Sora went through the door after having been visited by the ghost of the museum's would-be-owner.
If what he said was true, then there may be more of those Ixupi creatures lurking in the museum.
He took the elevator at the end of the hall and noticed his surroundings. He was in an office that even though 15 years had passed by, looked like it was just furnished. On the wall to his left was a map of the Earth and a newspaper article on Atlantis. In front of him was Ben's desk.
It was covered in papers and books, one of which was a scrapbook. This scrapbook revealed that Ben was requested by the Royal Society to withdraw over an argument about finding a griffin in a Turkish tar pit, the construction of the museum was troubled by financial problems, causing several delays to the opening of the museum, Luke had become a banker like his grandfather, the discovery of the vessels that Ben was talking about earlier and a letter from Ben's wife Padmé.
May 14, 1992
My dear Obi-wan,
I want to thank you for resigning from the Royal Society and avoiding the shame of being publicly dismissed. While our friends have not forgotten how you embarassed us, they at least have the courtesy to refrain from mentioning your indiscretions in public. Had the griffin been your only lapse, I think Sir Brown would have dismissed it. But you were constantly presenting things like curses of tombs, a mummified Cyclops, proof of life in outer space, and a unicorn. I know you felt slighted by your colleagues, and that was why you left England, but Obi-wan, your reputation is that of a trickster - not a scientist! I'm worried that our son might not be accepted into the proper social circles. Which brings me to the point of this letter. It would be better for Luke if you cease all communications with him. His future is far too important to risk jeopardizing it with dreams of a father digging up a muth from a desert tomb. I trust that you will do the honourable thing and leave Luke alone while you play with your musem.
Screw you
Padmé Kenobi
That was... informing... what else was in here when that thing got him?
Sora opened a drawyer and found what looked like a bull's head.
I better hold on to this.
Sora then noticed the tape player on the desk. He pressed play. Ben's voice emenated from the cassette.
"30th September 2000. Returning from Africa. I discovered something profoundly disturbing. Someone has been here. Furniture has been tipped over. And the book Egyptian Hieroglyphics explained is (here the tape fluctuated from slowing down) not in it place in the library, but face down here on the office floor. And oddly, one of the pages is torn out. And I feel the presence of... I'm not sure. I must investigate the second floor. The puzzles... when I created them, I never stopped to think they'd become an obstacle in the event of some terrible occurrance."

"The Ixupi! Someone has released them from their vessels! Never has anything been so evil! A name written in the elevator: Gibbs. Who is he, one of the missing teenagers? Here in my museum? If so, are they both here? Can they still be alive? Evil entities attacking from everywhere, robbing me of my life essence! I can't seem to find the right vessel for each Ixupi! Without it they can't be captured! Without it, I am doomed!"
Sora then heard what sounded like Ben pulling out a sword and trying to run from a monster.
So he was the third victim of these monsters? Who are the other two?
Sora's question was answered by a newspaper from the Post Tribune dated the same day as the recording. The headline stated that two teenagers, both male, Gibbs Darklighter and Deweg Antilles went missing. Also noted was that Ben drew a circle around Gibbs mugshot and commented "Is this the boy who's been following me?"
Sora went towards one of the doors and felt the same chill he felt in the boat as well as a vibration in his pocket. The Bull Head was reacting to the ashes in the fireplace!
OK, so that has to be one of the Ixupi hiding in there! But I don't have the full vessel yet.
