Progress Report

Positive

At this point in time there are not many positive things to say, the subject's powers are increasing and she is now able to open larger tears, bring through even greater objects through the tears. Positive things are that the Prophet has agreed to increase the capacity of the siphon year by year to counteract these measures, when it's at full capacity in five years time, the subject will not be able to use her powers at all. Other positive notes are her newfound interest in the works by the Lutece siblings. She is growing more intelligent and has become better at roguish activities.

Diary Entry #26 Age 9 (Birth Date unknown)

Entry Begins

Dear Diary

The past month my powers have been increasing again! I don't know why but I hope I can do more things now! I still can't walk through them but I can bring loads of stuff back with me! I don't understand why I can't walk through them though. It's fine though, it's always makes it cheerful when I bring something or other through. A few days ago I opened a tear to a huge hall filled with tiered seats! At the front was a huge screen of some sort, it was like looking at a huge Kinetoscope but the thing was, there was sound playing on it, I sat about two hours watching it through the tear, it was amazing! I still don't know what it was but it was about a group of people taking this ring to a mountain but it ended before the whole story was finished. I felt a bit upset but hopefully I can open up another tear to that place. I honestly wish that I was there; it looked like an amazing place to be in!

Father visited me yesterday! He sat and talked to me for a long time, he was talking about my powers mainly, asking how they were over the past few days, and he wasn't being as kind as usual. It was worrying the way he was talking, it was like he was hurried, rushed and under pressure. It was slightly scary because he was trying to force the answers out of me, I told him what I could but he looked annoyed at the answers I gave. I thought father would be happy that my power was getting better but as I told him he looked worried. Songbird can't comfort me that much; I haven't been seeing much of him lately as well. Most of the time it's only me and Achilles in my rooms, there's nothing wrong with that but it feels better when there's someone who you can talk to and listen to as well. Sometimes I get to talk to people through my tears but it usually isn't enough because I can only talk for a few minutes and the tears aren't that common. I still can't create tears like before but they appear randomly around me. I wonder why that happens but as usual, nobody can tell me why. Perhaps Madame Lutece could but obviously I'll never meet her, she's too important, she's the reason why this city is floating and she's way too important to see me. Maybe if I ever get the chance she could tell me.

Negative

The basic siphon structure is failing its function, her abilities are getting stronger again since it was installed, and this could lead to some complications if she becomes even stronger. The Prophet says that in order to fulfil the prophecy, she must be normal, she mustn't be able to use her abilities as she is the seed of the prophet and she must sit the throne. She notices the length of time between the Songbird visits. Sending the Songbird away could lead to problems but it is necessary for her benefit.

Songbird Instructions:
Inform songbird to take her away from the tower for a short while we observe radioactivity levels in the building, if it becomes too high we will need to vacate the buildings, also send the Songbird to collect materials to improve the siphon, it is a necessary thing to do even though it might take some time to do so, no further instructions.

Clean rooms as usual, replace mirror and clothes as well as books. Her bed needs replacing as the subject has outgrown her current sleeping arrangements.

Interesting points:

The Subject seems to have some trouble sleeping at night but maybe due to lack of comfort.
