DIARY TEXT:
Session 456.
Monday 5 October 1998.
During our session on Monday 5 October we started with Manu’s new format for the "Alice" video experiment. Nobody sat in front of the mirror and there were now no candles behind the curtain. The video camera had been moved forward, and was pointing directly into the mirror. The fifteen minutes initial meditation round the central table, which had just one large candle burning on it, was followed immediately afterwards by total darkness.
Manu explained that the TDC communicator at the previous sitting had been one of our "stellar friends". He confirmed that these friends were not able to hear us physically, but could link into our thoughts in order to receive our responses. He therefore asked us to ensure that we kept our thoughts spiritual! It was felt that the team were once again optimistic about a good result on the video film.
This was confirmed afterwards when we played it back, which meant that we had now had five, good, positive video results in five sessions! The fully animated image this time appeared to be of a large planet (which we were unable to recognise), together with two smaller ‘moons’ (one of these white in colour) to its left. The camera panned across the image.
There were brief communications from Emily and James. Shortly after the video camera clicked off (forty-five minutes into the session), we once again had a good loud TDC voice communication from the same "stellar friend" who had spoken to us at the previous sitting. This was even clearer than we had previously witnessed. Diana and Alan both lost their trance states, and were therefore able to fully listen to the TDC/germanium communications again.
The voice once more sounded as though it was coming - in echoey fashion - from an airport or a railway tannoy system, and again suggested a vague hint of a female communicator who spoke in robotic fashion. This time, the communications (from another dimension) started with a sort of "gurgly"/rushing water sound.

ARCHIVAL NOTES:
This diary entry was recorded shortly after the conclusion of the session to preserve the most accurate immediate recollections of the phenomena and communications received. This session occurred during the final weeks of the experiment, when the focus had shifted almost exclusively to TDC and Alice video phenomena.
The description of the TDC voice as sounding like a "railway tannoy" is a consistent motif in Scole's electronic voice research. The communicator with the "tannoy voice" via the Edison TDC device was identified during a different session as Alayhurak of the "Star Brotherhood". This retrospective identification clarifies why the entity remains unnamed in the primary diary record for this session. Furthermore, the instruction to maintain "spiritual thoughts" underscores the importance of the "experimenter effect" in this work, where the mental harmony of the group acts as a functional component of the interdimensional link.
This session marks a significant technical evolution in "Project Alice" as the requirement for sitters to be positioned in front of the mirror was removed. This shift from a psychomanteum-style setup to a direct electronic-visual link suggests the spirit team had achieved a self-sustaining energy field within the optical circuit.
The appearance of planetary imagery (a planet with two moons) aligns with the overarching narrative of the late-1998 sessions, which focused on revealing interdimensional landscapes and "stellar" environments.
