Text box in "An Unwelcome Visitor" has a small, easy-to-miss typo.

Themis - "He works diligently to master interment, that he might deliver the creations back to their cages by his own hand. I thought it best to give him time to hone his craft."
Interment is the act of preparing a body for burial.
InterNment is the act of imprisoning someone.
Interred (past tense of Inter) is actually "Buried". Interment is the act (or ritual) of burying and not "preparing a body for burial".
Could it be that the failed creatures have actually been interred?
The journal at that point says :
"Professor Claudien can scarcely contain his excitement as he informs you that the crystal has guided him to signs of another such memory repository that yet exists in the present day. He hastily departs to search for it, but not before asking you to make sure no further danger has visited Pandæmonium. A somewhat miffed Nemjiji, however, suggests first scouring the archives of Elpis for information on the failed creations interred within, that you might gain the upper hand in any future encounters."
"Inter" definitely seems like the better thematic choice for the setting. They are effectively buried away in what seems to be an underground facility, and in any case never to see the light of day except when occasionally "exhumed" for research.
