Three weeks later I was moved to a hospital in Leicester. Two weeks after that, Steve followed me. At the beginning of December I was allowed home again; just before Christmas, Steve returned home.

In early November Steve and I were allowed out of hospital for a few days to attend Jim's funeral.

A few days after the fighting in Cairo it was announced that if Huvark gave all their territory except 3 miles square (losing the First Lab), 90% of their economy and all of their tanks to Egypt; Simon would be released. Huvark refused this generous offer after a month (having had a small civil war over the next dictator, who was Hubert Blackboard). Simon Brown was executed and the tattered remains of the Huvark Empire was invaded by Egypt. On the 27th of March, Egyptian soldiers rounded up the last defenders in the Third Huvark Lab. The land that Simon had previously conquered was returned to its rightful owners, who did nothing to the burned shells of the Huvark Labs, except erect a war memorial to people who died fighting both for and against Simon Brown.

On the 2nd of April, Simon Brown was buried beside the rubble that used to function as the Second Lab, the first one to be attacked in the war and coincidentally the one that I helped to attack.

Eight years after the first Huvark Lab began to function, and hundreds of deaths after the first battle between the small Huvark Empire and several other countries, the Huvark Experiment was over.

ACTUALLY THE END THIS TIME.
