May 18th
There has been some progress in my experiments concerning the energy extractor device.
There were significant setbacks before I decided to use several small devices
instead of one which tended to overheat with catastrophic results. I am
constantly in need of more ingredients for my experiments and my key power
source, honey, seems to be running out, too. I suppose I have to go find some
more, although climbing all the way to get it might be more dangerous than I
thought at first.
In other news, there has been an unusually slow season in the mortuary, which seems to
show little sign of discontinuing. I am happy there have been one or two
autopsies a week, so my income as an acting coroner has decreased as well. Especially
interesting was the case of a young man found dead right in front of my own
clinic door. The poor man seems to have suffered an accidental death with significant injuries.
