Dear Kaelyn,
It pains me to have sat by, while others risk their lives for the defence of Magincia, and potentially, the whole land. Though, I gather the battle hasn't fared any the worse for my absence.
I do offer some good news, however. Not to mention a silver lining to my research.
Using the magic-negating properties of Blackrock, I am confident that it could be used to collapse the moongate, thus stemming the tide of the invasion.
I can see you frowning at that, Captain. I understand the fears that are raised in people by Blackrock, almost as much as I understand the material itself.
While I won't deny that there is a risk of an unstable reaction, I am certain that the scale of it would not be widely devastating. I am certain that the samples I've been able to acquire are not pure enough to threaten anything beyond the immediate area, should such an event occur, which I consider unlikely enough to suggest it in the first place.
In the unlikely event, would it not be a small victory in itself, for the moongate to be lost beneath the waves?
While it would warm my heart to have an escort to the gate, it may be safer for me to approach the gate alone, under cover of darkness. Avoiding the demons, rather than attracting their attention with unnecessary fighting, would give a better chance of reaching the gate overall. Though, I would welcome your input on the matter.
It will take several hours to prepare, by which time you will likely be on duty.
Signed,
Kendra Duallain.

Dear Kendra,

Before you do anything with that Blackrock magik, you better talk with some of the other experts about it.
I know Muldran and Callum are crazy, but they are the only ones we have that may know how the corrupted gate might react to Blackrock.

As you yourself state that you do not know how big the devastation of Magincia would be, I order you nay to try your dangerous experiment.

Before you nay have contacted some other experts that can confirm your theory, you should better look at other possibilities to close that cursed moongate.

Only if the situation becomes desperate and the island is threatened to be overrun completely, then we might consider using that accursed blackrock on that corrupted moongate.
