Without bothering for a response, Presto already reaches out to walk his friends backwards, which happens to be closer to the opening on the floor that serves as access to the Graymatter Engine Room. 

The group comes out of a huddle to form a dramatic tableaux, each readying for a battle. After a beat, Presto resolutely reaches in to his hat, pulling out a chunky-sized TV remote control. He points toward the giant brain. 

Electricity flares in waves around the giant brain, filling the room with intense flickering light and crackling sounds!

Presto does his best to stand firm against the reeling power that courses from the remote and his sheer willpower.  

Suddenly, Ginga BLINKS out and re-appears a few meters atop the giant brain. Immediately, he snatches the Piece with his jaws! 

The Arcano-sentinel turns to Ginga. Landro tilts their head,curious. 

And Ginga blinks back to the heroes, the rod piece retreived in its mouth. 

With a resounding "Vvvvoooommmm" descresndo, the lights immediately wink out. Landro's body plunges down, back into the gray viscous goo in the basin under the brain. The Sentinel relaxes, all light gone from its body.  

The only light source comes from Diana's softly glowing Staff of Acrobatics. 

He stops as the room illuminates once more, this time in a dull, low, pulsing red. 

Eric rushes to Presto's side, slamming his shield into a groove of the sentinel's body and straining for leverage.

A quick jet of sparks erupts as Eric's shield pops open the sentinel. Within a mass of gears and pipes, there are several gems and crystals, including a large 30cm-long purple-grey crystal similarly hued to the graymatter.

Presto turns and runs to the giant brain. He tosses the Piece of the Seven Rods to its former place. The piece clatters atop the brain, but all is still. 

Starting with a slow strobe effect then growing to full power, the rod piece floats in flashes of green light and the entire room grows with illumination and a resurging HUMMING sound. 

The graymatter ooze at the base of the brain begins to swirl, then forms the familiar shape of Landro's persona.

Eric plunges the tip of the crystal into the graymatter ooze, which begins to lap against the crystal and sharing its luminesce with it. 

The form of Landro dissolves and returns to the goo. The id crystal in Eric's hand now begins to pulse with a slow, steady light. 

Once again, Ginga BLINKS out and re-appears a few meters atop the giant brain. However, this time, as he snatches the Piece with his jaws, the energies of the brain are still active! Ginga half-growls, half-whines through the pain as he pulls at the piece.
