Late June - Early August (5 Aug 2008)

Aileen Reid keeps a journal detailing the excavation process. She mentions their difficulties getting the magical tools to function properly, which causes her to decide to use mostly muggle tools. She talks about the mysterious cave-ins and illnesses plaguing her crew. When they uncover the Pharaoh's chamber on July 20th, by that point morale is very low and a few of the crew members are becoming even sicker.

On August 5th, one of the crew members dies and the project was immediately cut off. Aileen was sent home, taking these items with her.

Aileen's Research Log with Aileen Reid

I should be happier about our accomplishments, yet there's this... feeling I get. A hunch that something is wrong. The very air we breathe in the tomb is thick and cloying with dark magic. It's making our hearts heavy, makes it hard to even smile. Fights and arguments break out more often. Sometimes I think the crew resents me. I don't know why. I've been as careful as I can about every chamber, every warning and curse, every artifact we've come across. Even with pressure from news reporters and my project manager, I've proceeded carefully and kept the integrity of the site and its discoveries.
