#bubble burst

Bubble Burst, released in 1984 by Spinnaker Software for the Commodore 64, is an action-arcade game where you must prevent creatures called "Zeboingers" from popping bubbles in a bathtub.

You control a target to shoot bubbles at these bird-like Zeboingers as they approach the bubble bath. The game becomes more challenging as the Zeboingers can open windows or turn on showers, which further reduce the number of bubbles. Additionally, you have a limited amount of "bubble juice" each round to defend the bath, adding a layer of strategy.

They return with him to Lallybroch. They still haven't found a new flat and she will not return Faith to the other one.. Things have changed though. Claire returns Faith to the room assigned to them both but joins Jamie in his. Jenny notices right away.

"Like that now is it brother?"

"Aye. We are in love."

"About bloody time. I feared ye would die a virgin." He blushes. He dinna ken she..

"Ye ken'd?"

"I did. But that is no longer true, hmmm."

"No. But twas much more than the love making. We share a soul connection. Claire and I."

But that connection is about to be tested.

"Claire."

"Yes. This is she."

"Detective Grady here. I've some news on your husband." She slips into the first available seat, the side of her and Jamie's bed.

"Yes?"

"You know he was beat to death by some other inmates. They had discovered why he was incarcerated, you see."

"I do."

"We routinely investigate such occasions. Can't have vigilant justice. Well, over the course of our investigation we discovered that one of the men involved in the assult on yer husband received a visit a couple days before from a relative of Ian Murray and James Fraser. A cousin. This inmate has admitted that this individual told him that a certain Frank Randall was here for molesting his daughter."

"What?" Her mind is a mess. She can't think. Can't form a coherent sentence. "What will..?"

Detective Grady is able to understand her fractured question. "We can't charge any of them with a crime. The only ones who will be held responsible are the inmates involved."

"Thank you."

"I just thought you needed to know."

She sits in shock after they ring off. He/ they had him killed. It was as simple and complex as that. They had taken upon themselves to have him...damn them! Damn him! It wasn't his place. He had no right! He could have been arrested and charged himself. Him and Ian. Where would that leave the children and Jenny and her? Bloody stupid Scots!

She grabs a book from the bedside table and throws it towards the door just as Jamie walks in. He tucks just in time. "What the hell Sassanech?"

This was originally done in December. I was going to work on a second drawing to put on this post, but I lost the time and the idea of it.
