Arriving in the Workshop, Juliet and Arganthone observe the ice cube for a while and discuss possible solutions. They agree that normal fire certainly wouldn't suffice, but after Juliet remembers Pythe saying (during his adventures trying to defeat [[Mandragora-257]]) that magic tends to still follow the spirit of the laws of physics to ''some'' extent, they agree that “abnormal” heat should be able to melt this abnormal ice, if it is sufficiently powerful. They land on the idea of using a [[Wellsian]] [[Heat Ray]] and thus fly to [[Thrash|New Wellsia]]. | Arriving in the Workshop, Juliet and Arganthone observe the ice cube for a while and discuss possible solutions.

''to be | [[Juliet-178]] and [[Arganthone-056]] land on an ashen hilltop on the devastated planet [[Thrash]], with a valley between them and the pyramid where the [[Wellsian]]s appear to have taken up residence. The two briefly reflect over whether they've seen anything like this before, and come to an agreement that this is never going to be a diplomatic mission and they must get a hold of a [[Heat Ray]] either by stealth or by force. | ||
Inside the Pyramid, [[Sympus ag-Forgos]], Viceroy of the [[New Wellsian Empire]], is panicking in expectation of the upcoming celebrations of [[Allac-Ur]], the Wellsians' equivalent of Christmas: they too had placed an order with [[Madame Tarsa]] (for a gift to their leader, [[Radluhac ag-Wampyr]]) which she has failed to complete for reasons that are, to them, mysterious. Another Wellsian, Baron [[Skollops ag-Warka]], offers to fly the Wellsians' [[Fog Ship]] to the [[Interdimensional Black Market]] to inquire after the whereabouts of the Toymaker. | |||
After they agree on this plan and Skollops departs, one of the Wellsians' [[Goblin]] slaves runs in to warn Sympus about two Cupids — Juliet and Arganthone — having been spotted flying towards the Wellsian fortress. Although a flying threat would normally be within Skollops's purview, Sympus, keen on Radluhac not noticing Skollops's absence, decides to handle the situation himself, using nothing less than heavy artillery. | |||
