## **The Story**

Nine years, four months, sixteen days ago, Cyril Davies and Bertram Oswalt Babbit visit Kiev Pechersk Lavra in Ukraine looking for U.L.P. recruits. The place hasn't produced any for them in decades, and they are about ready to give up when the head monk introduces them to Novir, a quiet teenager. Consultant Calleth Penrose, whom Cyril and Bertram brought with them, lays a hand on Novir's chest and makes a heroic prophecy, which interests the U.L.P. leaders. The monk says Novir isn't ready to go with them yet, but will in time. The monk is pleased that his facility might continue to be of use to the U.L.P.

Present day, on the new U.L.P. base in Kalispell, Montana, Daniel Kravitz, Josh Wallace, Alexis Augustus Armentrout, and Alfredo anxiously await Calleth, who is coming to do a ceremonial blessing of the grounds. Abby Reynolds believes this may help them fortify the property further, and Alfredo is not versed in his kind of magic... if you can even call it magic.

Seeing a student, Alexis gets distracted, thinking of his daughter, and excuses himself.

After Daniel berates Josh for being nice to Alexis, he asks Alfredo how the spell for Corey Addison, so she can leave the ranch, is coming along, and Alfredo says it's tricky, but should be done soon.

The group is interrupted by Grezit the Green and Novir, sword-fighting through a wall. Novir wins because Rufus Reginald Rochester is making the Gahroo pull his punches, which Grezit doesn't like. But Rufus is impressed with Novir's skill. Rufus dismisses class early and Daniel picks at his formal mentor for babying the students, complaining that Rufus never let him out early. Rufus returns that these trainees take his teachings seriously.

Corey follows Dawn Vaughn back to her dorm, as Dawn plans to spend the extra time working on one of her inventions, which Corey calls stupid toys. Dawn shoots back, reminding Corey that no one else will spend time with her, so maybe she should be nicer. Novir, Dawn's roommate enters, ignoring them. Dawn mentions Novir has nightmares, and Corey clumsily tries to pretend she doesn't.

As the two women chat, Novir looks out the window and sees Calleth drive up. He takes off without a word after Calleth, and a confused and curious Dawn and Corey follow. As they catch up, Alexis, Alfredo, and Rufus are greeting Calleth, whom they hired and bade come with urgency. Without acknowledging Novir specifically, Calleth accepts the students' assistance in carrying supplies, much to Dawn and Corey's chagrin.

They set up on the Southeast corner of the ranch, the closest spot to the nearby Flathead Indian Reservation. There is a totem there with a Thunderbird on top, which catches several of their interests, including Josh when he arrives. Rufus elaborates on the Thunderbird mythology, and how it protects their land. Dawn is impressed, but Corey dismisses the legend. Calleth begins tracing the perimeter.

An hour and a half later, Calleth is done. He tells Daniel he is happy to be of service, they pay him, and he leaves. But before he does, Calleth touches Novir's chest and whispers in his ear.

Back in the administration office, Rufus reveals he feels safer now. Alexis talks about how he found a stash of cash that will keep them flush for awhile. They also ponder the Thunderbird, which was not in the notes for the ranch.

## **Trivia**

* Wendy Parks was on maternity leave, so Abby does not appear in this episode.
* Daniel calls Kali 'her' in the theme song, which Rufus and Alexis quickly correct.
* Nick originally wrote Rupert Pryce into the opening scene instead of Bertram, but actor Virgil Von Hartzel wasn't available.
* When Jerome changed Rupert to Bertram in this episode, he gave Bertram the last name of Flowers, and it was actually performed that way. Jerome did not realize Nick had other plans for the character of Bertram, or a reason he needed a different last name. Nor did Jerome remember giving Bertram a last name when Nick's script was performed later in the year. The mention of Bertram Flowers was edited out of the podcast to avoid a continuity conflict.
