Hey. Have any of you heard from Yuri- sorry, Yuri Lowell? I haven't seen him in a while, and there's no other way inland except through Heliord, where I've been for a while now. I didn't see them, so...

Anyway, I'm done with my follow-up research on the barrier blastia in Heliord, so I'm heading back to Capua Torim to find a ship. I've got to follow up on all that aer krene business before Alexei comes calling, and I highly doubt there's another one on this continent. It'll be annoying traveling alone, but... nothing I'm not used to.

And before anyone asks, I'm not sure why, but the whole zombie business missed me. Which is for the better - my artes don't work well on things like that for some reason. ['And I'm pretty bad with them overall,' she neglects to add.] Is everyone all right?

That's what I'm counting on. I just hope it doesn't take too long. Finding him in person is going to be a pain, and it's something I don't have time for. So if he doesn't happen to show up... I'm gonna have to do all this alone, and that's going to be unpleasant.

Do what?

I've been assigned a big research project, and I'll be traveling a lot. To other continents and stuff.

That sounds exciting! You're going to go to new lands and see a lot of cool things! What is it?

[blahblahblah]

Well... the aer krene I mentioned before - source of aer, highly dangerous, almost got us all killed in Keiv Moc, those things - need study so we know what they are before something bad happens. As one of the foremost researchers in the empire... there's nobody more qualified than me.

At least they're smart enough to choose you. When are you going to go?
