A call for assistance!

[Prof McRankle]

So... another dive happened and results helpfully recovered by the Captain of the very capable ship 'the Beowulf'

It seems that what we have under the ocean is very likely to be, at least in part, a crystalline machine developed by a culture we are currently unaware of. Capt Jaegen took scans of both geology and fauna in the area. The radiation given by the crystal is very focused and shared by the creatures who appear to have no appearent mass other than their plasma state. We are told to keep away from them for now... as they may give one a painful jolt.

We are assured that the waters are safe.. the level of radiation being low enough to celebrate the oceans natural shielding in this matter. The next step will be to find other pieces of this 'crystal machine'.. separated the parts seem to have very little energy by themselves. A REWARD will be given to anyone who can find a piece and forward it to me.. we suspect there are more to be discovered throughout the area.

((a hunt for these pieces commences v soon - feel free to dive and find the pieces.. buy them for 0 linden and then pass them to oneguild resident... and claim your 10 linden for each piece returned))

I have  discovered in the past that projection may lead to folly... but of course will keep you updated as and when things are salvaged.

[Prof McRankle]

How did the search for crystals go Jane? I was asked to inspect the strange forcefield that manifested south of dakini land.. I will make a report of it soon.

[Prof McRankle]

Remind  me of what has happened with so far, my dear.. and *coughs* I'm afraid I am not in charge of the island you live in.. anymore than I can persuade the receptionist of Spinwheel University to stop wearing that awful perfume.... *ponders*

[Prof McRankle]

I recall the 'machinery' is stable.... and has not produced any more lifeforms?

I was sent to study the forcefield recently - you live on a very interesting island... 

Oh.. and... you assistance in that is greatly appreciated.. perhaps a little advice from a Registered Companion will be taken as I would wish it to be during my most skilful moments *dusts his glasses*

[Prof McRankle]

Prof McRankle makes a note not to ever buy her a dress in that shade of pink. "I am indebted to you Madam and hope to speak to you soon on more positive matters"

[Beeflin Grut]

I remember the first alien coming out of the crystal, at least. It stood on top of it and attempted to converse with a large and growing crowd. I don't remember what was said, but I'm pretty sure I saw at least a couple of voice recorders in that crowd. If we ask around, there should be a transcript of the conversation.

[Prof McRankle]

Thank you my good man, I shall be sure to ask the good Companion Jane when i see her.. and also perhaps that sweet phoenix assistant Darla too if she is there!
