Fowl Manor
Artemis accessed the speaker system that linked him with the rest of the house.
"Butler! Juliet! I need you in here!"
He barely had to wait for two minutes before Butler and Juliet ran in.
"I need you two to watch this presentation that I have prepared. Do not question it, merely search your memory for anything like this."
Artemis turned his compute monitor to face his two servants/bodyguards. With a click of his mouse, the computer began showing images of what he could remember. He had a voice recognition tool, made for police artists, draw the images for him, so they were quite good. The presentation was showing first an image of a fairy, then one of the C-Cube, then one of Artemis's father tied to a chair in Russia, and other images of that sort. Recognition first graced Butler, at an image of Mulch Diggums. Remembrance then dawned on Juliet at an image of a troll. Artemis found this odd, as she was under the effects of the mesmer at the time, but dismissed it as a naissance of the mind. As more images flashed by, the pair began to remember more and more. When it was finally finished, they were left speechless.
Artemis stopped meditating, and said "I have just remembered that Mulch Diggums should be released from prison. I changed the search warrant date so that it would be after the date he was searched, and he would be released. If he managed to find a decent lawyer, he should be free by now. Also, I believe that a few things must be done. Butler, I would like you to visit your friend, the detective. Request of him the details of his case investigation the restaurant in which you were shot. Juliet, contact Madame Ko. Something in my memory seems to be linking her to this somehow. Ask of her anything she may remember that you did out of the ordinary." A mute nod from both of them and they went running off to do the tasks that their master had assigned them. Artemis continued to search his vast memories for any clue that Foaly might have missed.
HavenA fairy that had been searching for Colonel Root finally located him in the Ops booth. The fairy held an important-looking piece of paper that bore the stamp and signatures of all the council members. When the fairy saw Root, however, he began to back out of the booth, eventually turning around and fleeing. What had caused this was the fact that Root's face was very, very, very red. He was staring at the computer monitor as if he wished it would explode, which, in fact, he did. It was showing an image of a mudmen news report. The reporter was talking about a recently discovered item that would "revolutionize" technology. Root was swearing. Repeatedly. The mudman revealed that the technology was a locator of some kind, that it had a nuclear power source, that it's bolts were magnetic, that it had withstood an explosion large enough to destroy a full sized whaling ship, and that it had DNA on it of a kind scientists had never seen. He went on to say that a diver had discovered it, and showed a picture of it. Root swore more loudly. It was obviously fairy technology. What was more, it was Holly's locator. It had been in an explosion that had, in fact, destroyed a whaling ship, and almost Root's life with it. Artemis Fowl had exploded a kilogram of pure Syntax, by remote of course, while Root had been nearby. Root had been tracing Holly's locator, which Artemis knew he would, so Artemis had prepared a… demonstration. However, the locator had been Foaly's design, and thus could not be destroyed by anything less than a full sized nuclear explosion. While the explosion that Artemis had set off had certainly not been small, it had not even damaged the locator. Root was thankful that Fowl had not left a gun there as well, but very angry at himself for not realizing just how much damage the locator would suffer: none. However, a locator was even enough to set mudman technology ahead by years. Now that the fairies did not have Foaly to do more research, the mudman technology might catch up to the fairy brand. That would mean the biggest catastrophe in fairy history, even counting the War of the Giants. Root swore louder as he thought about it more. It would mean that humans would exploit the fairies, just like they had done to every other species for thousands of years. Root could not quite grasp the concept of fairies going extinct yet, so he focused on the smaller things. Like the fact that half of the mudmen on the planet now knew that fairies existed. And the fact that there was no way that they could all be wind-wiped. Root yelled at a nearby sprite. "Get me a line to the council! Emergency priority!"
"Yes sir! Line is open…now!"
"This is Colonel Root. We have an emergency. I am bringing Fowl down."
"What do you mean you sent a messenger over?! No one came in here! Oh well. We are bringing him down now anyways."

Thank you to all my reviewers. It makes me very happy when I get nice reviews. And no, I have not done this before. Cybergurl, thank you for noticing the titles, but it says in Ch3 that they got promoted by eliminating Artemis Fowl. Again, thank you all!
