Quotes 

• Dr. Frumpus Croid : [4th Holojournal viewed]  Holodiary 003. It has been twenty-two years since I lost Mr. Dinkles. I checked the fjords of Rank-Arun, the meadows of Tortem Fi, and even the bluffs of Vendros. Nothing. But I know he's out there. Poor, poor Mr. Dinkles. I shudder to think of the countless birthdays he's spent as a slave to Nevo's machinations. What plans does that traitor have for these creatures? I must act before it's too late! Ihave repurposed an old seritor drone to scour the planet for his whereabouts. Using an example of Mr. Dinkles' DNA, Ephemeris will run a comparative analysis of every life form it encounters until it finds a match. Without Mr. Dinkles, Nevo's plans will crumble and Magus will be safe from his treachery.

• Dr. Frumpus Croid : [5th Holojournal entry viewed]  Holodiary 004. It has been fifty years since Mr. Dinkles was taken, and my rescue plan has backfired in a most disastrous way. The directive matrix that restricts Ephemeris to this planet has been deleted. The on-board surveillance camera shows that this was no accident - this was Nevo's doing! This is twice he has taken what does not belong to him. Only now, he has something that will allow him to expand his plan beyond the confines of Magnus. Even now, Ephemeris grows under Nevo's control. He's modifying it for interplanetary travel, extending its reach further and further into the cosmos. I cannot wait any longer. I must venture Uzo Cityfor a long overdue confession, and to convince the Tharpods to stop my friend at all costs. We must succeed. For if we fail, dark times will befall the planet... Or worse, the universe itself...

• Dr. Frumpus Croid : [3rd Holojournal viewed]  Holodiary entry: 002. A heinous crime has been committed. This morning, I awoke to find my laboratory in shambles. The vectromorpic tricilloscope was smashed, the crack-resistant flume canisters were cracked - and worst of all... an egregious crime has been committed! The plans for the protomorphic energy extractor - gone! All that was left behind was a recipe for drophyd stew! Mr. Dinkles! My friend. My muse! Someone had taken him, but it couldn't be... No... Nevo. What have you done?

• Dr. Frumpus Croid : [2nd Holojournal viewed]  Holodiary entry: 001. Creatures! For years, they've been something of a rite of passage on Magnus. Their very presence seems to enrich and motivate us all. It is a bond no one has ever sought to understand, until now... Using a complex array of technological thing-a-ma-doos, my collegue Nevo Binklemeyer and I have been investigating the effect of creatures on their owners. Take my own companion, Mr. Dinkles. His mere presence seems to amplify my talents as a paradoxologist But observe him through the lens of a vectomorphic tricilloscope... What strange manifestation is this? Have we found some new form of cosmic radiation? We must learn more about this new energy. Nevo believes he can modify the protomorphic energy extractors in order to seperate the energy from it's host. Tomorrow will be a great day for science!

• Dr. Frumpus Croid : [1st Holojournal viewed]  Holodiary entry: 005. They came during the night. Hundreds of them. And they attacked without warning. I stood atop Zuzzo Fields, and watched in horror as Commander Spog and his army lay waste to Uzo City. Through ribbons of fire I saw my creation, bloated and terrible, a deadly moon hanging silently amongst the destruction - Ephemeris. What plans does my enemy have for this ark? I can't explain it, but I feel as if some dark fate haunts us all from the future and Ephemeris is the key. These... things will not stop on Magnus. We are simply the first steps. And I, Dr. Frumpus Croid, cannot shake the feeling that it was my work that made it possible...
