I've taken refuge beneath a tower on the western bluff. I've tried to observe the differences between the nearby large and small extractors. The smaller towers appear to have weak points that could be exploited by air, where the larger extractor seems fortified against conventional methods of attack and might require a more indirect means of assault. Perhaps the larger pool feeds the extractor? Or it needs to be fortified because of the greater resources it feeds on? They appear organic, but it's unclear if they are grown or simply placed by the Kryptis. Frankly, I've had a hard time with any further analysis—there is a cacophony in the tower above, and at first I thought that perhaps I'd stumbled across an escape route. The lordling above, an apprentice of some sort, ceaselessly rattles on about creating a portal to—of all places—the Wizard's Tower! I came to realize in short order that the chance of this self-important novice achieving such a feat was nil. My hopes were dashed and my thoughts addled from his carrying on. I will move to the northeast in search of a way out of this predicament—or, if nothing else, to report on any significance the area may have. —Operative Selly
