seat) Garantia: (grumbles, then sits) Dran: Now, I understand that you are searching for something, correct? Steve: Yeah! It's this thing called the Bronze Majesty and it's Z-shaped and- Garantia: Steve! Dran: It's all right. I already know exactly what you want. This shabby thing? (Snaps fingers. Bronze Majesty appears) Garantia: Hey! That's it! Dran: Yes. Now, you want this Majesty and I want a little peace and quiet. What do you say to a trade? Garantia: Sounds a little suspicious to me. What do you think Steve? Steve: (already shaking Dran's hand) You've got yourself a deal! Garantia: Steve!! Steve: Hey, chill out. We've got the Majesty. Garantia: ... Dran: Alright. Now that we have 'shaken hands' in your human custom of sealing bargains, now you must do one of MY customs. Garantia: What is it? Dran: Here. (Snaps fingers. Quarters appear) I'm quite fond of these little things. If you flip it and catch it heads up, then our bargain is complete. Garantia: I don't know...There's got to be a trick somewhere... Steve: (scoffs) You're too cautious. (reaches for quarter) Dran: (hits Steve's hand) I'm sorry, but you must take your quarters and flip them at the same time. Garantia: I knew it! Steve: Oh, come on, Garantia! If this guy's telling the truth, we could skip this whole embarrasment during debriefing! Garantia: Well...I guess. Dran: Right! Here you go!
Steve and Garantia take the quarters and disappear, but not before hearing Dran's voice one last time: Dran: FOOLS! Did you think I'd actually give up something so powerful for an afternoon nap? Tell you what: I've got a big heart and I feel a little sad for you two. If you make it through my mazes, you'll get to look at it one last time!
Watching the two humans argue, mostly the girl yelling at the guy, was most delicious. Dran: It's always wonderful when these games start. Garm: Just don't lose sight of the goal, Dran. Remember what happened to S- Dran: I REMEMBER!!! (sighs) It won't happen to me. I swear it. Gram: (raises eyeborws) Hmm...

Garantia: Well, this stinks! Steve: It's not that bad. Garantia: Are you in an extra-stupid mood today? CIMA's gotten ahold of the Bronze Majesty! There's no telling what they'll do with it! Steve: Uh, maybe the CIMA dude we met will use it for a decoration or something. Isn't it supposed to be that CIMA just wants these so we can't use them, not that they're using them for something? Garantia: What things? Steve: The Rare Majesties. Garantia: I don't KNOW! That's not important right now! In case you haven't noticed, we're in a CIMA dungeon! Steve: So we'll just have to go through it. No biggie. We've been through dungeons before. Garantia: True...but still, we shouldn't be here! It's all your fault for losing the Bronze Majesty! Steve: Yeah, yeah, I know. So let's get going on the dungeon, huh? Garantia: Oh, don't try to make it seem like you're all brave and ready to fight CIMA while I'm not. I'm going to rip apart any CIMA we meet in here. Steve: I wasn't saying you're not ready to fight CIMA. Garantia: You know it! I'm always ready to fight CIMA! I'm going to lay all the CIMA in here to waste until we get the Bronze Majesty back! Steve: That's the spirit! Garantia: And then I'm going to put you in the hospital for being so stupid and losing the Bronze Majesty. Steve: Uh... Garantia: Come on, let's go!
Steve and Garantia walk down this room. It ends up branching into two different paths. Each path has a shimmery protective barrier, the top path one is blue and has the male symbol on it, while the bottom on is pink and has the female symbol on it. Each path leads to a set of stairs.
Steve: Uh oh. Gender barriers! Garantia: What? Steve: I can only go through the male one, and you can only go through the female one. Garantia: Well, duh! Keep going!
Garantia goes through the bottom (female) barrier, while Steve goes through the top (male) barrier. As soon as they do so, the two barriers switch places, so the top is now female and the bottom is now male.
Steve: Dang! We're trapped! Garantia: Tell me something I don't know, Steve! Steve: Uh...I think your ponytail is cute. Garantia: Thanks, I think your ponytail is cute, too. Steve: Really? Garantia: NO! Steve: Okay, Garantia, here's what's up. I'm getting kind of bored of you being mean to me, so I'm going to gone on with the dungeon and when we catch up again, you're going to be nicer, okay? Garantia: Since when do you call the shots around here, bub? Steve: No, I meant that you'll be in a better mood when we join up again, because fighting CIMA puts you in a good mood. Garantia: You mean if we join up again. I don't want to have to come and save you from any CIMA! Steve: Don't worry; you won't have to! I'll be in tip-top Gate Guardian shape from now on! I'm not going to make any mistakes by being lazy, no sir! Garantia: That's ma'am. Steve: No ma'am! Garantia: ...I'll believe it when I see it. And I'm not going to be around to see it.
Garantia goes down the stairs on her path.
Steve: Hey, she's right! I could slack off, and she'd never know! Naw...I'd better try my hardest to protect everyone and whatever.
Steve goes down the stairs on his path.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, back at the town where the two gate guardians were when they heard about the majesty:
Artimus: ...and then I resonated with two blue majesties and made this!
Artimus pulls out a Potion A and presents it to her friend, Shawn.
Shawn: Speaking of majesties, have you heard about the Strange Majesty? Artimus: Yeah, who hasn't? Shawn: Well, I met some kids the other day who apparently wanted to go look for it! Artimus: Oh really? In the desert? Shawn: Yup. I bet they'll be real heroes if they can find it, eh, Artimus? Artimus: Hmph, I don't think that's going to happen. (Because I'm going to get it before anyone does. I refuse to become lower than anyone)
That night, Artimus headed out into the desert. She went in about the same direction the Gate Guardians went, but a bit a ways off near an oasis that seemed to be shimmering with greens and blues.
Artimus: Ah, might as well get a drink while I'm here... Hmm, the water looks kinda weird... Wait, is this water at all? (Someone's voice): Who are you and what are you doing here? Artimus: GAAH!
In her surprise, Artimus falls into the oasis, which actually happens to be a CIMA Gate.
Alpha (the owner of the voice): Shoot. Ah well, this will certainly not be her lucky day.
Alpha proceeds to enter the Gate and closes it behind him.

meanwhile, in the west of the village
Cardima: Where are they?
Alfiss : Hmm? Where are who?
Cardima: Well, the Gate Guardians ofcourse!
Alfiss: Oh! You mean the two with ponytalis?
Cardima: WHO ELSE?!
Alfiss: Umm... they um... I saw them walk to the desert again.
Cardima: Yeah, right. What are we waiting for? We should follow them!
Alfiss: Ho ho ho! YOU are going to follow them! Not me!
Cardima: What do you mean with that?
Alfiss: Well, I am going to ...
Alfiss puts his hands in the air
Alfiss: Wait! This is NOT a good place for this!
Alfiss putted his hands down
Cardima: Oooh! That could be mine idea!
Alfiss and Cardima walked further to the west, to a quieter place
Alfiss: Hmm. Alright.
Alfiss rised his hands again
Alfiss: And now-
a man came to Alfiss and ticked on his back
Man: - Hello can I ask you something?
Alfiss: WAAACK!
Cardima: And this is what you call "a quieter place "?!
Alfiss: Uh... would ypu please go away? We are eh... preparing a circus show! .... yeah a circus show!
Man: I want to know what the-
Cardima: - %@#$@&! *holds a fist and is ready to punch the man*
Man: Uh-oh!
the man ran away
Alfiss: *sighs* We'll just do it another time! I'm too stressed to do it now!
Alfiss teleported away
Cardima: (Oh man. Nothing is going good today!)
Cardima teleported away
Alfiss and Cardima arrived in Dran's dungeon, Alfiss in the room with Garantia, and Cardima in the room with Steve

Steve: (notices Cardima) Woah! Fight time so soon? But I've only just started getting through the dungeon...oh, no, wait, that's cool. Less work for me. So...uh...what's up, Miss CIMA?
---
Garantia: (notices Alfiss) Rrr...great. Time to kill some CIMA. Get ready to die, you freaky-haired loser! I'm coming for you! No CIMA shall escape the axe of Garantia!

Dran and Garm have been watching Steve's and Garantia's progress when Alfiss and Cardima teleport in.
Dran: At least they're earning their pay.
Garm: You don't pay us...
Dran: I give you holidays, don't I?
Garm: ...
Dran: Anyway, I detect another lifeform, human, entering our lair. Alpha's taking care of it but I want you to assist him.
Garm: Sir. (teleports away)
Dran: (goes back to Steve and Garantia) I don't want Steve and Garantia to lose because then I won't get a specimen...But Alfiss and Cardima will be angry if they lose...(sighs) I'll just watch these fights and stop them right before anybody dies.
Drake: Reporting sir.
Dran: Yes?
Drake: The new human has been safely placed inside a dungeon by Alpha's design.
Dran: Good. For the time being, you have full builder CIMA powers equal with Alfiss and Cardima's.

*Artimus finds herself in a dark dungeon with columns blocking the exit. The dungeon has smooth, black walls and burning torches that look like skulls.*
Artimus: Oh great. Now where am I? Don't tell me that that oasis was a-
*Alpha teleports into the room*
Alpha: CIMA Gate?
Artimus: *Gets whip* Who are you supposed to be, Red-eyes?
Alpha: My name is Alpha. Do not call me otherwise. I can be quite dangerous, you know.
Artimus: Yeah? How so? Is your grey hair going to turn into some kind of snake and eat me alive?
Alpha: No, like this!
*Alpha raises a hand, and four CIMA nests appear; one in each corner of the room*
Alpha: Oh, and my hair is silver, thank you. I'll be waiting at the end of the dungeon, if you so happen to reach it with that black cloud I'm putting over your head.
Artimus: ...?
Alpha: In other words, as long as you're in my dungeon, your luck becomes bad. *teleports out*
Artimus: ...Great.
*CIMA start to appear from the nests, mostly just a few Grabions or Vanices. Once Artimus kills one from each nest (which didn't take too long because she can attack quickly), the columns lower. Before she goes into the next room, she picks up the red and white majesties that came from the defeated CIMA monsters.*

by Alfiss
Alfiss: Hey! Who said you're gonna fight me?!
Alfiss lets a CIMA appear, it looked like a very big orange slimy thing
Alfiss: Let's see if you are strong enough to defeat my uh... how shall I call this CIMA.... Hmm ..... Dimmy!
The very big orange slime, now known as Dimmy, slowly moves toward Garantia
Alfiss: By the way, nobody calls me a "freaky-haired loser"!!!!!! See ya... if you survive it! Hahahahahahaha....ha!
Alfiss teleported away

*Artimus heads through several corridors and pathways until she reaches a dead end: a deep, probably bottemless pit where part of the hall should be. The other side can be seen in the distance.*
Artimus: Hmm... So the weirdo CIMA is waiting for me, but I am unable to get to him. This doesn't make any sen-
*Suddenly, Artimus notices a switch on the far end of the room*
Artimus: Huh, this probably makes a bridge or something. *hits the switch with her whip*
*The switch changes its color, and the ground beneath Artimus shifts, and breaks free from the rest of the hallway*
Artimus: Wha!? Woah! Moving, floating platforms?
*As she rides on the small, hovering block, which traveled in no clear direction, a flying CIMA attacks from above. Unable to react, Artimus is hit*
Artimus: Gahh! Get out of here! *attacks the CIMA, who seems to be trying to knock her off of the block and into the pit*
Artimus: Alright, ya know what? *begins to charge up for a special attack. Stars fly around her whip and change from blue to red to gold. Once they become gold, at full speed, Artimus lashes her whip with a blast of energy that cuts through the air. And the CIMA, too.*
*The platform reaches its destination on the opposite side*
Alpha's voice: ...Still alive? Well, you're not too far from your doom anyway. And don't think you will be able to simply walk in with grace, either.
Artimus: ... All this trouble becuase I fell into his pond.
*To heal her wounds, Artimus uses her Potion A. She then moves on to a path that splits in two directions.*
Artimus: Huh... Well, CIMA-boy's voice came from this way. I'll bet he put traps on the other side, so... *Heads down the path where Alpha's voice came from and soon makes it to a room with a tall, metal door.*
*She tries to open the door, but it doesn't budge*
Artimus: What!? What kind of place is this? Doors that don't open, floors that move, grey-haired guys with magical powers...
Alpha's voice: Never been to the CIMA World, have you?
Artimus: Huh? Oh, yeah, I haven't.
Alpha's voice: Puts you at quite the disadvantage, don't you think?
Artimus: Shut up. I'm at no one's disadvantage.
Alpha's voice: Heh. ...Although... If she's never been here... She might not know about the...
Artimus: The what?
*Artimus gets no response, so she heads back the other way down the other path. Like she expected, there was a trap. A long bed of spikes on the floor that sprang up every 5 seconds*
Artimus: Looks painful. I just have to time it right and...
*As soon as the spikes fall back down, Artimus runs over the spike bed and barely made it accross as the silvery needles came back up.*
Artimus: Oh, wonderful, now I'm at a dead end.
*But, upon closeer inspection, a glistening object is seen on the floor. Artimus picks it up and smiles as she places the door key into her pocket*
--Meanwhile, in Alpha's chamber--
Alpha: She's comming back. Found the key, probably. Oh well. If she expects an easy way out of this situation...
*Another CIMA teleports in*
Alpha: ...? Garm, what are you-
*The door opens, and Artimus enters*
Artimus: Something you wanted to talk about that I had to go through so much trouble for?
Alpha: ...! Perhaps...
Artimus: What?
Alpha: No, nevermind. Garm, I've got this situation under control.
*Alpha raises his hand, and a gaint CIMA appears. Like a treasure box with four legs*
Alpha: Human, meet my Mimic. Garm, lets go watch this from a safe viewpoint. And maybe you can tell me what you're doing here.

Garm and Alpha teleport away while the battle between Alpha and the Mimic begins.
Garm: There's not really a reason for me to not be here, is there Alpha? I know you have this under control but Dran wants no mistakes. This girl is not part of the plan; as such he has ordered me to make sure you finish this nuisance quickly. The real prize is the other two, after all. (talks loud enough for Artimus to hear) She's worth nothing to us and hardly has any fighting ability anyway. (lowers voice again) Then again, Alpha, I've never seen any human wield that strange weapon before. Do you think your Mimic can stand up to it?
Meanwhile
Dran: Hmph. At least Alfiss had the brains to let some other thing fight for him. (looks again) Even if that human is beating it.
Drake: Sir!
Dran: Yes, Drake?
Drake: Sir, I was wondering, did you create any more dungeon after those rooms those humans are currently in?
Dran: No I didn't, Drake. And thank you for bringing that up. I must prepare my creature for them. They'll not survive. You can watch and learn a few techniques, Drake. It'll do you good.
Drake: Thank you, sir.

*Artimus fights the Mimic using charged attacks from her whip to delfect projectiles that it spits out. About midway through the fight, she hears Garm speaking with Alpha*
Garm: She's worth nothing to us and hardly has any fighting ability anyway.
Artimus: What!? *deflects a projectile at the Mimic*
Artimus: Worth nothing!? What is it they want, the Strange Majesty or something? Well I'll find it, and when they come for it... *delfects another projectile and dodges a fireball* I'll show them fighting ability that they've never seen before!

Alfiss: By the way, nobody calls me a "freaky-haired loser"!!!!!! See ya... if you survive it! Hahahahahahaha....ha!
Alfiss teleported away
Garantia: Freaky-haired loser! I'll get you! After killing this Dimmy of yours!
Dimmy moves slowly towards Garantia. She swings her axe at Dimmy, slicing off a portion of it. The sliced off portion becomes a mini-Dimmy. She slices it in half, and two halves become bi-mini-Dimmys.
Garantia: Great! Slicing it up doesn't kill it! This is so unfair! I knew I should have brought a club or something!
The bi-mini-Dimmys join together again to become a mini-Dimmy.
Garantia: I'll just have to cut it into smaller pieces!
Garantia starts to work at cutting Dimmy into small pieces. Eventually, if you cut off a small enough piece, it'll stop moving and just lie there. But Garantia is having a hard time because the various Dimmys are joining together, undoing her hard work in slicing them. And some of them are joining the small, unmoving pieces to themselves to bring them back into the battle. Just when it seems she's almost done, one of the mini-Dimmys joins up with abou half of the small, unmoving pieces.
Garantia: Argh! It seems like this will never have an end!

--At the battlefield with Mimic and Artimus--
Artimus: Ok, lets get this over with! *deflects another projectile and it hits the mimic*
*The mimic then runs at Artimus, but she gets out of the way in time*
--In the room with Alpha and Garm--
Alpha: Garm, I make no promises about my creations. As nice as it would be if Mimic kills her... well, I would much rather do the job myself. Besides, I'd like to know what I'm up against. Once I break through the seal that is her weakness, I'll be much able to bring her to doom.
--Battlefield--
*Artimus deals the final blow on the Mimic, and an explosion is created*
--Room with Alpha and Garm--
*The two hear the exlposion*
Alpha: This has been a good chat. If you'll excuse me, I have things I need to do.
*Alpha teleports out of the room*
--Battlefield--
Artimus: I won. Good.
*Alpha appears*
Artimus: You! I've had it with your tricks, tell me what's going on here!
Alpha: My, aren't we infuriated.
Artimus: I take it no one has ever said you were incompitent!?
Alpha: No one has ever dared to stand up against a bad omen.
Artimus: I killed your pet. Does that count?
Alpha: I can't say so. I have lots of... "pets"
Artimus: Gah! Forget this, you're changing the subject! Answer my question!
Alpha: The only subject I change is that of luck. ...From good, to bad.
Artimus: I'll change your subject with my whip if you keep this up!
Alpha: Whip? Very well, I'm looking forward to it. In the meantime, keep yourself busy with trying to find a way out. I'll ask a friend of mine to build a dungeon for you. You and two other humans, anyway. ... *smiles evily and teleports out*
--In a room with Dran--
Alpha: Pardon, Dran. I have something to ask. Tell this to who is going to make the next dungeon for the first two humans: I ask that you put the one I was assingned to with them. By this, though, I mean that she could be used as some kind of bait to keep up their hope. Or... were you going to do the chamber this time?

--Room with Dran and Alpha--
Dran: (thinks about it) Very well. I'll have Alfiss use one of his dungeons. But I've got a more interesting idea...We'll pit your human against this Steve fellow. They'll each think the other is CIMA. The results should be quite entertaining to say the least. If Garantia makes through Dimmy in one piece, she can a front row seat. (aside to Drake) I've lost contact with Cardima for some reason. Go find out what she's doing and report back.
Drake: Sir. (teleports away)
Dran: You can go take care of specifics, Alpha. If you want, I'll assign Garm elsewhere. His self-assured prattle can be overbearing sometimes. In any case, the female I captured needs a little help moving on. (Snaps fingers. Torch falls off ceiling candelabra and burns a mini-Dimmy.) There. She should get the hint. But what of the other?
Meanwhile
Garm has Artimus in suspended animation until action is determined. She cannot move, but she can hear his voice and reply.
Garm: Well, human. You put up a quite a battle with that old monster. (moves within Artimus field-of-vision) Forgive me, I am Garm. I hope you enjoy your stay here in this interesting world. If you survive, the rewards are plenty. Tell me, what do you think of it so far?
