TECHIBEETLE'S DIARY...

Dear Audio-Visual Diary,

It's me again, Techibeetle, the only creature in all of Kyngdom who is highly skilled in Hydrangea code and knows how to properly activate a Sagebrush Server. And Sssassandra had the nerve to call me a "nerdy little bug" once! Anyway, I digress. I've been playing around with wires and roots and servers and things—complicated stuff; if you’re reading this without my express permission, you wouldn’t understand anyway—and I've somehow created a line that's picking up feedback from the B.I.G. laboratory as well as from the nearby human town of Brushburn. Silverpaw will SO regret not including me on any of her "important" missions when I debut this technology at the next Bog & Burrow Open Mic Night . . .

OK, I’m getting something. Wires are in place, roots are picking up the signal crystal-clear:

2:47 am Kyngdom Time (UTC)—Oh, it’s nothing exciting. Just the sound of laughter and clinking glass at the Bog & Burrow. Guess everyone’s hanging out without me again. Lemme switch transmissions and see what’s going on at B.I.G. . . .

back to the KYNGDOM™ Power of Wing
2:49 am—A strange, eerie silence in the B.I.G. headquarters. Is everyone taking a late lunch?

2:52 am—Whoa. I’m picking up one sound and one sound only from the headquarters: a high, piercing whistle. It’s kind of beautiful, so why am I suddenly so afraid?

2:53 am—I can hear Professor Cornelia screaming, “We’ve activated the power, boys! We’ve activated the power!” Was that the sound of . . . champagne popping?

2:54 am—I’m picking up something from a far-off mountain. Man, my equipment is really powerful. A low growl. More of a rumble, really. Probably just the wind in the trees.

2:54 am—Ooh, now I’m picking up Zephyra’s voice from the Bog & Burrow. She’s so awesome! I wonder if she’ll mention me; like, “Any of you guys know the name of that beetle who’s super cute in a geeky way?”

2:57 am—ZEPHYRA IS YELLING AT ME TO PAY ATTENTION. Whoops, sorry, she’s not yelling at me, I’m not there, I’m in my computer room, all alone. This is depressing. Correction: Zephyra is yelling at all the animals in the Bog & Burrow to settle down.

2:58 am—Zephyra seems to be giving a speech, but I’m only catching bits of it because the rumbling/growling sound is growing louder: “I repeat, DO NOT PANIC. Somehow, with their thick human fingers and dense human brains, those denizens of evil have activated the Power of the Wing and have summoned—”

2:58 am—Zephyra’s speech is drowned out by gasps and screams from the Bog & Burrow. I’m picking up the sound of running feet.

3:00 am—THAT ROARING SOUND IS GOING TO BREAK MY EQUIPMENT. Ugh. Turning my attention back to the B.I.G. headquarters to see if I can figure out what’s going on.

4:01 am—From the headquarters, I hear screams, the sounds of breaking glass, and that awful roaring sound again. “The Gryph—” I hear someone yell before the sound of an explosion drowns them out. (Let me guess: a beaker of something bright green got too close to a beaker of something bright blue. Happened to me in chemistry class one too many times.)

4:02 am—I’m picking up frequencies from the animal spies watching the B.I.G. headquarters. That’s Silverpaw’s voice! “Our weapons are no good against this beast!” she calls. “He has the ancient Power of the Wing on his side, and he doesn’t know that he’s using it for harm and not for good.” I hear another spy—I think it’s Flying Sqirl—mutter, “Poor beast. He has such a lonely look in his eyes. Too bad we have to take him down.”

4:53 am—In the B.I.G. lab, Professor Cornelia is sobbing. “The Gryphon,” she breathes. “It’s real. It’s all real.”

4:54 am—Silverpaw: “Oh no. He’s headed for the human town.”

4:54 am—ROARS AND THE SOUND OF FIRE FROM THE TOWN OF BRUSHBURN. I can even hear the Gryphon’s heavy breathing. The beast is here to destroy. The town’s residents are only humans, but still—it feels wrong, somehow, to sit here and listen to it burn.

5:58 am—NOTE TO MY FUTURE SELF: This is shaping up to be the most exciting day of my life!! Zephyra herself just BURST into my computer room and asked me to come help. I said, “With what?” and she said, “With the misguidedly zealous and deeply unknowable beast wreaking havoc on our human neighbors, Techibeetle,” and I said, “You really have a way with words, Z,” and she just gave me an inscrutable look and started pulling me out of the room by my ears. BUT!!! Before she left, she glanced at my equipment. “With all your specialized knowledge, we could use you on our team,” she said. So long, Audio-Visual Diary! I’m going off to be a hero!
