( Part XIV , XVI )
The two of them settled down at a small desk to one side of the chapel, with a baby monitor keeping them linked to the sick room, and began to write.
"Dear Peggy, Keeper of the Appendices,
We are faced with a serious problem, here in Toddlingham. The Oracle, and his shop assistant, have been struck down by a mysterious force that apparently hatched from an unexplained item that crash landed in a town allotment. That entity manifested itself here in our Sanctuary, and imprisoned us in invisible tubes directly around our focii in the Pattern. Upon our escape, the being fled, but is still active and perhaps haunting us.
A sketch of the receptacle from which the being emerged is enclosed, as is an interpretation of the imprisonment scene in the chapel. Perhaps you might know something about this which we do not.
We turned to the Oracle for some insight, as a prelude to seeking your assistance and sagacity, but the Oracle was struck into insensibility by forces unknown and remains unconscious, now for the third day. We have relocated him to our Sanctuary, compromised though it may be, and care for him still. A similarly affected shop assistant remains at the hospital at Haagenport, taken before we could reach them.
We have recalled some stories about the supposed ability of the Pattern to offer some recuperative effects via immersion, but lack any more information of the subject. We also seek any insight you might offer on the prophecy-laden tablecloth, a high quality photo of which we send in the SD card with this missive.
We ask a lot, Keeper of the Appendices, mainly because we dare not leave the Oracle unattended or each other for very long, with that entity on the loose. Why it hasn't done more to affect us, we do not know.
Please advise,
C and C."
There shall be more...
