Away and back again

During the summer, I'd been spending a lot of time studying the radioactive waste sample I'd traded some Sons of Ether for earlier. I suspected, if the local werewolves were going to be headed to Hanford eventually, they'd need protection against radiation. I was getting pretty good at shielding against and redirecting radiation by the end of summer, so I started experimenting with transmuting radioactive energies into other forms of energy: light, sound, kinetics, magnetism, gravity, etc. And then I experimented with /erasing/ radiation via the use of high levels of Prime magick.

Long story made short, I had to emergency teleport to outside Pavel's cave, yell for help, and he managed to prevent me from dying horribly. But I spent many, many months bleeding off radiation about half a mile away from his cave for the rest of the year. I killed everything that came within 10' of me, so it was best to stay in the desert and isolated. I ended up getting to study myself, with the occasional visit to Pavel so he could treat me for radiation sickness.

Fortunately, that's all in the past now and I'm fully recovered. I have had more cancer in the past four months than an entire cancer ward. I owe Pavel big-time. He has lots and lots of tass that's going to be headed his way this year. And that means heading back to St. Claire to harvest from my nodes.

Sure, it was a good learning experience, but there are clearly much, much, much better ways to learn.
