Reprieve

The restriction has been modified as we continue our "Period of Reflection."  I am now free to move about the island with restrictions on off-installation activities and a strict curfew.  Fortunately, the restrictions and curfew will have little effect on my research efforts; thus, the project resumes!  Our status will be reviewed regularly, and as long as SOFA personnel conduct themselves properly, we will in a step-wise function be granted more of our original liberties until we return to status quo (no restrictions).  

I am pleasantly surprised to see our lock-down end early.  I only hope that events over the last month have not injured local relations to the point that they are detrimental to research.
