Testing one, two. I am Professor Aradia Megido; I am an archeologist hailing from Alternia University, one of the finest college's of its time. I am currently studying ancient ruins in the mysterious forest of pulse and haze. It is here where I have discovered the last setting for the Signless one. He is a legend, a myth of some sort. It is said he began the revolution against the highbloods. It was told he saw into the past and preached to others of his visions.

I personally don't believe in visions of any caliber. But the Signless one, I know he existed at some point. My colleagues tell me it's ridiculous to go out chasing phantoms.

I am not a quitter. I know deep within my heart that this man existed. I have searched for sweeps and I finally found his setting. The villagers nearby told me that he had lived here many century sweeps ago. Now it is time for me to prove this fact true.

I have brought Mr. Sollux Captor, I have asked for his company on my trip. He is also a graduate of the University and a very close friend of mine. He is a technological engineer and is serving as my tech guide to help search these ruins.

I cannot wait any longer. Mr. Captor and I are heading out at dawn to the ruins. Not only will I be famous for this discovery but I also will be right, I shall prove Mr. Zahhak wrong.

He is the bane of my existence. He is a nobleblood, unlike myself, a rustblood. He actually thinks that he knows more about history than I do. He is only a robotics mechanic. He knows nothing of the past. His whole life is not the past. It is mine. Just thinking about him makes me want to break something. Breaking things has become a bad but pleasurable habit. Just the feeling of smashing tables and chair, and well anything I can get my hands on is very relaxing and calms my nerves when ever Mr. Zahhak disturbs them. Mr. Captor worries that I will break myself out of house and home, I try not dwell on the matter. That is not the most important thing as os of right now.

By dawn I shall prove the world of the Signless one's existence. By dawn everyone will know my name.

This is professor Megido. And it is solar cycle* seven of my travels.

This is the prologue to my first story, call of the wild. I am using solar and lunar cycles to represent day and night. I would like a critique on my representation of the characters. There will be more tape recordings with Aradia. The story is mostly third person.
