time with a faintly angry look on his face, perks up when she
mentions the quest.
    "I am."
    Axel winks at him and slaps the NPC on the
shoulder as hard as she can, which barely moves it.
    “ Well, Chuck here has been going
on about that stupid quest of his since I got here. I guess it’s
about time we got it sorted for him.”
    The look on her face says she knows something
that Harry doesn’t. He doesn’t know how right he is.
    “ Hey, Chuck. This guy wants to
finish the quest.”
    ‘ Chuck’, who doesn’t look anything
like a Chuck, looks to Harry in a way that seems too motivated to
be real.
    “ Good sir, can you help
Sally?”
    A small silver window appears in Harry’s view
and he clicks accept.
    "This is going to be incredibly fun," Axel
says, watching the NPC’s delighted face.
    Hurrying away on its own, the NPC heads over
to his barn with Harry in tow. Axel ambles on behind, obviously
taking great amusement in watching Harry’s butt poking out of the
back of the skirt.
    “ It’s a cow,” Harry says in
surprise as he steps into the small barn to find the big beast
dominating the center.
    “ Yeap,” Axel says, coming in to
lean up against a stall full of chickens.
    Harry looks around at the interior of the
barn. There’s a horse and a few other small stalls, with a variety
of creatures in them. The place is about as rustic as one can
possibly get, yet what is unfolding in front of him with Sally is
definitely not rustic, in fact, looking at the overly
swollen cow, crazy comes to mind as a more apt
description.
    "She is a cow," Harry says matter-of-factly,
still surprised as the quest description didn’t mention this at
all.
    The redhead player reaches over top of the
gate of one of the stalls and strokes the top of a sheep's head as
it stands near the bars chewing at her.
    “ Here it comes,” she says in
amusement.
    "My Sally! My Sally!” the NPC screams, “She is
suffering so badly. We have to give her the meat.”
    The other player is already covering her mouth
as she watches Harry’s indecision and lack of understanding. His
knowledge of cows is actually very limited, considering no one has
a farm in 2222. The only time he’s even seen one is the very rare
ones found in virtual zoos. Everything he knows about cows is over
100 years old and it hasn’t prepared him very well for the reality
of one of the oversized beasts; to say that he doesn’t know what to
do is an understatement - he’s got no idea.
    What am I supposed to do with the meat? His memory tells him that the beasts eat grass (another throwback
to another century). It doesn’t seem like it would want to eat pig
meat.
    “ I would step back a little,” Axel
says.
    A squirt of brownish red pixilated fluid flows
out of the cow’s butt.
    “ Gross. What the…?”
    What happens next really throws him and makes
the NPC cry out in obscene pleasure.
    “ Is that a head?”
    He looks to the other player.
    “ Yeap. 100% baby cow head,” she
says, watching Harry’s shocked face turn into one of complete
surprise.
    What is going on? He looks more closely
and notes even stranger things happening to the cow’s rear. There
seems to be a baby cow coming out from the rear of the momma cow
and it's all too realistic.
    "My Sally is having a baby!” The NPC screams
in excitement that seems unwarranted in this sort of
situation.
    He grabs Harry by the shoulders and looks deep
into his eyes. There is a startling intimacy as he says, “YOU
MUST GIVE HER THE MEAT NOW!”
    He doesn’t give Harry any time to answer as he
immediately follows his comment up by running around the barn like
a headless chicken and screaming “MY SALLY, MY SALLY” at the
top of his lungs.
    Pulling out the pixilated red dripping meat,
he stands there waiting for the NPC to finishes his lap of the
barn, so he can grab hold of him and ask him what to do
next.
    “ I DON’T KNOW! THE WORLD IS
ENDING! MY SALLY!!!”
    “ Ok, that’s just silly. Answer
