First, please allow me to extend my sympathies to those who were injured while remaining within Asgard these last few days.
For those who made the journey to Ginnungagap, I wish to solicit any reactions or discoveries from the trip. While I found it a disappointing trek in some regards, it is possible other Travelers saw more productive results.
As regards my own thoughts on the matter: I'm sorry to say that if any notable artifacts remained within the site, I was unable to locate them, and of course, we did not have the tools necessary for a proper excavation. Speaking of which, if anyone reading has background in archaeology or related disciplines, I entreat you to contact me. I should like to investigate the possibility of organizing an archaeological team for future journeys, but I sincerely doubt the majority of the population will be convinced to read Sirs Petrie or Maspero in preparation for the task. Any such team would need more field experience than I alone can provide. [Especially since her legitimate, on-the-books field experience is rather paltry.]
Finally, for those students enrolled in my Latin and ancient Greek courses: Please be advised that, beginning this week, Mr. Kyle Booth will be assisting with marking assignments and class lectures. I expect that you will all show him the respect his not insignificant skill for these languages deserves; our studies will no doubt be enriched by his presence and knowledge.

A pleasure, Miss Perry. How have you found Asgard so far?
no subject
Potions? That is certainly different. [She is curious.] Do you think they might have openings? [As she contemplates something.]
It has been an experience so far. Very unexpected. How long have you been in Asgard if I may ask, Ms. Carnahan?
no subject
A month or two, by my reckoning. It becomes difficult to keep track without a proper calendar--but it isn't so bad, really, barring the war.
no subject
Have you fought in this war?
no subject
I've done my bit to help the wounded; I'm afraid I don't have the training to be especially useful in combat.
no subject
Oh I see. I've never really seen battle before.
