Personal Journal of Kurlund. Universe 117. Entry 219.

We have been taking full advantage of our time before the departure of the first watcher teams out into the expanding universe. Once that happens, much of our time will be dedicated to reviewing reports sent back by the watchers. My research team wasted no time in compiling and sifting through all known research referencing how the universe functions. From there, we were split into focus groups for each type of fundamental measurement.

It took hundreds of thousands of years to test and validate old testing protocols and data sets, but we have identified the top 3 most likely routes for predicting space folding. The next phase of the plan is to design and fabricate monitoring stations. These small facilities will continuously compile data on spacetime properties known to impact folding. Having tested and catalogued most all events that can measurably impact the targeted properties, we will be able to identify anomalies in the data that could be due to the existence of other universes.

Unfortunately, I was not selected to be a part of the maintenance/data recovery teams for our monitoring stations. I will instead be responsible for analyzing collected data, scouring for any sign of aberrations. For now, my research time will be dedicated to the construction of our data stations,. Once they are sent out into the universe we may finally find out if our universe is alone.
