Science Is A Slow And Careful Endeavor
Apr. 13th, 2016 11:12 pmI received a letter and another scroll of notes from Moondancer in the mail today. The notes consisted mostly of an inventory of the items from the tomb, but in the letter Moondancer says she found, via her bookseller friend, that Hoofton Muffin publishes an illustrated book on unnatural snowflakes and where to find them! Oh wow! I've got to get a copy of that! I'll send a request for a copy to Hoofton Muffin publishers tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Moondancer is still making progress on transcribing the scrolls. She's wrote that she's getting better at prizing out the words where the gold scrolls are damaged from cold melding, and that careful documentation and preservation in the unsealed tomb continues. Moondancer is mum on a museum display but I expect that that will happen eventually. She wrote that reading the age-darkened scrolls is very hard as it's like trying to see in thick smoke on a moonless night. Moondancer says she can only maintain the spell for a few minutes at most and she comes out of it coughing and covered in dirt. It's really hard on her health so she been spending more time helping with the other artifacts and writing papers for publication. But this has given her and professor Quest an idea for a restoration project. She wrote that she'll tell me about it in greater detail later, after they've worked out their plan some more.
