 I am glad that I left with everyone at the station because we have started on a great journey together. We have decided to go to the institute together. From there we would discover what happens next. The journey took 3 days to get there and we each took turns driving so that way there was no lost time. 
Something very strange occurred when we arrived at the institute. There was nobody at the gate to let us in. I thought it was codswallop because you would think someone would be there. The minute we go out of the car Hingle Mcringleberry, Quatro Quatro, and Sequester Migriclle M.D. were up to there usual Shenanigans. We went inside the facility and discovered again that no one was there. In the office we saw that it was filled with sand and camel drawings. It took us several hours and then the Scholar finally figured out what the drawings meant. We were to find a camel and it will show us the way. In the back or the lot there were dozens of camels there and the minute we sat on one they took off towards the ocean. The ride was Ephemeral because we did not walk that far before we stopped at the ocean. We borrowed the boat that that was there and Quatro Quatro shot a gun and the bullet Ricochet the steal frame and put a hole in the boat. We had to think fast and decided to patch it with mungo. After going for about a week with no end in sight we reached land. When we got off the boat the camels just disappeared and we learned that we have reached are destination. The scholar had announced that we had arrived in Egypt.
