"There is some feeling at local agencies", Caydance's brother said that afternoon in the beach house, "that this object should be confiscated. However, given that there does not yet exist enough evidence to do that, we need to open it, observe what is in it, and then resume this conversation."

Caydence picked up the BOWAK and turned the keylike thing in the lock. A side door opened, revealing that the accordion fold tail descended to the floor of the object, where it was anchored in a miniature brass vise, affixed to bottom with tiny brass screws. "You'll need this", Jack said, producing a miniature screwdriver from inside his wallet.

She loosened the screws, releasing the scroll, gently pulled it out of the box through the slot on the top, pushed the book object to the side and unfolded the paper concertina, so that the ViewMaster reel, with which it began, was visible. "Huckleberry Hound Lands on the Moon," she said to the two men who were stationed on either side of her, at her drawing table in the beach house. "A ViewMaster reel that the artist probably remembered from childhood. Is it significant, given that it is the first square, that it deals with rocketry and space exploration?"

"Wow," Griff remarked. "‘About twelve skyrockets ought to get me to the moon';' Space travel will make you hungry, one hamburger please!'" I had that as a child. I still remember when Huck arrived on the green landscape of the moon."
