Zo'ro-Argh felt the weight of the years on her shoulders. But the remembrance of his interrupted searches and of his lost colleagues seemed even heavier to him. If only for the sake of his lost friends, he have to keep up the fight. He had to get back there, he had to get the N'ASA back on its feet. He had invested too much in it to give up. And all the more so as this research center carried with it more than a mountain of knowledge. It also held the key to discovering what the homin being was, and helping him to go further and further into wisdom, and the happiness that may flow from it.

He drank his mug of byrh and straightened up, ignoring the cracks in his back, then headed out. He clapped his hands to summon a few messenger izams and hung up their necks messages of invitation for a few old companions and accomplices.

A few days later, a small team was assembled. As stipulated in the N'ASA operating rules, there were at least two homins and two hominas, and all four nations were represented.

One of these companions offered to make posters to be put up everywhere by the trykeri mass production parchment company. Alas, the said company had vanished too. So all he had to do was invent a new method. Wasn't it N'ASA's job to find new answers?

He found two.

• The first was to hand out a flyer to the staff of NH, which has the advantage of being present everywhere on Atys. Maybe they'd even give a discount for the trip to Almati Wood.
• The second was to launch flyners carrying leaflets that would fall randomly all over the Bark. Of course, these flyers would be made from materials that could be absorbed by any type of bark without polluting it.
  The second solution took longer to implement. First, he have had to wait for authorization from the botanists, who would wait for the right moment to prepare the four flyners, one for each nation. Then, the leaflet packets would have to be prepared and someone would have to go and stand somewhere in the canopy for them to be thrown to the four winds.

Finally, the day arrived to announce the N'ASA's first "resurrection" meeting. He even chose the most accessible time for every homin. So the meeting was set for Quarta, Floris 10, 3e CA 2628^[1].

Contents of the leaflet

Invitation to inaugurate a revamped N'ASA on, Quarta, Floris 10, 3e CA 2628^[1].

All homin researchers are invited, whatever their field of expertise in science, literature, hominology... everything.

During this assembly, we'll be looking together at how we can better share our knowledge and preserve it so that other researchers can use it as a stepping stone to knowledge.

Come one, come all, or if you can't, be represented for the rest of the adventure.
