Dear Sister, 

The Equine creation is now complete and awaiting your attributions. After the difficult installation of the signal filaments, the large electronic assembly was in comparison easy.  I say in comparison since it was by no means a smooth process, but however it went it is now assembled. It will be difficult to keep my hands off till your arrival as the creature changes every day and I ache to add these additional features to the already completed painting. I know this will disrupt the careful connections I have set in place within the piece so I have covered the work and placed it away from sight,  It only awaits your expertise in arranging the complex settings then I can begin the analysis of the operational piece. I realize these numbers will have to wait until you sift through the mountains of data I have sent you and also your own measurements being collected on the Phycodurus at this moment. There is now over eight months of numbers accumulated there alone so I will have to be patient even after your arrival.  It will be more than enough trial for me to wait for this first event, let alone the months till your own  work comes to fruition. I am happy then to have a diversion in Nikolas. The studio is a constant reminder of the long wait so in three days time I am off to visit him for a four week stint. I contacted him last week before I began the final component installation and he assured me it would be no burden for me to stay with him for this extended time.  This will allow me a short respite from my work before Addison must depart for another assignment and I must assume all responsibilities for my compound. Katryna must also return to her own home for a short time to meet with several of her clients and tend to a few personal tasks.  It is not as if I will be leaving the Equine behind once I leave the studio and I am excited to learn more of how Nikolas has been influenced by the creature in his own work. I  also tired of my own simple cooking and the thought of experiencing one of his culinary masterpieces first hand has me salivating already.  He has an extra  room for my stay and although he must work while I am there he says there are ample things in the surrounding area to keep me occupied until he is free. I look forward also to observing another environment of New London since his retreat is located in the coastal mountains.  I will be unable to take the Geo-Train directly to the area as the line ends before reaching his location.  The last six hundred kilometers will have to be completed by sea as there is no land transportation available yet for this area of New London. His restaurant is closer in kilometers than Delphi but because of the transportation situation it will take me the same amount of time to travel there.  Two days by train and one on the Zephyr ferry.  The later is a cross between a sailing ship and a high speed hydro-plane.  It uses only wind power as a momentum force but can reach speeds in excess of one hundred kilometers per hour.  Another form of transport for me to experience but I am not looking forward to this ride as much as I was to the Geo-train. At least it will keep my mind off your impending arrival and the finished piece locked away in my atelier storage.  This will leave me only a wait of a month upon my return to the studio before your ship is scheduled to arrive.  Katryna will also be returning to continue her studies and I will have the full operation of the studio site to occupy my thoughts. Addison will be leaving as soon as I return so I hope I have learned enough from him to keep everything operational. 

The weather has begun to clear since the summer is approaching.  The humidity has dropped allowing for more attributes of the Equine to appear that could not be viewed in the danker atmosphere of the winter months. I struggle with the desire to start another representation of the creature even though I know there is no time to complete it before I leave for my journey. I know my creative brain needs a pause before beginning a new work, but my inner self is struggling with this decision.  I detect no signs of the Equine growth toward the space containing the Flynn satellite but it is still a few months before this phenomenon was viewed from Earth.  The time gape is very  prevalent in my thought as I wonder what is being viewed on Earth now.  Has the Equine revealed what it intends by this time on Earth, or is it still unclear what the creature it growing towards.  It will not help to check the messages from mother Earth as the question will no doubt cross the incoming message of what we are about to experience here  and what Earth viewed two years ago.  It would be helpful if the message barrier could catch up to the space travel time, but as sound data and matter are two different things, the Gambol process would not work.  I cannot believe I have been away from my home planet for almost two years.  It seems like only yesterday that I boarded the transport in Brighton for my adventure into space. I am surprised how quickly this planet has become my home.  I know it has everything to do with my relationship to the Equine.  I feel I am sharing my life with it, watching the magnificent view of its ever present form above me.  This may be why my hand itches again to copy the ever changing form onto canvas.  It is the only way I truly feel connected to it and I feel an almost addictive tendency that I must return to time and again.  Afraid that if I do not then it will be impossible to maintain the relationship I have learned to rely on.  If i describe it this way it sounds very unhealthy. This is not what I am trying to portray as I have never felt more alive and center than I do now.  I only find it difficult to imagine my life before this creature was present.  I hope once our work is completed and the finished piece is displayed on Earth that I can be near it.  I cannot imagine returning to normal life on Earth without being able to experience the Equine on at least some level.

I am taking the dream journal with me on my trip to see Nikolas.  I want to concentrate my full attention on the remaining entries and this will be easier away from the studio.  It will be sad when I have completed them all.  I have found great comfort in the journal pages.

Love,

Victoria
