The Thaylen vacuum tube.

A cracked diamond
affixed to the end
might give the exact

A fabrial pump removes the remaining air.

The rhythms cause patterns in the sand, different patterns for the
different kinds of light. There must be an answer of some kind here,

Undertext:

Voice of Lights.

The tones are
becoming easier for me to hear. I recognize the
tones of the different kinds of light and struggle to hear if there is something more.

Undertext:
Your research has yielded great fruits. There was a time I thought it impossible for one
of your kind to hear the rhythms. How could I have anticipated the magnitude of what
you have kept hidden from me? I fear I have underestimated you and your kind.
