FOLLOWING THE TRAIL (part I)

We arrived on Khorat without any difficulties. Went through some standard procedures, facing nothing unusual or suspicious — except, maybe, for too scrutinous luggage examination. But it’s explainable, right? Residents interrogation bore no fruit, as everyone we talked to was eager to profess ignorance. “I have no idea” turned out to be the most popular answer, closely followed by “Oh, shut up already” and “What the **** are you talking about”. It seems, people of Khorat received precise instructions on how to effectively end a conversation with strangers trying to find out what had happened here just a few standard days before.

Then we traveled to the Khorat Cupola. It’s a really impressive structure of epic proportions, with several entrances, each of those blocked by massive men in military uniform with the Institute of Astroarchaeology emblems on their sleeves. I decided to make a frontal attack and demanded to see Borg Johnson, but was told that he had already left Khorat for another new planet with signs (well, quite remarkable ones) of extraterrestrial civilizations — Lyod. A picture of it is attached to this post. Is Mr. Johnson really there? Or is he simply trying to evade us? I’ll let you know very soon.
