As luck would have it, I’ve spent some time out where our next Sebitti lies! Yes, I know, quite a dangerous place, but for the sake of research, I am willing to go quite anywhere. I believe I’ve made quite a few personal breakthroughs in the field of forensic entomology during my time there. The flies and maggots devour things so fast you can study multiple bodies in a day! Though, yes, therein lies the concern of it. The flies don’t just eat dead bodies; they’ll strip the flesh off of anything—pure buzzing embodiments of gluttony.
To safely enter, we must create an incense salve that keeps the flies at bay. Though it’s not just the flies that are the trouble, there are other insects as well—centipedes, ants, termites, beetles, mantises, thrips, hornets, earwigs—I could go on. The incense will only keep the worst of the flies away, giving us enough room to breathe while we avoid the many other horrible droning, fluttering, and screeching pests. In that spirit, traveling here in at least a pair is best!
I asked Dover, seeing as he was so eager to tag along for the other two Sebitti retrievals. He said, and I quote, “Hell no, I’m not going to that miserable place! Good luck chump.” Such a shame… It would’ve been interesting to see if the bugs were attracted to Dover’s unique citrusy odor. And when did Dover start calling people “chump?” Regardless, I’ll need a willing volunteer or two. Unfortunately, my research assistants from my last visit are probably still there, picked clean. Not to dissuade anyone, of course!
