Back inside the Veefa, Feekar, the Bollyck, said to Lasper, “Any other brilliant ideas?” Lasper said, “I have one more idea, but I’m not sure how brilliant it is.” Lasper pulled out a wrench-like stick with two glowy bits one at each end and said, “A biveefarcator.” Feekar pointed at it and said, “A device that let’s you access all of a Veefa’s memories?” Lasper saidd, “Yes.” Feekar said, “I have two questions.
