[Another late night, and he's volunteered to make a pot of tea as he and his "sister" work.
So, in the kitchen, he opens the journal. It's still as good a place to store his thoughts as it is a method of communication, especially late at night when few are likely to be actively listening.]
There are constants and variables. That is the crux of our work. Constants that are measurable -- the laws of physics, for instance -- are, naturally, the more scientifically sound.
[Book in hand, waiting for the kettle to whistle, he wanders into the main room and puts a record on the player procured some time ago. The other residents of the house have proven themselves able to sleep through it when he's done it before, so he doesn't hesitate to let the sound come.
A familiar song can be heard after a moment of the player warming up.]
However, there are other constants. Things that cannot easily be measured. Things which can be relied upon to comfort, rather than affirm.
[He pauses and makes a quiet sound that's almost a chuckle.]
"A middle C vibrates at 262 Hz, no matter what the universe."
[Then, another remark, said more softly, almost to himself:] Perhaps I'm merely sentimental.

Our main focus so far has been recollecting our prior work, as we, unfortunately, do not have our books and notes.
[A minor setback, in his opinion.
They'd done it once, and, knowing that, could proceed with the knowledge first of recreating then adapting, rather than having to start without an inclination as to where to begin...
They'd done that once, and that was enough.]
[Voice]
Do you mean your prior work from your home? [It still doesn't do to assume, after all.] Or do you have notes on what you've been able to accomplish so far here as well?

It will be a long time before the Lutece Field can be found again. From there... From there, we may begin to learn how this world reacts in comparison to the ones we knew.
[Voice]
[This is, of course, the true and chief and real question.]

We've successfully crossed parallel universes before. The technology only needs to be adapted to suit the anomalies of this place.

[To someone who, it seems, is fairly new to Luceti, she stops short of calling the Malnosso the enemy, but... At worst, they're malicious; at best, careless.]
[Voice]
There are always consequences. One must simply decide whether they are worth bearing.
[Voice] and will be offline a few days, so next reply will be late, with apologies
[Which isn't saying she couldn't be talked into following some solid ideas.]

[Voice] and back!
