Seeing as how if daemon dies then so does human, and Lyra's perfectly OK, Arookee didn't die, but he almost did. During his near-death expierience, he saw his selfish life flash before his eyes. He goes to the Bar's cathedral and repents for his sins. Then, he considers buying HUGE giftbaskets for evreryone he's hurt, but doesn't, seeing as how he's not sure if they would tak this as a war sign. Instead, he gives them two things everyone likes- The good luck(/Karma for you new age guys) of being friends with a daemon, and- of course- MONEY! He runs up to Insano, apoligizes, asks for forgiveness, and gives him a friendship hand shake with a following 100 million credit check. He does the same to everyone but Mac, Zen, Corey, and Luke. First, he goes up to Mac. He says he's sorry, and would like to be friends with him, and hands him a 1 billion credit check. NExt, he does the same with Corey, Zen, but then he comes to luke. Instead of being a dog, he changes to a Unicorn, impales him on the horn, and then proceeds to throw him into the acid pit. He and Lyra then go up to the bartender (who is feeling very left out on the money giving) and gives him 100 mill too, and strikes up a friendly converstion about politics (poly-ticks, meaning many blood-sucking leeches)and about how stupid Al Gore is. This is when Lyra finds she has the extrodinary ability of making high-pitched, deafining noise when rubbing her finger around the glass's rim.
