Now that Dr. Sloth possesses the dreaded Staff of Alhasutek, it seems that little can be done to stop him. However, as residents of Sakhmet face their darkest hour, a movement to save the inhabitants of The Lost Desert from Dr. Sloth has arisen--and its leader is none other than Brucey B. Hoping to raise a Neopian militia that will aid the citizens of The Lost Desert, Brucey B has prepared the following statement:
My fellow Neopians,
As I'm sure many of you know, this is a time of great peril for the citizens of The Lost Desert. With the help of my lucky coin, Dr. Sloth has gained possession of a mighty weapon, the Staff of Alhasutek. Thanks to this staff, Sloth has not only caused great personal injury to my friends Capara and Princess Fernypoo, but he has now also set his sights upon the city of Sakhmet. As we speak, the evil Doctor and his minions are plundering and pillaging the homes of our brothers and sisters in Sakhmet. Now, I say, is a time for action; just as we came to the defence of Tyrannia, Neopia must once again stand tall in the face of oppression. For as we all know, once Sloth has conquered the territories of The Lost Desert, we can be sure that attempts to seize the Haunted Woods, Maraqua and yes, even Neopia Central, won't be far behind.

And so Neopia, I stand before you today, asking for your help. I'll be honest; the odds are long, and the struggle will be our most difficult yet. But we must be strong, for the future of all Neopia depends on it.

And now, I would like to introduce a few of the Sakhmetians whom I've met during my stay in The Lost Desert. Maybe, in hearing their stories, you'll realise how important it is for us to join forces and stand up to Doctor Sloth...

"I've never been so scared in all my life. After they burst through the wall, I tried to run back and save a few of my precious belongings, but by the time I got home there was nothing left but smouldering ashes... I lost everything."

"We tried to hold them back, really we did. We just felt so... helpless. It was like there was nothing we could do to stop them. And now, what am I supposed to tell my friends and neighbours who've been left cold and homeless by Sloth's army? I feel like it's all my fault..."

"My sister was among the first victims of Sloth and his army. One of those nasty Grundos blasted her with a laser ray, leaving her terribly disfigured. And her poor Isfet was buried under the rubble for nearly three hours before being rescued. Something has to be done to stop this evil Doctor Sloth, or else all will be lost."

Brave Neopians, there's no way we can stand back and let this carnage continue. Those of you who have the courage to stand up to Sloth's Army, please come to my War Tent, where I will be gathering volunteers and preparing them for the challange of battling the evil forces of Sloth.

Thank you for your support,
Brucey B
