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.

Pity we aren't likely to be from the same world; I suspect I might need work when I go home.

Do you enjoy it there?

[artifacetious]

Pity, indeed. If you showed up with an artifact and an interest I might be able to wiggle you in.

I do, yeah. It's not all fun and games and goo fights, but it's my thing.

[proudofwhatiam]

If I ever find my way back to Hamunaptra, perhaps I'll have to ring you lot up.

I should hope there aren't many goo fights to speak of. What's your position there?

[artifacetious]

What were you doing in Hamunaptra?

Supergenius tech support/field agent in training. It's sort of an informal job title.

[proudofwhatiam]

Are you familiar with the Book of Amun-Ra? Legend states--correctly, I might add--that it's hidden within Hamunaptra, the City of the Dead.

I suppose so. [Supergenius, really.] It must be fascinating work.

[ She's not even bragging; tech support is a pretty modest title, she's more of an inventor. ]

I'm not, but in my world it might have been in the Lost Warehouse. And we haven't gotten through cataloging all that yet.
