Team Three has been moving a lot more than Teams One and Two. This is expected. The members that have left Team One and Two to go to the outpost have been making regular updates and their progress is steady.
The duchy of Wolvenfang has been doing very well so far. In small-but noticeable-waves the people move one way or the other. Some nobles have been making plans and one church in particular has been recruiting because of the undead. However, no large movements have been made.
One wonders what is happening with this undead invasion? Is there one, really? What does the word invasion mean to those who claim this as such? I don't doubt the severity of the undead or the risks one takes by being near them but as it is...as it is the science behind it is lacking for now.
But I am sure that is only for now. Team Three has been making good progress, as I've mentioned. Every day they report of the town's movements and feelings and that is enough to keep this investigation going. Now that some from Team One and Two join it should move along more smoothly.

Results of Frostbite Survey
As mentioned previously; I set out alone to visit Wolvenfang's winter event Frostbite. While there I observed but I also did a small questionnaire. In total I was able to question about 30% of the attendees to this fine event. Below I list the questions asked as well as the Mean and the Mode to each.
1) Have you ever been in contact with the undead?
Mean: 6.24 Mode: 10
2) Has anyone you know ever been in contact with the undead?
Mean: 7.88 Mode: 10
3) How much do you think the invasion effects you?
Mean: 4.96 Mode: 1 and 4 tied
4) How involved were you in the last invasion?
Mean: 5.4 Mode: 1
5) How big of an issue are rodents in your house?
Mean: 2.08 Mode: 1
6) Over the last few weeks have food/water tasted off?
Mean: 2.76 Mode: 1
7) Do you have contact with animals on a day-to-day basis?
Mean: 6 Mode: 10
8) How often do you find yourself needing to visit a healer?
Mean: 2.84 Mode:1
I realize that 30% is but a small sample. However, I wanted to keep myself as inconspicuous as possible. Of the individuals I interviewed only one seemed really concerned about who I was and only two others asked for my name as way of greeting. Something is to be said about their trust, that is for sure.
These results will be added to the information Team Three has already been able to gather.

On Seperation
The selected members of Teams One, Two and Four have left. In total there are six of them going. This leaves thirty four of us in the Main Base [MB]. That takes a good chunk out of who is in the MB. We will have more space, which is always nice. If things continue as planned, we will need it as the next phases continue.
Team Three's progress is the most constant as of late-though this was expected. As they move to integrate people into the town they spread themselves out. There will also be key players in the outpost but it is prudent that we gain the trust of those citizens we hope to observe. I got word just today that one of the team was able to secure constant lodgings in the local inn; The Wolf's Den. This will make him more privy to the gossip and information traveling about town.

A New Division
There is to be a new division made amongst the teams. Team One and Two [Ecology/biology and meteorology/kinesiology respectively) will have two of their members (each with a Team Four/security individual) head out for Team Three's outpost. There, they will make efforts to blend in with Wolvenfang and walking throughout and amongst the edges of, will collect data relevant to their cause.
Team Three has gone into their next phase; they will soon be integrating themselves into the community even further. Over the next week they will be obtaining positions that will help themselves gather information. More on that to come.

Discoveries from Team One
Team One have already impressed myself and the IHS; but there is more. Over the last week they have uncovered some very interesting things. There are two main points of interest that I would like to mention here; time lapses and relativity.
After through testing, my team was able to put some numbers down to the undead samples. From the moment we tagged the bodies/parts the group had been dead for two to four weeks. This means that four weeks prior to our finding them, some of these cadavers were made undead. Or at least the life had gone out of the humans they once were.
Along with this information it seems as though the team have been unable to distinguish any difference between the undead cadavers and living or dead human samples. By our accounts there is absolutely no difference between one and the other.
I wonder about this last point...always more testing to be done, however! Maybe, with a live sample, we could get more information..?

Just got back from my mission
It is as the title suggests. I have been back in the cave [which just doesn't sound right yet] for maybe an hour. My weekend went as such;
~Left to rendezvous with Team Three
~Went over the plan and readied everything
~Left early on Saturday, heading out in scattered groups
~Entered the Frostbite facilities
~Gathered research materials
~Observed
~Left Frostbite, returned to Team Three
~This morning I departed Team Three to return here, the Main Base [MB]
Here at MB there have been some breakthroughs with the studies. I will get to that and to my research/what I was looking for at Frostbite throughout the week.

My First Solo Mission
Actually, the title is incorrect. In my early years at the IHS, after training was done, I did participate in a few solo missions. Those were a long time ago, though. Since I climbed the ranks I've been more of an organizer of individuals or groups; a leader. Therefor, working on my own has a sense of newness to it.
Tomorrow I leave Teams one, two, four and five to join up with Team three. They, having moved freely under the eyes of Wolvenfangers for some time, are familiar with their ways, their customs. Some of them will also be in Wolvenfang for this weekend but I am the only one attending the event. Through means of trading they have gathered a few clothing items and have gotten the exact whereabouts of the events. Although excited for the change of scenery, I admit I am also a bit nervous.
