Effie MacLachlan

"Personal Journal of Euphemia MacLachlan, Assistant Engineer at Imperial Exploration Company: It's been 5 weeks since we have left the familiar walls of Birmingham behind. Weeks of uncertainty. Of struggle. Of hope. And, finally... we have reached the shores... We had three deaths so far. Or "small price for progress" as IEC'd called it. I can only hope I am going to avoid their fate. They've claimed, there was nothing to fear. That our whole journey of ours... was just a precaution. But now... It feels like the weather is changing. And the winter... The winter... seems inevitable."
