audio | callsign TN811N | DAY 21
I was outside early this morning. The rain stopped so I went to go see if there was severe damage.
There was some weird ass light out there for a minute or two. Looked like a laser. Had a little bit of sputtering going on so maybe whatever made it is kinda messed up. Still, what the hell is a laser doing here? Are there satellites to worry about?
[ Ah, right, hold on. Senku-sensei might have to give some context. ]
If you don't know what a laser is, it's a word from an acronym: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Basically it's a really bright ass, concentrated beam of light. This one was huge, came from the sky, I think.
Satellites are machines that orbit the earth. If you need a rundown on what that means, I can do that, but I wouldn't say it's entirely relevant. But I'd give a lot for a real telescope right now.
[ He guesses he'll have to MAKE ONE then, but anyways! ]
Anyone else see something like this, or is it just near the airfield?

I was stuck inside entertaining kids.

It was out on the water, not inland.
no subject
And kids get antsy after being stuck inside for days.
Regardless, which direction out on the water?
no subject
Southwest. I'm really really good at figuring out distances but even I'm not sure exactly how far. Maybe something about it is screwing up my perception.

Regardless, doesn't sound like the giant fuck-off laser was centered on the Glencolans' island.
Implying there's additional shit of significance out there in the ocean.
[After all, why would random giant lasers just be striking down in random unimportant places?]
This bears investigation, in my opinion.
no subject
We're going to go out on our raft sometime soon when shark guy gets back here. I was thinking of heading southeast to see about getting to the Glencolans' island. We'll probably get ourselves killed or something, but how else are we gonna know where the boundaries are here?
If the raft survives, we can try investigating that light too.
