Episode four, Beneath the Surface,The direct supernatural route following the trail of

(00:25):
the manufactured menace led Emier and Ito a dead end. However, we
had a very tangible lead remaining,Abraham Johnstone, the name the creature had
attempted to extract from Eendicotte the bleaknessof the fact they shared a name.
Not even that coincidence had been enoughto spark permanence in Endicotte's mind over the

(00:49):
death of the boy. You'd thinkyou'd see a name across the desk,
hear a report from a format.Oh, that name is my name,
and it might stick. But no. The only thing the man paused to
consider was that the boy died midday, and so there was half a day's

(01:10):
wages that could be recouped. Itwas decided that we would pursue the name,
no replacement for the proper detective work. However, reports came in the
very next day that there had beenyet another death at the mill owned by
Endicotte, and so we divided forces. Von Sid and Ida would inquire with

so can I thank you for sharing, not at all. I insisted you
began cataloging, filling in the gapsas the least I can do so.
Speaking of how goes it as advertisepainful cathartic life on the wreck, I'd

(03:06):
say a pressing board, yes,that's better. Each passing year, a
new stone, some stones heavier andmore jagged than others. I think I'll
get everyone on the wax. It'sproven invaluable with the reconstruction of the disaster.
All those clandestine recordings we found areactually quite useful. So I hear,

(03:30):
I think I'll put the aspirants ontothe wax when they arrive. If
you're actually going through with it,I am Udyssium and Clara Lux. God's
owen forgive me. But it doesappear that things have been a tad lax
around here, to our sorrow,yes of course, but yes, the

(03:54):
mill manager, let me draw inthe gap for you.
