Well, here is part four. This is the last of the material that I posted way back when. Anything after this is new meat, so to speak.

I've just reread this section, and I'm not sure that I really like it. It's necessary to the story, but it seems a little... flat for some reason. Any comments would be gratefully received. Do you think it's flat? Or is it okay?
