Subject: Ozuma's missing

URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT: The following is an automated message.

Nature of Emergency: Newcomers, and no sign of Ozuma. Possible mental manipulation.

We've got confirmed newcomers in the altar room, and they're reporting that Ozuma isn't there. They're also reporting seeing memories that aren't their own.

I think we've got Queenly shenanigans in play. Can we get a strike team to the Altar Room, in case we're going to get a follow up visit by shadows?

July 3

[She has one for him earlier on, upon an extensive sweep of the altar room.]

I found a bedroll tidied away. Ozuma would be the only one who could sleep out here, but it doesn't look like he did last night.
There's some trinkets scattered near the same area, as well, like they were knocked over. Either he left in a hurry, or there was a struggle.

[Rin leans towards a struggle, but objectively either theory still stands with this little to go off of.

Her other check-ins, when they come in, are efficient: to the point and business-like, not wasting time with pointless details. A list of the rooms she checked, without finding anything. The final check-in of the night states she will space her messages to every six hours, unless finding other evidence.

So it continues. She re-checks certain areas, Ozuma's particular haunts that Colin listed most often. But it's starting to look like the trail has gone cold, aside from the site in the altar room. Rin tells him as much in one check-in, late on July 5, but that starting the next day she'll be trying something else.]
