I scrambled to the ranch as fast as possible, trying to find the professor. I burst in the building frantically, I need to tell her-
I turned around and there she was, "I heard rumors about a new Interloper sighting-"
The professor thought on this for a second.
"How did you come to find this out?"
"Hey professor," a casual voice calls out from the other room, Rocker saunters in looking at his watch, "people are saying there's a new Interloper sighting at Lexlie Ruins."
"Squakler?" The Professor raises an eyebrow at me. My cheeks turn red.
"W-Well you see-" The professor's glare does not dull at my words trying to escape.
"I think this is a legit source, Professor."
"I didn't even realize Lexlie had ruins in them." She turns to Rocker.
"Well that's the thing," Rocker explains, "Nobody did until just the beginning of this week."
"Why that is interesting, thank you for bringing this to my attention, Praline." The Professor started walking toward her office.
"Heyyy-" Rocker complained. Hesitantly, I follow Professor Spruce and Rocker back to her office.
When I walk in, the professor was mindlessly leaning back in her chair staring at the ceiling, while Rocker glanced between the computer screen and his watch.
"We don't-" the two started saying at the same time. They gave each other a look, and the professor spoke up, "We have no idea where the ruins are."
"Ya, it's hard to tell when it's so big." Rocker mentions. I peeked at the huge sand tan blob painted on the screen. It looks like the closest civilization to it are towns dotting the coast at the edge where the desert meets the ocean, and even less towns that inhabit the desert, likely used as trading posts.
"Have any of these people geo tagged their location when posting these?" I asked. Rocker looked up at me, and then back to his watch and speedily tapped on it.
"There...... does seem to be one actually." Rocker informs us.
"Where??" The Professor sits up in her chair.
"Well I doubt it's the exact location, but the location they tagged was Kersoma City.
"Kersoma...?" The Professor leans forward in her chair back on the computer, "Right here?" The Professor circles her mouse around Kersoma City.
"It could still be anywhere around that radius-"
"Unless we ask the person directly." Rocker started typing again.
"Give me the contact info, I can make it sound more official." The Professor demanded.
"Uh huh, sure." Rocker nods sarcastically, "Sent." He confirms after a few more taps on his watch.
"Dear..." the professor confidently said out loud, until she had to look at the contact info, "Barley, I hope you have been having wonderful travels. Our team has noticed you posting some new kind of Interloper on Sqackler, and I the head researcher at Velosonia Ranch, would like to inquire further about what you found. Hoping for your swift reply, Professor Veronica Spruce." The Professor pushes back from her desk and presents the final letter to us. Without objection, the professor sent off the email to Barley.
