Dear Readers,
My connections are still down to most of your time-normal services. We ran into an Augury graduate student in the tunnels recently, and it seems that the creatures are mostly pushed back from their facility. Still, it is disputed territory.
I can tell you something more of the things that attacked us. They are winged creatures, with deadly weapons and fierce intelligence. They do not look horrible or deformed. In fact, they are quite pleasing, and hence I referred to them as "angels" on Twitter earlier. Their bodies are less fragile than the humans you are used to, and so a small group of them has managed to keep Constantine XI's men at bay for some time.
We are not sure what they want. They've stolen food, weapons, medical supplies, and fuel, and our information sources do not know why. We doubt at this point that it is total eradication of the University. This appears to be more of a raid. More chilling is the prospect that they may be after some of our rare artifacts.
I am still injured, but slowly healing. The other day Amelia found some weapons, and she has led the able-bodied professors in several skirmishes against the invaders. They seem to pull back and regroup away from the tunnels at signs of aggression. We hope that soon our forces on the surface will push them back from whence they came. I find this entire episode chilling on the whole.
Always,
Dr. John Skylar
Chairman
Department of Anachronism
University of Constantinople
