[Viktor’s familiar, hurried script appears once again on its own. Without someone helping to facilitate the post, he is straight to the point, much as he was some months ago, announcing the location of the kidnapped Summoned.]

I’m well aware that most of us are occupied with the hostile creatures descending on various locations across the continent. However:

I’m more concerned with the nature of these phenomena and am currently improving the devices that the Academy will use to take measurements from the rifts. When I’m finished, the data will be more accurate than what the Cadens scientists could gather on their own. If there are similar efforts in the other factions, it is in our best interests to collaborate. I have theories of my own, as well.

[That’s, you know, the hint to pony up some intel.]

In the meantime, for those of you in the Free Cities who might be venturing to the rifts, I will need an escort. I would prefer to collect the readings myself, but I’m willing to part with one of the devices provided you are responsible with it. That may allow us to cover more ground.

As always, if you are in need of equipment or repairs, my workshop is open (unless I’m examining the rifts, in which case I’ll handle inquiries when I return).

I have other weapons but it may be inadvisable to enter close melee combat, depending what we could encounter.

[techmaturgy]

I would prefer no combat at all, but if we must, it should be ranged.

[aquilus]

Hence the throwing knives. Hence also my suggestion that we bring another ally. But I'll see about borrowing a crossbow as well.

[techmaturgy]

I like the idea of a crossbow better. More range.

[aquilus]

Less accurate. But I'll see what I can do.

[techmaturgy]

If you show up with only throwing knives, I'm firing you.

[aquilus]

I'll see you soon, Viktor.
