RUN FOR IT, BOSS!
Hacker: AH!
OOOOOOH!
AH!
WHAT?
WHAT!
CAN'T YOU SEE I'M TAKING A CAT NAP!
OK, OK.
BUT THIS BETTER BE GOOD.
CATNIP!
HACKER HAS THE EYE OF ROM!
CUE THE BOULDER!
All: AHHHHHHH!
WHOOOAAAA!
WHOOOAAAA!
Binky: NO!
THEY'VE ESCAPED!
DO YOU REALIZE WHAT THIS MEANS?
EVERY AFTERNOON AT FIVE, THE SHADOW OF THE PYRAMID LINES UP WITH THE MOUTH OF THE NILE!
AND IF THE EYE OF ROM ISN'T BACK IN ITS SHRINE BY THEN... DON'T ASK!
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!
Digit: IF ONLY WE HAD THAT ENCRYPTOR CHIP BACK, MOTHERBOARD WOULD BE HER OLD SELF AGAIN!
(ring) WHOA!
HELLO?
BINKY HERE, WITH AN INTER CYBERSITE CALL FOR HELP.
YEAH, WELL, DIGIT HERE.
MOTHERBOARD'S HAVING A CHECK-UP.
SHE CAN'T HELP ANYBODY RIGHT NOW.
WELL, HACKER RIPPED OFF THE EYE OF ROM AND I NEED IT BACK, PRESTO!
DEAL WITH IT, BINKY.
I'VE GOT MY OWN TROUBLES.
NOW YOU LISTEN HERE, IF I DON'T GET THE EYE OF ROM BACK IN PLACE BY FIVE THIS AFTERNOON, MY PYRAMID WILL COLLAPSE INTO A PILE OF DESERT SAND!
I NEED SOME HELP AND I NEED IT NOW!
ABOUT THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD MAKE ME JUMP, IS IF YOU TOLD ME YOU HAD THE ENCRYPTOR CHIP!
WHAT IF I SAID I KNEW WHERE IT WAS?
YOU'RE PULLIN' MY WINGS!
DIGIT...
FRIEND.
TELL YOU WHAT, YOU HELP ME GET WHAT I WANT, I'LL HELP YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, PAL?
HMMM, BINKY'S AS SLIPPERY AS A CASE OF HACKER WIG GEL!
BUT IF IT MEANS MAKING MOTHERBOARD BETTER, MAYBE IT'S WORTH A SHOT!
YOU'VE GOT A DEAL!
WHERE ARE THOSE GUYS?
Kids: AHHH!
Inez: HI, DIDGE!
Digit: LET'S MOVE IT, EARTHLIES.
IF WE CAN GET THE EYE OF ROM BACK FROM HACKER, BINKY SAYS SHE'LL LEAD US TO THE ENCRYPTOR CHIP!
MAYBE THIS TIME WE'LL REALLY GET IT!
LOOKS LIKE BINKY BEEFED UP THE SECURITY- SINCE WE WERE HERE LAST.
Digit: IT WON'T BUDGE!
Binky: LISTEN UP, OUT THERE!
TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, TURN THE HEADS ON EITHER SIDE UPSIDE DOWN AND THE MIDDLE ONE SIDEWAYS.
Matt: CHECK.
SHE SAID TURN THE HEADS ON EITHER SIDE UPSIDE DOWN.
THEN THE MIDDLE HEAD SIDEWAYS.
Inez: SMOOTH.
MANAGEABLE.
AND EFFICIENT.
LET'S GO!
Jackie: I REMEMBER THE WAY FROM LAST TIME!
BINKY'S CHAMBER IS DOWN THAT HALL!
Binky: NOT SO FAST, TOMB RAIDERS!
WE JUST HAD A ROBBERY HERE!
SHUT THE DOOR AND LOCK IT BACK UP!
Matt: LOCK IT UP?
HOW?
Binky: JUST PUT IT BACK THE WAY YOU FOUND IT, WHATEVER YOU DID, JUST UNDO IT!
UNDO WHAT WE DID?
Binky: EXACTLY!
DO AN INVERSE OPERATION.
I GOTTA RUN, MUMSIE'S MAKING LIKE HE'S WAKING UP.
Digit: WHAT'S A REVERSE OPERATION?
Inez: INVERSE, DIDGE.
IT'S LIKE THE OPPOSITE.
IF I STEP FORWARD... TO DO THE INVERSE, I STEP BACK.
Digit: I STILL DON'T GET IT.
Matt: I THINK I DO.
LOOK.
HERE'S MY BACKPACK.
THE TOP FLAP IS LOOSE, RIGHT?
SO NOW I FASTEN IT.
THEN TO PUT IT BACK THE WAY IT WAS, I UNDO WHAT I JUST DID.
LIKE THIS!
THAT'S BEAUTIFUL!
I'VE BEEN INVERSING MY ENTIRE LIFE AND NEVER EVEN KNEW IT!
Matt: OKAY!
WE TURNED THE MIDDLE HEAD SIDEWAYS TO OPEN THE DOOR.
SO TO DO THE INVERSE, WE JUST TURN IT RIGHT SIDE UP TO CLOSE IT!
Jackie: LET'S TRY.
Inez: AND SINCE WE TURNED THESE GUYS UPSIDE DOWN, WE JUST TURN THEM BACK THE WAY THEY WERE!
Matt: INVERSE OPERATION COMPLETE!
LET'S FIND BINKY!
I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT I GIVE NEW MEANING TO THE TERM, CHISELED CHUNK OF CHICKANERY.
BUT NOW, WITH THIS BEAUTATIOUS BAUBLE, I'LL BE UNSTOPPABLE!
THAT'S GREAT, BOSS.
BUT WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT AN EYE OF TOM?
IT'S ROM, YOU DUNCEBUCKET - NOT TOM!
THIS ARTIFACT WILL GIVE ME THE POWER TO WREAK HAVOC UPON THIS SITE AND GET RID OF THAT AGGRAVATING KITTY CAT IN ONE FELL SWOOP!
BETTER YET, A DEMONSTRATION!
HA HA.
OH, MIGHTY EYE OF ROM!
CONJURE ME A MONSTER OF MONUMENTAL MAGNITUDE!
(EVIL LAUGHTER) RIBIT.
WHAT?
A GIANT FROG?
I DON'T WANT A FROG!
OH, MIGHTY EYE OF ROM... BY THE POWER OF THE ANCIENT SCRIBES, REACH INTO... YAAAA!
OOF.
THAT'S IT!
JUST GET RID OF THE STUPID FROG, OKAY?
Digit: HEY, BINKS!
Binky: SHHHH!
IF HE FINDS OUT HACKER NABBED THE EYE OF ROM HE'LL TURN ME INTO A WALKING FUR BALL!
All: WHOA!
Jackie: WHAT'S GOING ON?!
Binky: TROUBLE, THAT'S WHAT!
MEOW!
HACKER'S FIGURED OUT HOW TO USE THE MAGIC!
All: WHOA!
HIGHER!

THIS MAY SOUND WEIRD, BUT EGYPTIAN WORMS ARE TICKLISH!

FOR MOTHERBOARD!
Buzz: I DON'T BELIEVE IT, DEEDEE!
THE WORM'S CRACKIN' UP.
YEAH, HE'S CUTE, HUH?
SOMETHIN' TELLS ME THE BOSS AIN'T GONNA BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS.
Hacker: DON'T JUST STAND THERE - DO SOMETHING!
WHY DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO DO THINGS MYSELF?!
OH!
MIGHTY EYE OF ROM, SEND ME ANOTHER WORM, PREFERABLY, ONE THAT'S NOT TICKLISH!
NOOOOO!
ONE EYE OF ROM, COMING UP!
YOIKES!
Hacker: WHAT?
Digit: YOU LOSE, HACKER!
THIS IS JUST NOT MY DAY!
Binky: OLD MUMSIE WILL NEVER KNOW IT WAS GONE.
Jackie: GLAD WE COULD HELP, BINKY.
NOW IT'S TIME TO TURN OVER THE ENCRYPTOR CHIP.
THE CHIP?
OH, RIGHT, THE CHIP.
Digit: HM!
LISTEN HERE, YOU FIBBING FELINE - WE MADE A DEAL, THE EYE FOR THE CHIP!
WHERE IS IT?
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, CHOO!
DON'T GET YOUR FEATHERS IN AN UPROAR.
I OVERHEARD SOMEONE AT CAMELS'R'US MENTION THAT THE CHIP WAS INSIDE HERE.
Matt: A SPHINX!
Inez: COOL!
HOW DO WE GET THERE?
Binky: THE CATMOBILE!
I MODELED IT AFTER MYSELF.
Matt: WHOA!
TOTALLY AWESOME!
Binky: IT'S EVEN GOT A GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM.
A GLOBAL... WHAT?
Binky: THIS LITTLE GEM RIGHT HERE.
NO NEED FOR DIRECTIONS-- IT'LL GUIDE YOU RIGHT TO THE SPHINX.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS STEER!
Jackie: BUT HOW DO WE FIND OUR WAY BACK?
Binky: EASY!
JUST PUSH THIS BUTTON... AND THE GPS WILL UNDO THE TRIP.
Matt: SOUNDS GREAT, BINKY.
BUT WHEN WE GET TO THE SPHINX, HOW DO WE FIND THE CHIP?
Binky: THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE RIGHT HERE.
ANY QUESTIONS?
Digit: NOPE!
BUT WE'LL JUST HANG ONTO THIS TILL WE GET BACK!
Binky: WHAT?
YOU DON'T TRUST ME?
ALL RIGHT!
ENCRYPTOR CHIP - HERE WE COME!
