In case you hadn't noticed, there are very large wolves roaming around outside. Wolves that are supposed to be extinct. They hunt in packs and are extremely dangerous. Unless you're a suicidal bonehead with an incredibly idiotic death wish, I recommend staying inside and in groups. Do not try to fight them. 

[She sighs, rolling her eyes.] Yes, Kobra, that last part was primarily directed at you. [Idiot.]

As for the stone cube, Dr. Banner and I have been examining the star map etched into the sides and come up with a lot of nothing. We know the map does not reflect our solar system or any of our constellations and is therefore not from our galaxy. We also know the writing carved into it is in Old Norse and holds no real meaning. As for the indentations and the tree... I had a theory on that, but the book I was looking for is missing. 

If anyone else has something they'd like to contribute, please contact either Dr. Banner or myself. Thank you.

[Private]

What? Why are you apologizing?

[Oh please no. For the love of all that is good and sane.]

Also? They're not that great.

[goodluckkobra]

Okay one, wolves are cool, especially giant ones.

Two, you seem to have just met my big brother. So... sorry 'bout him. He's harmless. Well, no. 'S a lie. He's really not harmless. Uh... don't make sudden movements and let him sniff your hand before you touch him.

[preytosociety]

Have you ever met one up close? [She's still really touchy about that subject.

... The minor revelation almost cracks her perfect mask of a smile.] Great. There's two of you. As if one wasn't bad enough!

What do you mean by 'not harmless'? Are you planning on letting this not harmless guy in the house? And where the hell are you right now?

[The last question may have been asked through clenched teeth...]

[goodluckkobra]

Uh, we are totally different. [For one thing, Kobra hasn't suffered any head trauma!] He's just a little jumpier than me.

[He shrugs.] And a little paranoid. I told him you and Dan are my friends, though. I know you guys have my back. He'll understand.

And I'm at the docks. Why? [He's a suicidal bonehead. Why?]

[preytosociety]

[Are you sure about that, Kobra? And she'll get to all the other stuff in a second. Right now she just wants to focus on--]

The docks? Why the hell are you at the docks? If you don't get your bony butt back here in ten minutes, there are going to be consequences. Dire consequences. And no, that was not a pun. I am serious. You are in for the beatdown of your life. Don't ask 'why', you know why!

[goodluckkobra]

It's like a fifteen minute walk, but I guess I can come home. [He pushes himself up with a frown and starts to walk.]

Is everything okay? Is it Dan? Are you guys okay?

[He starts to walk a little faster, worry in his voice. What if the wolves attacked one of them?]

[preytosociety]

Oh, you guess you can come home. Okay. Fine. As long as it isn't inconveniencing you.

[You are such an idiot. Why are you doing this to her? She's going to start getting heart palpitations.]

Yes. We're fine. And do you want to know why we're fine? Because we're inside. Unlike you. You're not going to be fine once you actually get inside, either.

[goodluckkobra]

Yeah, well-[He freezes.] Nice doggy...

Lyds, I gotta go. [His arm drops and the video shows a lone wolf growling at him.] I'm gonna do that inside thing. I'll get home when I can, okay?

[And then he's backing up, turning and sprinting towards the church. The video cuts out.]
