However, when he, Sarah and Sky go outside, they find that it is [[rain]]ing [[fish]].


Leaving Haresh and his pupils gaping at the bizarre, fish-covered school and playground, Sarah, Sky, Clyde and Rani race back to the attic of No. [[13 Bannerman Road]], where Mr Smith is busy monitoring reports of the unusual storm. Sarah explains that accounts of such phenomenon have been attributed to tornadoes sucking up fish and depositing them elsewhere. Just to make sure, she asks Mr Smith to carry out a scan for any alien energies that could be to blame. The [[Xylok]] computer does not detect anything suspicious. He informs Sarah of a possible link to a new exhibit at the Museum of Culture, where a Mojave Native American totem pole is on display. Legend has it that when this artefact was removed from the cave where it was hidden, a storm of fish fell from the skies.
