During her travels, Prymaat occasionally took some time to visit other scientists and to give lectures on one of her specialties, the cranial mass in conical craniums. This is the first letter that Prymaat sent to us. In hindsight, it is clear from the tone of the letter that she was not being held hostage by research thugs. However, at the time the letter was received and forwarded to the Arabidopsis Secret Service, the situation was still viewed with suspicion since Prymaat had not yet made any contact with Beldar and Connie.
