[ John watches this whole exchange between the animals and Gorgug unfold. The whole thing is ridiculous. Why are they following these animals in the first place? Why did Aurora give them yet another absurd mission? He's about to say something when his rat goes scampering off. Instead John gives a mental sigh. ]

[ The rat leads them to a shelf where it stops and pointedly squeaks. Is this is what his life has come to? Following the directions of a rat? John picks it up and moves it around in front of the shelf like an echo locator. Clearly it has a destination in mind. Eventually it settled on a particularly fat tome which John retrieves and passes to Gorgug. He shines his glowing robe in the gap between the books on the shelf but finds... nothing. Unbeknownst to him the rat settled on finding bookworms first. ]
