When Tropy arrived Ripper Roo wasn't anywhere to be seen but there were books strewn about everywhere. He noticed the books were all related to either physics, Nicola Tesla, Ley lines or Electromagnetism. Some were about the Bermuda Triangle and others about the Philadelphia Experiment. "Now why would he be interested in these?" Tropy thought to himself. Suddenly he heard a tin can hit the ground, he quickly turned round to see what was there. Nothing. Ripper Roo was in fact stalking him behind some rocks.

"I know you are there kangaroo!" Tropy was looking around, Ripper Roo then jumped a few feet in the air from behind the waterfall and landed right behind Tropy.

"Yeeeeeeeeeeethh?" Ripper Roo asked weirdly. Tropy spun round but was not too amused by Ripper's sneaking about.

"I see you have been 'borrowing' some of Cortex's books."

"Ah yeth, thothe, jutht thomething I'm working on dat'th all. A little hobby I gueth you could call it dat, yeth." (Because his tongue sticks out so much he has a distinctive lisp.)

"But what would minion like you want with books like these though, I mean, why did you only take these particular books such as 'Nicola Tesla's Physics' and 'The theories of electromagnetism'?"

"HHHA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAA, You're making it thound like I might know thomthing dat fffew otherth don't. I'm dutht thome thtupid minion rememberrrrrr."

"Well I am not sure about that now. I am starting to think that we may have underestimated you. If there is something you do know I strongly recommend you tell me, you do not want to get on my bad side believe me."

"HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA 'bad thide' for dere to be a 'badthide' dere hath to be a good thide."

"True, true but I still think you should tell me what you know."

"Ha ha ha ha who the hhhhell do you thhhhink you are?!? You don't thcare me! I don't hhhave to tell you anythhing!"

"Oh I'm sorry Ripper Roo but you are going to tell me anything I want." Before Ripper Roo had a chance to react with his claws Tropy swung his fork round striking Ripper Roo in the head knocking him out cold.

"Tropy come in, over." It was Neo on the radio.

"Yes?"

"Any luck?"

"Yes, looks like he is only interested in certain types of books."

"Really, what kind?"

"Anything to do with physics, ley lines, turbines and some scientist."

"That's odd, oh well, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about," Tropy rolled his eyes

'How stupid can he get?' he thought to himself.

"collect the books and bring them back here will you, and any sign of that blue brat?"

"None whatsoever."

"Ok, just bring the books back then, out." Tropy looked at Ripper Roo on the ground then over to some rope used to tie up a hammock.
