No one wants to compromise Royal Hastings’ reputation with accusations that cast shadows over its academic rigour. All for the sake of an art course?

Isn’t this MA about finding creative solutions to business problems? I’d say paying a professional to do your coursework falls into that category. Ha-ha!

You should read on, Tilda. There’s another layer entirely to this story, and it’s only thanks to Jem Badhuri that we know.

The young girl?

It’s thanks to her willingness to blow the whistle that we may still be able to stop tonight’s event.

It’s a college project for an altruistic local company. Possibly their vision for it exceeded their resources and abilities, but why would we need to stop it?

I’m driving there now. I might have to call the police.

Jonathan Danners’ Doodle Diary, 24 April 2024:

‘No light. Please help me. I’m trapped.’

Every day, at the same time, always a version of the above.

Who is it and where are they? How to communicate with them? What do we say?

The unit is impenetrable in its simplicity. It had its own room, its own display case. Why would it have been so isolated, so revered. What technology is this? When Edison and Tesla worked on machines to contact the dead, both stopped. Because they failed? Or because they succeeded … ?

Is this a place between worlds where souls get stuck? What if Mum and Sophia are stuck in a place like this? Calling out on a frequency only this unit can hear, day after day.

Subject: RD8 visit tomorrow

Dear all,

Thank you, everyone, for your support last week. I have some fabulous shots for the prospectus. Please send me your positive quotes about the course as soon as possible. Perhaps focus on how useful it will be for your careers and for building your business, if you have one.

Now RD8 are visiting tomorrow, so let’s take today to prepare. We want them to feel valued, so I expect you to tidy up, provide light refreshments and present the work-so-far in its best light. You should also organise who will speak about which aspect of the project, and decide how you’ll gather the client’s feedback in the most productive way. I’ll take a back seat to allow our project leader to optimise his role, but of course I’ll be watching and listening to everything!

See you tomorrow,

Gela
