Logbook of an Amoebist No. 263

  • “The 1000th night. I record this log as an update on my latest studies under the guidance of the Amoebist Master.

    These past days have brought many lessons and failures... A few small successes have kept alive my desire to understand these entities — I’m likely too stubborn to give up.

    My most recent experiment involved a Sil from the arid lands. I traveled for 27 nights to retrieve this specimen, which I’ve once again managed to grow.

    Lesson 1: Given the increasingly hostile environment, I must consider stronger protection for my next expedition (see Log No.251). A more experienced guide may also be advisable.

    Lesson 2: Better travel shielding is essential — the sample collected quickly changed color under the temporary seal.

    As for the experiment itself: I allowed the Sil to develop around the same reflective material found among the ancestors’ ruins. The temporary seal expanded in a uniform shape, and once growth had stabilized, the final sealing layer was applied.

    Surprisingly, no discoloration occurred at the final seal. I will explore this further in upcoming experiments.”
