Eldermere's Notes From The Dam

Following the integration of the fourth water wheel, energy output has increased in line with projected performance expectations. However, the improvements may not suffice to meet operational targets.

I am slowly but surely coming to the conclusion that our efforts here may be in vain after all. Furthermore, recent water quality samples have raised concern.

We've charted significantly elevated levels of suspended solids. No microscopes were involved in these initial findings — Anyone who isn't entirely blind could tell with a simple visual inspection.

The sample has been submitted for laboratory analysis.

As an interim measure, I plan to install a temporary filtration system to reduce the potential impact on operations. Long-term planning remains pending until the laboratory results reveal the composition of the sample.

Regretfully, it appears that my genius remains misunderstood.

My creation is clearly superior in a multitude of ways. It can jump-start machinery in the blink of an eye, marking a perceivable improvement over any other currently known initiation procedure! Additionally, its precision and ability to concentrate electricity are unprecedented.

The others don't seem able to follow my logic. Perhaps I should've made myself clearer to them... They claim this wand is not handy; that the trigger does not lie well in the hand — they simply cannot be serious. The tool is perfectly shaped for its intended purpose, and there is no need for it to "feel" appropriate during handling.

I see that I ought to explain the concept of telekinesis once more.

Nevertheless, I suppose I'll store it in the hallways for now. A tool that remains unused is an utter waste of space.
