she had something to show me." the boy answered. "Oh. Can I come?" "I
don't see why not." Alek and Dylan hurried down the hall to the boffin's
room. "We are here!" Dylan knocked on the door. Dr. Barlow opened the
door.
"Finally. Oh, I see you brought Alek."
"That was okay, right?"
"I don't see why not. Now hurry." They went into her room. "As you
know, I brought the Loris's aboard the Leviathan." Dylan and Alek nodded.
"Well, I also brought along another fabrication, also in eggs." Alek heard
barking from the Boffin's wardrobe. "What is that?" Alek asked. "That is
what I am telling you about." Dr. Barlow answered, opening the cabinet.

"Barking Spiders." Dylan whispered. "Yes." Dr. Barlow smiled, "Those are
'barking spiders'." "How…How will that help the war?" Dylan asked.
"Who isn't frightened of giant, barking spiders?"
