Eca decides to stay (for now). She begins preparing an application for a different grant scheme - a Ring Grant. She is joined on this new adventure by a group of people with different powers. One is very strong, one has a heightened sense of vision being able to see really small things and one can predict the future. Together they make the Fellowship of the Ring. The excited fellowship friends integrate their complementary powers and prepare for the start of their fascinating journey. The Ring application is due at the end of the northern summer (like many schemes).
The summer is now hectic. Not only with the fellowship of the Ring but also with field modules to the Arctic and conferences to attend in two different countries. She also has a student visiting from Australia to use her magic boxes.
Parallel to this adventure mist is forming as new ideas begin condensing out of the ether for future journeys on other project ideas.
But focus! The Fellowship of the Ring get their application in! Will they pull it off and get this Ring grant or will they fail…
