(05/20 12:01:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: hm, quite probably
(05/20 12:01:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: first off
(05/20 12:01:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: as I was saying before
(05/20 12:01:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: i’m looking for translators
(05/20 12:01:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: before it was just an abstract
(05/20 12:01:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: “First six logs”
(05/20 12:01:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: but…
(05/20 12:01:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: now we have the ‘www.rel.to/historydoc’ document
(05/20 12:02:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: put together wonderfuly by Ainia
(05/20 12:02:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: so,
(05/20 12:02:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: if anyone can speak any of the prominent cavern languages
(05/20 12:02:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: Italian, German, Russian, French, Dutch, AND Spanish
(05/20 12:03:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: Look, let’s just leave it as these main ones for the sake of brevity ok?
(05/20 12:03:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: There are a LOT of languages out there
(05/20 12:03:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: Heheh
(05/20 12:04:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: Anyways
(05/20 12:04:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: If you speak ANY of those languages as well as english fluently enough that you feel confident enough to do a translation job
(05/20 12:04:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Take a look at the rel.to/historydoc
(05/20 12:04:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: And see if you’re up for translating,
(05/20 12:05:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: Then if you’re up for the job
(05/20 12:05:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: Send me an email
(05/20 12:05:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: You can find it along with other contact info
(05/20 12:05:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: On the HN website’s contact us page
(05/20 12:05:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: and speaking of that website
(05/20 12:05:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: It is
(05/20 12:05:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: HeritageNight.wordpress.com
(05/20 12:05:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: :)
(05/20 12:05:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: And for the sake of brevity
(05/20 12:06:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: Would the owner of the snack truck head down to the class room.
(05/20 12:06:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: You forgot to unpack the egg salad sandwiches,
(05/20 12:06:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: and I’m sure the bahro would much appreciate it if you’d unwrap them for them?
(05/20 12:06:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: :)
(05/20 12:07:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: Okay
(05/20 12:07:09) moose 2′s bff: i bet they would
(05/20 12:07:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: lemme take a moment to gather my thoughts here
(05/20 12:07:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: Then we’ll start
(05/20 12:07:29) DimensionTravelerCalum takes a few deep breaths…
(05/20 12:07:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: It was a month after sharper had nearly brought disaster down upon us.
(05/20 12:08:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: We were all worried about the things phil had said before,
(05/20 12:08:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: And…
(05/20 12:08:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: We were even more worried for his sanity
(05/20 12:08:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: “Colors man.
(05/20 12:08:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: It’s all about the colors.”
(05/20 12:08:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: Phil was hood hopping,
(05/20 12:08:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: Playing around with the light garden buttons,
(05/20 12:08:43) DimensionTravelerCalum: Commenting about colors,
(05/20 12:08:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: And how “He” would like them.
(05/20 12:09:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: He made other off handed comments
(05/20 12:09:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: Stuff about his feet hurting
(05/20 12:09:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: (he wore no shoes)
(05/20 12:09:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: And other odd lines that didn’t even make sense IN context
(05/20 12:09:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: But like the dream we all had had foretold
(05/20 12:09:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: “He was coming.”
(05/20 12:09:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: it’s now assumed these days
(05/20 12:10:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: That Phil was talking about the guilds,
(05/20 12:10:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: The five guilds of many colors,
(05/20 12:10:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: And how they would be necessary for things to continue on wards,
(05/20 12:10:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: The “he” thing threw us off for quite a while though
(05/20 12:10:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: how we should listen to “Him”
(05/20 12:10:58) DimensionTravelerCalum shakes his head
(05/20 12:11:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: Phil is a mystery
(05/20 12:11:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: Even now.
(05/20 12:11:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: Looking back
(05/20 12:11:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: It all makes sense
(05/20 12:11:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: But to us then
(05/20 12:11:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: The pieces just didn’t fit.
(05/20 12:11:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: Lots of pieces
(05/20 12:11:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: Plenty of them still missing even now.
(05/20 12:11:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: That’s just how life goes though
(05/20 12:12:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: and life marches on
(05/20 12:12:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: you see
(05/20 12:12:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: this week had several releases
(05/20 12:12:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: At the same exact moment
(05/20 12:12:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: The five guild pubs
(05/20 12:12:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: Now those shirts in Kirel served a purpose
(05/20 12:12:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: Owning a shirt led one to having access to that pub
(05/20 12:13:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: It…was an odd system
(05/20 12:13:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: Is
(05/20 12:13:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: i still don’t know how it works
(05/20 12:13:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: Maybe RFID tags in the shirts contacting the KI’s?
(05/20 12:13:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: Who knows.
(05/20 12:13:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: In any case,
(05/20 12:13:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: The release of the guild pubs was…
(05/20 12:13:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: Hectic
(05/20 12:14:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: The pubs were crowded
(05/20 12:14:16) DimensionTravelerCalum: So much so you could barely move
(05/20 12:14:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: They didn’t have population limits
(05/20 12:14:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: Atleast, I don’t think they did.
(05/20 12:14:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: My memory’s just a little faulty on that
(05/20 12:14:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: I never really used the things
(05/20 12:14:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: Still don’t.
(05/20 12:15:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: i just don’t fit into any of the established guilds.
(05/20 12:15:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: well
(05/20 12:15:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: Maybe greeters?
(05/20 12:15:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: But…
(05/20 12:15:16) DimensionTravelerCalum shrugs
(05/20 12:15:28) DimensionTravelerCalum: people found little use for the things
(05/20 12:15:38) DimensionTravelerCalum: ‘Cept for ‘guild meetings’ or what have you.
(05/20 12:16:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: On release there was a flood of people linking between Relto, Nexus, Kirel, Nexus and then the pubs and back to Relto again
(05/20 12:16:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: All of them wanting to see the different pubs
(05/20 12:16:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: Sure, i was one of them.
(05/20 12:16:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: Almost everyone was doing it.
(05/20 12:16:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: It was the ‘new’ thing to do for that week!
(05/20 12:16:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: Or
(05/20 12:16:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: So we thought.
(05/20 12:16:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Douglas Sharper, somehow,
(05/20 12:16:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: Still had Phil’s old relto book
(05/20 12:17:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: Back from those days when he had been thought dead.
(05/20 12:17:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: So, he did a release of his own
(05/20 12:17:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: Sharper put the bahro stone he had found
(05/20 12:17:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: into the niche in Teledahn
(05/20 12:17:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: This stone lead to a spy room
(05/20 12:17:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: Old and abandoned now that the DRC had a new HQ
(05/20 12:17:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: And in that spyroom was a pedestal
(05/20 12:17:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: With phil’s old relto on it.
(05/20 12:18:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: That place
(05/20 12:18:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: Has not changed
(05/20 12:18:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: for the most part.
(05/20 12:18:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: Phil
(05/20 12:18:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: …well
(05/20 12:18:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: When we all first saw the relto book in the olden days
(05/20 12:18:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: We assumed that the dark, rainy state of the place
(05/20 12:18:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: had to do with the fact that phil was dead
(05/20 12:18:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: And that the Relto was mourning it’s loss.
(05/20 12:19:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: Yeesha has said that the age reflects our souls,
(05/20 12:19:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: We were thinking it took it literally.
(05/20 12:19:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: when the bahro scream had reset everything
(05/20 12:19:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: This Relto…remained unchanged.
(05/20 12:19:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: It didn’t change.
(05/20 12:19:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: Not when everything else did
(05/20 12:20:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: So when you look at phil’s relto
(05/20 12:20:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: You see a piece of the past, living and breathing.
(05/20 12:20:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: Phil’s relto…well…
(05/20 12:20:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: We gathered there,
(05/20 12:20:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Looking it over,
(05/20 12:20:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: It got crowded.
(05/20 12:21:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: But between these six places to gather,
(05/20 12:21:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: We had ‘plenty to explore’
(05/20 12:21:28) DimensionTravelerCalum rolls his eyes
(05/20 12:21:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: Simple places,
(05/20 12:21:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: But they were places nonetheless
(05/20 12:21:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: This week however, is defined by the ages
(05/20 12:22:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: But by the people
(05/20 12:22:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: Michael Engberg, who had disappeared shortly after his daughter had died,
(05/20 12:22:28) DimensionTravelerCalum: Appeared in the city,
(05/20 12:22:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: Many thought that “he” was the one Phil talked of.
(05/20 12:22:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: But he wasn’t.
(05/20 12:23:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: He said that he had gone to search for Watson
(05/20 12:23:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: The DRC’s old leader
(05/20 12:23:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: And had found him…
(05/20 12:23:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: Whether he was the “He” or not the poor man didn’t know
(05/20 12:23:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: other, more rude, Explorers then began pestering him
(05/20 12:23:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: He left ae’gura,
(05/20 12:24:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: right as Marie Sutherland made her way there.
(05/20 12:24:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: I don’t know what happened to the man
(05/20 12:24:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: And I think this was the last recorded appearance of him.
(05/20 12:24:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: But, i assume,
(05/20 12:24:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: Like so many others,
(05/20 12:24:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: He left.
(05/20 12:24:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: And hasn’t returned.
(05/20 12:24:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: If he is still down here
(05/20 12:24:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: He is waiting in the shadows,
(05/20 12:24:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: Watching
(05/20 12:24:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: Keeping an eye on us.
(05/20 12:24:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: Despite this event,
(05/20 12:25:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: Douglas Sharper met with explorers in Watchers
(05/20 12:25:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: And said that he KNEW who Phil’s He was
(05/20 12:25:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: And had met him~
(05/20 12:25:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: But, the tease sharper was,
(05/20 12:25:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: He refused to say who it was.
(05/20 12:25:38) DimensionTravelerCalum: Only that we would know.
(05/20 12:25:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: So we waited a while
(05/20 12:25:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: And then Dr. Watson appeared in the city.
(05/20 12:26:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: He was collecting Nexus links!
(05/20 12:26:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: The man talked with explorers as he went about,
(05/20 12:26:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: Citing that he had been to releeshan,
(05/20 12:26:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: And that phil’s “he” ramblings most likely pointed towards him.
(05/20 12:26:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: He said that he had met Yeesha,
(05/20 12:27:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: But, beyond these things,
(05/20 12:27:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: There was not really much to talk about, just yet
(05/20 12:27:28) DimensionTravelerCalum: Watson said he was preparing a speech.
(05/20 12:27:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: And that he would deliver it.
(05/20 12:27:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: soon enough anyways,
(05/20 12:28:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: but the man was a welcome sight for explorers.
(05/20 12:28:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: all of the Five were back in D’ni,
(05/20 12:28:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: …now, i’d really like to quote the whole thing he said later on
(05/20 12:28:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: In a community room much like this
(05/20 12:29:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: But my notes are a bit scattered right now and I’d rather not waste your time trying to find the quotes :P
(05/20 12:29:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: so I think I’ll summarize the things that he said durring his next few appearances, and even some of the things I think I might have missed from the above appearance
(05/20 12:30:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: there are a lot of points here and there,
(05/20 12:30:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: Important things
(05/20 12:30:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: If you really want to know the whole thing, you should look up the old chatlogs
(05/20 12:30:28) DimensionTravelerCalum: Which i really recommend doing.
(05/20 12:30:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: But putting that aside,
(05/20 12:30:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: Dr. Watson told us that, after he had left the restoration in 2004,
(05/20 12:30:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: He had gone to K’veer,
(05/20 12:31:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: And had gone through the events detailed to us through the Cyan game, Myst V.
(05/20 12:31:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: He himself has not played the game
(05/20 12:31:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: So he cannot assure it’s whole accuracy
(05/20 12:31:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: But the basic events told…
(05/20 12:31:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: The tablet,
(05/20 12:31:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: The symbols,
(05/20 12:31:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: The ages…
(05/20 12:31:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: Everything was true in that regard
(05/20 12:32:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: He had freed the Bahro from their slavery
(05/20 12:32:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: And with that freedom, came choice
(05/20 12:32:31) DimensionTravelerCalum sighs and shuffles a few papers.
(05/20 12:32:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: he had returned to the surface after doing this
(05/20 12:32:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: And told Cyan the story
(05/20 12:32:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: And they made the game.
(05/20 12:33:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: The rest, as they say, is history,
(05/20 12:33:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: With regards to that particular tale,
(05/20 12:33:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: He said that the war between Bahro was everywhere
(05/20 12:33:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: i can’t recall if this next quote was by Watson or Phil exactly,
(05/20 12:34:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: But he confirmed that the skies of Releeshan were dark with their wings.
(05/20 12:34:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: there were that many.
(05/20 12:34:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: He said Yeesha was searching for something to end the war
(05/20 12:34:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: But had yet to find it
(05/20 12:34:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: And then he went into the Guilds
(05/20 12:35:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: He said that the guilds themselves had not been the cause of D’ni’s downfall
(05/20 12:35:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: But their Pride
(05/20 12:35:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: he warned that as long as we did not make the same mistakes
(05/20 12:35:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: We would be fine with the restored guilds.
(05/20 12:35:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: And that we would need them
(05/20 12:35:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Especially the Writers guild.
(05/20 12:35:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: To find new ages
(05/20 12:35:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: Where, one day,
(05/20 12:36:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: The key to ending the bahro war could be found.
(05/20 12:36:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: Looking back at all of this,
(05/20 12:36:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: I think you all know how well that has gone so far.
(05/20 12:36:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: No age written yet has yielded any kind of result.
(05/20 12:36:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: but,
(05/20 12:36:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: How do we not know we haven’t found it
(05/20 12:37:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: Because
(05/20 12:37:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: Really
(05/20 12:37:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: We have NO CLUE what it is we’re looking for.
(05/20 12:37:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: It could be some sort of portal leading to a no link zone
(05/20 12:37:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: A perfect prison for the leader of the dark side of the war,
(05/20 12:37:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: Or it could be a ring that would empower some chosen bahro with the powers of a mythical green sun
(05/20 12:37:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: Who knows
(05/20 12:38:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: I sure don’t.
(05/20 12:38:14) DimensionTravelerCalum shrugs
(05/20 12:38:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: Anyone got any ideas?
(05/20 12:38:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: No?
(05/20 12:38:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: Well,
(05/20 12:38:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: Im sure we’ll know
(05/20 12:38:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: When it’s time.
(05/20 12:38:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: But to get back on track
(05/20 12:38:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: Watson explained to us
(05/20 12:38:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: That the good Bahro of the war
(05/20 12:38:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: Had been deceiving us…
(05/20 12:39:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: For our own protection
(05/20 12:39:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: Our own sanity
(05/20 12:39:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: A grand deception, as he called it
(05/20 12:39:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: To keep the horror of war away from the cavern
(05/20 12:39:28) DimensionTravelerCalum: And maintaining this deception was costing them.
(05/20 12:39:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: They were fighting
(05/20 12:39:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: Dying
(05/20 12:39:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: For our ‘pleasure’
(05/20 12:39:40) moose 2′s bff: awwwww
(05/20 12:39:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: our ‘safety’
(05/20 12:39:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: I didn’t ask for it,
(05/20 12:39:48) <sniffle> Zyxia is sad
(05/20 12:39:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: I’m sure many of you didn’t either.
(05/20 12:40:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: This was one of the key factors
(05/20 12:40:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: That would lead into us leaving the following year
(05/20 12:40:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: If there was no-one in d’ni to protect
(05/20 12:40:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: maybe they could gain a upper hand?
(05/20 12:40:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: We have no idea how well out absence aided the war
(05/20 12:40:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: But…
(05/20 12:41:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: In a way, I think…
(05/20 12:41:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: We took Watson’s following challenge
(05/20 12:41:16) DimensionTravelerCalum: And went with it,
(05/20 12:41:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: Without even knowing how or why.
(05/20 12:41:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: He said to us
(05/20 12:41:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: challenged us
(05/20 12:41:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: “Be better than the D’ni were
(05/20 12:41:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: In terms of controlling our pride.”
(05/20 12:42:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: That is what made D’ni fall.
(05/20 12:42:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: A single man’s pride.
(05/20 12:42:33) DimensionTravelerCalum sighs
(05/20 12:42:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: I swear,
(05/20 12:42:38) Zyxia giggles
(05/20 12:42:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: How can we be better at controlling our pride if we can’t even control a single keyboard?
(05/20 12:42:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: And well at that??
(05/20 12:43:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: i…just…
(05/20 12:43:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: How?
(05/20 12:43:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: Well,
(05/20 12:43:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: That’s the problem with society.
(05/20 12:43:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: With people in general
(05/20 12:43:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: We have pride
(05/20 12:43:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: Egos
(05/20 12:43:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: That get in the way of bettering the world
(05/20 12:43:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: Greed,
(05/20 12:43:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: Envy
(05/20 12:43:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Some of these are members of what is called
(05/20 12:43:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: “The seven deadly sins”
(05/20 12:43:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: So…
(05/20 12:43:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: How do we best our pride?
(05/20 12:44:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: Better than the D’ni?
(05/20 12:44:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: That’s something even I won’t pretend to know
(05/20 12:44:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: But,
(05/20 12:44:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: I’ll give what Yeesha suggests
(05/20 12:44:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: Returning what was taken
(05/20 12:44:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: Not feeling proud for the things done
(05/20 12:44:35) DimensionTravelerCalum shrugs
(05/20 12:44:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: Some people find it hard to swallow.
(05/20 12:44:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: Even there are those who take back what they returned.
(05/20 12:45:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: I…i’m not sure how it helps us,
(05/20 12:45:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: But…
(05/20 12:45:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: I think in a way
(05/20 12:45:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: We are taking that challenge
(05/20 12:45:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: I look back over the last few years Here in D’ni,
(05/20 12:45:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: With events like Fun House
(05/20 12:45:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: And the all Guilds meetings,
(05/20 12:46:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: Not easy things to pull off,
(05/20 12:46:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: If we are all so proud?
(05/20 12:46:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: It took a lot of pride to be swallowed for the fun house events to become common place
(05/20 12:46:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: And fun!
(05/20 12:46:43) DimensionTravelerCalum: Things that we accept in the Cavern.
(05/20 12:46:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: Even if they are semi-random in appearance
(05/20 12:47:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: People love those events when they occur.
(05/20 12:47:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: The guilds meetings?
(05/20 12:47:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: You wouldn’t have those if each guild refused to work together.
(05/20 12:47:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: To share what they had done in the previous months,
(05/20 12:47:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: That takes a lot of pride to dismiss,
(05/20 12:47:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: Some people try to keep things under wraps because they feel like they’re better than others
(05/20 12:48:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: Look at the way things in politics go sometimes,
(05/20 12:48:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: But…
(05/20 12:48:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: To pull together?
(05/20 12:48:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: I think that’s one of the best steps.
(05/20 12:48:38) DimensionTravelerCalum: We’ve banded together since then
(05/20 12:48:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: We have so many things that we work on these days
(05/20 12:48:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: The “Minkata Shard”
(05/20 12:48:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: “TOC” “Gehn” “Deep Island”
(05/20 12:49:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: All places- separate instances that work towards common goals- That fold together into one product in the end.
(05/20 12:49:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: One final release.
(05/20 12:49:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: To look at all of these things coming together?
(05/20 12:49:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: Sure, we may split apart somewhat to do these things,
(05/20 12:49:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: But…
(05/20 12:49:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: Come on,
(05/20 12:50:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: We wouldn’t be where we are today if we didn’t stick together at the roots?
(05/20 12:50:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: It’s…
(05/20 12:50:09) Zyxia nods
(05/20 12:50:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: It’s how a tree grows
(05/20 12:50:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: A single trunk
(05/20 12:50:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: With many branches
(05/20 12:50:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: The D’ni have a tree in their mythology a lot,
(05/20 12:50:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: a Great Tree of possibilities
(05/20 12:50:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: That’s exactly what we explorers are
(05/20 12:50:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: branches of a tree
(05/20 12:50:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: With endless possibilities.
(05/20 12:51:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: And i’m sorry if I got off on a philosophical track here,
(05/20 12:51:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: But…
(05/20 12:51:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: Can anyone truly be deceived
(05/20 12:51:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: By anything,
(05/20 12:51:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: If they stick together?
(05/20 12:51:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: If, like that big giant tree,
(05/20 12:51:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: they grow together, and dismiss the posibilities of doom and gloom?
(05/20 12:52:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: I’m sure that’s how endings can never be written
(05/20 12:52:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: The tree grows
(05/20 12:52:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: And even if one tree dies
(05/20 12:52:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: It’s seeds remain,
(05/20 12:52:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: Somewhere
(05/20 12:52:28) DimensionTravelerCalum: Just waiting to grow their own trees.
(05/20 12:52:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: Endings are just beginnings waiting to be told,
(05/20 12:52:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: A wise man once said.
(05/20 12:52:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: So if endings can be written
(05/20 12:52:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: Whose to say
(05/20 12:53:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: That it’s not just the beginning of a new book?
(05/20 12:53:08) DimensionTravelerCalum bows
(05/20 12:53:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: Thank you all for coming everyone
(05/20 12:53:18) Zyxia claps her hands
(05/20 12:53:20) Tom(Samoth) claps his hands
(05/20 12:53:22) moose 2′s bff cheers
(05/20 12:53:22) T-Nav claps his hands

(05/20 12:53:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: The week
(05/20 12:53:30) moose 2′s bff claps her hands
(05/20 12:53:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: Not the book
(05/20 12:53:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: :P
(05/20 12:53:39) Tom(Samoth): wow… wonderfull speech, DTC!
(05/20 12:53:42) Zyxia: Thank you very much DTC :))
(05/20 12:53:43) DimensionTravelerCalum: The time where explorers left D’ni for a time
(05/20 12:53:45) Assuan cheers
(05/20 12:53:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: But they returned
(05/20 12:53:50) moose 2′s bff: great ending

(05/13 11:58:57) DimensionTravelerCalum yawns
(05/13 11:59:08) Tom(Samoth): Surely it will be another interesting story…
(05/13 11:59:09) Zyxia yawns
(05/13 11:59:16) DimensionTravelerCalum: first off
(05/13 11:59:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: Happy Mothers day to all the mothers out there
(05/13 11:59:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: :)
(05/13 11:59:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: In honor,
(05/13 12:00:00) Red Dwarf just fiddles
(05/13 12:00:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: The cookies out on the ayoheek table are heart shaped,
(05/13 12:00:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: And no, they are not left over from valentines day.
(05/13 12:00:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: the box’s best by date is next month so they SHOULD be fresh
(05/13 12:00:43) Lyyne: breakfast!
(05/13 12:01:16) DimensionTravelerCalum: …
(05/13 12:01:17) Zyxia: lol
(05/13 12:01:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: Bah, bahro are messing with us, I think
(05/13 12:01:25) Lyyne: protein
(05/13 12:01:34) Zyxia: it’s amazing what raisins can do
(05/13 12:01:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: I heard that one actually appeared in the city for a while earlier
(05/13 12:01:40) Vorlon: :)
(05/13 12:01:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Gave QUITE a scream
(05/13 12:02:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: guess he or she was just thanking their mother? Or something…
(05/13 12:02:07) Lyyne: scared the pants off Jacque
(05/13 12:02:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: Heh.
(05/13 12:02:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: Second, the website
(05/13 12:02:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: If you don’t know
(05/13 12:02:38) DimensionTravelerCalum: It’s heritagenight.wordpress.com
(05/13 12:02:39) Zyxia: did Jax do a rendition of flashdance?
(05/13 12:02:41) Fil: i second the website!
(05/13 12:02:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: Lol
(05/13 12:03:07) Red Dwarf: so that’s why she was a walking shirt
(05/13 12:03:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: The log will be up on the site later if you have to leave during the show
(05/13 12:03:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: Finally
(05/13 12:03:36) Zyxia: oh no… not my car again ….
(05/13 12:03:40) Zyxia: ugh
(05/13 12:03:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: would the owner of a black SUV please head to the parking lot?
(05/13 12:03:57) Zyxia: darn it – i left my lights on again
(05/13 12:03:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: You’ve parked next to a fire hydrant
(05/13 12:04:21) Zyxia: i needed a car wash !
(05/13 12:04:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: hehe,
(05/13 12:04:34) Fil got here by magic carpet
(05/13 12:04:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Well, with all this silly nonsense over with
(05/13 12:04:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: It’s time to begin
(05/13 12:04:53) Zyxia: yay
(05/13 12:04:56) Fil: i just roll it up and stuff it under the tent
(05/13 12:04:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: Heritage night as you may or may not know,
(05/13 12:05:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: Is an event to tell the tales of what came before
(05/13 12:05:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: It is through these events that explorers can learn of the events that define the cavern we now live in.
(05/13 12:05:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: One such event…
(05/13 12:05:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: Is the week we now call “Familiar Voices”
(05/13 12:06:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: In the month prior
(05/13 12:06:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: Douglas Sharper had gone into a trip to Noloben
(05/13 12:06:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: To do recon, so the DRC insisted,
(05/13 12:06:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: He had promised not to kill any Bahro,
(05/13 12:06:38) DimensionTravelerCalum: But we all had a feeling that he would.
(05/13 12:06:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: When Sharper returned
(05/13 12:06:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: He indeed had killed a Bahro
(05/13 12:06:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: But,
(05/13 12:06:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: He insisted,
(05/13 12:07:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: It had been Wheeley’s killer that he had shot at.
(05/13 12:07:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: He said he had spent time
(05/13 12:07:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: Observing their actions
(05/13 12:07:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: Determining how they worked,
(05/13 12:07:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: How they fought
(05/13 12:08:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: So, we were understandably upset
(05/13 12:08:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: Sharper had killed a Bahro,
(05/13 12:08:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: retribution would surely fall upon us.
(05/13 12:08:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: They were at war after all
(05/13 12:08:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: And a shot bahro is very different from a clawed one.
(05/13 12:09:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: Sharper’s actions had very nearly cost us our lives.
(05/13 12:09:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: Nobody was happy about it
(05/13 12:09:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: But sharper insisted he had shot at a bad one,
(05/13 12:09:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: that he had figured out which side was which
(05/13 12:09:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: He sarcastically remarked
(05/13 12:10:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: “It’s not like they have red and blue eyes.”
(05/13 12:10:10) Fil: another momentous Sharper snafu!
(05/13 12:10:16) DimensionTravelerCalum: but explorers…well
(05/13 12:10:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: Took him literally
(05/13 12:10:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: And incorrectly
(05/13 12:10:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: He had a not in there
(05/13 12:10:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: But they forgot it
(05/13 12:10:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: i’ll admit i got caught into the idea through the sheer progression of rumors
(05/13 12:11:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: But they don’t.
(05/13 12:11:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: They have blue eyes.
(05/13 12:11:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: All of them.
(05/13 12:11:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: Some may have red as a gene thing,
(05/13 12:11:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: Like how some humans have red eyes naturally,
(05/13 12:11:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: But generally
(05/13 12:11:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: They have blue eyes.
(05/13 12:11:45) Fil: that’s albinism
(05/13 12:11:56) Zyxia: my eyes go red when i cry
(05/13 12:12:01) Fil: sry
(05/13 12:12:04) Fil: sit
(05/13 12:12:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: well even so,
(05/13 12:12:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: Sharper had gone to Watchers pub to tell about his trip
(05/13 12:12:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: Explorers gathered to hear the tale,
(05/13 12:12:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: And then…
(05/13 12:12:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: Linking,
(05/13 12:12:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: For a moment i think
(05/13 12:13:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: Those there in watchers thought it was just someone else linking in through the nexus
(05/13 12:13:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: But…
(05/13 12:13:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: in the middle of the room
(05/13 12:13:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: On the imager table,
(05/13 12:13:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: Were Bahro
(05/13 12:13:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: Three of them
(05/13 12:13:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: Two living…
(05/13 12:13:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: One..
(05/13 12:13:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: One dead.
(05/13 12:13:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: The one sharper had shot.
(05/13 12:13:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: Sharper ordered everyone to get back
(05/13 12:13:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: And to not touch them,
(05/13 12:14:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: They were seeming to mourn their fallen comrade,
(05/13 12:14:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: And a friend it was,
(05/13 12:14:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Blue eyes, an explorer noted
(05/13 12:14:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: “It was a good Bahro!”
(05/13 12:14:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: He had no way of knowing how right he was,
(05/13 12:15:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: Considering that they all had blue eyes,
(05/13 12:15:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: His guess, based off of Sharper’s comment,
(05/13 12:15:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: Was entirely correct.
(05/13 12:15:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: We would later find out
(05/13 12:15:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: That Sharper HAD lined up a shot on a bad bahro
(05/13 12:16:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: The one that was Wheeley’s killer,
(05/13 12:16:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: But when he shot
(05/13 12:16:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: Another bahro
(05/13 12:16:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: A good one,
(05/13 12:16:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: Had jumped into the bullet’s path
(05/13 12:16:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: That bahro, be it a mother or a son or a father or a daughter,
(05/13 12:16:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: That bahro saved us all from Sharper’s mistake.
(05/13 12:17:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: The explorers feared escalation
(05/13 12:17:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: And this was it,
(05/13 12:17:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: Although from the friendly side
(05/13 12:17:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: Not the bad
(05/13 12:17:32) The Arbiter: Why is there a cone in the room?
(05/13 12:17:37) DimensionTravelerCalum shrugs
(05/13 12:17:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: Someone kicked it in?
(05/13 12:17:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: Ah, cones
(05/13 12:18:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: Such random things
(05/13 12:18:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: Small
(05/13 12:18:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: Orange
(05/13 12:18:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: Seemingly everywhere
(05/13 12:18:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: Gahreesen, the hoods,
(05/13 12:18:12) Fil: rubber
(05/13 12:18:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: Once in the City,
(05/13 12:18:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: Cones everywhere
(05/13 12:18:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: And,
(05/13 12:18:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: Very much like them
(05/13 12:18:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: After the Bahro in Watcher’s left
(05/13 12:18:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Bahro were everywhere
(05/13 12:18:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: in the city
(05/13 12:19:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: In Reltos,
(05/13 12:19:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: in Er’cana silos
(05/13 12:19:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: Every.
(05/13 12:19:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: Single.
(05/13 12:19:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: Place.
(05/13 12:19:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: Every instance.
(05/13 12:19:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: Bahro were linking in to normally private places,
(05/13 12:19:43) DimensionTravelerCalum: Startling explorers with their appearances
(05/13 12:20:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: Further more,
(05/13 12:20:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: There were the occasional Bahro linking into city rooftops
(05/13 12:20:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: These ones screamed.
(05/13 12:20:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: Much like the one heard today,
(05/13 12:20:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: Bahro were everywhere
(05/13 12:21:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: While the DRC warned explorers to be cautious
(05/13 12:21:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: They moved ahead with the planned age release of that week
(05/13 12:21:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: Well
(05/13 12:21:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: The first of two releases
(05/13 12:21:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: This was Kirel,
(05/13 12:21:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: The DRC’s old hood back in the prologue days
(05/13 12:21:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: And it had been retrofitted to become the center of the revived guild system
(05/13 12:21:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: The Guild of Greeters
(05/13 12:22:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: The Guild of Writers
(05/13 12:22:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: The Guild of Maintainers
(05/13 12:22:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: The Guild of Messengers
(05/13 12:22:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: The Guild of Cartographers
(05/13 12:22:26) Fil: the Guild of Pizza Makers?
(05/13 12:22:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: Heh,
(05/13 12:22:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: An unofficial one, perhaps
(05/13 12:22:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: But for now,
(05/13 12:22:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: These five guilds were now “Officially sanctioned”
(05/13 12:22:52) Fil: one can dream i suppose :)
(05/13 12:23:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: The DRC hoped that one day
(05/13 12:23:16) DimensionTravelerCalum: We would be doing what we already had been doing
(05/13 12:23:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: A bit more…professionally.
(05/13 12:23:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: Writing ages.
(05/13 12:23:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: Well
(05/13 12:23:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: I can tell you this
(05/13 12:23:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: Age writing may have picked up slightly,
(05/13 12:24:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: But any ages being “Officially allowed” were a long way away
(05/13 12:24:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: There are some BEAUTIFUL ages out there though
(05/13 12:24:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: some expansive swamps,
(05/13 12:24:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: Some crystalline pits,
(05/13 12:24:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: snow covered forests,
(05/13 12:25:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: giant planets in the sky of a desert world,
(05/13 12:25:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: Beautiful places,
(05/13 12:25:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: Some more benign than others,
(05/13 12:25:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: But beautiful places to behold.
(05/13 12:25:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: In the end though
(05/13 12:26:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: We wouldn’t be seeing the DRC approving any of these ages during the time we had in cavern.
(05/13 12:26:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: i’ll tell you one thing that did happen at this time though
(05/13 12:26:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: An explorer named Reteltee was being sought by the DRC
(05/13 12:26:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: To become the official guild supervisor.
(05/13 12:26:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: I don’t know what’s happened to Reteltee since then,
(05/13 12:27:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: Nor some of the other explorers who helped in some manner
(05/13 12:27:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: rils, for example, was an explorer who helped sharper investigate the Negilahn jungle at one point.
(05/13 12:27:48) Fil: People have a way of disappearing around here
(05/13 12:27:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: But I digress,
(05/13 12:27:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: Kirel was released
(05/13 12:28:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: And explorers were crowding the place
(05/13 12:28:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: It was a new place to hang out
(05/13 12:28:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: And to look around
(05/13 12:28:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: I happened to be there at one particular point
(05/13 12:28:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: just curious of the place
(05/13 12:28:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: And then
(05/13 12:29:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: Someone yelled out “BAHRO!”
(05/13 12:29:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: Yes,
(05/13 12:29:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: There was a Bahro in Kirel
(05/13 12:29:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: A small one, really
(05/13 12:29:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: No taller than I was if I remember right,
(05/13 12:29:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: The little guy was just popping around Kirel
(05/13 12:30:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: Playing with us.
(05/13 12:30:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: it was a game of tag
(05/13 12:30:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: we would run
(05/13 12:30:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: it would hide
(05/13 12:30:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: we were quiet about it of course
(05/13 12:30:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: We didn’t want more people coming in and scaring it off
(05/13 12:31:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: So we kept quiet about it’s appearance for a long while,
(05/13 12:31:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: Of course
(05/13 12:31:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: More explorers eventually came in
(05/13 12:31:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: It got crowded
(05/13 12:31:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: Hard to move without bumping into someone there
(05/13 12:31:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: For me
(05/13 12:31:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: I got pushed into a wall
(05/13 12:31:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: I probably would’ve broken my nose if the Bahro hadn’t appeared right in front of me.
(05/13 12:32:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: I just STARED at it for a moment
(05/13 12:32:07) Fil: !
(05/13 12:32:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: Blue eyes
(05/13 12:32:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: Small body
(05/13 12:32:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: Tilted head
(05/13 12:32:28) DimensionTravelerCalum: Then
(05/13 12:32:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: I backed away as fast as I could
(05/13 12:32:43) DimensionTravelerCalum: I’d just ran into a bahro
(05/13 12:32:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: Quite as LITERALLY as one can get!
(05/13 12:33:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: Well
(05/13 12:33:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: Let me tell you
(05/13 12:33:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: That encounter was the highlight of my time in cavern during the year 2007
(05/13 12:33:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: I’d like to meet that bahro some time
(05/13 12:33:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: Just to thank him.
(05/13 12:34:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: In any case,
(05/13 12:34:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: Eventually we explorers got organized
(05/13 12:34:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: We stopped running about like chickens
(05/13 12:34:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: And got gathered in a circle
(05/13 12:34:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: With all of us sitting down
(05/13 12:34:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: The Bahro appeared in the center
(05/13 12:34:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: Probably curious as to what we were doing,
(05/13 12:34:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: We weren’t chasing it any more,
(05/13 12:34:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: So what were we doing?
(05/13 12:35:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: It sat down to join us for a bit
(05/13 12:35:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: And then vanished,
(05/13 12:35:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: Never to be seen again
(05/13 12:35:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: I think it got bored by our cohesion
(05/13 12:35:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: We weren’t doing anything!
(05/13 12:35:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: I think the little thing was just looking to have some fun
(05/13 12:35:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: A game of tag.
(05/13 12:35:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: As only a Bahro can play it
(05/13 12:36:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: The age of Jalak Dador was released soon after that
(05/13 12:36:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: Jalak is a playground sandbox
(05/13 12:36:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: Not in the literal sense like Minkata however
(05/13 12:36:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: The things you can do in Jalak are quite limitless when you put your mind to it
(05/13 12:36:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: But, sadly
(05/13 12:37:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: Many explorers just don’t find the appeal in Jalak these days.
(05/13 12:37:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: if Carl Palmner, the founder of HN, were here,
(05/13 12:37:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: He would have tons to say on the matter
(05/13 12:37:43) DimensionTravelerCalum: You should see some of the things he’s done with the place
(05/13 12:37:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: One video he did of it just changing endlessly
(05/13 12:37:59) DimensionTravelerCalum shakes his head in astonishment
(05/13 12:38:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: It’s really something to see.
(05/13 12:38:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: As we toyed with Jalak
(05/13 12:38:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: And watched Bahro appear from place to place,
(05/13 12:38:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Someone else appeared,
(05/13 12:38:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: A shadow on the rooftops
(05/13 12:38:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: His KI ID read as
(05/13 12:39:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: ‘phend’
(05/13 12:39:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: Who the heck was that?
(05/13 12:39:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: Most explorers asked
(05/13 12:39:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: But for those who had been there in prologue
(05/13 12:39:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: Those who had been there to hear his words
(05/13 12:39:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: Recognized that name
(05/13 12:39:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: Phil, Phend, Henderson had returned.
(05/13 12:40:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: He was alive!
(05/13 12:40:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: How the heck was he alive!?
(05/13 12:40:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: the wall had collapsed
(05/13 12:40:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: His KI had been crushed
(05/13 12:40:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: How was he alive?
(05/13 12:40:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: The simple answer:
(05/13 12:40:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: Bahro.
(05/13 12:40:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: He had been saved by a bahro.
(05/13 12:40:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: He had a new relto book
(05/13 12:40:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: And…
(05/13 12:40:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: Was a LOT loopier than before.
(05/13 12:41:04) DimensionTravelerCalum shakes his head
(05/13 12:41:16) DimensionTravelerCalum: i can’t even begin to even TRY quoting him,
(05/13 12:41:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: he was just so…
(05/13 12:41:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: Off.
(05/13 12:41:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: He eventually linked down to the plaza,
(05/13 12:41:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: And was joined by two bahro…
(05/13 12:41:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: Who had jumped off of the same rooftop
(05/13 12:42:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: They’re quite the jumpers
(05/13 12:42:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: Have you seen them jump before?
(05/13 12:42:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: They just kind of…
(05/13 12:42:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: I don’t know how to describe it
(05/13 12:42:28) DimensionTravelerCalum: It’s bizarre to say the least.
(05/13 12:42:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: they’re fast too
(05/13 12:42:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: when they want to run
(05/13 12:42:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Boy howdy can they RUN
(05/13 12:42:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: Zoooom
(05/13 12:43:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: it’s something very odd to see,
(05/13 12:43:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: And for the explorers thee in Ae’gura
(05/13 12:43:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: Seeing phil side by side with two bahro?
(05/13 12:43:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: It must have been really bizarre.
(05/13 12:44:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: Looking back at the log
(05/13 12:44:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: phil was just going on about seemingly unrelated things,
(05/13 12:44:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: But i think he knew what he was talking about.
(05/13 12:44:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: Because when Sharper appeared…
(05/13 12:44:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: He knew things.
(05/13 12:44:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: He knew about the Bahro that had stopped Sharper from bringing destruction down upon us.
(05/13 12:44:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: He knew about Wheeley’s death.
(05/13 12:45:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: He…he knew things that we didn’t
(05/13 12:45:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: somehow he managed to convince sharper to cancel another trip to Noloben
(05/13 12:45:28) DimensionTravelerCalum: The war was coming to us.
(05/13 12:45:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: To the cavern
(05/13 12:45:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: To D’ni.
(05/13 12:45:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: There wasn’t anything we could do to stop it.
(05/13 12:46:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: So we sat there at the end of the week
(05/13 12:46:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: Wondering what we could do
(05/13 12:46:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: the Bahro had stopped appearing
(05/13 12:46:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: We were left with Jalak to toy with,
(05/13 12:46:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: And the war was coming.
(05/13 12:46:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: Destruction was coming.
(05/13 12:46:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: They were coming,
(05/13 12:47:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: things…
(05/13 12:47:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: All of these things from a dream were coming true
(05/13 12:47:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: And through it all, we had Phil’s familiar voice guiding us towards some unknown destination.
(05/13 12:47:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: He had once said that the journey took us where we needed to go.
(05/13 12:48:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: Ours was taking us forward,
(05/13 12:48:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: And forward…
(05/13 12:48:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: To something then unknown.
(05/13 12:48:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: so to conclude this night
(05/13 12:48:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: I’ll say this
(05/13 12:48:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Listen to the familiar voices all around us,
(05/13 12:48:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: The stones, the rocks, and walls,
(05/13 12:48:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: The people in our lives,
(05/13 12:49:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: Those no longer in them,
(05/13 12:49:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: Look and listen to these familiar voices,
(05/13 12:49:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: And you may just figure out where your journey will lead you
(05/13 12:49:27) DimensionTravelerCalum bows
(05/13 12:49:33) Minta claps her hands

(05/06 12:01:14) CandiColette: cool
(05/06 12:01:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: And some Chee’tos
(05/06 12:01:20) CandiColette: lol
(05/06 12:01:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: I’m sure you all know about the website
(05/06 12:01:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: But just for the log
(05/06 12:01:45) Heart: Cheet’os/dnitos the preferred Bahro snack
(05/06 12:01:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: It’s heritagenight.wordpress.com
(05/06 12:01:55) DimensionTravelerCalum grins
(05/06 12:02:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: And …
(05/06 12:02:05) DimensionTravelerCalum gets handed a piece of paper…
(05/06 12:02:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: What’s this?
(05/06 12:02:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: Hmm
(05/06 12:02:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: Seems someone’s left their boat untied down at the docks
(05/06 12:02:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: Would the owner of the boat tied in slot 1025 please go tie it down?
(05/06 12:02:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: It’s starting to drift out into the lake.
(05/06 12:02:44) Heart: Lol
(05/06 12:02:46) CandiColette: lol
(05/06 12:03:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: :)
(05/06 12:03:06) Fil: is that the one lying at the bottom?
(05/06 12:03:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: Finally
(05/06 12:03:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: I’d like to thank those of you who have donated over the last two weeks
(05/06 12:03:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: we’ve gotten the CavCon meter back up to 4!
(05/06 12:03:39) Heart claps her hands
(05/06 12:03:41) Philious sold his
(05/06 12:03:42) DimensionTravelerCalum cheers
(05/06 12:03:43) Heart: Need 5 though
(05/06 12:03:46) Iden0 claps his hands
(05/06 12:03:47) canadiangirl cheers
(05/06 12:03:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: True, but we’re out of the…
(05/06 12:03:54) Heart: I have NEVER seen it at 5
(05/06 12:03:55) DimensionTravelerCalum cues music
(05/06 12:03:56) GiGi. says hey
(05/06 12:03:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: “Danger Zone!”
(05/06 12:03:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: :P
(05/06 12:04:00) Heart: Yeah true
(05/06 12:04:08) DimensionTravelerCalum giggles at his little joke there…
(05/06 12:04:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: On that lighter note
(05/06 12:04:21) Fil cringes
(05/06 12:04:21) Elmer Thud has only ever seen 2 and 4
(05/06 12:04:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: I think it’s time we begin tonight’s HN,
(05/06 12:04:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: and speaking of lighter notes
(05/06 12:04:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: That’s exactly what this week was
(05/06 12:04:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: “A New Light”
(05/06 12:04:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: As it’s come to be called,
(05/06 12:06:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: ^^;
(05/06 12:06:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: Indeed
(05/06 12:06:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: Lighter notes are the things that keep us going
(05/06 12:06:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: Even if they follow or are followed by dark spots
(05/06 12:06:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: The light spots are what keep us motivated,
(05/06 12:06:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: And so,
(05/06 12:06:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: After…the death of Willow Engberg and Rosette Taylor,
(05/06 12:07:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: And the revelation that the Bahro were at war?
(05/06 12:07:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: This week began indeed with a lighter note
(05/06 12:07:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: The Great Zero had finally passed it’s first stage of calibration
(05/06 12:07:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: And was ready to be activated
(05/06 12:07:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: To celebrate
(05/06 12:07:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: Marker missions could now be created by explorers
(05/06 12:08:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: And…
(05/06 12:08:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: On that first day
(05/06 12:08:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: We went absolutely crazy with the things
(05/06 12:08:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: there’s a 1000 limit for marker missions,
(05/06 12:08:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: And we…
(05/06 12:08:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: Just…
(05/06 12:08:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: Painted whole ages in these white little bubbles
(05/06 12:08:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: I’ve seen Relto huts flooded with the things
(05/06 12:09:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: really
(05/06 12:09:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: But the markers served a more…
(05/06 12:09:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: practical purpose
(05/06 12:09:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: We could bring light to the dark,
(05/06 12:09:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: Also, around this time,
(05/06 12:10:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: The KI machine in the Descent location began to function
(05/06 12:10:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: well
(05/06 12:10:16) DimensionTravelerCalum: More than it had before
(05/06 12:10:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: It now lasted a whole minute!
(05/06 12:10:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: And as I say this, i suddenly remember that Descent wasn’t released this week
(05/06 12:10:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: alright
(05/06 12:10:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: Who shuffled my note cards again?
(05/06 12:10:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: :/
(05/06 12:11:01) DimensionTravelerCalum sighs
(05/06 12:11:11) CandiColette: lol
(05/06 12:11:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: I swear, these things get so messed up…!
(05/06 12:11:16) Fil shuffles nervously
(05/06 12:11:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: Right
(05/06 12:11:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: Moving along
(05/06 12:11:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: Explorers were giddy with the prospect of mapping ages with markers
(05/06 12:11:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: But…
(05/06 12:11:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: Some felt…
(05/06 12:11:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: Wronged.
(05/06 12:12:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: They felt as if all their hard work towards calibrating the Great Zero had gone to waste
(05/06 12:12:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: That the DRC were simply waiting for the right time to just
(05/06 12:12:28) DimensionTravelerCalum: “Flip a switch”
(05/06 12:12:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: And BAM
(05/06 12:12:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: On things went
(05/06 12:12:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: This attitude…
(05/06 12:12:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: Hurt us more than you may realize.
(05/06 12:13:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: I’ll explain more later
(05/06 12:13:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: But…
(05/06 12:13:16) DimensionTravelerCalum: It’s a sour note in an otherwise bright spot.
(05/06 12:13:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: And so the day came
(05/06 12:13:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: The Great Zero plaza was crowded with explorers
(05/06 12:13:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: each in their own hood instance of the place
(05/06 12:14:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: In my own hood
(05/06 12:14:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: Uru Obsession
(05/06 12:14:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: We had up to 200 people there at the time
(05/06 12:14:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: Maybe over that
(05/06 12:14:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: It.
(05/06 12:14:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: Was.
(05/06 12:14:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: A.
(05/06 12:14:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: Mud pit.
(05/06 12:14:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: To borrow some clever phrasing from Heart here. ;)
(05/06 12:14:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: Hehe…
(05/06 12:15:00) Heart: :)
(05/06 12:15:06) CandiColette: lol
(05/06 12:15:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: Personally, you could barely find your way from one place to another
(05/06 12:15:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: not without running into someone
(05/06 12:15:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: but
(05/06 12:15:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: I wouldn’t have traded that day for the world
(05/06 12:15:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: The sight of everyone standing there
(05/06 12:15:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: On the steps
(05/06 12:15:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: Just…
(05/06 12:15:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: Watching?
(05/06 12:15:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: there’s nothing better than that.
(05/06 12:16:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: Then there was a spark
(05/06 12:16:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: A hum…
(05/06 12:16:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: And a ZAP
(05/06 12:16:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: And then the Great Zero began spitting out it;s blue beam…
(05/06 12:16:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: And then it began to spin.
(05/06 12:16:32) moose 2′s bff: oooooh ahhhhhhh
(05/06 12:16:43) CandiColette: yep
(05/06 12:16:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: there’s a video of it somewhere
(05/06 12:16:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: On the Guild of Greeters website, I believe,
(05/06 12:16:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: But i’m not sure exactly where
(05/06 12:17:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: But it was a moment
(05/06 12:17:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: And it was the second of that week’s many new lights
(05/06 12:17:43) DimensionTravelerCalum: Soon enough, the Watcher’s Sanctuary— Erm…
(05/06 12:17:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: Watcher’s Pub
(05/06 12:17:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: Was released.
(05/06 12:18:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: Many of us had been there before
(05/06 12:18:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: When it was still in the yellow paint that had been put there by Sharper’s hand,
(05/06 12:18:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: This was formerly the “Great Tree Pub”
(05/06 12:18:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: Then
(05/06 12:18:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: “Watcher’s Sanctuary”
(05/06 12:18:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: And now
(05/06 12:18:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: “Watcher’s Pub”
(05/06 12:19:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: The name changes make sense in context
(05/06 12:19:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: But it still bugs me to this day
(05/06 12:19:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: Even though the DRC had…somewhat forgiven Sharper for his actions in 2003,
(05/06 12:19:38) DimensionTravelerCalum: It still seemed to me that they were trying to distance themselves from that time
(05/06 12:19:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: They’d panted the walls blue for crying out loud!
(05/06 12:19:57) CandiColette: lol
(05/06 12:20:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: you could practically SMELL the paint fumes
(05/06 12:20:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: It’…
(05/06 12:20:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: Well,
(05/06 12:20:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: Putting all that aside
(05/06 12:20:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: Watcher’s was a place that would be fairly popular for events over the next few months
(05/06 12:20:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: Dance parties held “Under the roots” would occur,
(05/06 12:21:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: The place was certainly a place for gathering,
(05/06 12:21:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: But, these are all future events,
(05/06 12:21:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: Much like some of the…
(05/06 12:21:28) DimensionTravelerCalum: Incidents that would occur later on.
(05/06 12:21:38) DimensionTravelerCalum: So,
(05/06 12:21:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: The pub was released
(05/06 12:21:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: The Explorers gathered
(05/06 12:21:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: And waited
(05/06 12:21:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: We had access to the five Watcher’s Words books
(05/06 12:22:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: But the number plates we’d come to expect to be scattered all over the place had been removed.
(05/06 12:22:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: You can still see where the walls don’t quite match up because of that.
(05/06 12:22:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: Was the puzzle that we had once solved no longer there?
(05/06 12:22:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: In a sense
(05/06 12:22:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: Yes
(05/06 12:22:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: The door to the Tree was sealed
(05/06 12:22:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: Broken by the scream all those months ago now.
(05/06 12:23:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: The DRC had yet to fix it,
(05/06 12:23:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: But, we knew that they would…
(05/06 12:23:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: Hah.
(05/06 12:23:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: If only things had worked out that way.
(05/06 12:23:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: The DRC’s funding source, Cate Alexander,
(05/06 12:23:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: Had appeared at one time in Watchers
(05/06 12:23:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: And broached the subject of advertisement
(05/06 12:24:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: Little things like images in the KI,
(05/06 12:24:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: but,
(05/06 12:24:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: The explorers…
(05/06 12:24:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: They…
(05/06 12:24:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: No
(05/06 12:24:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: We didn’t want anything to do with it.
(05/06 12:24:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: some over reacted with “We don’t want no stinking billboards!”
(05/06 12:24:59) Fil: “eat at Kadish”
(05/06 12:25:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: Even Marie Sutherland, who was normally opposed to such things,
(05/06 12:25:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: was OK with it in a sense
(05/06 12:25:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: She knew the restoration was expensive
(05/06 12:25:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: Something that everyone had seemed to have forgotten
(05/06 12:25:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: This had been a concern since day one
(05/06 12:25:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: Especially back when…
(05/06 12:26:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: Back in the days before the first restoration ended.
(05/06 12:26:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: Back when the 5 DRC members had all been there
(05/06 12:26:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: And now…
(05/06 12:26:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: We had two missing?
(05/06 12:26:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: indeed, Dr. Watson had vanished at the end of the first restoraion
(05/06 12:26:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: And Michael Engberg…
(05/06 12:26:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: Well
(05/06 12:27:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: he had disappeared soon after His daughter had died.
(05/06 12:27:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: So here we were
(05/06 12:27:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: Being confronted with advertising…
(05/06 12:27:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: And we were rejecting it~
(05/06 12:27:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: Funding is always an issue
(05/06 12:28:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: Even fairly inactive ones like this current one have funding issues
(05/06 12:28:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: All of the money that makes this current “restoration” possible is all donated.
(05/06 12:28:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: remember me mentioning the CavCon meter?
(05/06 12:28:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: We didn’t have that back then
(05/06 12:28:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: But maybe if we had…?
(05/06 12:29:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: Maybes don’t help with the past however.
(05/06 12:29:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: So we were confronted with the advertising possibility of funding
(05/06 12:29:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: And we rejected it.
(05/06 12:29:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: The fools we were.
(05/06 12:29:45) DimensionTravelerCalum takes a deep sigh
(05/06 12:29:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: So Er’cana, the food harvest age, was released
(05/06 12:30:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: It was designed in years past
(05/06 12:30:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: To make pellets
(05/06 12:30:16) DimensionTravelerCalum: To feed the lake
(05/06 12:30:28) DimensionTravelerCalum: The age had been handled at one point by Guild Master Kadish
(05/06 12:30:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: Who had placed himself in D’ni Culture as “The Grower” mentioned in the watcher’s words,
(05/06 12:30:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: But you see,
(05/06 12:30:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: The words also mentioned another person
(05/06 12:31:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: A Deceiver
(05/06 12:31:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: And that was Kadish
(05/06 12:31:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: He had three things commissioned, of sorts
(05/06 12:31:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: two ages and a puzzle
(05/06 12:31:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: To prove that he was the watcher
(05/06 12:31:38) DimensionTravelerCalum: “To light the cavern”- Er’cana
(05/06 12:31:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: “To travel through time”- Ahnonay
(05/06 12:31:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: And finally
(05/06 12:32:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: Access to the Great tree
(05/06 12:32:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: He had the puzzle now locked behind that door made
(05/06 12:32:16) DimensionTravelerCalum: And he was the ONLY one that could solve it
(05/06 12:32:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: After all
(05/06 12:32:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: He had made it.
(05/06 12:32:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: Er’cana was retrofitted with ovens to make pellets that would feed the algae in the lake
(05/06 12:32:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: To make it grow
(05/06 12:32:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: to make it glow
(05/06 12:32:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: To make it return to it’s once living state
(05/06 12:33:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: As, even back then before the Fall of D”ni
(05/06 12:33:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: The lake was dying.
(05/06 12:33:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: It’s ironic in hindsight
(05/06 12:33:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: Kadish’s plans to make himself the grower had inadvertently given us the supplies and means of doing what he could not.
(05/06 12:33:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: Lighting the lake
(05/06 12:34:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: The DRC said that we could use the pellets produced in er’cana for lighting the lake,
(05/06 12:34:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: And bringing it back to life
(05/06 12:34:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: Of course, they said it would take months and years
(05/06 12:34:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: Not days and weeks
(05/06 12:34:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: But those explorers who had felt wronged by the Great Zero…
(05/06 12:34:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: They…
(05/06 12:34:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: Felt otherwise.
(05/06 12:34:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: They thought that just like the GZ
(05/06 12:35:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: They could “Flip a switch” or “Drop a super pellet” into the lake
(05/06 12:35:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: And BAM
(05/06 12:35:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: light.
(05/06 12:35:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: they even went so far as to SCOLD other people
(05/06 12:35:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: who wanted to do the pellet feeding,
(05/06 12:35:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: Discouraged them from doing so.
(05/06 12:35:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: the DRC however were expecting a steady increase of pellets
(05/06 12:35:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: So that they could make a chart
(05/06 12:36:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: To show how long it would take to light the lake
(05/06 12:36:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: But the wouldn’t get their answers
(05/06 12:36:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: Nobody would get into it
(05/06 12:36:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: Even with the incentive of Pellet scores on the KI?
(05/06 12:36:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: Nope.
(05/06 12:36:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: Nada.
(05/06 12:36:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: zip
(05/06 12:36:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: zero degrees Dereno
(05/06 12:37:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: It wasn’t enough
(05/06 12:37:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: And people didn’t do what was right
(05/06 12:37:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: We had been presented a light
(05/06 12:37:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: And, like before,
(05/06 12:37:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: We rejected it.
(05/06 12:37:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: I’m reminded of watcher’s words,
(05/06 12:37:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: There’s a line
(05/06 12:37:38) DimensionTravelerCalum: That goes something like
(05/06 12:37:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: “Wait in the light”
(05/06 12:37:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: But we were rejecting the light
(05/06 12:37:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: We wouldn’t wait.
(05/06 12:37:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: Why?
(05/06 12:38:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: Because we were being dumb
(05/06 12:38:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: And stupid
(05/06 12:38:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: And we were ignoring the things we had learned in the past
(05/06 12:38:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: The death of Wheeley and Rose,
(05/06 12:38:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: The bahro war?
(05/06 12:38:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: We’d put it all behind us.
(05/06 12:38:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Ignoring it
(05/06 12:38:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: Like we had back in 2003,
(05/06 12:38:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: We treated it as a game.
(05/06 12:39:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: like the DRC could do anything they wanted to.
(05/06 12:39:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: And …
(05/06 12:39:16) DimensionTravelerCalum: It would come back to bite us.
(05/06 12:39:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: years later,
(05/06 12:39:28) DimensionTravelerCalum: the lake STILL isn’t lit,
(05/06 12:39:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: Not to it’s day night cycle
(05/06 12:39:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: We don’t have a chart
(05/06 12:39:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: We don’t have the right numbers,
(05/06 12:40:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: but we know we must wait
(05/06 12:40:16) DimensionTravelerCalum: Waiting is the only thing we can do.
(05/06 12:40:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: but still,
(05/06 12:40:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: Some of us were impatient back then.
(05/06 12:40:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: Er’cana had a shell puzzle
(05/06 12:40:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: A portal that would appear,
(05/06 12:40:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: And inside
(05/06 12:41:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: A cave with a ring
(05/06 12:41:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: But…oddly
(05/06 12:41:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: We couldn’t see a thing in there!
(05/06 12:41:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: It was pitch black!
(05/06 12:41:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: Now what made it like this to begin with
(05/06 12:41:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: Or what eventually fixed it I do not know
(05/06 12:41:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: But our impatience actually embraced a light in this case
(05/06 12:41:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: Remember the KI light I’d mentioned before?
(05/06 12:42:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: Some of us were clever
(05/06 12:42:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: We set the cloth to next to the portal
(05/06 12:42:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: We went to descent
(05/06 12:42:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: Grabbed the KI light
(05/06 12:42:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: Relto’d
(05/06 12:42:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: cloth linked
(05/06 12:42:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: Portal’d
(05/06 12:42:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: And then with the flickering KI light remaining
(05/06 12:42:43) DimensionTravelerCalum: We would run forward towards that wall to find the shell icon
(05/06 12:42:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: And we would have our ring piece.
(05/06 12:42:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: Quite clever we were, eh?
(05/06 12:43:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: Using a light that we already found useful to our advantage?
(05/06 12:43:20) CandiColette: yes
(05/06 12:43:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: As I said
(05/06 12:43:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: Eventually the cave was
(05/06 12:43:38) DimensionTravelerCalum: ‘fixed’
(05/06 12:43:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: And we could see again
(05/06 12:43:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: Getting rid of the need for the light
(05/06 12:43:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: But it makes me wonder,
(05/06 12:44:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: How we could find the work around for it?
(05/06 12:44:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: But we were so blind to everything else?
(05/06 12:44:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: Some of us were blinded in another way
(05/06 12:44:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: While most of us had worked past wheeley’s death,
(05/06 12:44:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: Others, like Douglas Sharper,
(05/06 12:44:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: Were mad,
(05/06 12:44:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: Raging,
(05/06 12:44:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: Still at the concept of her death.
(05/06 12:45:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: Sharper himself had arranged for a survey trip to Noloben by the DRC’s own insistence,
(05/06 12:45:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: But Sharper…
(05/06 12:45:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: He wanted to hunt down the Bahro that killed wheeley,
(05/06 12:45:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: The DRC were concerned when they found out
(05/06 12:45:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: And INSISTED that he was only to do recon,
(05/06 12:45:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: We all know how that turned out however…
(05/06 12:46:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: You couldn’t convince Sharper to do something he had his heart set on.
(05/06 12:46:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: Oh he’s a good man,
(05/06 12:46:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: We all get carried away from time to time
(05/06 12:46:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Now just imagine if wheeley was somone you had known personally
(05/06 12:46:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: Not just someone who was an acquaintence,
(05/06 12:47:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: now imagine if you had been somewhere else when she had died
(05/06 12:47:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: Much like Sharper was…
(05/06 12:47:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: he was away when she died
(05/06 12:47:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: And while he couldn’t have done anything to help even if he had been there
(05/06 12:47:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: there’s always that nagging doubt
(05/06 12:47:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: The what ifs.
(05/06 12:47:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: Sharper wanted revenge, not just for wheeley
(05/06 12:47:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: But to feel like he had been able to do something about it.
(05/06 12:48:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: About what had happened…
(05/06 12:48:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: So the things go…
(05/06 12:48:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: But,
(05/06 12:48:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: In the end
(05/06 12:48:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: He agreed to not hunt the bahro
(05/06 12:48:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: And he left,
(05/06 12:48:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: Although we knew he was planning on doing it anyways.
(05/06 12:49:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: So the lighter week after the Scars had healed ended,
(05/06 12:49:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: many typos were made,
(05/06 12:49:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: Even back then,
(05/06 12:49:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: Such are constants,
(05/06 12:49:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: But it was the turning point
(05/06 12:49:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: We had a chance to make the world better
(05/06 12:49:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: And…we failed.
(05/06 12:50:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: It was a test that we failed to see
(05/06 12:50:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: But we would do better,,,
(05/06 12:50:14) CandiColette: we were fools
(05/06 12:50:16) DimensionTravelerCalum: In the years to come,
(05/06 12:50:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: We’ve learned our lessons
(05/06 12:50:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: We’ve watied in the light
(05/06 12:50:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: We’ve done all these things in Watcher’s words
(05/06 12:50:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: So many
(05/06 12:50:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: Many
(05/06 12:50:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: Times
(05/06 12:50:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: And we’ve never realized it.
(05/06 12:51:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: So I’ll close tonight with this
(05/06 12:51:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: A bit of an assignment
(05/06 12:51:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: Go to Watcher’s pub
(05/06 12:51:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: Read the journals,
(05/06 12:51:26) Criswell2 opens notebook …
(05/06 12:51:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: The five Words books,
(05/06 12:51:38) DimensionTravelerCalum: And think back to what you know about yourself
(05/06 12:51:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: And the history of D’ni
(05/06 12:51:43) DimensionTravelerCalum: The cavern
(05/06 12:51:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: And the restorations
(05/06 12:51:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: And when you see all of this,
(05/06 12:51:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: When you read it,
(05/06 12:52:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: Be sure to read between the lines,
(05/06 12:52:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: Look at what is not said
(05/06 12:52:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: But implied,
(05/06 12:52:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: Take a leap of faith
(05/06 12:52:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: and see if you can understand more now than we did then
(05/06 12:52:28) DimensionTravelerCalum bows
(05/06 12:52:31) GiGi. claps her hands
(05/06 12:52:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: Thank you all for coming,
(05/06 12:52:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: And have a good night.

(05/06 12:53:15) …Chat.log stopped.

For some bizarre reason, last night when I had to hurriedly turn my computer off, it didn’t shut down right.

So, all night long, this laptop of mine was running on battery power sitting alone for who knows how long. When I turn it on this morning, on battery with now power plugged in, the power icon flashes and it refuses to turn on.

That was the start of the last… 12% charging time’s worth of restoring Webbrowsing pages and running a virus scan. I don’t know what happened or why. But i’m annoyed. :/

Also, I’ve lost about 70% of my normal web-browsing reference cluster. I’ve got MOST of the links saved to a word-document from before this, but there was some more recent stuff that I haven’t gotten added to it that’s pretty much lost to the history folder. I’m trying to search through that now to find what I lost but…

I’m annoyed.

Chrome. Why U no Remember???

>_<;

I don’t think I’m going to be in cavern today.

(04/29 11:59:29) Chat.log started…
(04/29 11:59:52) Wyrm: 1:00 here in Minnesota
(04/29 12:00:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: And…
(04/29 12:00:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: For some reason
(04/29 12:00:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: 12:00 KI time seems to be right.
(04/29 12:00:20) NoorMax: Shorah & Hello all …

(04/29 12:00:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: After all, funnily,
(04/29 12:00:38) DimensionTravelerCalum: Most events in Cavern only happened after 11:00
(04/29 12:00:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: But since the clock says 12:00
(04/29 12:01:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: I think it’s time to begin
(04/29 12:01:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: I’ll let some stragglers come in though ;)
(04/29 12:01:23) Alien: hi criswell

(04/29 12:03:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: And as a special treat
(04/29 12:03:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: left over Easter chocolate creme eggs in the egg room!
(04/29 12:03:46) Wyrm: Fried Bathro ????
(04/29 12:03:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: Sorry, we don’t serve that here.
(04/29 12:04:07) Wyrm: :(
(04/29 12:04:10) TOOO: lemon Curry??
(04/29 12:04:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: No chefs willing to prepare it,
(04/29 12:04:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: That, i think we have
(04/29 12:04:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: Hmm,
(04/29 12:04:27) DimensionTravelerCalum checks manifest of snacks…
(04/29 12:04:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: Maybe, not quite sure.
(04/29 12:04:38) DimensionTravelerCalum: *shrug*
(04/29 12:04:38) Wyrm: Might be harder to catch
(04/29 12:04:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: thirdly
(04/29 12:05:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: Would the owner of a Silver Mercedes Benze head to Customer Service?
(04/29 12:05:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: You’ve apparently won a random Lottery by parking in slot B413
(04/29 12:05:43) Alien parked in B414
(04/29 12:05:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: head to the Service Center to claim your prize, thank you!
(04/29 12:05:49) TOOO: darn, the only parking slot I could find was OICU812.
(04/29 12:06:00) Alien: lol
(04/29 12:06:10) DimensionTravelerCalum grins
(04/29 12:06:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: Well, whoever the lucky explorer is,
(04/29 12:06:38) DimensionTravelerCalum: Lets hope they’re enjoying their prize
(04/29 12:06:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: Whatever it may be!
(04/29 12:06:49) DimensionTravelerCalum takes a deep breath
(04/29 12:06:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: Well then
(04/29 12:07:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: I think it’s time we begin the week of Scars
(04/29 12:07:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: Oh, wait
(04/29 12:07:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: One last thing
(04/29 12:07:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: If anyone has to leave during the show
(04/29 12:07:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: The log will be up on our website
(04/29 12:07:28) DimensionTravelerCalum: HeritageNight.wordpress.com
(04/29 12:07:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: After the show! :)
(04/29 12:07:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: Right…
(04/29 12:08:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: So I think some of you know what the word “Scars” means to us explorers
(04/29 12:08:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: Am I correct?
(04/29 12:08:23) TOOO: Yes
(04/29 12:08:27) Alien is a bit puzzled…
(04/29 12:08:32) Gwyn H: Please refresh my memory
(04/29 12:08:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: well,
(04/29 12:08:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: For those that don’t
(04/29 12:08:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: This night will let you know why
(04/29 12:08:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: Why there is a week in Restoration history
(04/29 12:08:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: That we refer to as “Scars’
(04/29 12:09:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: It was sometime just before summer,
(04/29 12:09:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: just after explorers had learned there was a predator in the great Pod age
(04/29 12:09:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: And had solved the four pod’s mysterious puzzle
(04/29 12:10:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: Douglas Sharper and the “Ladies man” Nick White were going on an expedition to Negilahn’s jungle
(04/29 12:10:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: Hoping to catch the predator in the act.
(04/29 12:10:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: despite the hopefulness of the situation,
(04/29 12:11:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: Explorers were still fearful of the fact that the predator was an unknown
(04/29 12:11:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: Leaving scars and wounds in the flesh of animals
(04/29 12:11:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: Killing them for the sake of killing.
(04/29 12:11:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: If this predator could be caught?
(04/29 12:11:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: We would all sigh in relief.
(04/29 12:11:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Unfortunately…
(04/29 12:12:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: Our minds were taken off of the predator puzzle when a small earthquake happened
(04/29 12:12:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: Tearing open a small crack in the corner of the Kahlo Pub wall.
(04/29 12:12:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: I’m sure you all have seen the spot,
(04/29 12:12:38) DimensionTravelerCalum: Although it has long since been sealed over,
(04/29 12:12:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: i’m sure you’ve all seen the imager,
(04/29 12:13:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: With the names circling on it,
(04/29 12:13:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: A memorial.
(04/29 12:13:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: I’ll get to when it was placed in a later night
(04/29 12:13:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: But the events that spurred its creation…
(04/29 12:13:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: Well…
(04/29 12:13:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: Willow “Wheeley” Engberg, daughter of DRC engineer Michael Engberg,
(04/29 12:13:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: And her friend Rosette Taylor
(04/29 12:14:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: Were down in D’ni Hunting markers.
(04/29 12:14:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: Explorers warned them to avoid the Kahlo Pub for the time being
(04/29 12:14:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: As, even though many longed to see the crack themselves,
(04/29 12:14:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: Explorers still remember Phil Henderson
(04/29 12:14:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: And his…accident.
(04/29 12:14:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: His ‘death’
(04/29 12:15:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: They were cautious,
(04/29 12:15:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: As they should have been.
(04/29 12:15:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: Michael himself even warned to stay away
(04/29 12:15:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: At least until the building’s stability had been confirmed.
(04/29 12:16:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: So the week began with people wondering about this crack
(04/29 12:16:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: A physical scar,
(04/29 12:16:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: And tried helping out with Wheeley’s and Rosette’s marker hunting
(04/29 12:16:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: Of course,
(04/29 12:16:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: Wheeley thought her father was over reacting…
(04/29 12:17:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: She wanted to see the crack
(04/29 12:17:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: So…
(04/29 12:17:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: She used the special abilities of her DRC level KI to turn her and rosette invisible
(04/29 12:17:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: And throw their voice signals to the Library
(04/29 12:17:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: She said that they’d found a “new crack”
(04/29 12:18:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: When wheeley and rose vanished off the face of the cavern soon after
(04/29 12:18:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: It was assumed that they had fallen into that crack
(04/29 12:18:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: Of course,
(04/29 12:18:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: It was a lie.
(04/29 12:18:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: Wheeley knew how to get explorers to move
(04/29 12:18:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: She thought more like us than she did a DRC member,
(04/29 12:18:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: She knew we would all go RUSHING
(04/29 12:19:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: To see something “NEW”
(04/29 12:19:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: So she said there was a new crack to draw the explorers
(04/29 12:19:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: Who had actually massed around the Kahlo Pub to guard it,
(04/29 12:19:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: Away to the library
(04/29 12:19:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: So she and Rosette could sneak in.
(04/29 12:19:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: Clever girl she was,
(04/29 12:20:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: But…
(04/29 12:20:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: A teenager,
(04/29 12:20:28) DimensionTravelerCalum: She didn’t want to listen to the opinions of others above her, I suppose
(04/29 12:20:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: At the time of the initial second crack report, I was in my own Relto, and I’d heard over neighbors what was going on
(04/29 12:21:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: Something clicked for me then
(04/29 12:21:16) DimensionTravelerCalum: And I’m sure it clicked for others too…
(04/29 12:21:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: Those that were outside the city
(04/29 12:21:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: I’m sure a few of us realized immediately what was wrong with the picture
(04/29 12:21:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: Kahlo pub was unguarded
(04/29 12:21:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: Wheeley could get in.
(04/29 12:22:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: But the city was soon locked out with people going TO the library.
(04/29 12:22:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: I never made it to the city to try to stop them,
(04/29 12:22:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: I don’t think anyone did.
(04/29 12:22:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: Wheeley and rose went into the crack in Kahlo…
(04/29 12:22:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: Then…
(04/29 12:22:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: They touched something they shouldn’t have.
(04/29 12:22:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: Bahro glyphs.
(04/29 12:22:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: all along the walls of a sealed off room.
(04/29 12:23:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: And like several Bahro caves
(04/29 12:23:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: linking books cease to work
(04/29 12:23:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: Their relto’s broke,
(04/29 12:23:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: And a Bahro appeared in the cave
(04/29 12:23:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: Either trying to restore or take their books in the first place
(04/29 12:23:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: It reached out…
(04/29 12:23:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: But there was another quake
(04/29 12:24:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: in any case
(04/29 12:24:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: reports are a bit unreliable as to the actual order of events
(04/29 12:25:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: But we know there was a quake,
(04/29 12:25:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: And rosette was killed in the collapse
(04/29 12:25:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: Wheeley was knocked out.
(04/29 12:25:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: as I said before
(04/29 12:25:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: Nobody really knew what had happened at first
(04/29 12:26:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: several thought wheeley and rose had disappeared at the LIbrary
(04/29 12:26:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: So when people began searching
(04/29 12:26:28) DimensionTravelerCalum: They missed the obvious.
(04/29 12:26:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: soon the crack was discovered to have grown, and filled in with debris.
(04/29 12:27:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: The DRC Brought in search teams,a
(04/29 12:27:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: And the city was soon emptied
(04/29 12:27:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: We were all distraught
(04/29 12:27:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: Worrying and wondering and praying…
(04/29 12:28:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: I personally wished that I could have done something
(04/29 12:28:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: I know others wished they could as well…
(04/29 12:28:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: Soon enough
(04/29 12:28:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: Nick white returned from negilahn
(04/29 12:28:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: Having heard of the collapse
(04/29 12:28:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: Leaving Sharper in Negilahn
(04/29 12:28:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: Alone.
(04/29 12:29:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: So we tried to get back into the city
(04/29 12:29:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: Under nick’s initial urging and showing us the way via Bahro stone trickery,
(04/29 12:29:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: Then, once Nick himself was in
(04/29 12:29:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: He changed tunes and asked us to stay away so the DRC could do their work.
(04/29 12:29:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: Nick, as I believe I mentioned last week,
(04/29 12:29:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: Had been fired,
(04/29 12:30:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: But he still held some ground with the DRC
(04/29 12:30:16) DimensionTravelerCalum: And managed to convince them to reopen the city
(04/29 12:30:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: At this point, though
(04/29 12:30:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: The search was limited to the building Kahlo Pub was under
(04/29 12:30:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: And the DRC had locked onto WHeeley’s KI signal
(04/29 12:30:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: Underneath the building,
(04/29 12:31:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: There were no working links to that area
(04/29 12:31:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: Or anywhere in that building
(04/29 12:31:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: So they had to dig.
(04/29 12:31:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: Soon enough, Wheeley woke up
(04/29 12:31:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: And people rejoiced that she was ok
(04/29 12:31:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: But…she wasn’t.
(04/29 12:31:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: She was thirsty,
(04/29 12:31:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Dehydrated
(04/29 12:31:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: Barely conscious at times
(04/29 12:32:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: So the explorers now gathered around the Kahlo Pub entrance,
(04/29 12:32:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: Told her to draw the Bahro glyph for rain
(04/29 12:32:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: Something they assumed to be a fact from the Cyan game Myst V
(04/29 12:32:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: They even went to the plaza
(04/29 12:33:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: And formed a giant version of that glyph using their own bodies as the ink.
(04/29 12:33:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: they assumed, once she had mentioned the bahro stuck in the cave with her,
(04/29 12:33:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: That it would help her,
(04/29 12:33:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: this Bahro did take the glyph, but initially did nothing.
(04/29 12:34:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: When wheeley later blacked out,
(04/29 12:34:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: her KI went bonkers
(04/29 12:34:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: Reporting the age location as being in several places at once
(04/29 12:34:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: Despite the actual signal location being unchanged
(04/29 12:34:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: she didn’t go anywhere
(04/29 12:34:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: But when Wheeley woke up
(04/29 12:34:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: She felt…better
(04/29 12:35:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: Not thirsty any more.
(04/29 12:35:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: The DRC continued digging for days
(04/29 12:35:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: With Wheeley blacking out periodically,
(04/29 12:35:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: These few days were hard on all of us
(04/29 12:35:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: We prayed
(04/29 12:35:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: We hoped
(04/29 12:35:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: We wished
(04/29 12:35:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: And the the day finally came:
(04/29 12:35:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: They were on the last floor
(04/29 12:36:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: having drilled down from the top floor
(04/29 12:36:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: Floor after floor after floor
(04/29 12:36:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: Until only one remained.
(04/29 12:36:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: And on this floor was a symbol
(04/29 12:36:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: It was a sort of zig zag,
(04/29 12:36:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: With circles on either side
(04/29 12:36:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: And, surprisingly
(04/29 12:36:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: Nick white had seen something like it on a tree in Negilahn
(04/29 12:37:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: this symbol actually didn’t exist
(04/29 12:37:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: well, not like other times the KI’s have seen the same hallucinations brought on by Teledahn spores and others like them
(04/29 12:37:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: this was an actual Bahro glyph
(04/29 12:37:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: And…for some reason
(04/29 12:38:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: It wouldn’t photograph
(04/29 12:38:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: It would just vanish in the picture
(04/29 12:38:43) DimensionTravelerCalum: Explorers made up KI mails to confirm between Nick and Marie that it was the same symbol
(04/29 12:38:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: It was.
(04/29 12:38:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: Whatever this glyph was…
(04/29 12:39:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: We can only guess.
(04/29 12:39:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: But the fateful day had come
(04/29 12:39:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: Wheeley was about to be freed from the cave
(04/29 12:39:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: And the Bahro in there grew…
(04/29 12:39:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: uneasy
(04/29 12:39:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: Acording to wheeley
(04/29 12:39:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: It began chanting
(04/29 12:39:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: “NO…something”
(04/29 12:40:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: Explorers worked it out soon enough
(04/29 12:40:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: “Noloben”
(04/29 12:40:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: The supposed “Bahro Homeworld”
(04/29 12:40:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: Where an evil D’ni man had carved a piece of skin off of a bahro’s shoulder.
(04/29 12:40:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: A torturous lab of pain and misery…
(04/29 12:41:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: We had no idea why the Bahro was doing this
(04/29 12:41:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: Or why it was so mad compared to before,
(04/29 12:41:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: But a small hole had been dug
(04/29 12:41:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: A linking book was lowered down…
(04/29 12:41:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: It didn’t work.
(04/29 12:41:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: It was just the cave itself, we can only assume,
(04/29 12:41:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: Blocking linking books from working…
(04/29 12:41:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: I…
(04/29 12:41:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: Well…
(04/29 12:42:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: They…
(04/29 12:42:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: The DRC began digging the hole bigger
(04/29 12:42:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: The Bahro grew worse
(04/29 12:42:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: And Wheeley was getting scared
(04/29 12:42:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: She was calling out for her dad,
(04/29 12:42:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: Who was trying his best to keep her calm…
(04/29 12:42:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: But once they got the hole big enough…
(04/29 12:42:40) DimensionTravelerCalum flinches
(04/29 12:42:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: …it was all over.
(04/29 12:42:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: The bahro was gone
(04/29 12:42:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: Along with the glyphs
(04/29 12:43:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: And wheeley…
(04/29 12:43:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: She…
(04/29 12:43:20) DimensionTravelerCalum takes a breath
(04/29 12:43:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: The bahro had killed her almost in the exact same way that the predator in negilahn had been killing.
(04/29 12:43:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: she was gone.
(04/29 12:43:58) DimensionTravelerCalum: The reseng lowered down to pull her up protested almost immediatelt
(04/29 12:44:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: …we were all in shock from that moment on
(04/29 12:44:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: Theories ran wild
(04/29 12:44:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: “No it has to be a trick by the bahro”
(04/29 12:44:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: “It didn’t kill her”
(04/29 12:45:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: We held onto the believe that they were all good like it was a gorram idiot ball.
(04/29 12:45:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: A few of us, however
(04/29 12:45:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: Realized that there were two bahro in the cave
(04/29 12:45:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: One good…the other bad.
(04/29 12:45:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: The bad one had killed her.
(04/29 12:45:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: the good one had helped her.
(04/29 12:45:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: It was the only thing that made sense.
(04/29 12:45:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: So why…?
(04/29 12:46:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: When Sharper returned the next day
(04/29 12:46:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: He too was in shock
(04/29 12:46:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: Not because of wheeley’s death
(04/29 12:46:18) DimensionTravelerCalum: But because of what he had seen.
(04/29 12:46:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: He had been stalking an Urwin he’d named “Peggy Sue”
(04/29 12:46:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: Then…
(04/29 12:46:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: BAM
(04/29 12:46:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: It’s head had been torn off in an instant
(04/29 12:46:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: and was dragged through the jungle.
(04/29 12:46:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: Sharper followed
(04/29 12:47:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: it didn’t hit him until it was too late that the predator did NOT leave trails.
(04/29 12:47:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: Not usually.
(04/29 12:47:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: It was a trap
(04/29 12:47:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: And when he looked up…
(04/29 12:47:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: Bahro
(04/29 12:47:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: Everywhere
(04/29 12:47:28) DimensionTravelerCalum: Fighting.
(04/29 12:47:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: Diving,
(04/29 12:47:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: Clawing,
(04/29 12:47:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: Killing.
(04/29 12:47:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: They were at war.
(04/29 12:47:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: two sides
(04/29 12:47:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: Good and bad
(04/29 12:47:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: One bahro tried to kill him as well
(04/29 12:48:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: But two good ones fell ontop of him
(04/29 12:48:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: And when he woke up
(04/29 12:48:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: He was back on his Relto.
(04/29 12:48:31) DimensionTravelerCalum takes a breath or two…
(04/29 12:48:48) DimensionTravelerCalum: i’m sure you all are feeling a lot of things hearing all of this.
(04/29 12:48:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: Why were they fighting?
(04/29 12:48:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: Are we still safe?
(04/29 12:49:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: These were all things we felt and thought back then as well
(04/29 12:49:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: It…was a LOT to sort through.
(04/29 12:49:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: And so, almost like an after thought,
(04/29 12:49:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: The DRC went ahead with the originally scheduled release of the age Minkata
(04/29 12:50:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: A perfect age for the occasion
(04/29 12:50:08) DimensionTravelerCalum: it’s name means, loosely,
(04/29 12:50:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: ‘heavily scarred’
(04/29 12:50:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: As we all were
(04/29 12:50:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: Minkata was an age many of us disliked at the beginning
(04/29 12:50:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: But…
(04/29 12:50:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: We needed it,
(04/29 12:50:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: It was a place of thinking
(04/29 12:50:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: Of wandering
(04/29 12:50:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: Many of us had no clue what to do there
(04/29 12:51:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: Beyond the odd engraving on a stone
(04/29 12:51:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: “find your path in the stars”
(04/29 12:51:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: So we walked
(04/29 12:51:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: We searched our souls
(04/29 12:51:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: And we wondered what the future held
(04/29 12:51:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: In the end
(04/29 12:51:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: That is what brought our then-fractured community together
(04/29 12:51:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: More scars,
(04/29 12:51:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: Fractures,
(04/29 12:51:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: Rifts in the sand.
(04/29 12:52:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: If you haven’t solved Minkata yet
(04/29 12:52:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: When you go there
(04/29 12:52:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: I want you all to think about what you’ve heard tonight
(04/29 12:52:28) DimensionTravelerCalum: If you have
(04/29 12:52:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: I still think a visit is in order,
(04/29 12:52:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: Just to look at it from the perspective that we had then
(04/29 12:52:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: To compare to the one held now.
(04/29 12:53:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: So, that wraps this up for tonight
(04/29 12:53:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: Thank you all for coming
(04/29 12:53:21) Tom(Samoth) claps his hands
(04/29 12:53:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: And I hope to see you all next week
(04/29 12:53:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: same time same place
(04/29 12:53:32) Alien claps her hands
(04/29 12:53:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: 12:00 KI time, this hood
(04/29 12:53:36) Polgara claps her hands

(04/29 12:54:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: HeritageNight.wordpress.com
(04/29 12:54:13) Gwyn H claps her hands
(04/29 12:54:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: Thank you all for coming… and I hope you have a good week
(04/29 12:54:25) DimensionTravelerCalum bows
(04/29 12:54:32) Gwyn H: Thank you, Cal
(04/29 12:54:35) Gwyn H claps her hands
(04/29 12:54:38) …Chat.log stopped.

What is CISPA?
—> The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) is a United States proposed law introduced on November 30, 2011 by U.S. Representative Michael Rogers (R-MI) and 111 co-sponsors. It was passed in the House of Representatives on April 26, 2012. Prior to the amendments offered during final passage of the bill that would address many Adminstration concerns, President Obama threatened to veto the bill. 

Take a look at the video in the post I just linked to with the last paragraph, and I think you’ll agree with me that CISPA NEEDS TO BE STOPPED.

Internet Privacy is on the line. What’s it going to be people?

(Happy D’ni New Year, BTW!)
