most of it makes very little sense, honestly. i think he writes in some kind of shorthand? pavel does, too, from what i can see, so i guess that's to be expected.

from what i can tell though, he's scared. he keeps mentioning some kind of... priest thing, that he needs help to interpret something. everything else is either notes on really normal reports of the warp core's output and environmental controls or a bunch of theoretical physics that flies over my head completely.

lmfao oh ofc. why should anything be easy

priest?? yeah that sounds p culty. and... ooooookay. i got nothing.

wait, what word/s does he use for the priest? that might be relevant idk

he used the word "augur". something about the vessel needing the augur to interpret the instructions properly.

well that doesn't sound familiar to me at all >:(

yeah me either. my research says it's some kind of priest-like role from ancient rome. they read the will of the gods in the flight patterns of birds.

wow how helpful lmfao

right? i haven't seen many birds lately out here.

it does to me. it's mentioned a couple times in the books you got from your parents. i'm still working on translating it all but definitely mentions an auger and a vessel. what i've figured out essentially says that what needs to be done isn't possible without both.

it just doesn't say what it is that needs to be done.

wow that's not at all vaguely ominous sounding.

that's a cult for you.

ffffffffff cult /pls/

yeah, pretty much. i'm not too pleased with how many roadblocks i've hit. i don't think this was meant to be read by outsiders.

i think garak's giving it all a look over now. hopefully between the two of us here and uhura, we can get somewhere. which, btw, expect to get some copies of what i've scanned soon, uhura.
