The Cusp

Spelunking with The Doctor

I'm in some caverns, swimming with some guy who wants to set off a stick of dynamite. Apparently the explosion is supposed to be fun somehow, when the shockwave in the water hits us. The first time he goes to throw the dynamite, we figure it's too close at 100 meters. We back off to 150 meters, and the guy says the shock wave will probably rough us up a bit, but we'll survive.

I have my doubts that setting off dynamite in this cavern is a good idea. The whole place doesn't look very stable, and I fear it will collapse the entire cavern. Plus there are concession stands in the main area of the cave, one selling coffee and one selling gemstones.

Back in the main area, Doctor Who points out that there's something odd about the stand selling gemstones. He says it's impossible for them to have downloaded so many large gemstones into the cave. We ask to take a look at some of the gems, and I pop a large one into my mouth while the sales people aren't looking. Then I put another one into my pocket and we leave and go to our room in the cave. This girl enters bragging how she stole 3 gems, and I don't mention the two I took since she one upped me.

We notice that the cave is being invaded by little slimy slug creatures, showing up en masse in the water streams. The Doctor says they will destroy the entire ecosystem, then tells me to try feeding my gemstones to the slugs. I put a white one and a blue one in their path, and they go up to then and begin to eat the gems with loud crunches.

The Doctor concludes we need lots more gemstones to offset the slugs, but the concession stand selling them is closed. A couple of other people have a large bag of ice and a device that condenses the ice into gemstones. We take our ice gems into a cave shaped like a sloping theatre with water and fish at the bottom. The slugs have completely invaded it. We toss the gemstones into the water, and the slugs swarm them, eating them and releasing a certain chemical as they do.

The chemical cleans the water, improves the health of the fish, and causes the tomato plants on the shore to grow all the way to the roof of the cavern.

I've been doing laundry at some woman's house, and we're taking the last load to the laundry matt to dry them. They take their car, and I ride a bicycle. As I peddle down the street, there are soem official government types in the way. I try to steer around them, but they keep moving directly in front of me.

"Get the fuck out of the way!!!" I yell in frustration. The oldest of the trio comes up to me and tries to slap a metal gear plate onto the gears of my bike for being so rude, but I don't let him. He then orders a young red headed woman to put her plate on my bike, which would lock up the gears.

I grab the metal gear plate from the redhead and the old man and throw them like ninja stars off the bridge and into the water, then begin to push my bike up the hill. I look behind me as I go to see the old man sneaking up on me. Every time I turn my head, he's a little bit closer, but freezes when I look at him. I keep an eye on him until I'm over the hill, then pedal as fast as I can so he can't catch up to me.
