Undreamed adventures of S Mouse XIII

INVESTIGATION OF RETRIEVED SAMPLES REVEALS RESULTS FOR WHICH WE CAN FIND NO EXPLANATION. SAMPLES ARE CLEARLY ORGANIC IN NATURE BUT EXAMINATION WITH MICROSCOPE REVEALS NO RECOGNISABLE BIOLOGICAL STRUCTURE. SAMPLE PREPARATION HAS ALSO PROVED DIFFICULT: IT APPEARS THAT IF NOT WATCHED PREPARED SAMPLES WILL SIMPLY DISAPPEAR FROM THEIR SLIDES. BOTH CALLIOPE AND I HAVE INDEPENDENTLY OBSERVED THIS BEHAVIOUR: INDEED WE INITIALLY BLAMED EACH OTHER LEADING TO SOME RATHER TENSE DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN US FORTUNATELY NOW RESOLVED. MECHANISM FOR DISAPPEARANCE OF SAMPLES IS UNKNOWN, ALTHOUGH PRELIMINARY EXPERIMENTS INDICATE THEY MAY SOMEHOW REJOIN WITH THE MATERIAL THEY CAME FROM. THEY APPEAR ABLE TO DO THIS EVEN IF SAID MATERIAL IS WIDELY SEPARATED AND IN A SEALED CONTAINER. THIS IS EXTRAORDINARY.

WE HAVE DECIDED THAT THE SAFEST APPROACH IS TO SEAL THE SAMPLES IN BOXES AND SEND THEM TO LAB ON MAINLAND FOLLOWING PREVIOUS SETS. WE FEEL CURIOUSLY UNSAFE CONTINUING TO WORK ON THEM HERE.

PACKING UP EQUIPMENT AT THE END OF THE DAY WE BOTH FELT SOMEHOW OBSERVED. OBSERVED BY WHAT WE COULD NOT SAY. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO MEAN US HARM, OR AT LEAST NOT YET.

AM WORRIED FOR SAFETY OF CALLIOPE AFTER I RETURN HOME. SHOULD I ASK HER TO LEAVE WITH ME? HOW WOULD SHE TAKE THIS? HOW WOULD I MEAN IT? SHE HAS NEVER KEFT THE ISLAND AND I HAVE KNOWN HER ONLY A FEW DAYS. SHE IS AN ABLE ASSISTANT, BUT COULD SHE BE MORE? DOES SHE WISH TO BE MORE? DO I WISH HER TO BE MORE? I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO: CAN I TRUST T MOUSE TO LOOK OUT FOR HER? IT IS HARD.

TOMORROW I FEAR MUST BE GIVEN OVER TO MY SPONSOR. PERHAPS THIS IS AS WELL.

SOMETHING IS WATCHING US.
