I had trouble sleeping last night, primarily because of another thought I hadn't had yet: What if Tom Pero was a Lykian insider, after all? I can see now how he may have been feeding communication to other Lykian contacts through both Cabotton and North Kempton's dymensional planes.

Tom Pero was very friendly when I first met him. He was from the Great North, and had come to Cabotton not as a student but as simply a person inspired to join the Society, which, after all, accepts all persons over 18, including non-students.

What if he actually has Cray as a hostage? I still haven't heard from them yet.

So today, I met with the agent that Jon Fletcher said would be meeting with me to tag along with me for the investigation. The agent is actually a young woman, and her name is Rose Anne Mahathy. With my guidance, she quickly threw together a basic avatar named Rosane; and with a little training from my end, since she has never engaged in a dymensional plane before, we immersed into the Arturian Realm.

Today was as bad as I feared. I remember hearing about the other few times that someone made an avatar just to carry out a discreet observation on the Arturian Realm. The person behind said avatar always has had no experience, and the avatar is always under-equipped to handle the hazards that come up. And Rose Anne's was no exception. We immersed into Evernorth and were making our way to Tom Pero's portal when a "slenderman" being leapt out at us. I was able to defeat it but Rose Anne's avatar was killed instantly, which meant she had to resurrect. She vowed to get better. But nonetheless, today, we made absolutely no progress.

Maybe next time.

So back to the Cray Fenton concern, I was hoping to meet with my roommates to speak on my concerns about Tom Pero. However, the roommates were nowhere to be found; they were busy in the Arturian Realm. I looked in Evernorth, but could not find any of their avatars. And having to look all over the Arturian Realm...impossible.

And now I have second thoughts regarding my roommates. While looking for them, I found out that Rachele had left Cabotton to assist in the town of Caylor, which had been impacted by the attacks this week. Rachele turned her Office temporarily over to someone named Carol Owen. Thus far, Carol, according to rumor, has some sort of a network of avatars serving as an extra band of undercover Prefects. I also heard that, though this might not be true, they are giving rewards to apparent snitches.

Again, that latter part may not be true. But if it is, should I trust even my own roommates? If not, then...I mean...they know everything. There won't be anything I can do.

All I can do is wait.
