So when I was a kid I played this CD Rom game from Broderbund called 'Reading Galaxy/Alien Tales' the object of the game was you were the representitive of Earth of an Alien Game Show and your mission was to prove a classic work of children's literature had been written on Earth and that the various Alien Plagerists were frauds I realized this set up was the perfect means for making a story about addiction to online gaming and also giving too much info to strangers online

As the Cubs gathered around Caesar as Bridget's Special Computer Turned on, Zeb had a feeling this was going to lead to big trouble, she wanted Caesar off that computer as soon as possible!

"Caesar!" Zeb said "This isn't funny! You should really get off right now!"

"Don't you want to see what kind of cool games might be on this thing?" The Young Chimp asked

"That's her work computer." The Zebra Filly said "It probobly doesn't have any games!"

Caesar noticed in the very farthest righ hand corner of the screen, was a brown file icon that just read 'XXX'

"What does this do?" Caesar asked as he clicked on it.

That was when there was some rumblings in the computer, all the Cubs felt a deep sense of fear that the computer might break

Then a message popped up 'Ultra-Long Distance Modem Services' then several messages appared in rapid succesion

'ESTABLISHING INTERNET LINK

ESTABLISHING OUTERNET LINK

SEARCHING FOR MISSING LINKS'

Then the Cubs heard a message in fluent English

"Your computer is turned to I.B.S. This is the Interstallar Broadcasting System..."

Then a message apparered on the screen 'IBS SECURITY GATE PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF! TYPE YOUR NAME IN SPACE BELOW AND ENTER YOUR NAME'

Feeling intimidated Caesar simply typed 'Caesar'

A new message appaeared 'GREETINGS CAESAR OF EARTH. YOU ARE A NEW IBS SUBSCRIBER PLEASE STAND BY CAESAR OF EARTH VERIVICATION MAY TAKE A MOMENT...LOG IN COMPLETE'

Then what happened next was the screen counting down from five the numbers the cubs could see were the English Numbers but they heard voices chanting down saying words they couldn't understand Then a voice in English said 'Tons of tantalizing prizes! A virtual garage sale of the universe! All this and more could be on it's way to some lucky creature in the Cosmos!"

Now at that very moment the Fellowship Crew who were currently riding in the Captured Wrangler Cruise Ship the 'S. S. Mehitabel' along with several other Federation Workers ready to help any poor creatures who would be boarded onto the Ships, if the Wranglers could see what might be happening to their beloved luxeries right now, Humanimals getting their furry, feathery or scaly hands all over them, it might be enough to make some of them faint! At that very moment Bridget was trying out the dairy bar with Bill, as the giant milkshake dispenser poured some mango milkshake into Bridget's glass, the Striped Bass began sipping but as she was enjoying herself, she felt an intense chill go down her spine, her fins which particurally on her head tended to flop in a way that mimiced human hair stood straight on end.

Bill noticed "Uh...Bridget...Something the matter? Why are you fins acting like that?"

"I don't know..." Bridget said "...I just suddenly felt this instanse goose pimply feeling all over."

Oracle have certain blind spots they can not foree specifically the fates of their parents, the one who gave them life or their children the ones they give life to. Some Oracles see this a reason not to have children but others see it as what frees them to have children that they can not know what specifically what their child's fate will so they don't feel that weight of that knowladge. While Bridget's computer wasn't biologicaly a child the fact she seemed to put a little magic into that machine meant it wasn't just an ordinary machine thus she felt a vague feeling as someone was touching it and playing with it but she had no way of knowing what eactly was happening which was fine because if she knew what was happening she would probably turn rabid!

The name of the Cruise Ship is a reference to a Cat from a 70s Animated Movie Shinbone Alley and the thing of 'Seers' can't specifically see what happens to their parents of their children I borrowed from The White Bone' a novel about elephants
