In the night of Umzulkuwana's apotheosis, frantic messages are carried by deep water current between the Intulo city-states of the Salt Sea - underseas Amanzi-powered drums powering the anxious thunderings
<span class="mu-i">WARNING. WARNING. ANOMALY SOUTHWEST. </span>
As the messages fly, the triangulations begin by the Intulo magisters; salamander-men who have given up their lives for the pursuit of knowledge above all. The junior staff scratch their heads at the data, pull their seniors into frenzied late-night debates. By midnight, Alagbara, most ancient of these venerable magisters, is awakened without delay by his trustworthy assistant. Scarfing down a bowl of fried insect and fertilized Intulo egg, he listens patiently to his second in command recite the data signatures from lake-reed parchment. Snatching the data himself, he sends them scurrying so that he can better ponder the implications.
Could there be any connection to the increasing frequency of the great geothermal vents to the southwest? The anomaly seems to have been in the same general proximity. But never before has such a large amandla-disturbance been tied to geothermal activities...
Hmm - the answer will come in time. He finds himself in his study - with a thought, he activates the amandla-powered lights, glowing warmly, and begins to record his thoughts as he systematically analyzes the data. With an errant thought, he composes a message to his just-barely-junior counterpoint, across the Salt Sea. Alagbara would normally scoff at the prospect of conferring with an aestronomer, but a different perspective may be needed here...
