Our initial experiment produced no results. The helm did not change in temperature when I donned it, nor did it grant me a vision as it did Du Verre. While I am disappointed with this outcome, I am not dissuaded from the second portion of my experiment.

Du Verre has registered further concern over continuing. He tells me that while I wore the artifact, he heard a persistent buzzing sound and felt as though the tent had filled with heat and steam, like a sauna. I reassured him that it is simply a matter of adjusting to this climate, as the temperatures have risen slightly every day we have been here. He is not convinced, but he will be.
