The rest of our items are to 'steer' our Space Opera Chain Story forward, given the past 3 weeks have seen *a lot* of material added, so everyone doing that needs to recheck the new frontiers of what we've got... For Scavenger Hunt, fill in the gaps marked in *'s for the points each mentions...

For sanity's sake, this Space Opera is, to first approximation, a cross between Mozart's Magic Flute and a lampoon of Robert Jordan's 'Wheel of Time' series.

As per Robert Jordan, numerous secondary sources are nodded to in character name design, character function, place names and so on.

Secondary lampoons we've included so far include of: Dune, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Monty Python, Arturian Legends, Norse Mythology, Downton Abbey, and Alice in Wonderland, as well as Mozart's 'Requiem' and 'Don Giovanni', and occasional mention of Sheila and her Dog Society, CakeFaeries and CUSFS customs, alongside some references to previous CUSFS chainstories. Oh, and George Martin's novellas from the 1970's: the ones on Ethics called 'Tuf's Voyaging' :) For sure, don't worry if you only know 'the secondaries that everybody knows' :) It just gives some ideas of 'what to netsearch in order to explain what some of the character names mean', while at the same time giving you license to build in whatever further secondaries of your own choice :)

So, Draft 3 of Part II of Die Zauberkarotte reads as follows.

PART II OF DIE ZAUBERKAROTTE

II.1 Duckquiem

"Frumiousmantisssnoises" *upgrade to supercalli-variant: 20 points * amidst clanking of chains offstage left.

Opening Lamentational Dirge

[We now have the music for this]

Focus on the top-ends of four aixeromorphic coffins lieing centrestage on plinths under a Memory of Light.

Duckrimosa

[We now have the music for this]

1 opening bar:

Cygneto'raken Altos: "Quieeeerk, Duckrimosa, Duckrimoooooosa."

Supersoprano Duckling Choir: "Quieieieierk, Diecriemisa, Diecriemieieieiesa."

Cygneto'raken, backed by bass section of Orchestra: "The Mantissss has got Mergansers"

Cygneto'raken Altos: "Quieeeerk, Duckrimosa."

Supersoprano Duckling Choir: "Quieieieierk, Diecriemisa."

Cygneto'raken Altos: "Curse Mary Creepy-Crawley."

Supersoprano Duckling Choir: "Dimn Diewntin Iebbiey."

Cygneto'raken Altos: "Quieeeerk, Duckrimosa.

Supersoprano Duckling Choir: "Quieieieierk, Diecriemisa."

Cygneto'raken Altos: "Bravely they Stood Their Ground"

Supersoprano Duckling Choir: "Quieieieierk, Nonieliermieng Tiey Gin Niezzle irienge ieniejieh"

Cygneto'raken Altos: "Quieeeerk, Duckrimosa, Duckrimoooooosa."

Supersoprano Duckling Choir: "Quieieieierk, Diecriemisa, Diecriemieieieiesa."

Cygneto'raken Altos: "You now rest in the Nightponde"

Together: "Dona vobis Duckquiem"/"Dieni viebies Dieckquieiem"

[Focus has pulled back to reveal each coffin's lower end is draped in the NonAlarming-Toy-Gun-Nozzle-Orange Anajah's distinctive megalanic sandarakinochromatic circumgorgial Soul-Shawl garmentation.

Further zooming out reveals the Main Cast behind the aixeromorphic coffins, a further, larger coffin on springed mounts. And, finally, the Choir itself, assembled in Stereo, Cygnets Left and Ducklings Right, both clad in Novice-Unwritten-Page-Whiter-Than-White, just as they start to sing Together.]

"Their sacrifice shall always be remembered here" soulemnly intoned the Paddledabbleshine Empress-Goddess Pineapple-Duck Empress of the Night.

"Cut down to a Duck holding their ground, so that the Mergansocopters with the SwallowtailSaliva could take aim." condecorirespectoadded Lady High Captain Commander-General Sherahaada.

"My Peoples will join you in this war" bombastarticulated RegalBearde 'The Axisymmetric', Third of His Name, Elastarchjesty of the PogoStickBearded Peoples, opposite the spring-mounted coffin. "He was our Finest Athlete and Champion for several generations..."

"We must take it to HIS remaining client state" said the Pintail Philharmonic Armestra's Conductor-General.

Confutatis, Maledictis

[We now have the music for this]

Menacing Horns' 1-bar orchestral snarl

Pogostick bearded Bases: "Confutatis, Maledictis

Barondstarde Tuffkone

Cornocrati clavibus addictis."

"One should not abandon hope that the HyperMasons would listen to reason." quaquququququarraterjected The Paddledabbleshine aixeroconciliatorily.

Supersoprano Duckling Choir counter-motif: "quieierpla miecim beineidicties."*

* (Footnote): I.e. "Quierpla mecum beneducktis" to a somewhat less piping-high-pitched audience.

"Whereas the Downton Hiveworld still have unaccounted-for troops in the field...

Menacing Horns' 1-bar orchestral snarl backs this up.

"We've had to deal with them before, and know something of their ways..." straterjected Sherahaada.

Supersoprano Duckling Choir counter-motif: "quieierpla miecim beineidicties", now joined by Cygneto'raken Altos, and Astral Lionesses Purritoning, indicating we've attained wide-shot status to fit the front-ends of said *insert supercalli variant, for 20 points * onscreen.

"So we should see if something similar is going on over at Viperstreams" finished The Paddledabbleshine with cucciarabandaceous Avian grace.

Fulva Mirum Spargens

[We now have the music for this]

1-bar Brass overture

Cygneto'raken Altos: "Fulva, mirum spargens sonum

Per sepulchra annorum omnium

Coget Heroes ante quork-ananana-thronum."

[Focus inward toward the Horn in the Paddledabbleshine's left wingtip, all the way down to the inscription on its flared opening on "annorum ominium Coget Heroes", zooming back out to have Sherahaada facing said Pineapple Duck Empress by "ananana-thronum".]

"Take five Astral Lionesses thither, screened by twenty of our best Swanto'raken Crews; you know what to look out for" concludelegted The Paddledabbleshine.

She turned back and left. "And thank you for providing us with such a solemnocampanitollsrealisticsknellspiouslysonorous bell for this service, Foundress Billbella; there is something else I would..."

This conversation's volume rapidly drops off, as the lights fade.

II.2 Swanto'raken over ViperStreams Infirmery

[We've now got a musical score for this; it is Sherahaada's theme tune.]

Swanto'aken-Captain Francesca Drakeneersdottir of the Car-Metallic-Mint-Green Anajah "I Spy with My Little Eye, a poster of a contest for a Rag Blind Date with a Sexy Lempshade..."

Sherahaada's eyebrows perk up

"And we still have four hours before the [insert utterly ridiculous contest] occurs."

"Our smaller Swanto'raken to land silently on the incinerator and [insert ridiculous medlab parody] ventrooves to survey for any lampshade that the [redacted-antagonist] could fit inside" commanded Sherahaada. "SHE's 5'6 and 102 pounds, all of it [redacted specification of deadly bodyparts], thrice as fast as a snake, and with over 70 years of combat experience. Positive sight code NonAlarming-Toy-Gun-Nozzle-Orange."

[* Provide a Figure of the Doubly-Merciless Grannygonnagal Mantissss disguised as a Sexy Lampshade to insert here: 80 points]

[* Insert Most ridiculous medlab parody: the contest the Doctors have been asked to enter in order to go on a shredded curtain prune with said lampshade. Worth 50 points for designing an entry, with extra superlatives for silliest, most waterfowl related, most viper-related, most pogostick beard related, as well as most like the antagonist, most like the antagonist's most famous other character, and most Hippocratic.]

What giveaway feature do you think the Lampshade disguise should possess?

[This has now been given its intended riddle answer as an item: this refers to HER Cat-Animagus Form being rigid to the point of detectability.]

[Insert Figure of Swanto'raken landing on Viperstreams Infirmery roofs (these are basically Giant Swans used to land platoons of experienced AnaeseDuck Warriors and Sorceresses * Double what the previous Items list scored it as *]

Draft material being too rigid within the Sexy Lampshade gives HER position away.

But, for sure, Granny Fights Dirty, and is definitely the most dangerous fighter in the entire Space Opera: the Doubly-Elite Downton-Dowager-Duchess Doubly-Merciless Mantissss Pounceantry Personality Model is to be the only Doubly-Elite Sillitary Unit in the entire set of Sillitary Symbols being built. This is indicated by two vertical strokes rather than one, which are of course shaped as HER Pointy Killing Appendages... [80 points for producing this piece of graphic art, 80 more for producing one for Swanto'rakenborne Merganserines]

As to how dangerous a '100-pound octagenarian' can be, in this insectoidal incarnation she's revealed to be approximately 40 times faster than Legolas, and harbouring enough venom to explode an entire pod of baleviathans.

We already knew from previous stories that SHE files HER teeth into not Points but Cusps, and single-pointed-appendagely (i.e. single handedly for human readers, or single wingtipedly for Avian readers :) ) sunk the Titanic :S.

We're now told SHE carried out this act in the manner of a piece of railgun ordinance, because, yup, SHE's that fast, and HER Pointy-Appendages-of-Death have matured and seasoned to that kind of hardness.

SHE decapitates 13 AnaeseDucks with the first 3 sweeps of HER Pointy Killing Appendages, capsizes a Swanto'raken by disembowelling it with HER teeth filed into not Points but Cusps, crushing its spilled crew of German-Cherry-Jaffa-Cake Vermillion Anajah Merganserines underneath.

SHE railgunlaunches HERSELF through a blocking Astral Lioness' thigh, but takes a splatter of RapidhardeningResin SwallowtailSaliva from Blue Haired Lady's Battle-Teapot. In HER slowed down state, SHE Turns, pounces seventy metres up into the air to put a Pointy Killing Appendage through a Permanent-Assurance Crimson Anajah Swanto'raken's eye, cuts down two further platoons of Merganserines on landing and first rebound as easily as carving a cake, and smashes one Astral Lioness into another as Sherahaada 2-taps HER with RapidhardeningResin, leaving HER stuck to the floor, three members of the the New York Police Department Protect-and-Serve Blue Anajah still thrashing about impaled on HER Terrible Left Appendage. SHE bites one of their heads off and nonchalantly knocks the remaining Permanent-Assurance Crimson Anajah Swanto'raken out of the sky with HER venomous spittle discard thereof.

Flying several times higher, the remaining Swanto'raken, bearing the distinctive Car-Metallic Mint-Green and Rampaging-Trotskyite Radical-Red of the First and Third Airborne, repeatedly bombard HER until SHE's trapped inside a blob of amber several metres thick, like the Terrifying Antediluvian Fossil that SHE is... HER teeth remain bared in rictus snarl, somewhat over 2 feet long.

SHE's now revealed to have been the real reason for the victories at both Trafalgar and Waterloo, though 'The Government' covered this up due to concerns about 'having to deal with the Prussians next'. [Apparently there's willfully misinterpreted quotes existing to back this up: 40 bonus points for finding the correct source material :) 10 points per similarly willfully-misinterpreted quote from the same period drama.]

So, indeed there are piles of dead Giant Swans and permanently-crippled Astral Lionesses, never mind decapitated or disembowelled Sorcerous Ducks by the score, some in the final throes of agony of [*insert veteran mantissss poison's physicological effects on ananatomy*, for 5 pts each, 10 max].

But the short of it is that, outnumbered around 500 to 1, including 10 Astral Lionesses and 2 of the other best fighters in the Space Opera - the Golden-Circle and Sherahaada members of the Three Ladies - Granny ends up carted off to ASBOcobban prison covered in several cubic metres of SwallowtailSaliva AmberResin.

The nominal Mr ASBO is moreover concurrently released as a Reformed Character, thus answering one team's prayers, at least in the Space Opera's own universe.

These last two items are reported by the Barbarian for Amyrlin Duck TV.]

III.3 CornoStatus' Bragging Aria

CornoStatus (Bass):

"First HyperMason Braem Ashapa'man's revolutionary horn-aaarge,

Was succeeded by Xipe O'Lews' 90 metres of corn-aaarge!

Depronged by Sir Gawayne-du-Pont' 2-3-1 metre Odd-Vaunt-Aaarge,

Butted back by Bobby Barratt-Black-of-Hair's 6-4-0-rack-aaarge!

Such corny-illustriousnesses I beust to be my-ewn line-aaarge,

Euvar whom I moreuvar verily heuld furthargh Odd-Vaunt-Aaarge!

With my very-ewn CornoStratospheric 1-0-0-3-metre pack-aarge!!!

For I do lack sufficiently in the department of brain-aarge,

to use now-trending zirceunium nine-inch nails to gain Odd-Vaut-Aaarge!"

[20 points for explaining who each of these gentlemen may be. Superlatives on: answer most out from the intended.]

* * *

[As this is sung, increasingly fast pullbacks hone out from the faces of each predecessor to the full width of their antlers.

Other than giving us fair indication that when we see how far CornoStatus'horns extend offstage, even on the Opera House backstage wall, we can barely still make out the rest of his body in the centre.]

* * *

CornoStatus [exclaiming]: Why, this Faunling has this immediate predecessor's look!

Everybody looks toward the Barbarian.

Sherahaada [protectively]: Well he does have a horned helmet...

Barbarian [confused]: I made it myself... does this mean I am a HyperMason? ... And that you knew my father? I'd always imagined him to be a drunk, or one of them gold-hatted bastards...

CornoStatus: [pointing to the Triangular Scarlet Palacelodge of All HyperMasonry] That was your father's house...

Sherahaada [beams].

Paddledabbleshine: "But we did come here on other pressing business..."

* * *

II.4 The Softspoken Commandress' Aria

Sherahaada [quietly]: CornuStatus,

to reckoning I bring you...

CornoStatus [boisterously]: But I have the biggest Antlers...

Sherahaada: Cornustatus,

your people are starving...

CornoStatus: I had to import very expensive nails...

Sherahaada: you handed your best lands to the Baronstard...

CornoStatus: But they're 1003 metres wide...

Sherahaada: Yet I will dissuade you, even if it takes 1001 nights...

CornoStatus: But 1003 is bigger than 1001...

Sherahaada: But life is cooperation and not competition.

CornoStatus: Is it rahly? What about my Odd-Vaunt-Aaarge?

Sherahaada: And he's built war factories under that land...

CornoStatus [Alarmed]: Braem Allmighty! Bobby Barratt's Butting-Helmet!

Sherahaada: Time to coax you out of your Antler Addiction...

[Soothingly] SI, SI...

Cornostatus: NO, my people love my expanding rack...

Sherahaada: Isn't it you they love rather? so SI, SI

Cornostatus: BUT NO, because of the prophecies about such times...

Sherahaada: SI, SI... but keep on going...

Cornostatus: The Heroes of the Horns are needed for Tarmon Gai'don, so NO.

Sherahaada: Our prophecies say Heros of the Horn, so SI, SI

Cornostatus: But what does that mean?

Sherahaada: The Horn in that Duck's lap

CornoStatus: But it's tiny, so NO, NO, NO-O-O-O-O-OH!

Sherahaada: Size doesn't matter,

so SI, SI, SI-I-I-I-I!

CornoStatus: But what does it do? (NO?)

Sherahaada: Not Discriminate by Age or Occupation, SI...

Cornostatus: You've lost me: not much brain left (NO?)

Sherahaada: Receive resources from Heroes of All Ages, SI!

Cornostatus: Now, I'm listening, SI!

Sherahaada: Beaming-Scheherezade-SI-SI-SI!

* * *

CornoStatus [excitedly] Does this mean Bobby, Braem and the others will rejoin us?

Paddledabbleshine: Some, if not all, of the Heroes of the Horn are expected to themselves have Horns...

* * *

II.5 Untitled for plot purposes, but bearing a large Zirconium Screw Sigil

Primo tempo (as per overture, but louder): The Carrots are Coming motif sounds

The camera zooms in on Baronstard Tuffkonen atop his Death-Volcano-Tower with a monstruous aetherial perennially-sniffing Nose pivoting around thereatops between Ziggeratwolfsonsteinianlightningsummoningarchitecturallyattrocious zirconium horns, Malevolent Cat of Ominsapience Fuzzcordioned in his ample vermilion-lacquered lap. [We've decided to call this place Asshai'ol Guil'Doom, on Formerly-Quality-Arable HyperMason Land. 10 points per identification of genre involved in this composition, 10 more for working it into the previous sentence]

Baronstard Tuffkonen: How DARE they unite against our Superior Order?

And BEFORE I'd managed to fix the refrigeration in the outer Storage Chambers?

Malevolent Cat of Omnisapience: Meeeuw Pfefferahspitzle htht [licks left forepaw]*

* (footnote) This is Cheshipuss for "When will you stop underrating the value of good fridges?"

Baronstard Tuffkonen: I SUMMON FRANKENCARROTS FROM THE EARTH!

The Carrots are Coming sinister countermotif sounds

A neon sign lights up on the stage saying "So, Dear Audience, our Titular Carrots are not SuperficialflippantrhinocerosdeIonescoscurrillous, but real".

Swellvitating Phalanxes of Vampire-Class Frankenkarotte emerge stage left, from the Electroshock Chamber chute; they are large, numerous and scary.

[Then: "Such as they are" lights up in its place.]

Grim Legions Zombie-Grey Carrot Infantry start to pour forth. Both these and the Vampire Carrots above have tell-tale zirconium screws sticking out of the sides of what-passes-for-their-necks, pan-zoomed into in each case.

[Then: "Because of refrigeration issues." takes its place on the screen.]

Some are clearly not even grey but Besplattered with a BioNatsci's Paradise of Mouldshrooms.

[Then: The military symbols for

"FrankenKarotte Grey-Carrot Zombie Infantry"

and

"FrankenKarotte Orange-Carrot Vampire Self-Propelled Airborne"

appear onscreen.]

Baronstard, to the Malevolvent Cat of Omnisapience [gesticulating toward the hideous grey, vomit-foam-white and snot-fleck-ochre ZombieKarotte]: These chaps can't fly, or paralyze and subsequently impersonate those whose flesh they touch. But they will have to do.

[Raising HIS voice to the Carrot Audience, with a Desilencicompensator, also in zirconium]: You Know no Pain,

You Know no Fear.

You Shall Eat Duck-Flesh!

[Hideous gnashes and snarls roar down from above and anatid-blood-curdling moans echo out from below, including from still down below the electroshock chamber chutes.]

And of course we've got eleven more Cawsaken that have not been in the wrong fridge. That nasty trick I worked up my sleeves last week. And you'll be needed to fight as well...

Malevolent Cat of Omnisapience: *psychopathiclaughingfitzlecheshivanescentgrinsprecocious*

* * *

[Cut back to the scene outside the HyperMasons' Triangular Scarlet Palacelodge]

[The screen has "Pintail Armestra" five sillitary symbols on it; two are crushed by a phalanx of VampireKarotte Airborne, the other three retreat, revealing the town on the underlying map to be called "Westfolded Wing".]

Pintail Armestra Conductor General [rushing in stage left, splattered in others' blood]: "Frankenkarottecallipte Mutte!"

Paddledabbleshine *Places Her under Her-Own-Wing (and 77-striped Shawl-Stole-Soul of Office)*

[The screen switches to displaying the symbol for 'Spoonifex-and-Gjellarhorn wielding Paddledabbleshine Empress Personality Model']

Barbarian: "Tuffkonen, have you forgotten who the fuck I am?

What gift you gave me?

Did you just expect me to die, like all the others?

You're going to pay for them all

[burping on an unprecedented scale] PAAAAAAAAAY FOR THEM AAAAAALL!

[The screen switches to displaying 'Barbarian Psy-Ops Burptillery Personality Model']

Paddledabbleshine: "And for all the AesseDucks you have killed today. Do NOT take ME for a Conjurer of Cheap Pineapples..."

[10 points each: identify what well-known quotes these sentences lampoon.]

[The screen switches to displaying

'AnaeseDuck Sorcerous Duck Light Infantry',

and

'AnanaseDuck Dragons',

with a question mark rather than a unit symbol on is counter.]

CornoStatus: This means War-Now-Status. Value-Added-Light, fetch my barbed wiring...

Value-Added-Light: [A somewhat antlered but still mobile attendant, dashingly barechested with a scarlet surcoat over his arm]: "Arrrrs you orderrrr, Sirrrr!"

* Figure out who the hell Value-Added-Light is supposed to be [40 points + 20 for explaining what their implied role in HyperMason History is]

[The screen behind the stage changes to display the symbol for 'HyperMason UltraHeavy HyperStatic BarbedwireHorn Defense Infantry'].

CornoStatus: "And wearing our 4-Inch Cold-Rolled-Steel Aprons will confer us an Odd-vaunt-aaarge at Close Quarters with the Enemy!" [Hypermasonic-adulatory-applause; the scene fades out]

Our intended TTBA submission is to end with the following:

[Initial Battle Formation: we are still lacking this, including many troop types:

* all troop types on Weeks 3-4-5 Items list not mentioned on this page or on the team scores page now *score double* what they used to. * ]

Toward Armageddon/Apocalypse Grand Finale Aria.

Item II.6 is to be called Frankenkarottarmon Gai'don alias the Anananaboingcornocalypse (Grand-Aria-Finale)

It will not be ready as a finished piece of chainwriting or music until May at the earliest.

* Explain this title's ethymology :) [10 points per relevant stream of source material]

* Design your own Heroes of the Horn [10 points for a name, +10 if significant. 40 points for a portrait. 10 points for a superpower or special ability. 10 points each for up to 4 legendary deeds of said character. Teams may submit up to 10 heroes of the Horn each]

* A long list of superlatives will be accorded.

* Note: moderate scores will be accorded to those with access to anonymize and libretto up the sheet music.

The Appendix on the Sorcerous AnaeseDuck Anajahs (ie factions labelled by colour)

This is preliminary worldbuilding; characters and military units, who are waterfowl, belong to these.

2 points per genre source among this set of 78 ridiculous colour names ^_^ .

Superlatives on screenshots of each colour most matching the intended colour (10 maximum per team).

10 points in each case your submitted hue is even more fitting than the so far intended one.

It also sets the riddle of the secret 78th Ananajah hiden within the other 77: the Ananachromatic Smokey-Topaz Verdochre Ananajah. [20 points for identifying each waterfowl so far introduced who's in the Ananachromatic Smokey-Topaz Verdochre Ananajah. 40 points for subtly introducing further AnaeseDucks into the plot that can eventually be inferred to also be in the Ananajah. 100 points for the best shade of Ananachromatic Smokey-Topaz Verdochre in a format useable to make sillitary units (silly military units).]
