Bill Nye slips through some bushes only to be attacked by four cats.
Bill Nye: *bewildered.* What are you doing! *is pinned down by a large brown tabby.*
Pupilclaw: *snarls.* Get back, intruder! *is standing next to the tabby.*
Irisfeather: *presses down on Bill Nye.* What are you doing on EyeClan territory?
Corneapaw: Hi. I'm Corneapaw.
Retinapool: *frowns.* What should we do, Irisfeather.
Irisfeather: *puffs out her chest.* I say we take him to Visionstar, then kill him! *unsheathes one claw and slowly draws it across Bill Nye's throat.*
Bill Nye: No, no! This is all a big misunderstanding... I'm Bill Nye. I'm only here to learn about what your Clan has to teach me.
Irisfeather: *narrows his eyes.* What should we do, Pupilclaw?
Pupilclaw: *ears wilt.* Mousedung, I kind of wanted to kill him.
Bill Nye: O___O
Retinapool: Let's not kill him... Visionstar probably wants to see him first.
EyeClan Cats: *take Bill Nye to camp.*
Visionstar: *looks down at the intruder.* Well, hello there Bill Nye. I bet you're wondering how my warriors could see you so quickly...
Bill Nye: Uh, why don't you tell me?
Visionstar: *continues as if Bill never spoke.* Well, you see, the light that comes down from the sun reflects off your fur and bounced into my warriors' eyes. It was refracted through the lens and the cornea, where it passed through the virtuous membrane and into their retinas. Then, the message was transferred down their optic nerves and into the part of the brain that processes visual information.
Bill Nye: *nods enthusiastically.* Wow! How does light get into the eye?
Pupilclaw: The pupil, or the black part, of the eye can open and close to allow different amounts of light to come in.
Irisfeather: But the iris controls how much the pupil opens and closes, and don't you forget that! *turns to Visionstar.* Can we kill him now?
Visionstar: *grumbles.* Fine, you can kill him.... once we finish explaining everything!
Corneapaw: Ooo, I know stuff too! *jumps in front of Bill Nye.* The cornea is the outside part of the eye, the mostly-clear part that does 2/3 of the refracting of light in Twoleg eyes. It also helps protect the eye!
Retinapool: The retina has two different things on it—cones and rods. Rods process the amount of light, so the more rods you have, the better you can see in the night. Cones process the different colors, so the more cones you have, the more colors you can see.
Bill Nye: How... fascinating... *eyes the exit of the den.*
Visionstar: The optic nerve is really quite—hey, what are you doing!
Bill Nye: *darts out of the back of the den and bolts into the forest.*
