This is years in the future of a strange parallel universe (at least, it seems like it is) where the great inventor (aka Jimmy) who had made the world a wonderful place, suddenly disappeared, along with his friend, Master Sheen. In his absence, the evil overlord, Eustace Strych has laid down a world conquest.
We are the Neutron Knights, who follow the ways of the great inventor, and lead by Queen Mara, are on a quest to stop the overlord.
We found out that the overlord was trying to find the Chest of Calamitous, which could unleash unspeakable evil onto the world. The key to this chest was in the posession of Lady Gorgeous, Calamitous's daughter, who then married into the Strych line, and the overlord now has the key and wears it around his neck. Queen Mara then made a replica of the key using an old picture of the overlord.
We then went to Calamitous's mausoleum to find clues. We found the replica chest used to fool people, (although we didn't know that at the time). The hollow brick that encased the chest I still have in my trenchcoat.
While we were finding the chest, Spike got ambushed by one of the overlord's cronies, but later escaped, thanks to Issac.
We had a run in with some evil monks at the ruins of Shangi Llama, but we escaped and got back here. We then found out that Calamitous had an appentice named Sir Edward, who was supposed to have an intelligence to rival the great inventor himself. Only he could be the one to open the chest. He is dead now, along with Calamitous, but he left behind desendents. Spike is the grandaughter of the apprentence, and has the power to open the chest. That was why the overlord wanted her brought to him alive.
We found out the chest we brought home was a fake, but it left clues to the real chests location. One of the clues said "Part of me" on a pebble. We're trying to figure out if it means Calamitous or the pebble.
(man, that's alot of adventures)

OK, that means that something could be hidden in his wrappings. Or somewhere in this casket...

Come in Knights, come in.
This is Rat Lady, over.
I have completed my mission. I apologize for having to leave you all like that without any explanation, but I had been promised to secrecy.
Now that the mission has been fulfilled, I am allowed to fill you in on some of the details.
Here goes.
THE TATERS TALE
Just over a month ago, I got an urgent call from the Intergalactic Security Squad, requesting my immediate aid in a mission "too delicate to discuss on open channels". I was suspicious, but my gut told me they were to be trusted, so I packed up Ratty and we flew off in my Strato XL8000.
Upon reaching their spacestation headquarters, I was informed that the Grandma Taters Ring was once again at large, and planning something huge for several local star systems. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, they were unable to deduce what exactly the Taters Ring was up to.
Having heard of my prowess in stealth, they had hoped I might be able to sneak in to the Taters lair and gain an understanding of what their evil scheme actually was.
Slightly embarrassed and surprised that they chose me, particularly after that incident at Strych's mansion, I first asked them if they had gotten the right Rat Lady. They seemed to have more faith in me than I had in myself, and urged me to agree.
And so Ratty and I were signed on for one of the most dangerous missions we've ever run.
After doing some routine maintenance on my crossbow and jetpack, I packed up the rat food (and a few pudding cups), and we embarked on our mission.
It was slow going at first. Tracking down the Taters Ring is no walk in the park. However, the pieces began falling together after not too long, and I discovered that their hidden lair lay on the outer planet Yeeton of the Firenic star system.
A few preliminary scans of the small planetoid and I discovered it was nearly void of life forms, save for a small pocket near the South Pole. That had to be them. Putting the Strato XL8000 into stealth mode, we made our descent several miles out from the lair and landed in a rocky desert.
A day's hike brought us to the very doorstep of the Taters Ring, and that is when things began to get sticky.
The Taters had surrounded their secret lair with a series of defense mechanisms I have yet to have seen anywhere else. Strange, patchwork quilt fences. Gun turrets that fire heat seeking knitting needles. Apple pie land mines.
Getting through these was tricky, but never would have been possible if Ratty had not maneuvered through first to locate the security cameras and chew through their wires, freezing their images to a scene of no intruders.
The night shielded me as I crossed the final mine-filled field and arrived at the warm, glowing cottage in the center. Ratty joined me and we crouched low, under a window, to try and hear what was going on inside.
Through the clicking of the knitting needles and the creaking of rocking chairs, I succeeded in overhearing the following conversation:
"I still am not sure that we should try and implement this plan on Earth. First Neutron, then those gosh darned Neutron Knights..."
"Oh hush, deary. We'll just make sure that they are the first to hear the broadcast. The Neutron Knights won't be more of a bother than a leaky saucepan to a cat."
"Well, if you say so. I do hope they enjoy our latest show. I'm so glad I thought of it. 'The Happy Happy Smiles All Around Show'. It's perfect!"
"You thought of it? I beg your pardon, deary, I thought of it."
"You?"
"Yes, deary, don't you remember? I thought it would be best to have two ways to spread love and good cheer. First, through our sweet and wholesome programming, and second, just to ensure all share in the love, through seeing the smiles on others faces."
"Ooo, yes! Contagious smiles! Such a delightful idea. Now even those unfortunate enough not to see our wonderful show will be able to join in the happiness of it! And the fun starts tomorrow night!"
Both began giggling to one another at this point. I lowered myself back to a sitting position underneath the window, just barely hearing one of the Taters offer "More brain juice, deary?" to the other as I scooped up Ratty in my arms.
What to do? It was too soon. I was worried I would never get back in time to contact the Intergalactic Security Squad before this horrid plan was implemented.
Just as I thought my fears were at their worst, things went from "downhill" to straight out "falling off cliffs".
Attack cats. I had not heard them surround us, and it was Ratty's squeaks of alarm that alerted me to their presence.
There had to be thirty of them. Hair bristling, eyes glowing. Ratty arched her back and hissed challengingly.
As I tried to formulate a plan, one of the larger felines made a lunge at us. Ratty leapt to my defense and I cried out in alarm.
Suddenly the Taters appeared at the window above me, peering down. "So, you came to Grandma's and didn't ask to come in for milk and cookies? How very rude!"
I spun, swinging my crossbow off my shoulders and shot at the window latch, crashing the window pane down on their fingers.
"My knitting hands!" I heard one of them cry as I turned to aim at the cat entangled with Ratty. There was no way to ensure a clear shot, but I knew we had to get away.
Thinking quickly, I leapt to me feet, grabbed both the cat and the rat, and raced over the minefield, carefully but hurriedly following my footprints from the way in.
The fighting pair were inseparable, and I got my own fair share of scratches from trying to hold them still in my arms. The army of cats chased after us, deftly dodging the mines in some sort of feline sixth sense.
A cry of aggravation sounded from the cat in my arms and I looked down to see Ratty's jaw latched onto the cat's nose, her eyes winced in concentration. I took the opportunity to grab both of them and yank, pulling them apart from one another. Dropping the cat, and wrapped my wounded Ratty in my arms and we raced off again.
To make a long story short, we made it out, though I still can hardly believe it. I managed to get my communicator to send out a strong enough signal and called the Intergalactic Security Squad. Within hours, they appeared above the planetoid and I sighed in relief, though I was still sprinting to my ship.
The Taters were taken into custody, and as you can see, their plan was not successful. The "Happy Happy Smiles All Around Show" never aired, and never will.
I apologize once again to my fellow Knights for not being able to speak of this mission earlier. I trust you will forgive me.
Ratty is doing just fine, so you all know. She had some pretty deep scratches, but nothing that a few stitches couldn't take care of.
I am very excited to be back at headquarters. I hope your mission on the other side of the world is still going alright! Please contact me if at all possible. I am anxious to hear of your progress.
Rat Lady out.
:ahoy:

Ok, back to the coffin:
I see some hyroglyphics on the inside walls of the coffin. Hold on, I recognize this! *fumbles for journal, then flips through* I never thought I'd see the day...It's...it's...ok, maybe you all will recognize this: *reads*
Whosoever disturbs my resting place shall indure eternal punishment...and their screams shall be heard throughout the centuries and...
It stops there, typical of Calamitous, but are you guys thinking what I'm thinking? I say it's time for a quick trip to Egypt!

Should I plan to meet you and the rest of the team there?
Over.

Ok everyone, let's ditch this tomb...and go to another one! :lol: Is it ok to go out of the tomb? Who's on watch?

I know you don't like the bandages, but we are going to Egypt. That means sand! That means sand in your stitches if you don't let me cover them with a bandage, so quit your squirming, missy!

I also have some information, but it is not very specific. As you may know, the great inventor's faithful sidekick, Carlton kept a journal of all his friends adventures, but only as a side note, as he used most of its pages to describe an older woman he doted on. But there are some useful bits, most of which I have copied into my journal.

I shall rendezvous with your team on the west bank of the Nile.
I really can't contain the thrill I'm feeling to be back with the Knights! Solo missions are not nearly as rewarding of experiences.
