Academician Teng of the Tesk Academy sat in his cell and concluded that his difficult job had got a lot harder. When in jail it''''s very hard to bring the imminent end of the world to the attention of the local head of state. Let alone gain royal support for his proposed project to do something to maybe delay it. And as for the annoying extra conditions the academy''''s administration imposed on him.... did they want the world to descend into chaos or something? He''''d tried to explain things to the jailer, but that hadn''''t gone well either. Maybe his sister would hear a rumour he was here?Across the city from Teng''''s cell, Prince Hal (not a pirate, that''''s just a rumour) recognised the sound of a chair breaking over someone''''s head. Hal was impressed, it actually knocked the jailer out. Why there was a jailer at the barn had been confusing Hal for a while.
