The museum is bathed in the silver, hushed glow of the moon, the hour when the silent halls breathe and the exhibits awaken. Atop a display table, the miniature Octavius stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Jedediah. Their attention is suddenly arrested by a staggering new presence dominating the Roman wing: a colossal Roman Lady, awakened and towering. Octavius's jaw drops in a state of total shock, a look mirrored on the faces of Teddy, Ahkmenrah, Sacajawea, Attila, and Kahmunrah. From his perch on Larry's shoulder, Dexter lets out a high-pitched squeak of astonishment.
