Luney's Stargaze

University Hours

After stepping off that bus and into university I then begin to really let the information sink in. I had my priorities straight, and luckily I just remembered that today they're letting off everyone from schoolwork for some kind of test or some блин.

"Ah, I haven't been here in a while. Lots had changed hasn't it, внук луней?" Henrik then says as he is carried into the main entrance. "No, not much. They added a few new courses and buildings with the funds they got, but they didn't get rid of the observatory you and моя дедушка worked in." I replied.  "Great, now.. All we have to do is get me checked in, and permission from your director and we can look for the stars, correct?" Henrik questioned. "It should be as simple as that." I then said before walking into the office to ask. "What brings you here today, Luney?" Office Secretary Izsosno asked. "Да, I was wondering if you could allow a talking bird into the observatory by any chance?" I then asked back. "A talking bird? you must be silly, I must hear it to believe it-" he would then be cut off. "Да, I would like to be given passage with Luney." Henrik then interrupted. "Eh... что?" Sec. Izsosno then said confused beyond belief. "Trust me, that's what I said before. Now, about that passage?" I then continued. "Да, да. He may be granted passage into the observatory, but he should be checked in by the director to make sure he doesn't end up ruining anything." Izsosno then finished.
"Okay, большое спасибо." [bol'shoye spasibo, thank you very much.] I then exited the office, and began to walk to the observatory which was conveniently down the road from the office. After a brief stroll through the streets of the campus I landed at the grand observatory. Opening the doors and walking into the building, I was greeted by the observatory's director Ivan Voblakakh. "Oh! How are you doing Artiom?" he then greeted. "Very well." I then replied. "What brings you here today? there isn't any work to be done." he then explains. "I know, but I would like to use the telescope with this bird here." I say, before sticking my arm out in a fist, as Henrik then flies onto his designated perching spot. "That would be me." Henrik then says. "Sure, go ahead." Voblakakh then says, unsurprised by Henrik's presence. "Okay, so we have permission now. How do we start working?" I then asked. "Well, now we crack open the notes, and get deciphering. As I said before, the stars are in the direction the old bookshelf. They shouldn't be too far away this time of year, so that should help us a ton." Henrik begins explaining. "Right, I should have those right here.." I then say, shuffling through my bag, before taking out an old notebook. "Okay. Now, if I remember correctly the details of the stars should be on the 5th page, marked with a small set of them." Henrik continued explaining. "Continue." I then say. "Read the excerpt, I have the dictionary." Henrik continues, opening the dictionary on the floor. "Okay.. "Núna er nótt. Við erum að horfa á stjörnurnar í dimmri og köldu nóttu árið 1913. Við sáum hóp af stjörnuþyrpingum sem stilltu sér upp og mynduðu stjörnumerki stækkunarglers. Við ákváðum að kalla það: "Sá stórkostlegi."" [It is now night. We are looking at the stars on a dark and cold night in 1913. We saw a group of star clusters lining up to form a magnifying glass constellation. We decided to call it: "The Magnificent One."] Time would then flashback into 1913 at the exact time period when the discovery was made. "Just position it a little further! we've almost found something amazing!" Human Henrik would then say. "Ой! I think I finally see something! It is really there!" Дедушка then shouted aloud. "Really!? Let me see it as well!" Henrik then shouted back, eager to see Дедушка's discovery. As he peered into the telescope, he saw something noone had seen before them. Something shiny. Something beautiful. They cheered, and cheered as the night grew brighter, applauding their own discovery that had taken them months in the making. "We finally did it Henrik! we finally found what we've been searching for after so long!" Дедушка then said in happiness. "Is too bad we have no camera. It is too beautiful not to see." Henrik says dissatisfied, as the flashback ends. "Wow... you read so nicely, you sure you haven't done this before? Henrik says, surprised by my reading abilities. "I guess I'm just a natural." I then replied. "..So what does it mean?" I then asked. "Well. It says that there was a discovery in a cold night in 1913. A cluster of stars aligned together to make a magnifying glass shape, and it was called "The Magnificent One."" Henrik finished explaining. "Huh.. it is very strange.."

Huh! this is the longest chapter of them all so far! As we can see, Artiom and Henrik are making advancements in their research following their alliance. Who knows what'll happen next? Tune in next time!
