"You know, the Outback is a dangerous place," explains Radio to the group, "It has been a day, but I've seen what the Outback can do to you."

"What can it do to you?" asked AllStar.

"Well, nothing at first but give it a day or two and you will be driven mad." explains Radio, "So mad in fact that you will become insane, and you'll spend the rest of your life living like a wild animal and preying on what ever that moves. How do I know this? I've seen snorks time from time again, driven mad and sometimes kill each other... then eating them."

The group gulped at the thought.

"The worse of it all is that they are my neighbors, but we get along fine." reassured Radio, "In fact, we get along SO well that they would do what I say. Feral Snorks usually are able to tolerate me because I play bluegrass from time to time, but man they might be having a hard time right now."

"So if we get lost out here, we would become insane?" asked Corky from the other wagon.

"Yeah, usually a death of a loved one will speed up the process." explains Radio, "Or I drive you insane myself, for now there's no chance that's going to happen."

The caravan approaches unusual looking coral reefs, to Radio this is familiar ground because he and Rex travel through here all the time. They then approached a large massive structure made out of coral, it was a large hexagonal shape with a dome roof. The structure pulses with green light, almost to the beat of one's heart. Several Neuroctopuses had attached themselves the the structure and they look as if they're sleeping, but in reality their brains are connected to the massive structure.

"The Neuroctopus Supercomputer," says Radio, "It's more amazing than I thought, this signaled the beginning for the Information Age for us Snorks."

The caravan stopped and the group got off the wagon, AllStar and Occy have to stay behind due to their condition as Rex picked up the Captured Neuroctopus and hands it to Radio. "I can hear the electronic pulsing noise coming off of the computer," claimed Dr. Gallio.

"That's the sound of a quadrillion calculations per second, this computer is more complex than our brains." says Radio, "Everyone, stay away as me and Dr. Gallio check it out."

There was a opening in the structure and the snorks watched as Radio, Rex, and Dr. Gallio walked inside, when they looked in the core it was a hexagonal room littered with electrical glowing lines with a circuit board pattern. In the center lies a sphere with the same pattern but smaller, and on that sphere sits the mother which Rex mated with.

Rex whines as he approaches her, he hopped onto the sphere and stroke her head looking like he's about to cry. "Incredible," said Dr. Gallio, "What are we going to do now?"

"Take a look inside what's stored in their database," says Radio as he places both hands onto the sphere, suddenly his eyes glow bright green and were wide open. "Whoa! That's a Head Rush! Incredible crap they have in here, History, Mathematics, Science, they have it all!"

"Where did they get it?" asked Dr. Gallio.

"Directly from the zombies, and the Snorktown Library of course," explains Radio as he lets go of the structure, and his eyes went back to normal, "You give it a shot."

Dr. Gallio placed his hands on the sphere and was hit with a massive amounts of information downloading directly into his brain, the snorks eyes went wide and was literally blown out of the Supercomputer and back outside through the same way he came in. When the snorks rushed to his aid, he got up and began speaking rapid fire gibberish before saying, "They know more than us! Us us us us us..."

"Hrm, I guess not all Snorks can tolerate the internet very well," mumbled Radio.

Rex cradles the mother in his tentacles as Radio said, "Come on Rex, we don't have all day. Let's put an end to this nightmare once and for all."

He nods and tries to remove the mother off the sphere, all the glowing green lights turned bright red then...

"Well that is totally messed..." before Radio could finish, the sphere exploded and the supercomputer burst into a mushroom cloud of bubbles. Radio was simply tossed back towards the group like a rag doll as the army of Neuroctopuses jaws dropped, as the dust clears the Hexagonal structure was gone and a black hexagonal outline remains. Rex was in the middle of it, covered in soot and is unhurt. His mate however, is a different story.

Rex was holding her, she was dead. That might have been a big mistake, but without a central base the Neuroctopuses don't know what to do now. Radio walked up to Rex and placed his hand on his shoulder, "You don't have to feel sorry for yourself Rex, she'll live on through your pups." he assures, "What matter's most is that she has given birth to life, congratulations for assuring her future and being the father of her children."

The Neuroctopuses then surround the snorks boxing them in, but they're not mad but confused. They don't know what to do now, Dr. Gallio then gave a speech of his own. "We can co-exist, you can live in the Outback awhile we live in Snorktown." he says.

"He's right, this is my home and your my creation." said Radio, "You can live here as you like but you follow my rules, and I'll get you something in return."

The Neuroctopuses cooed and nod their heads agreeing with Radio, then an unexpected appearance of the Multiple Neuroctopus Zombie appeared. He stands before the group ready to attack as the 8 yellow eyes of the Neuroctopus glow yellow, but then they glow sky blue and surrendered. They detached themselves from the snork and it's revealed that their host was no other than Dr. Strangesnork, his eyes were crossed and he just stood there staring at the abyss.

"I forgot," he mumbled before falling back words, and went to sleep.

"Man I love my Grand Uncles," muttered Radio, "I have a Good Scientist and an Evil Scientist, to torture."

All the Neuroctopuses made a sinister laugh, and then an they burst out laughing. The snorks didn't get the joke but Dr. Gallio was laughing himself.

"Free cheese for everyone!" burst out Dr. Strangesnork in his sleep.

"Can we go home now?" asked AllStar.

"Yes, we can go home now." said Mr. Seaworthy.

Eventually, the snorks got back onto their caravans. All were wondering if that's really it, it seemed too easy. The Neuroctopuses began to pull the wagons back to Snorktown, with Radio playing his acoustic guitar Hillbilly style on the front wagon. "Be prepare to loose your mind," he sang, "Because Frankenstein will steal it."
