Ultimate Quest [1]



    Three weeks! Three weeks had gone by, and still no news!
But even before that, Orphie had seemed... different. Lost in her thoughts, not leaving her office. She had allowed in only rare visitors, including a couple of unknown homins.
     And when, at last, she had got out, that had been to ask for something to be readied for her to depart to the kitin's lair of Almati Wood. Alone.
Apocamus had stormed, shouted, argued, cajoled, trying by force and kindness to convince her not to undertake such a journey alone. But she had had the last word and appointed Melga Folgore to replace her during her absence, which, she had assured, would not last more than two weeks.
And three weeks had gone by.

Wide spread poster:


     Rangers, friends of the Rangers,

    The hour is serious!
    Orphie Dradius is reported missing during a mission in the kitins' lair of Almati Wood.

    A rescue expedition will leave on 13h - Quinteth, Winderly 11, 2nd AC 2612 [2] from the Ranger Circle.

    We invite all the volunteers to come and lend it their support.

Apocamus Dradius,
Veteran Ranger.

A great emptiness

Excerpts from Melga Folgore's diary, never published [3].

     Apocamus is inconsolable. He still performs his duties as an Instructor correctly, but he is more severe and demanding than before with the teams he trains.
    Orphie… Orphie, but why did you have to go there, and alone in addition? Why were you interested in Tepsen? Because we found his amber cube in the Kitins' Lair? If I'd known, I would have held you back. I'm sorry.
    You've left a great emptiness, and the atmosphere in the camp is gloomy. The Rangers are much affected, myself first.

    Today, we received Daeronn Cegrips who came to share his conclusions after first analyses of the kirosta sting found near the lifeless body of Orphie. Of course, he asserts that no kitin of such darkness has ever been seen on Atys, either on or under the Bark.
    Some Rangers want to return into the depths of the kitins' lair in search of the kitin this stinger was arming. Well may I tell them that, as her first-rate Ranger seal was not enough to protect Orphie, they don't know what awaits them, they persist in their desire to go and see. That's sheer madness: such a search will only end up making us mourn other deaths. I am tired of all this.

    Routine matters have been piling up. Orphie had neglected them a bit to devote herself to her research. I have a lot to do.
