Gethrand's Notes - 1st Entry is a note found in a lectern in the Hidden Laboratory.
It is unclear why the Aetherials are so interested in tissue preservation. One of my colleagues has posited that they may intend to use human corpses as vessels for possession when they bring more of their kind into our realm.
Wagon loads of corpses continue to stream in day and night. The sheer quantity is staggering and I begin to suspect that they are not merely executed criminals as we've been told.
