<Pan> ON THE FAR HORIZON WE HAVE THE PARTHENON, ONE OF THE PRIDES OF DELPHI!
DELPHI?
WE'RE IN CORSICA, YOU GOAT-HEADED FOOL!
CORSICA?
FAT CHANCE, YOU FOOL HEADED GOAT!
WE'RE IN DELPHI!
<Matt> UH, TRY ATHENS, GUYS!
THE PARTHENON WAS BUILT IN THE MID-5TH CENTURY B.C.
TO HONOR THE GREEK GODDESS ATHENA.
<Digit> I KNEW THAT!
<Both> YOU DID WELL, I KNEW MATT KNEW IT.
THE KID'S A WALKIN' ENCYCLOPEDIA OF GEEK MYTHOLOGY!
<Inez> THAT'S GREEK MYTHOLOGY, DIDGE.
<Jackie> WHERE'S EVERYBODY GOING?
<Pan> TO LISTEN TO THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES.
<Pin> WHEN THE MUSIC PLAYS, ALL IS RIGHT ON OUR CYBERSITE.
HAPPENS THREE TIMES A DAY.
<Pan> TWICE!
NOON AND, AH... SUNSET!
<Matt> WHAT COULD BE BETTER?
A VACATION AND A ROCK CONCERT!
<Inez> A SIREN, A MUSE, APOLLO AND A BEAST.
<Matt> CHECK IT OUT - CYBER-TV!
ZEUS SAYS THAT IF THE BAND DOESN'T PLAY THE MUSIC EXACTLY RIGHT, IT WILL LEAD TO TOTAL CHAOS AND CACOPHONY.
CHAOS AND WHAT?
NOISE!
IF THE MUSIC ISN'T JUST RIGHT, THE BALANCE OF OUR CYBERSITE WILL BE DESTROYED!
MAN, TALK ABOUT PRESSURE!
<Hacker> WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?!
WHERE ARE YOU?!
WE'RE IN, BOSS.
WE'RE BACKSTAGE.
WANT ANY AUTOGRAPHS WHILE WE'RE HERE?
JUST MESS UP THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES.
<MC> WHAT'S UP, DUDES?
<Both> GROOVY!
GROOVY?
<Buzz> HEY, THE GROUP MUST BE IN HERE.
I'M SO HANDSOME I SHOULD BE CAST IN BRONZE!
<Himeropa> HATE TO TELL YOU, APOLLO, HONEY, BUT BIG MUSCLES WENT OUT WITH HERCULES.
MY UNIQUE SENSE OF STYLE IS WHAT OUR FANS CRAVE!
I WEEP FOR YOU BOTH.
IF NOT FOR THE POETIC INSPIRATION THAT BURNS WITHIN MY TORTURED SOUL, OUR BAND WOULD BE, LIKE, A MERE NOTHING.
YOUR INSPIRATION, CALLIOPE?!
PERHAPS YOU'RE FORGETTING THE BEAUTIFUL TONE I BRING TO MY GONG!
YOU PLAY WITH THE SUBTLETY OF A CYCLOPS, APOLLO.
IT'S MY HORN THAT WHIPS PEOPLE INTO A FRENZY!
NO, CHILDREN.
OUR GROUP WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT THE INTENSE SPIRITUALITY I BRING TO MY LYRE.
AND OUR SONGS WOULDN'T BE ANYTHING IF I DIDN'T - <Himeropa> YEAH, YEAH, RIGHT!
<Calliope> WE KNOW.
<Apollo> WHO CARES?!
I CARE.
<Buzz> HEY, AH, BEAST!
AH, Y - YOU WANT A DONUT?
<MC> AND NOW, THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR.
OUR FIRST MUSICIAN IS THE GREEK GOD OF PROPHECY, ARCHERS AND MUSICAL INSPIRATION.
LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR APOLLO!
THE ONLY WAY ODYSSEUS COULD RESIST THIS NEXT LITTLE LADY WAS TO TIE HIMSELF TO A MAST!
SAY HI TO EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE SIREN: HIMEROPA!
THAT IS SO COOL!
I HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO DO THAT.
HERE SHE IS - JUST BACK FROM INSPIRING PLATO'S REPUBLIC.
HOLD YOUR CHITONS FOR EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE MUSE: CALLIOPE!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST!
HIS HAIR MAY BE A TANGLED MESS.
HIS SMILE MAY NOT LAUNCH A THOUSAND SHIPS!
BUT HE'S THE BEST DARNED DRUMMER ON FOUR HOOVES!
GIVE IT UP FOR...
THE BEAST!
<Crowd> THAT'S THE TICKET!
ALRIGHT!
WAY TO GO UMM, HERE HE IS: THE BEAST!
<Himeropa> WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
<Apollo> LET'S PLAY.
WHAT ABOUT THE BEAST?
AH, WHO NEEDS HIM, ANYWAY?!
IT SURE DIDN'T SOUND LIKE THIS ON THE VIDEO.
THEY'RE TOTALLY OFF!
YOU CAN'T EVEN CLAP TO IT!
REFRESH MY MEMORY.
WHAT DID ZEUS SAY WILL HAPPEN IF THE MUSIC ISN'T EXACTLY RIGHT?
CHAOS AND CACOPHONY!
TOTAL DESTRUCTION!!
YOU THINKIN', WHAT I'M THINKIN'?
<All> YEP!
HACKER!
<Hacker> IT'S WORKING!
THE MUSIC IS AWFUL.
SOON THIS SITE WILL BE MINE!
HA-HA-HA!
<MC> THE ONLY WEIRD THING I SAW WERE THESE TWO ROADIES WANDERING AROUND BACKSTAGE.
TALL METAL GUY WITH FUNNY LOOKIN' HORNS THAT WENT ZZZZZ!.
AND A SHORT STUBBY ONE EATIN' A DONUT!
BUZZ AND DELETE!
IF BUZZ AND DELETE WERE HERE - HACKER CAN'T BE FAR AWAY!
AND SOMETHING TELLS ME, IF WE FIND HACKER - WE'LL FIND THE BEAST!
MOTHERBOARD!
IT LOOKS LIKE YOU KNOW-WHO MADE OFF WITH THE BEAST!
<Motherboard> MUST FIND HIM BEFORE THE SUN SETS!
IF BAND PLAYS JUST RIGHT BY THEN... SITE WILL BE SAVED!
DON'T WORRY, WE'LL FIND HIM.
<Motherboard> IF NOT, ONE OF YOU MUST REPLACE THE BEAST.
SO BAND CAN PLAY!
<Inez> WAIT A SECOND?
YOU MEAN TAKE HIS PLACE IN THE BAND AND PLAY HIS PART?
<Motherboard> YES!
SITUATION DESPERATE!
HOW CAN WE TAKE THE BEAST'S PLACE?
I MEAN, ALL WE KNOW IS HE BEATS THE DRUM.
BUT WE DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHEN IN THE SONG HE DOES IT.
<Matt> LET'S ASK THE OTHERS IN THE BAND WHAT THE BEAST'S PART IS.
THEY HAVE TO KNOW.
WHILE YOU'RE DOIN' THAT, I'LL LOOK FOR THE BEAST AND THE HACK PACK!
THERE'S NO TIME TO WASTE!
<Jackie> CATCH UP WITH YOU LATER, MATT.
<Apollo> (WEEPING) <Apollo> I WAS BAD!
ME - THE GREEK GOD OF MUSIC!
WHAT WILL I TELL ZEUS?
<Matt> EXCUSE ME... MR. APOLLO?
AH, A FAN!
COME TO FAWN AT MY FEET!
UH, THANKS.
BUT I UH, I REALLY CAME TO HELP.
HELP?
IF I CAN FIND OUT WHAT WENT WRONG WITH YOUR MUSIC, MAYBE WE CAN FIX IT BY SUNSET.
IT WAS ALL HIMEROPA'S FAULT!
THAT HAIR-OBSESSED STAGE HOG!
SHE THREW US OFF!
I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE THE BEAST DIDN'T PLAY.
THE BEAST?
WHO NEEDS THE BEAST?!
ALL HE DOES IS BANG THAT DRUM OF HIS!
AH, HE'S SO LOUD IT GIVES ME A HEADACHE.
WELL, WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE BEAST NOW - BUT IN CASE WE CAN'T FIND HIM IN TIME, CAN YOU TELL ME WHEN DURING THE SONG HE BEATS THE DRUM?
LET'S SEE.
HE ALWAYS STARTS US OFF WITH A BEAT.
THAT'S ALL I CAN REMEMBER.
OKAY, SO HE STARTS.
THEN WHAT DO YOU DO?
<Apollo> I COUNT TO THREE, STRIKING MY GONG ON THREE.
<Apollo> LIKE THIS: ONE, TWO THREE, ONE, TWO, THREE.
AND YOU KEEP GOING?
OVER AND OVER - THE GONG ON THREE.
I REPEAT MY PART UNTIL THE SONG IS OVER.
IT IS NOT AS EASY AS YOU THINK.
<Matt> SO THAT'S THE DEAL, GUYS.
THE BEAST STARTS THEM OFF.
THEN APOLLO COUNTS AND STRIKES HIS GONG ON THREE.
<Inez> HOW MANY TIMES DOES HE DO THAT?
<Matt> TILL THE SONG ENDS.
WHENEVER HE REACHES THREE - BANG!
HE HITS THE GONG.
<Jackie> GOOD JOB, MATT.
SEEMS LIKE APOLLO'S PART IS SOME KIND OF SOUND PATTERN THAT REPEATS OVER AND OVER.
<Inez> I BET THE OTHERS HAVE SOUND PATTERNS IN THEIR PARTS, TOO!
MAYBE IF WE FIGURE OUT ALL THE INSTRUMENT PATTERNS, WE'LL DISCOVER THE PART THAT'S MISSING, SO WE CAN PLAY THE DRUMS IF WE HAVE TO!
I'LL LOG IN APOLLO'S PATTERN.
<Motherboard> HURRY!
MOUNT OLYMPUS IS BEGINNING TO FALL!
