Our journey from Tora was a success. We just arrived in the upper atmosphere of the planet we call Arian. The initial scan would indicate the population of the planet has more than tripled from 2 Billion erect life forms since our last visit approximately 120 of their revolutions around the sun. This is promising news that perhaps their technological capabilities have increased to a suitable level for integration with the rest of the universe in this plane.
However, there has been a decline in the life force around the planet, even with all the new beings. I imagined it would expend enough energy to signal us as we approached, but it appears to be not much more than a candela. The readings are contradictory. With this many beings on the planet the energy emittance should be much larger.
 
I summoned the one with the designation Tesla, as he was positioned last time we visited to help guide the beings of this planet towards their higher evolution. To my amazement and dismay his energetic bio signature is no longer found on Arian, although his negram synthesizer was in perfect working condition in some large building where the inhabitants seem to preserve and worship inorganic material in many shapes and forms.
