Three: Hawthorne grew from a sleepy, strange infant, to a quiet and stranger child. They could often be found 10 paces behind Librarian, and they learned quickly to read, write, and of course- shelve books.

CUS 4.5: Conclusion
Conclusion: I do not know why any of you idiots thought that Star narrating was my idea, something I agreed with, or something I encouraged. Do you see what happens when we think we are smart enough to make our own decisions? That's right. You crash the ship, and you upset me, and Ariadne. Mostly Ariadne. What if Strawberry Bot got hurt, what would you all have done then? We have crash landed on a new planet. As we exit the space ship, people approach us. They looked tired, a

Part 8: It looks like trouble is on the horizon. Because we all left in such a hurry after the whole thing with the Wizard, Ariadne may or may not have calculated the spacey gravity landing thingies correctly.

Part 5: I guess we should get back to me actually narrating and not bossing all of you around to do chores, or something. Ariadne has been hard at work on her little computer thingy, and we finally have received a signal from a new world. It looks like you all have another place that you'll need to save. Hopefully it doesn't take three years this time! Did I sound like Narrator just then? This new world looks like someone has decided to make it a rule that you're not allowed

But you all are probably not even supposed to be on this ship, so time for you to get to cleaning! Do you have books on cleaning? Surely you all have something you could use here that would help you clean...Narrator said you have just a few days to get this done so, good luck. Part 4: Quick emergency babies! Strawb
