(Cut to the exterior of the Possible family domicile {Sounds weird when said, doesn't it}.)

Mrs. Possible: Well, it's a good thing I ordered extra pizza.

(Cut to the interior of the Possible household dining room. The family {sans Kim}, Veeken, rons_gurl, jedigirl, live2swim, Ret, and Ron are sitting at the table. Ret is discussing the physics required for the stunts in the Matrix trilogy to actually happen with Mr. Possible, jedigirl and live2swim are talking about Star Wars with Ron, Jim and Tim, and Veeken and rons_gurl are talking about the new teacher with Mrs. Possible.)

Veeken: Sorry about the extra guests, Mrs. P.

Mrs. Possible: It's no big. So, you were telling me about this new teacher?

Veeken: Yeah. She seems okay so far, but I'm worried how quickly she got down to assigning punishments on the first day.

Mrs. Possible: So that's where Kimmy is. Strange though, to keep a student out this long.

rons_gurl: Yeah, strange. I wonder, though...

Veeken: What?

rons_gurl: (chuckling) I know this might sound a little bit like just coincidence, but I remember reading a Great Mouse Detective fic that had a character named Meg Serantis. (beat) Okay, so the author had the same name, but that's probably actual coincidence.

Veeken: Yeah, I know. She still freaks me out, though. When she told Kim to meet her after class, I'm certain she said that "fame isn't everything".

Mrs. Possible: Don't worry, Veek. Remember that she's new. Who knows? You might learn something you never would expect about her.

Veeken: Maybe. Well, I need to go get something from my room if it's okay with you.

Mrs. Possible: Go ahead.

(Veeken walks up the stairs to her room, now situated next to Kim's. She sits down on the bed and looks at the bedside table. The Kimmunicator she got is now sitting there.)

Veeken: (sighs)

(Suddenly, there is a tap at the window.)

Veeken: (cont) Who's there? (another tap) Doctor Bedlo?

Kim: (from outside) Veeken, it's me, Kim.

(Veeken throws open the curtains to reveal Kim standing on the windowsill, with her grappling hook sticking out of one of her cargo pants pockets.)

Veeken: Kim? How'd you get up there?

Kim: I climbed.

Veeken: But how-? (beat) Oh, the grappling hook. Yeah, I gotcha.

(Veeken opens the window and Kim jumps in.)

Kim: Listen, can I use your computer?

Veeken: Be my guest, whatever you need to do.

(Kim dashes over to the computer, inserting the disk from earlier into its disk drive.)

Veeken: (cont) Say, what's on the floppy?

(Several documents appear on the desktop.)

Kim: I don't know.

(Kim clicks on one titled "Records of rogue dæmon captures", and it opens up to a surprisingly short list of names. At the top reads "Professor James Ratigan".)

Veeken: Weird.

Kim: Say, what's this?

(Kim closes the previous document and opens up a document titled "Personnel". Another list of names appears in text form.)

Veeken: Say, Kim?

Kim: Yeah, Veek?

Veeken: Can you use the search option to search for the name "Meg Serantis"?

Kim: I'll try.

(She types something on the keyboard, but the search turns up nothing.)

Veeken: Try just "Serantis".

(Kim types in Serantis in the search box, and it brings up a name and title: "Megara Serantis; Status: Lieutenant". Kim and Veeken are awestruck.)

Kim: Wow.

Veeken: Yeah.

(rons_gurl opens the door.)

rons_gurl: Uh, Veeken? (notices Kim) Oh, hey Kim. Um . . . What's on the computer?

Veeken: Kim found this disk of extremely weird documents in the teacher's bag.

rons_gurl: Ms. Serantis? But how? I-.

Kim: She mentioned two names: Basil and Ratigan.

Veeken: Really? I wonder . . . (picks up her Kimmunicator) Wade?

(Wade appears on the Kimmunicator's screen.)

Wade: What's the sitch, Veek?

Veeken: Can you do a profile check for one "Megara Serantis"?

Wade: Sure. Just give me a minute, okay?

(Wade types furiously on the keyboard. A profile appears on-screen, but the print is too small to read on the Kimmunicator.)

Veeken: The print's too small to read.

Wade: No problem. I'll send it to the computer.

(The file appears on the screen of the Kimmunicator.)

Veeken: (studying the file) Interesting . . .

rons_gurl: What?

Veeken: According to this, her birth date was in the year 1883.

Wade: But that's impossible. That would make her about 120 years old, I think. Not to mention the change of species. The picture here is of a mouse.

Veeken: It might be a mistake. (pauses for thought) Wade, can you do a face check on the Meg we saw and the Meg in the picture?

(Wade types some more on the keyboard, and the pictures layer on top of each other, one of the Meg they saw at school, and the mouse one of the profile. There are too many uncomforting likenesses.)

rons_gurl: Ookay, now I'm scared.
