The Baron goes out to the shed and finds it not as expected. The shed is rather hi-tech and brightly lit and from waist height to the top of the wall is lined with tiny polycarbonate vials, thousands of them.

There are a number of different labels on the different vials (and there are five of each) but the most notable of the thousands present ones are

Five person ice-vehicle
Hot air balloon (three persons)
Emergency rations
Defensive items
Yaught
Scout drone

There are also numerous ones labelled with names similar to the different trees mentioned in the ledgers.

At the other side of the room there are three small satchels which all contain two bottles of liquid (one labelled reducer, one labelled restorer) and a tiny durable plastic storage system which could hold 30 pea sized items each.

The bags are have the words Hank Ps Ultimate storage stitched onto the lid. A small piece of paper in the bag states will not work on animals, do not use in enclosed spaces, do not mix solutions

Frank flies over the woods, the fact it is still dark makes it difficult to see in general, but he simply follows the trail in the snow back through the night, wary to remain above ground level - the whispering keeping its distance from the glowing electricity form.

After tracing it back a while he finds the point where the Sucker vanished - all the other jumped over one of the ledges but somehow the Sucker never came down. The ledge seems to extend right round this side of the mountain, and looks like it represents the river level in the distant past. However, there is no sign of a struggle, and the only thing strange is that above a small part of the ground he suddenly feels violently sick, nothing physical but just everything seems more claustrophobic with an intense feeling of wrongness. There is no sign as to the fate of the fish.
