Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

Felix Jeremiah, Frau Claire Bonhofer and Franz Alter had struggled for several weeks with the enigmatic third volume of the Pnakotic Manuscripts in the basement of the Neues Museum Library. This was the volume that dealt with what seemed to be no less of a matter than the creation of life itself! The old English text was quite difficult to penetrate, but the trio was up to the task. The contents themselves seemed to be more of a challenge, with vast plethora of bizarre and disturbing concepts stacked upon each other. All three of the impromptu researchers were looking increasingly harried, with Franz Alter in particular looking even more gaunt and haunting. Frau Bonhofer simply applying more harsh makeup, while Felex Jeremiah looked as if he actually might be a young teenager.

The frenzied work of the trio was disturbed a by an equally frenzied MacKenzie MacNamara, who had been cared for by Moira Baker and the other investigators for some time after being poisoned in her office. Well, the office of Professor von Kleist, but Mackie was getting quite comfortable in his spacious office while Professor von Kleist recuperated at the Gollingsdorf Sanatarium.

"Have you seen this?" Mackie was holding a newspaper in her raised left hand, while pointing at an article. "You guys are famous!"
