All this Cosmos Protocol stuff has the rest of the engineers on edge, and I don't think my vague reassurances are working anymore. Had to install that new console the other day, and set up this ridiculous procedure to even access the damn thing. Everyone keeps asking when the King's gonna stop by and explain things, and I don't have the heart to tell them I don't think he's coming. Things have been silent since Mirror. Anyways, I was fiddling with the key to the new console today when Vitus snatched it right outta my hands. He must've thought it was a bone or something, because he went running off. By the time I chased him down, it was too late to stop him from dropping the thing right into the Pyroflow pipes...
The key's fireproof, but there's no way I'm tugging one of the safety suits on to go fish it out. Besides, the Minister told us to make sure no one could access the Cosmos console. Guess if the puzzles and procedures don't stop them, a missing key certainly will. I miss Anema. Think I'll go visit her before the world ends... If they'll let me out of this place.
