Chapter 4: A Grey Matter
Dr. Landelbrot completes his work on a new void dampener for Juni and an updated version for Nyx. The Library Faerie uncovers a dusty tome that may hold some answers while word travels that more lands are being targeted.

Dr. Landelbrot
At last, we have enough void essence! Wrench please!
Nyx
Please Doctor. Please save Juni.


Dr. Landelbrot
I believe we are closing in, but this void dampening process is highly complex… Wrench!
Scintilly
Bzzzt. Wrench incoming. Estimated arrival in 3 seconds.


Dr. Landelbrot
Almost there… Not quite… Confound it!

Dr. Landelbrot
Although it pains me to admit it, I may require a fresh pair of eyes to help me finish initialization.
Scintilly
Bzzzt. Technology is beyond our scope. Requesting assistance from outside operators…

Chapter 4 Page 1 – (Scene 7) Void Dampener Initialization
SunnyNeo's Analysis: As predicted from the last page of the third chapter, Dr. Landelbrot is going to be needing assistance in working on the Void Dampener. Helping Dr. Landelbrot with no mistakes will unlock an achievement (Go with the Flow) and unlock 10 points

SunnyNeo's Analysis: We don't know about you, but we are getting a lot of COVID vibes. The device that Neopians assisted Dr. Landelbrot to create seems to be a breathing mechanism to help eliminate the void toxins. At this point, the void does not seem just extra terrestrial but rather a spore of some kind. But if the void is a spore causing Juni and Nyx to look void-like, or purple, then what is causing the grey?

SunnyNeo's Analysis: A sense of relief that Juni seems to be okay, but the void is still apparent. In addition, the item that you receive when reading the comic is glasses from the Library Faerie. The name "Seshatias" is officially given to the Library Faerie who had no name until now. Perhaps Seshatias will be a prominent or helpful character in the plot coming soon!

SunnyNeo's Analysis: We are exploding with delight to see not only the Library Faerie having a full identity with a name, but to further their lore and have her enter with a disability. For the past year, our Pharmacy in Neopia Central has been having new inclusive items for pets. To see that inclusivity is also found with faeries is making the Neopian community jump up for joy.

SunnyNeo's Analysis: Our minds have been wrapped around the magnified code found on the page. The code, QOT GQOTHXLEKVAT OLKMKAN XSS
, has been worked out as an anagram or through Caesar cipher. The community has been working hard together to figure out the code only to come up with (as of now): OUR GOURMANDIZER UNIFIES ALL
. The question is, what is it that unifies it all?

Baelia
Nyx!
Tavi
Juni!


Luxinia
Glad to see you are both well!
Queen Fyora
We have no time for pleasantries. Kiko Lake and all its inhabitants have been attacked. Its colour drained…


King Altador
It is as we feared… Clearly, this threat looms over more than just a handful of lands. No, this is an act of war on all of Neopia.
Queen Fyora
Based on their trajectory, we believe they are heading towards Neopia Central.


Nyx
Neopia Central!
Juni
Yip?


Queen Fyora
Many of the Defenders of Neopia are now grey, and the rest are battling the shades in Meridel and Brightvale. Baelia, we need your help, you may be the only one who can stop this grey.
Baelia
I… I…


Tavi
Don’t worry B, I’ll be right beside you!
Luxinia
And she will have my support, my queen.


Queen Fyora
Nyx, Juni? What of you?
Nyx
I’m here to find my brother. Whatever it takes.


Juni
Yip!
Queen Fyora
I see… And where did you last see him?


Nyx
We had a small hovel in Neopia Central, across the way from Uni’s clothing. His name is Ozzy. He’s small, shy, and always scared. Adorable actually… I have to get back to him as soon as possible. He hasn’t heard from me in weeks… He must be worried sick.
Queen Fyora
We will find him, but for now, we must concentrate on the safety of Neopia. Your experience with the void could prove invaluable. Help us defend the people of Neopia Central first, including your brother, and you have my word that we will help you find him once the dust settles.


Nyx
….Deal.
Tavi
Guess that makes us a team, eh?


Juni
Yip yip!
Queen Fyora
Excellent. Our Walein friend here will take you to Neopia Central. Due to an accident at the lab ray, he’s grown enormous. Not what we were intending, but useful nonetheless. Please, leave at once.


Walein
OoooOoOoOooooOoooOooo
Tavi
Somehow, enormous still seems like an understatement!


Luxinia
Walein! So wonderful to see you again.
Baelia
And he’s, um… safe to ride?


Luxinia
You’ve nothing to fear! Despite his size, Walein here is a huge softie.
Nyx
Let’s get moving. If Neopia Central is next, we need to get there as soon as we can.

Chapter 4 Page 7 – (Scene 8) Bound for Neopia Central
SunnyNeo's Analysis: We are excited to see a team begin to solidify to help save Neopia! We are wondering who could be Nyx's brother, and since we do know that Nyx has traveled to the future, would the brother still be there? Would he be the same or different?
