Week 98
Mission Log
This morning
something that the Japanese people refer as Nisshoku happened. At
exactly 7:29 in the morning the moon moved directly in between Otsu and
the yellow sun, blocking much of the sun`s light (a solar eclipse). I
seized this extremely rare opportunity. Enduring the pain and likely
causing much damage to my eyes, I stared directly at the Nisshoku and was
able to break the spells and amnesia that was placed on me. I quickly
located a facility where I could make contact with the outside world and
send this update to you. I haven`t fully confirmed the security of
this location yet. So, I will still be using the code name Elder Swift
and I will have to keep contact brief.
I`ve encountered one set back in the mission. My daily
planner seems to have gone missing. It contains all of the highly
confidential information about my mission and the plans that I create
and carryout throughout each day. I`m at a loss as to what to do now. I
may need to acquire a new planner and start all over again. I"m worried
that allowing this confidential book to fall into the hands of the enemy
could be quite detrimental to the mission, but do not fear: I`ve
written it all in a code language that I refer to as nihongo
(Japanese).
I`ve become much more proficient in communicating
through this code. It`s become quite natural. When I hear a message
come to me in the code language, my brain is able to simply comprehend
it normally now. It is now longer necessary to focus, concentrate hard
on what`s being said, or translate it back to English in my head.
Mom and Dad: I`m glad that you are excited to come out
here and get me. It was very nice to be able to talk to you last
week. If you are able to find out the name of the train station that is
closest to Mt. Fuji, then I don`t think it will be that much of a
problem trying to get to it. Mt. Si is a pretty difficult hike. Good
luck. That theater is called Takarazuka Kageki. Takarazuka is the name
of the city. Kageki means opera house or theater. It might just be
called Takarazuka Opera or Takarazuka Theater. I think it would be all
in Japanese, but they would have English pamphlets and stuff explaining
it. The story is Romeo and Juliet, so it probably wouldn`t be that
difficult to follow. I worry that it might be too expensive or that
tickets would sell out to far in advance. Also, there are no actors,
only actresses. I`m excited to see you again soon. I can take you all
around anywhere in this mission just fine probably.
I cannot remain in one location for too long, or else
they`ll catch on to me. I must get moving now. I cannot say exactly
when I will be able to contact you again, but do not lose hope. I`ve
got this mission completely under control. I`ll work something out.
Until then.
