So it was a dark and stormy night,and Quark was musing over the size of the QUACK he'd need to build to
use a Harrison H3 to force his mental will to reshape Fast Light into the huge form of
a Triggernath sized dragon.
Alas his machines only could yield 2 inch long sized insects,nothing as big as a 20-30 foot long
dragon made up of fast light.
There was a muffled pounding on his door,and when he went to investigate,there was a weepy Dorothea with her
six children in tow,including red eyed 7 year old Philadelphia Hardbottom
Her mother was all tears and wailing,so it was up to Philly to explain the situation
The Press Gang had hauled off her father from the local tavern and Mr Justin Quark was now in chains
in the care of the Kings Admiralty about to be sent by transport wagon to
the Durham docks and on a probable one way trip to man one of the men o war blockading Quebec City
in New France.
Her mom had told her Gregory Quark had secret powers,and she hoped he could spring
her Justin.
Quark cast a despairing glance apon Dorothea,and then his eyes lit up when his glance returned to
Philly
Could it be the daughter of his former student had inherited some of the abilities Quark hoped Dorothea had?
There was only one way to find out
" My dear" he said as he led the young Philly towards his apparatus " How would you like to partake of a experiment?"
