created by Professor Nannini, their unwilling minion. \u00a0They \u00a0landed in Hopkins park, loaded the ray on a truck, and are heading into town when Morrison arrives and the game starts. \u00a0Their mission is to extract the rest of Nannini&#8217;s equipment. \u00a0The challenge for them is that they don&#8217;t know where the lab has been moved since their last outing in Granville.<\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1914\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1914\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
