[UPDATE] CMH (Oct 15)

I finally got in touch of Karen. She apologized for being scarce, but said she's off to Kuala Lumpur the day after tomorrow to visit some friends for a couple of months, and has been busy getting things in order. She can't recall the exact location of the marker, but said we may go together to "have a hunt" when she returns.

I met up with that Palmer fellow. Nice chap, a little intense and he talks an awful lot, but decent enough.

We met at Millie's and set off for the hospital in his car. It was nice not having to drive, my eyes have been feeling more than a little strained lately and I've been getting a lot of headaches.

He seemed quite interested in the gravemarker with the symbols on it, and asked me to bring a copy of the rubbing along with me. I gave it to him along with its translation.

I showed him around the grounds, and although he was quite pokey about things, he didn't seem all that interested in the buildings.

Then he asked about me about the tunnels. I had hoped to steal away and have a look for Old Todd, while Palmer was poking around above ground, but he was much more curious about the tunnels.

I took him to a grated entrance, and unlocked it. Although there are other entrances that don't require a key, none were closer. I locked the grate myself many years ago when I noticed signs of vandalism in the outer tunnels. I'm not even sure the administration knows the entrance exists, it's very old. I used to
hide in there as a kid, but only near the entrance, and it was old even then. The entrance we used doesn't connect with the main tunnel system of the hospital proper, rather it's like a spider vein offshoot and not at all straight.

I was very nervous, it had been some time since I had been in there. As we started in, my head began drumming and my hands formally introduced themselves to tremors. Every nerve in my body was on end, and I felt extremely strange, almost out of body.

We didn't talk much as I led him through the twisty turns and false dead ends until we stopped at one of Todd's hidey holes. There were pictures and papers, I'm not sure what they were exactly as they were torn up into little pieces. Palmer wanted to take them with
him, but I asked him not to. Todd is very particular about his things, even though he leaves them laying all over Hell's half acre, he does eventually come back and expects things to be the way he left them.

Palmer did quickly spread each pile out and take some photographs, but I asked that he gather them back into a pile when he was finished.

There was something oppressive about that room. I'm not only worried for Todd, but fearful of what's happening to him. I felt a very insistent urge to get out of there and asked that we leave.

I'm not sure where to turn next. I'm going to have to make another trip to show that Ron fellow around, but I just can't keep stumbling around blindly looking for signs of Old Todd.

So i guess todd wasn't the one who layed the papers out like they were. Hopfully Ron will be able to get a nice tour.

Maybe we need to ask Ron to look for some specifics.
Go to a certain building? Look at the tunnel maps again and try to point him towards a certain area?
