"You have been busy."

She said. "But hey," she suddenly looked serious. "Even a genius needs help sometimes. I may not have the brains like you but I certainly have ideas. Phone Holly.

They mind-wiped me a couple of years back, but a certain female dwarf, Mulch's sister, helped me out. I was more of a friend than you were, to the LEP."
