I am having serious difficulties with recruitment in this phase. Records show that there were similar lulls in previous phases; especially those during Egdrish's time. However, for such a relative novice as myself, this is very discouraging. I am beginning to understand how so many of my forefathers could have committed the ultimate crime.

Before long I may begin taking antidepressants. T. Rye's bleak images do not improve my mood.
