Granier diaries, installment six
Category: me
Time: 06:54 PM

Only one part left to go after this - it's all getting rather interesting, and a little creepy. Granier seems to be trying to be very discreet, but I can't help guessing what might be going on. I'm sure you're all doing the same. I can't stop thinking about it. Would discuss it with Kurt, but he seems to be spending all his time with Miranda. However, luckily the lovely Jason seems to be interested in hearing about what Cymbalisty and I are up to. Jason's some sort of military history buff in his spare time and is fascinated by what we're discovering in this diary. Because the archives have only recently been opened, it hasn't been properly catalogued yet, so I guess we're the first people to sit down with it properly and work through every word. In any case, Jason and I are going out tomorrow night to discuss what I've found out so far, so we're putting off looking at the last page until Monday. It's not exactly a date but I'm hoping to persuade him to turn coffee at Fenlon's into drinks at Conundra and take it from there....

So here is your penultimate installment from Mr Granier:

13 April 1736
Edwina has been busy with her calculations these three days. She tells me that she has taken many useful readings which go to prove what we have long suspected: the entire place will be destroyed. There is no help for it. We walked today upon the upland slopes and around the lake. She intimated that she was grateful for my continued counsel and I was glad to hear it. These days since the experiment have brought us into closer intercourse than I had ever envisaged. She finds the companionship of my lord and his household hard to bear - they regard the people of this place as their possessions, to do with as they please. The City has given them free hand here, so far from our own environs, and it has led to this unwelcome circumstance.

15 April 1736
Edwina and I dined heartily this night upon fine cakes of cornmeal, with figs and venison sliced thin. Talked long into the night upon divers subjects: art, literature, philosophy and science. She confessed that she had admired several of my short writings - declared that I should attempt longer works, perhaps a novel. I found myself delighted by this news. Felt no need for the attentions of the serving girl and told her that she need not return for several days.

17 April 1736
Despatched news of our progress to my Master. We are almost finished here - but a few more days, and Edwina's calculations will be completed. We have only then to agree with my lord a time for this matter to be concluded. It will not be long now.

21 April 1736
Abed this morning, Edwina most disconsolate. Upon inquiring of her what the trouble might be she, with a most mournful countenance, explained that she had been concealing a secret from me. I teased her a little upon this point, maintaining that she must have some other gallant gentleman admirer. She laughed a little at this. I entreated her, again, to entrust her secret to me. She replied that she desired to do so, but wished to ponder on the matter, taking her own counsel until to-morrow. My bed remains forlorn and lonely this night.



Interesting...had a feeling him and EM would get it together. Anyone else worried we might not get the final installment, or am I being ultra suspicious again.

 		Maybe a bit ultra-suspicious, although I don't trust that Jason character. More pheromones? Either way, I think it pretty obvious that he's up to no good. Military history buff? Or 3P operative out to delve Violot for what she has found out?

I wonder if this is some proof that this village is Viendenbourg, the hills and the lake are prominent. This is Scarlett's description of the map.

Scarlett wrote:
So, I brought up my up-to-date maps and overlaid them, matching peak to peak, ragged lake shore to lake shore, slowly bringing the two maps into line with each other. And I looked. And there, on my modern map, where a village called Viendenbourg should be there was... nothing. No ravine. No small lake. No village. Nothing.


Shocked

 		Possibly, but 'destroyed' doesn't imply 'nothing'. You would have thought there would have been ruins, but who knows.

My guess is that Viendenbourg would be a military base so big it's called a village...who knows.

 		Total cad... no other word for him really!

But I think you're possibly on to something, number9dream. In which case, is the Viendenbourg facility 'guarding' this strange device/ set of calculations that Granier and Ms Mountling are currently working on?

And what's her big secret? Argh, this is worse than the cliff-hangers in Neighbours...
