[Actual RP date: 22 Oct 1999.]

Lakshmi and Skye set about planning a trap, then spend the day finding a Bromthen Forest-Hog for bait, setting a trap in some quicksand, and then staying up all night waiting for a whispa. In the wee hours of the morning, a whispa finally arrives, and Skye springs the trap at the crucial moment. Lakshmi and Skye dive into the muck after the whispa, and Lakshmi catches it – but the whispa proves to have more than just fangs to fight with, and claws up her arm pretty badly. Nonetheless, they manage to catch the beast.

Back in camp, Lakshmi cleans her wound, and they ponder what to do with the whispa – They're fairly sure that it won't make such a good pet, and not so certain that the Secretary General will be a very good keeper. Furthermore, once it's proven that whispas are real, they fear that others might come in search of them. At last, they decide to simply let the creature go free, and to suggest that the whispas don't really exist after all … for the sake of preserving this "living myth".
