[Lois can't help but feel like it's not a coincidence that the second she got done putting the finishing touches on her Dead Zone report update, she finds out Lex Luthor has shown up at the castle. Paradisa really seems fond of those sort of karmic backslaps, and the deeper she digs, the more retaliation she's steeled herself to expect.
But if the two things are
connected, she's not about to budge one single inch. The castle managed a nice blow to her usually unshakable confidence when it rendered her a vessel for destruction and death only a few months ago, most likely as punishment for her efforts to undermine it. However, as she'd told Lana in the aftermath of that tragedy, the most effective way for her to fight back is to keep going - and not be bullied into submission, even when the castle threatens her loved ones.
Doing as much would be giving in to fear and despair: and back home, she's learned the importance of fighting against both those things.
Not to mention, as usual, she's just plain stubborn as all hell.] [Filtered to anyone interested in solving the castle's mysteries; filtered away from the First Generation]I know it's taken awhile, but I've finished adding in new information uncovered during the incident as Mineas Well, as well as from a few other sources, into my old report. A lot of appreciation goes to the Fifth Doctor, who'd compiled much of it already.
The report's here, and the new stuff should all be highlighted in red. I'd appreciate people double-checking to make sure I didn't miss anything that's popped up.
With the weather clearing up again, I imagine we'll get to revisit the idea of further expeditions sometime in the next couple months. Obviously, we still have those tin cans to contend with, but these gifts from Flora might help us figure out a way to reverse engineer an edge up. And it's sure as hell worth the effort to
try.
Either way, I'm planning on heading over to Mineas Well sometime in the next few weeks to talk to Flora myself.

We'll make sure it doesn't fall during any other events before we reschedule, but for now I'm sorry to anyone who was expecting it to be today! Either way, Lois' report update is complete :3 ]
