Crystal,
Writing this from the comfort of a car on the Trans-Siberian Railway, of all places. This research seems to have taken a very interesting turn, one I had to do a little bit of name-dropping to facilitate. If someone back in Attilan gets contacted by the Museumtechniches in Vienna, I think I may have accidentally committed to a working relationship with Austria's historical museum program. Don't say I never do anything for culture! Even by accident.
This adventure is taking us to Tunguska from here, the site of one of the 20th century's greatest unexplained atmospheric phenomena. On June 30, 1908, an explosion occurred north of Lake Baikal in Siberia. Flattened trees for sixty miles, and the local tribes believed the land was cursed for decades after. To this day, no one's sure what caused it, although the leading explanation is a meteorite airburst. We've found evidence that may lead to a different cause, and if we're right, it could be a significant clue to this whole mystery.
On a completely different note, when I get back, I'm going to be spending the New Year's holiday in Texas with my parents for a few days. My mother's been asking nonstop about this charming young lady who requested copies of my baby photos. So I was wondering, if you have no other pressing plans, if you would like to come down to Dallas and meet my parents?
I should be back within the week. If you need that information for the Flight class that I collected, I burned it to a DVD, you can probably find it on my desk in my office.

Forge,
You what? I sincerely hope that you are not attempting to start an international incident. We frown on those, you see. The next time you fell that you might need to utilize "a little bit of name-dropping", please ask, in advance if at all possible. Thank you for the warning, though.
While I will need to make an appearance at the royal party, I did not have any other plans for New Year's. Now I do.
