To Those Concerned:

I have completed my preliminary tests of the artifact known as the Map. I have included a detailed set of data that I recorded during the tests, though it will likely be indecipherable to those without experience in researching psychic phenomena. If you would like my help in parsing the data, I would be more than happy to do so at your request.

To summarize my findings, it appears as though the Map is a fully sentient psychic construct, which appears to think in very broad, existential terms. Though I cannot be entirely certain at this juncture, I believe that in order to fully unlock the Map's secrets, I must synchronize my consciousness with its own and somehow commune with it, though at this point I cannot tell the effect such an effort will have on my psyche.

I intend to fully analyze the data I have collected before resuming testing to ensure the utmost caution is upheld. However, at the rate I will likely have to proceed in order to prevent risk of damaging either the Map or my own psyche, I believe total completion of my work will take several months at best, though I can give a better estimate as my analysis continues.

I have enlisted the help of The Doctor as he appears more than capable in assisting me in this endeavor. In addition, Lord Zetta has expressed concern that the Map is not being properly guarded. Though I believe I am more than capable of keeping it safe, it is your choice whether or not to post additional security to protect it.

That is all. If you have any further questions, I am more than willing to answer.

Your Faithful Servant,
Brother Cargn Thane
