Net Positive+ takes a trip. to the library this week to talk to Ebnom, Deepshield's head librarian and recordkeeper, to talk about the cranium rats that have been sighted all throughout the city. Dell, in a stroke of questionable genius, decides they must seek one out for research purposes and bring it to Tyrus in the hopes of finding a way to combat their psychic abilities.

While searching for the rats in the Rock Bottom Hexagon, Khoka runs into Rutrig, an unprepared dwarf guard who had previously helped them battle a queen kruthix and her brood. Now, thinking about reconsidering his life choices, he suggests helping them find the cranium rats that they seek.
