Piper, still at the Little Babel store known as "Eeeeat Up", continues to work on freeing the store from a plague of creens, by going to a nearby tower and exploring it. He shoos off a number of creens nesting there, and then discovers that there is a message tube running the length of the tower that leads to a recessed area where the creens are roosting. He drops some repellent down the tube, then holds a net over the tube, and ends up capturing about a hundred or so creens as they shoot out of the tube in a panic.
