12 September 1243

No sign of anything unusual over the past two nights at the Planetarium. Yesterday, I requested permission from the University Administration to investigate the Planetarium just after their last class at 725pm. I searched high and low over every nook and cranny that I could find of the place. I even took out my Scriptfinder, which certainly caught the attention of the students. It's not everyday that you see a custom tool like that, a magnifying glass attached to a book enclosed by a wooden frame. The thing also shines a purplish-blue light so that darkfire scripts on surfaces can be exposed and copied into the book. This is what I used at the Fleming House two days ago, and that was how I found that Darius Weller was involved. Nevertheless, I could not find any leads at the Planetarium.

However, I did find something peculiar. There was a bookshelf situated near the West Corner of the Planetarium building, in the outer surrounding corridor. This was where the "phantom" reports were coming from; so I was intrigued. I moved the bookshelf and swept my Concealment Spell Observation Glass over it. However, I found no unusual indications. I also used numerous spells, both standard and custom-crafted, to try and open what I thought was an entrance. But no luck. So I made note of it to investigate at a later time.

We met again for our regular conference and reports. This time, however, it was in the small and tidy guest room aboard my airship, the Scalar. And along with Winsley, Kempt, and the Headmaster, were also in attendance Glenda Browen, Martin Nodd, Arthur Corbin, and Brea Claython.

Bryan Kempt was the first to speak at our informal meeting. He informed us that there would be a 10'000 qors award for the individual to capture Weller. And he did so by showing us the flyer, stating that it was posted around the University and around the town.

I joked, saying how I wished that Father David Connor would be here to see this, which was ironic as I had actually invited the University Chaplain, himself, to attend our gathering to see if I could somehow strike some common sense into him. He has been preaching extreme evangelism on the matter surrounding the incident of September 8th. During our meeting, Martin showed me a copy of the Flagstaff (the University paper) with an article stating how I was too weak against the influence of Darius Weller. The Chaplain, furthermore, publicly called for the University Council to vote and authorize Winsley to conduct unconditional searches on the dormitory rooms of every University student for evidence of darkfire or dymensionalism.

It was to my delight that also in the room was Head of the Flagstaff: Karla Bringamyn, who chuckled a bit when Winsley emphatically voiced that he would refuse to conduct such a gross violation of Retunian Republic principle.

I am sure that the Chaplain will clap back at this, but I will deal with him later. For now, I must focus on my quest to find and capture Darius Weller.
