Discovery of an Orb

[thebigJA]

This post relates to a note you find in the game, so, I guess it could be considered a SPOILER.


Anyway, the note entitled Discovery of an Orb seems to have a contradiction. At the beginning of the letter, Agrippa states that the most amazing thing happened to him this past summer. He then goes on to recount his discovery of an orb, and its subsequent loss. At the end of the letter, however, he claims that "ten years" have passed since that day.

Which is it? Or have I missed something in the body of the letter which explains the discrepency?

(I'm actually at that point in the game, so please no spoilers for anything past it )
