Rod.

There are markings at this layer!

They're just resolving now to the point where I can make out what I think are variants on two runes: raiðo and tiwaz. I think they've improvised changes to them, but I don't know what that signifies.

I'll stay until you're back--or really I could stay until we finish, if it looks to you as though that's likely to be tonight: I'm not in any rush to get home. Are you able to come have a look?

I'll be right here, Rod. The markings are coming clearer all the time. And something else. Very faint so far.

To tell truth, I feel a little breathless about it all! But I'll watch closely and be ready to report when you arrive.

[alt_rodolphus]

You have a good eye for new developments.

Breathlessness is natural when it comes to anticipation of this magnitude. Indeed, it is to be expected.

Now, is there anything I can bring you while I am en route?

[alt_lana]

Oh, I don't think I could eat a thing, sir, if that's what you mean.

I've pulled all the sources on the runes. Sobering, all of it.

[alt_rodolphus]

Sobering, is it. Fortunately, I am not far off now. Coming directly.
