Ok, all da KC kitties, gather round please. And any offur kitties or
goggies who want do, you can join in if you want to. Yes, Milton, I
know dat Francesca isn't here right now. Her is off on a secret
mission fur da Community.
I fink just about efurryone except Ranger is too young to remember
when I had to fight the Boss Greebling (I fink Ranger said info on
that is online at https://groups.google.com/g/rec.pets.cats.community/c/f6dTyqcvF1E/m/6X INCYJp8kkJ). In my video chat wif some skwirls and raccooms and
possums I know, it sounds like a new Boss Greebling has shown up.
[Ranger] When Milton an da Dogg and I go in da back yard, all of our furriends tell us about lots an lots of greeblings being spotted in
areas dat used to be greebling-free. And we'z hearing stories saying
dat they're ALL OVER da Midwest US.
[Fred (very shyly, mostly hiding behind Ranger)] And I'm hearing
stories about da greeblings are stealing fings from humans. An dey is
mostly picking famblies wif kitties, an we figger dey is trying to
embarrass da kitties.
[Sammy] Milton , Fred, and Mr Lucky have stumbled across some leads
they need to investigate, that might lead to some resources to help
us collect more information.
I am pretty sure that we need to find the new Boss Greebling and do
something about him. What do you all think?

No, dey smell AWFUL! When I had my fight with the boss guy, I found
dat he had a big fancy chair dat his greeblings had stolen from
hoomins. Da boss guy sat in it all da time time, and it STANK! I
figgered dat it might come in handy some day, so I cut out a piece of
da fabric on da chair and kept it in a air-tight jar all dese years.
[He hands over a glass jar with a piece of grungy fabric inside]
You can smell dat fabric, and dat will tell you what a greebling
smells like. But do it CAREFULLY! Take too big a sniff an yourz nose
might fall off!
Sammy
Prince comes up and sniffs from a distance then covers his nose and
goes so far as to grab out his nose mask meowmie had special made fur
him so he could see his heart-Josh inna dat hospital. Luko less
careful gets a big sniff and starts choking.
Prince asks all da other doggies anna gud sniffer kitties to come.
Sammy: Milton, did you and Fred have some leads you wanted to follow up? Do you need any help?we could use.
Milton: Mebbe. I was digging through some notes that Harri Roadcat left behind, and I found what looks like GPS coordinates. I was finking we could mebbe borrow one of doze big truck fingys and go check it out? Mebbe we could find find something that
we could use.Sammy: Milton, did you and Fred have some leads you wanted to follow up? Do you need any help?

Milton: We’z got that old notebook that was Harri Roadcat’s, and it has doze coordinates.
Fred: I finded some notes from a kitty named Cleopatra, an dey also haf
da same numbers.
Mr Lucky: I know dat da Community has doze big truck fingies, and da teleporters, I fink we should all borrow on of doze trucks and go see what’s dere.
Sammy: Dat sounds like a plan. Dere’s a truck parked behind the
FluffyKitz warehouse, an it’s all gassed up an ready to go. It has roo
fur at least a dozen kitties.
Any other kitties want to go along to investigate?

When they reach the treeline they see what appears to be a little
airport. There are 2 runways at right angles to each other, some large hangars on the far side of the field, and a 2 story office building just
50 yards or so away from them.

large hangars on the far side of the field, and a 2 story office
building just 50 yards or so away from them.
Pi2nya drives the truck under a large bush, and everybody climbs out.
They make their way to the edge of the woods and take cover behind a
clump of wild rose bushes. While they peer under the roses, a door
opens in the nearby building and a figure wearing a flight suit and
helmet walks out and strides toward a truck parked nearby. The flight
-suited figure stops and apparently listens to a radio call, then
nods and walks towards where the kitties are hiding. As the figure approaches, the kitties notice the handle “Princess” painted on the helmet, and a name tape embroidered with “Fierce” on the breast of
the flight suit.
The figure takes off the helmet.
“Francesca! What are you doing here?”
“The question is what you all are doing here. This is supposed to be
a secret installation.”
“Well, we found some of Harri’s old notebooks, and one of them had a latitude and longitude. We decided to see what’s here, so here we
are.”
Francesca nods, the waves for everybody to follow her. She leads them
to a strange looking vehicle parked nearby.
Mr Lucky: “Wha.. what is that? Is it anything to be afraid of?”
Francesca: “It’s just a truck a Unimog. We use them a lot here.”
Every climbs aboard the truck, and Francesca explains as she drives.
“This place is called Furface Field. Harri Roadcat set it up as a
small airport, but it has grown since then. You can see the hangars,
where the aircraft are stored and serviced. That other hangar across
the field is for surface vehicles and boats. And those buildings
along the west side of the field are the labs.
The silver lab was Cleopatra’s. The bricks and rubble to the north
indicate where Amelia’s first lab was. The building with the orange
tabby pattern was Harri’s lab. As you can see, it’s the only one with it’s own taxiway. Then way to the north, the brown, orange, and black building surrounded with a high dirt berm is the latest of Amelia’s
labs. She tended to experiment with some very high energy chemicals,
and managed to blow up her previous labs a couple times.”

Gentle Jack sniffs at Luko and asks if he'd like a little adventure?
Luko nods then climbs behind the bar and pulls out Cash's old carryall.
It has 2 pannier bags on each side and a comfy back covering which in
colder weather, has a lambskin furry cover, just right to give a kitty
a ride. He glances at the doggie sneakers but opts for the rain
galoshes just in case as he knows Luko *HATES* getting his toes wet as
bad as he does.
Gentle Jack sits patiently while Luko adjusts the bags and makes sure
they are comfortable, then fills them with various snacks. He then
sees the magic wishing box!
He'd forgotten out it. Buried in the back, he'd heard the story from
Prince who learned it from Daisy-chan when Aunti Mabel was gifted it 4
dog generations ago.
Luko brings it out and thinks 'what would help us?'. Gentle Jack
sniffs the box then jumps back a little as it glows. Slowly the glow
fades and it opens. Inside, is a perfect thing! It's an owie warning
tail ornament. 2 white bands with a pad in top with a little red cross symbol, and a connector that looks like a bandaide. 2 small bells are
under it. They put it on and testing shows if his tail gets happy, it
make noise that he can use to tell if he's neededing to be careful, so
he doesn't break it again on a coffee table leg or something like he
did 2 months ago.
Luko and Gentle Jack give a purr and a wag at A Meowmie and Daddy-2foot
then take off for a little spring fun!
They come out of the cataporter to see the Unimog arrive...
"It's FLUFFIKINS, and of course." He opens the conference room door and waves, and a very happy squirrel enters, pushing a wire cage holding a
weird looking creature. The creature looks like a big greebling, but has
a suspiciously fluffy tail. "Everybody, please say hello to Zuzu. The creature in the cage is his brother Zeke. They had both been transformed
into pseudo-greeblings, but Zuzu has been restored. Zeke has also
received the treatment, but will take a day or so longer to complete his transformation. We also have a former and again beaver, a helpful
gentleman named Buckminster, who has been helping with my lab work. So
we know where all the greeblings are coming from and we know how to
rescue them. We don't know where their headquarters are, though. We need
to find that before we can proceed."

"I have a suggestion. We have quite a few aircraft here, many of them robotic. We also have a lot of good scanning equipment that can spot greeblings from the air, but the scanners can't tie in to the
airplane controllers. We could always launch a bunch of surveillance
aircraft with these scanners, but we would need kitties and doggies
and maybe squirrels to ride along in the airplanes to watch the
scanners, and to radio in when they find concentrations of greeblings.
What do you all think of that idea? Would it work?"
Francesca
Luko and Gentle Jack, sitting on the sides, confurr. 'If I could sniff
a greebling, I'd understand it better' whispers Jack. Luko whispers
back 'I have never seen one but I have heard it's a bad smell you never forget. Maybe they live peaceful lives without bothering anyone if
left alone, but I suspect that isn't true or folks wouldn't be so upset
about them and turning normal folks into them is just wrong'.
