Twenty days since my last post.
I´ve been busy with a lot of things, and finally found time again to keep you updated.
One of the worst things that happened was the theft of one of our Dasharen linking books. It happened two weeks ago, when B.P. brought some linking books to a conference. When he packed together after it had ended, he found the book missing.
So, someone who has access to our conferences must have taken it – unfortunately, nearly all of the expedition members took part in this particular presentation.
Further investigations pending.
About Dasharen: Tom Woods and Shane Kennett have devised a theory about the “big blast” that happened some months ago, when our powermarble experiment exploded rather spectacularly. They suspect the strange electromagnetic fields to be responsible for the energy fluctuation that caused the explosion. So, we have to be careful with bringing energy devices to this age in the future…
Ah, by the way: I´ve brought some unexpected guests to Afelahn without even noticing.
We were watching animal life in Risoahl, our giant bamboo age, and somehow they must have gotten into one of the bags I had my equipment in.
When I had returned to Afelahn, I heard some chirping sounds – at first, I thought the source of the noise to be outside of the base. But when I moved, I could make out it actually was inside… an unsettling feeling, you know, especially because the creatures in Afelahn I´ve met yet are not very pretty or pleasant. (e.g. the lobsterpede).
Only after I found bite marks on a sandwich I had left on my desk in my office, I knew it had to be some kind of rodent.
Now, I´ve searched through the whole base, but didn´t find anything, albeit hearing these noises from time to time. A least it seems to be smaller than a rat, according to the bite marks… maybe some kind of mouse? Where could it be hiding?
