Hopefully Lilybell will consider Imitation to be the highest form of flattery

To hear people talk about Mindo Lupindo, I was expecting a combination of Dr. Frankenstein, Jekyll and Moreau with at least a little Dr. No thrown in. But he was like a greasy stoner nerd with bad hair.



Gallagher and I found the tapes that Desmond left. One was in the sheriff's office and the other underneath the apartments. I can't give you details, all secrety cool.

Gallagher's vhs player is busted and so we can't play the tapes right away. Damn ancient Earth technology, they should have gone betamax. Desmond left Gallagher video games. Desmond is a strange...uh good guy.

So, I'm sitting on the chilltastic box, and some tweaky guy is banging on the door of Lily's old apartment. Gallagher runs out and takes his M4 rifle with him grumbling something about Mindo.

Gallagher is fast, by the time I catch up, Gallagher is on the veranda of LilyBell's old apartment and holding Mindo back at gunpoint.



Mindo seemed oblivious.

[6:48] Mindo Lupindo calls out softly "lily. Lily. Open the door".

[6:48] Hale's Door: Mindo Lupindo knocked at the door

[6:48] Mindo Lupindo: Lily I have AuroraBlue. Open the door.

[6:48] Gallagher Aeon: Lily dont live there no more

[6:51] Jai Raghilda: no.

[6:51] Mindo Lupindo: Why wouldn't you open the door.

[6:52] Mindo Lupindo reaches out to the girl

[6:52] Jai Raghilda: no

[6:52] Mindo Lupindo: Lily please. I....AuroraBlue..she's...

[6:52] Jai Raghilda: uh oh. Umm Mindo, why don't we sit in the courtyard

[6:52] Mindo Lupindo looks dazed, and very confused.

[6:55] Mindo Lupindo looks at her "Lily?"

[6:55] Jai Raghilda: where am cub? No see. Naughty cub, where am you?

[6:55] Mindo Lupindo takes a small brush out of his pocket and starts to brush the hair of the girl.

[6:56] Mindo Lupindo stops brushing and looks at his hand, looks at the brush. Cub ...live or die? live or die? live or die?

[6:57] Jai Raghilda: Mindo am sick? too many injections maybe.

[6:57] Mindo Lupindo: Lily. I brought you some shiny paper. (hands her some foil).

[7:00] Jai Raghilda: Gallagher am friend to all, he will go to Mindo Ship. Am not a cat

[7:01] Mindo Lupindo looks up in the sky. "Lily why did you not answer the door? Why do you not come when you are called?"

[7:01] Jai Raghilda: I was not in apartment

[7:01] Mindo Lupindo: I will have to stop if you do not come when you are called.

[7:01] Jai Raghilda: Real girls do that. We go now if you like. And take Gallagher

[7:02] Mindo Lupindo pulls at his own hair in a distraught manner.

[7:02] Jai Raghilda: Gallagher friend to all

[7:02] Mindo Lupindo: Where is the Replicant?

[7:02] Gallagher Aeon: dont know

[7:03] Jai Raghilda: Krenshar is off. Is cub on Mindo Ship?

[7:06] Mindo Lupindo drops her. "I....I....Lily."

[7:06] Jai Raghilda: coughs, gags. "I um... let you do that, now where am cub. Get cub, bring cub."

[7:07] Mindo Lupindo stares into space

[7:07] Jai Raghilda: blinks rapidly. Gallagher am doctor, give you vitamins
