Below is the log of the "Heritage Night Finale" that took place tonight. As usual I've edited the log to show when explorers moved from one area to another, and deleted all of the PM's. There were a lot this time because I was helping to relay Calum's presentation in K'veer back to the Bevin for those who weren't able to come on the field trip.
(12/21 18:03:09) Chat.log started...
(12/21 18:03:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: Why, Carl, I'd say we're just getting to the normal starting crowd
(12/21 18:03:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: xP
(12/21 18:03:29) Carl Palmner: Yes, some of you may notice I am wearing the Yeesha Shirt, something I haven't worn in many years.
(12/21 18:03:54) Omen: are we taking sides
(12/21 18:03:57) Omen: ?
(12/21 18:04:06) Carl Palmner: It seemed appropriate for tonight. When you've heard the last part of our story this evening, I think you'll understand why I choose to
show my support for Yeesha tonight.
(12/21 18:04:17) DimensionTravelerCalum agrees with that,
(12/21 18:04:19) Gahlen smiles.
(12/21 18:04:32) Carl Palmner: Calum is wearing his, too--I believe for the same reasons.
(12/21 18:04:3

Carl Palmner: A few quick announcements before we begin.
(12/21 18:05:02) Omen cheers
(12/21 18:05:0

Carl Palmner: First, tonight's field trip will be to K'veer--but we have an arrangement in case you don't have K'veer unlocked yet.
(12/21 18:05:10) Omen does a dance
(12/21 18:05:16) Carl Palmner: Polgara, are you still willing to help us with relaying tonight?
(12/21 18:05:26) Polgara: Of course
(12/21 18:05:52) Omen: are we all going to Myst?
(12/21 18:05:57) Carl Palmner: Excellent. In that case, when we get to the field trip segment, those who do not have K'veer unlocked should stay right here.
(12/21 18:06:16) Carl Palmner: We will be reviving an old Restoration tradition--relaying!
(12/21 18:06:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: The relayers, for those who don't know,
(12/21 18:06:36) Carl Palmner: In the old days, Bevins and AeGura would often "max out" on population whenever anyone important showed up there.
(12/21 18:06:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: Were a group of explorers back in the second restoration who "relayed" events to those who could not make it.
(12/21 18:06:59) Carl Palmner: That meant that many explorers who wanted to hear what the DRC (or whoever it was) was saying couldn't get in.
(12/21 18:07:37) Carl Palmner: So, specific Bevins would be set up as relay points, and explorers who were there at the events would repeat the words to friends in
those Bevins, who would then repeat them again to those with them.
(12/21 18:08:01) Carl Palmner: Over time a guild was formed--the Guild of Relayers--which was (I think) eventually absorbed into the Guild of Messengers.
(12/21 18:08:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: Yeah, that's what happened, I'm pretty sure.
(12/21 18:08:20) Carl Palmner: Polgara, in her capacity as a Messenger, will be helping me to relay Cal's words to those who can't make it to K'veer.
(12/21 18:08:27) Carl Palmner: So I'd like to thank her for that.
(12/21 18:08:35) DimensionTravelerCalum cheers
(12/21 18:08:3

Carl Palmner: Also I'd like to thank GracelenRose for acting as usher tonight.
(12/21 18:08:45) Josie claps her hands
(12/21 18:08:46) DimensionTravelerCalum claps his hands
(12/21 18:08:51) Omen claps his hands
(12/21 18:08:53) Gahlen claps his hands
(12/21 18:08:5

Carl Palmner: Grace, you are welcome to join us when we go to K'veer--we won't make you stay here to usher that part
(12/21 18:09:17) Char Gearz claps for GracelenRose
(12/21 18:09:21) Carl Palmner: And of course, a special thank you to DimensionTravelerCalum, who will host most of this evening's presentation, and who helped me put
together this event.
(12/21 18:09:32) DimensionTravelerCalum waves and says "yo!"
(12/21 18:09:50) Carl Palmner: We'd like to ask you to keep questions and comments to a minimum until the end of the event.
(12/21 18:10:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: Refreshments are in the fountain. ^_^;;
(12/21 18:10:10) Char Gearz: does anyone mind if I make a chat log of this?
(12/21 18:10:11) Omen: WHOOOOOOO
(12/21 18:10:1

tommyap shivers
(12/21 18:10:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: Please do, Char,
(12/21 18:10:2

DimensionTravelerCalum: We can never have too many chat logs
(12/21 18:10:34) Carl Palmner: Tonight is the Heritage night "Finale", during which we'll discuss the last days of the Restoration and how things came to be the way
they were when we all to the cavern last February.
(12/21 18:10:50) Char Gearz: startchatlog
(12/21 18:10:5

Char Gearz: lol
(12/21 18:11:10) Carl Palmner: Cal will host most of the evening, and then I will make some concluding remarks when we come back here to the Bevin at the end.
(12/21 18:11:30) Carl Palmner: Oh, one final comment in case Cal forgets to mention it
(12/21 18:11:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Eh? Forget what?
(12/21 18:11:47) Carl Palmner: When we go to K'veer, make sure you go through the NEXUS, not through the direct Link in your Relto.
(12/21 18:11:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: *hopes he doesn't forget now...* Oh... that... XP
(12/21 18:12:12) Carl Palmner: if you use the Relto Link to get there, you'll end up in the wrong instance, and won't see or hear the rest of us
(12/21 18:12:25) Carl Palmner: Without further ado I'll turn the time over to tonight's host, DimensionTravelerCalum!
(12/21 18:12:34) Josie claps her hands
(12/21 18:12:39) DimensionTravelerCalum says hey
(12/21 18:12:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: shorah everyone!
(12/21 18:12:42) Omen claps his hands
(12/21 18:12:45) tommyap claps his hands
(12/21 18:12:49) Polgara claps her hands
(12/21 18:12:53) Musica claps her hands
(12/21 18:12:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: tonight's subject week is called Exodus,
(12/21 18:12:55) AOEC claps his hands
(12/21 18:13:02) Omen claps his hands
(12/21 18:13:1

DimensionTravelerCalum: which we named after the book in the Bible for reasons that will be explained later, by Carl.
(12/21 18:13:3

DimensionTravelerCalum: Or, maybe, perhaps, even for the week I'm about to describe.
(12/21 18:13:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: November First, 2007.
(12/21 18:13:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: Day One.
(12/21 18:13:5

DimensionTravelerCalum: *deep breath*
(12/21 18:14:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: Durring Familiar Voices, I mentioned that everything happened just after lunch.
(12/21 18:14:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: this week, everything started before lunch.
(12/21 18:14:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: 11:00 A.M., Ae'gura.
(12/21 18:14:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: Cate Alexander linked to the city and made an announcement.
(12/21 18:14:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: "I am leaving the DRC"
(12/21 18:15:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: Surely, as you can surmise, this was a major shock,
(12/21 18:15:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: Good Ol' lexie was the source of funding for the DRC,
(12/21 18:15:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: and her abbrupt departure also ment the loss of said funding.
(12/21 18:15:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: We were at a loss.
(12/21 18:15:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: Honnestly, nobody knew what to do.
(12/21 18:16:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: Sure, The DRC tried to keep up appearances by Announcing the release of Ahnonay later in the week,
(12/21 18:16:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: but, even they were at a loss.
(12/21 18:16:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: Cate's reasons for leaving?
(12/21 18:16:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: "I'm not getting the return on my investment" or something like that.
(12/21 18:16:47) DimensionTravelerCalum shakes his head.
(12/21 18:16:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: Ironic, actually,
(12/21 18:17:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: Cate had mentioned the week before that she would believe a Bahro war when she saw it.
(12/21 18:17:1

DimensionTravelerCalum: and now here she was leaving, no bahro war in sight.
(12/21 18:17:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: It was something, I'll say.
(12/21 18:17:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: Nobody knew what to do.
(12/21 18:17:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: Day Two, November Second,
(12/21 18:17:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: Ahnonay-ing Ahnonay!
(12/21 18:17:5

Carl Palmner starts to laugh
(12/21 18:18:06) Omen laughs
(12/21 18:18:12) DimensionTravelerCalum: That blasted age of Guild Master Kadish that tests our sanity every time we enter it
(12/21 18:18:43) DimensionTravelerCalum: Like all the other ages, there had been some changes caused by the Great Scream, and those had pushed back it's official
release.
(12/21 18:18:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: Structural issues, and what not.
(12/21 18:18:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: ^_6;
(12/21 18:19:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: erk, ^_^*
(12/21 18:19:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: stupid KIBoard.
(12/21 18:19:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: *sigh*
(12/21 18:19:16) DimensionTravelerCalum: okay, moving on.
(12/21 18:19:27) DimensionTravelerCalum: Marie was the only DRC member that we saw this day,
(12/21 18:19:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: and she was just as worried, confused, and ahnonayed as the rest of us at Cate's sudden departure.
(12/21 18:20:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: Nobody knew what to do, honnestly.
(12/21 18:20:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: it was the final days of the Previous Restoration all over again,
(12/21 18:20:2

DimensionTravelerCalum: only this time, it was slower,
(12/21 18:20:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: not as quick and sudden as it had been before.
(12/21 18:20:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: no quick plug pull,
(12/21 18:20:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: Just a slow, steady drain.
(12/21 18:21:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: i don't know where that metaphore came from, really
(12/21 18:21:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: That just seemed to fit, though.
(12/21 18:21:2

DimensionTravelerCalum: well, regardless,
(12/21 18:21:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: a lot of us had memorized the puzzles from the time before the second restoration started,
(12/21 18:21:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: And before the great scream changed everything.
(12/21 18:22:0

DimensionTravelerCalum: And, those of us who remembered breezed through the puzzles relatively easy.
(12/21 18:22:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: And then, just after midnight on November Third,
(12/21 18:22:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: We found the key.
(12/21 18:22:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: A Circle with an X in it,
(12/21 18:22:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: In the lower half of the Pelet Cave.
(12/21 18:22:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: We knew exactly what this was.
(12/21 18:23:09) Omen: what?
(12/21 18:23:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: And, those of you have your shirts like Mine and Carl can guess what it was too.
(12/21 18:23:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: we used this key, and we found a new location,
(12/21 18:23:4

DimensionTravelerCalum: The subject of our Field Trip:
(12/21 18:23:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: k'veer, isle home/prison of Atrus, Son of Ghen.
(12/21 18:24:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: and that's where we'll head to now.
(12/21 18:24:3

tommyap: now ok
(12/21 18:24:39) Carl Palmner: A reminder, for those who just came in
(12/21 18:24:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: just use your nexus's "City Links" terminal and select K'veer.
(12/21 18:24:44) Char Gearz: I'm in..and intrigued
(12/21 18:24:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: But,
(12/21 18:24:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: If you haven't gotten to K'veer
(12/21 18:24:51) Carl Palmner: If you don't have K'veer, stay here in this Bevin.
(12/21 18:24:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: Just stay here, and the chat will be relayed to you
(12/21 18:25:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: Just like the old days.
(12/21 18:25:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: So, i'll see you in K'veer
(12/21 18:25:10) Carl Palmner: And make sure to take the NEXUS link when you go to Kveer.
(12/21 18:25:11) Steve0504bu (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
(12/21 18:25:15) Carl Palmner: NOT the Book in your Relto.
(12/21 18:25:16) Omen (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
(12/21 18:25:16) Josie (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
<Explorers Link to K'veer>
(12/21 18:26:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: okay, now that Carl's here,
(12/21 18:26:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: I'll continue.
(12/21 18:27:06) Carl Palmner: Give it another minute or two
(12/21 18:27:11) Carl Palmner: There are still people Linking in I think
(12/21 18:27:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: okay, then,
(12/21 18:27:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: some fun facts,
(12/21 18:27:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: K'veer, asrepresented in Myst V, End of Ages,
(12/21 18:27:42) DimensionTravelerCalum: was the home of the Keep,
(12/21 18:27:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: the tablet's prison,
(12/21 18:28:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: the key to the bahro's freedom,
(12/21 18:28:07) tommyap: moment please some are still underway
(12/21 18:28:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: Watson was probably the first of all of us to find his way in here.
(12/21 18:28:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: well, anyways, right where the link in spot is,
(12/21 18:28:3

DimensionTravelerCalum: that was where the Keep stood.
(12/21 18:28:47) Josie nods her head
(12/21 18:28:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: atleast, according to the game,
(12/21 18:29:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: many of us assumed that the Bahro would avoid K'veer, should a conflict arise,
(12/21 18:29:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: and boy howdy, did it.
(12/21 18:29:09) Carl Palmner: I think everyone who is coming is probably here now.
(12/21 18:29:19) tommyap: nope
(12/21 18:29:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: You see the arch out there?
(12/21 18:29:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Kerath's Arch, the very same one infront of Ae'gura's docks.
(12/21 18:29:51) tommyap: last one city use arrow to scroll
(12/21 18:30:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: well, at this distance,
(12/21 18:30:20) tommyap: sorry for that
(12/21 18:30:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: nobody could tell it, but there were bahro swarming that arch.
(12/21 18:30:43) DimensionTravelerCalum: and so, when reports of bahro in Ae'gura appearedd, flooding in from the city.
(12/21 18:30:4

DimensionTravelerCalum: we were shocked and confused.
(12/21 18:30:5

DimensionTravelerCalum: something, allright.
(12/21 18:31:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: this is why me and Carl are wearing our Journey shirts,
(12/21 18:31:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: December third, The Bahro War arrived.
(12/21 18:31:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: Destruction was here, They were here,
(12/21 18:31:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: and now, the dream prohphacy was being fullfilled
(12/21 18:31:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: it was a night mare,
(12/21 18:31:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: I still shudder at the thought of the sight, and the sounds.
(12/21 18:32:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: the bahro were everywhere.
(12/21 18:32:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: and I mean everywhere.
(12/21 18:32:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: not just the main city instance.
(12/21 18:32:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: they were in our private hood instances as well.
(12/21 18:32:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: they were fighting everywhere.
(12/21 18:32:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: scary thought, isn';t it?
(12/21 18:33:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: bahro, creatures that could link, being everywhere at once?
(12/21 18:33:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: That wasn't the ful impact of it, either.
(12/21 18:33:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: the bahro weren't of one side,
(12/21 18:33:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: they were both,
(12/21 18:33:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: duking it out, fighting, killing, screaming,
(12/21 18:33:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: it was chaos.
(12/21 18:34:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: and, although this wasn't widly confirmed,
(12/21 18:34:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: a few of us saw a form standing ontop of the arch,
(12/21 18:34:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: right below the light,
(12/21 18:34:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: make of it what you will, but there was something up there, moving.
(12/21 18:34:43) DimensionTravelerCalum: I wasn't sure what to make of it, at the time,
(12/21 18:34:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: but, considering all the mayhem and chaos around it,
(12/21 18:35:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: I think it's safe to guess what that form was.
(12/21 18:35:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: the very source of this conflict.
(12/21 18:35:1

DimensionTravelerCalum: well,
(12/21 18:35:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: yes, the very source.
(12/21 18:35:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: you've all heard the rumors,
(12/21 18:35:47) DimensionTravelerCalum: the tales, and the horrors that Esher in Myst V supposedly performed,
(12/21 18:36:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: even that he had a bahro skin cloth over his shoulder,
(12/21 18:36:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: a cloth that allowed him to link.
(12/21 18:36:1

DimensionTravelerCalum: Myst V was not false in those respects,
(12/21 18:36:2

DimensionTravelerCalum: Esher, the demnted, twisted, and evil man of Noloben,
(12/21 18:36:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: truely existed,
(12/21 18:36:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: and the bahro that he had cut that piece of skin from was mad.
(12/21 18:36:4

DimensionTravelerCalum: enraged.
(12/21 18:37:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: twisted beyond all hope of returning to any sane thinking.
(12/21 18:37:14) DimensionTravelerCalum: and he had gathered the others that thought like him,
(12/21 18:37:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: and he formed this other side,
(12/21 18:37:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: this... Twisted Fraction.
(12/21 18:37:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: We didn't need what happened next to drive this fact in,
(12/21 18:38:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: Phil henderson had appeared in A Beginner's Bevin (long since disestablished)
(12/21 18:38:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: and he was claiming this
(12/21 18:38:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: "They are comming"
(12/21 18:38:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: No.
(12/21 18:38:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: "They are here."
(12/21 18:38:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: So, this was Yeesha's dream, was it not? the one that called us all here?
(12/21 18:39:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: the DRC were at as much of a loss as we were,
(12/21 18:39:1

DimensionTravelerCalum: and Kodama used this as an excuse to leave.
(12/21 18:39:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: up to the surface he went, and, secretly, off to find more funding for the cavern.
(12/21 18:39:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: November Fourth,
(12/21 18:40:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: Day Four of Exodus.
(12/21 18:40:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: *sigh*
(12/21 18:40:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: The bahro were still swarming, still fighting,
(12/21 18:40:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: to maintain a sense of Normality,
(12/21 18:41:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: the DRC had announced the winners of the Great Zero Stained Glass,
(12/21 18:41:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: those three distinct designs for the GZ book.
(12/21 18:41:33) DimensionTravelerCalum: Normality, however,
(12/21 18:41:3

DimensionTravelerCalum: was an understatement
(12/21 18:41:4

DimensionTravelerCalum: Ae'gura was a massive mad house,
(12/21 18:41:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: even in instances,
(12/21 18:42:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: bahro were divebombing the city,
(12/21 18:42:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: prowling the streets,
(12/21 18:42:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: they'd escalated from swarming to random encounters.
(12/21 18:42:36) DimensionTravelerCalum: Never before or since,
(12/21 18:42:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: have I seen so many explorers wearing their journey shirts.
(12/21 18:43:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: we all had these burlap cloth pieces on us,
(12/21 18:43:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: itchy as they are,
(12/21 18:43:15) DimensionTravelerCalum: and we were showing our support,
(12/21 18:43:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: for the Bahro, and Yeesha, and for good.
(12/21 18:43:26) DimensionTravelerCalum: for Harmony and Balance.
(12/21 18:43:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: We wore our shirts for Yeesha, for what she stood for and represented,
(12/21 18:44:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: all in the hopes that she would see, and do something,
(12/21 18:44:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: and do something she did.
(12/21 18:44:24) DimensionTravelerCalum: Day Five,
(12/21 18:44:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: November Fifth.
(12/21 18:44:35) DimensionTravelerCalum: a Bahro appeared outside that window.
(12/21 18:44:3

DimensionTravelerCalum points
(12/21 18:44:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: right on the ledge
(12/21 18:44:50) DimensionTravelerCalum: quite funny, actually
(12/21 18:45:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: there's nothing out there for it to stand on, not that we can see, atleast,
(12/21 18:45:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: but there it was,
(12/21 18:45:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: just peering in,
((12/21 18:45:13) DimensionTravelerCalum: we were being watched.
(12/21 18:45:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: and then, it began teleporting.
(12/21 18:45:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: It was next spotted inside the prison chamber,
(12/21 18:45:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: via the doorway over there
(12/21 18:46:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: and then, it summoned the book stand in the middle of the room,
(12/21 18:46:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: and placed the Myst Linking book firmly upon it.
(12/21 18:46:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: Sadly, I was on the surface for what happened next,
(12/21 18:46:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: Two more bahro appeared, and then, along with them,
(12/21 18:46:49) DimensionTravelerCalum: came a woman with red hair and blue eyes.
(12/21 18:47:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: the tatoo over her eye made it clear who she was, the very clothes she wore were the same as the hologram we've all seen in
the Cleft.
(12/21 18:47:2

DimensionTravelerCalum: it was Yeesha.
(12/21 18:47:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: I'll quote what I think is relevant from what she said, and paraphrase the rest.
(12/21 18:48:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: "Destruction is almost upon us
(12/21 18:48:06) DimensionTravelerCalum: "They are here
(12/21 18:48:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: "Fighting in war."
(12/21 18:48:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: The Bahro had been freed by the tablet, and most of them had sided with good, with us, and Yeesha,
(12/21 18:48:39) DimensionTravelerCalum: and with the D'ni.
(12/21 18:48:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: And they were fighting,
(12/21 18:48:4

DimensionTravelerCalum: for us,
(12/21 18:48:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: Sacrificing everything they had,
(12/21 18:48:54) DimensionTravelerCalum: for us,
(12/21 18:48:5

DimensionTravelerCalum: for our "Peace"
(12/21 18:49:02) DimensionTravelerCalum: for our "Comfort"
(12/21 18:49:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: There was a side who had not siuded with us, the D'ni, or "Good"
(12/21 18:49:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: They had chosen Evil, and they basked int he oppoertunity that came with their freedo,
(12/21 18:49:41) DimensionTravelerCalum: "Revenge is their only excuse"
(12/21 18:49:53) DimensionTravelerCalum: Yeesha pointed to her left shoulder, and explained
(12/21 18:50:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: "Their leader can be seen clearly. He is missing a large patch of skin"
(12/21 18:50:25) DimensionTravelerCalum: taken in the "torturous lab of Esher"
(12/21 18:50:4

DimensionTravelerCalum: "Because of that", she said, "I will draw them away
(12/21 18:50:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: "Away from the cavern
(12/21 18:50:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: "Away from you"
(12/21 18:51:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: She had something they wanted,
(12/21 18:51:17) DimensionTravelerCalum: some asumed the piece of skin that Esher had carved off of the leader of this Dark side of the Bahro,
(12/21 18:51:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: Others, due to the sayings in Watcher's Words, assumed that she was pregnant,
(12/21 18:51:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: "I do not know how long they will seek what I carry.
(12/21 18:51:59) DimensionTravelerCalum: "It could only be days, it could be months.
(12/21 18:52:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: "Destruction is coming.
(12/21 18:52:09) DimensionTravelerCalum: "It is almost here.
(12/21 18:52:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: "I will delay it as long as I can, but, in the meantime, you must find a way
(12/21 18:52:32) DimensionTravelerCalum: "You must find a home."
(12/21 18:52:4

DimensionTravelerCalum: She promised to return in the furure, and, if things went well,
(12/21 18:52:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: she would offer her aid,
(12/21 18:52:56) DimensionTravelerCalum: but, if things didn't...
(12/21 18:52:57) DimensionTravelerCalum: well...
(12/21 18:53:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: You get the picture.
(12/21 18:53:16) DimensionTravelerCalum: Regardless, She said, we had to be ready for her return,
(12/21 18:53:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: Destruction was comming no matter what, and when it arrived, we must have found our, way,
(12/21 18:53:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: we MUST have found our Home.
(12/21 18:53:3

DimensionTravelerCalum: With that, she left,
(12/21 18:53:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: and, almost instantly,
(12/21 18:53:52) DimensionTravelerCalum: so did the Bahro around Kerath's arch.
(12/21 18:54:03) DimensionTravelerCalum: all of them following her for various reasons,
(12/21 18:54:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: some for her protection,
(12/21 18:54:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: others seeking what she carried.
(12/21 18:54:23) DimensionTravelerCalum: And, that night,
(12/21 18:54:30) DimensionTravelerCalum: we recieved a KI Mail from the DRC,
(12/21 18:54:34) DimensionTravelerCalum: Marie and Laxman were gone,
(12/21 18:54:37) DimensionTravelerCalum: for the surface,
(12/21 18:54:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: they were joining Kodama in his search for new funding,
(12/21 18:55:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: the next day, Sharper announced that he was heading to the surface too,
(12/21 18:55:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: and, suddenly,
(12/21 18:55:07) DimensionTravelerCalum: we found ourselves alone.
(12/21 18:55:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: And now, We'll head back to Carl Palmner's bevin,
(12/21 18:55:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: where he'll summarize what happened in the final days,
(12/21 18:55:43) DimensionTravelerCalum: if you'd like to read a slightly, Fuller, accound of things,
(12/21 18:55:46) Musica claps her hands
(12/21 18:55:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: look up Carl's Fictionalization of the events
(12/21 18:55:51) Omen claps his hands
(12/21 18:55:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: "Alone or Together"
(12/21 18:55:59) Carl Palmner: I'll finish us up, back in Carl Palmner's Bevin
(12/21 18:56:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: you can find it on the URU Obsession Forums.
<Explorers return to Carl Palmner's Bevin>
(12/21 18:56:39) Polgara: they come back now - sorry that I could not follow completely was too fast
(12/21 18:57:0

Carl Palmner: Whew.
(12/21 18:57:11) GracelenRose: Polgara...you did awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(12/21 18:57:22) Carl Palmner: It actually felt kind of scary being back there, as Cal talked about that stuff
(12/21 18:57:29) DimensionTravelerCalum: Welcome back everyone.
(12/21 18:57:30) Polgara: Did my very best
(12/21 18:57:39) Carl Palmner: I felt like the Bahro were attacking me all over again.
(12/21 18:57:45) DimensionTravelerCalum: Scary, Carl? really?
(12/21 18:57:51) DimensionTravelerCalum: sorry, didn't mean to be that vibrant...
(12/21 18:57:54) Carl Palmner:
(12/21 18:58:05) Carl Palmner: Like Cal, I unforutunately missed Yeesha's visit.
(12/21 18:58:22) Carl Palmner: I heard about it from my friend Jazz later that day.
(12/21 18:58:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: I think, actually, I'd missed her by 10 minutes
(12/21 18:59:01) DimensionTravelerCalum: 'cause, I had to leave for something, and, she appeared almost...
(12/21 18:59:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: Right about now, I think.
(12/21 18:59:11) DimensionTravelerCalum: 5 Oclock Mountain Time.
(12/21 18:59:21) DimensionTravelerCalum: *shrug*
(12/21 18:59:22) Carl Palmner: I was there when the Bahro brought the Myst Book
(12/21 18:59:31) Carl Palmner: I remember being horribly frightened--thought it might be a hostile one.
(12/21 18:59:46) Carl Palmner: All right, looks like everyone is here so I'll conclude our presentation.
(12/21 18:59:56) DimensionTravelerCalum:
(12/21 19:00:05) DimensionTravelerCalum: Go ahead Carl, Chat Log's still running.
(12/21 19:00:05) Carl Palmner: In the months that followed what I've come to call the "Day of Yeesha"...
(12/21 19:00:14) Carl Palmner: The DRC did not return.
(12/21 19:00:2

Carl Palmner: We learned through other sources that Cate was not the only investor to cease funding.
(12/21 19:00:4

Carl Palmner: Gametap, the other major investor, was pulling the plug as well.
(12/21 19:01:00) DimensionTravelerCalum: Turner had internal problems, however,
(12/21 19:01:01) Carl Palmner: (Why a computer game company was funding the exploration at all, I'll never know...)
(12/21 19:01:04) DimensionTravelerCalum: We tend not to blame them.
(12/21 19:01:12) Carl Palmner: Agreed.
(12/21 19:01:20) DimensionTravelerCalum: cate however,...
(12/21 19:01:26) DimensionTravelerCalum is a bit upset...
(12/21 19:01:3

Carl Palmner: At any rate, we all remained in the cavern for a little while.
(12/21 19:01:50) Carl Palmner: In fact, I don't think the last explorer left until sometime in April.
(12/21 19:02:06) Carl Palmner: I, however, left as soon as I learned the project was being ended.
(12/21 19:02:0

DimensionTravelerCalum: It depended on the time zones, either april 9th or 10th.
(12/21 19:02:22) Carl Palmner: Somehow I couldn't bear coming here, knowing it was all going to be taken away.
(12/21 19:02:3

Carl Palmner: One by one, we made our Exodus back to the surface, back to our jobs and school and families
(12/21 19:02:41) Carl Palmner: Back to our lives.
(12/21 19:02:4

Carl Palmner: But we never forgot the cavern.
(12/21 19:03:10) Carl Palmner: And in February of this last year, for seemingly no reason at all, numbers in the cavern began to climb again.
(12/21 19:03:22) DimensionTravelerCalum: Actually, Carl, there is a reason for that.
(12/21 19:03:27) Carl Palmner: Now there are many who once again call this place home.
(12/21 19:03:31) DimensionTravelerCalum: watson broke a seal or something, tripped a sensor,
(12/21 19:03:37) Carl Palmner: (Shh Cal)
(12/21 19:03:40) DimensionTravelerCalum: (XP)
(12/21 19:04:07) Carl Palmner: It is strange that so many should hear the Call, with Bahro now freed and Yeesha gone, and yet, here we are.
(12/21 19:04:10) Char Gearz: Handyman Henry flipped a switch
(12/21 19:04:10) Carl Palmner: This is not a Restoration.
(12/21 19:04:24) Carl Palmner: But it IS a Great Uru--the Third Great Uru.
(12/21 19:04:53) Carl Palmner: We've told you this story because we want you to understand your situation.
(12/21 19:05:00) Carl Palmner: Yeesha is gone, but not for good.
(12/21 19:05:05) Carl Palmner: The Bahro are gone, but not for good.
(12/21 19:05:12) Carl Palmner: Destruction has not been stopped, but delayed.
(12/21 19:05:29) Carl Palmner: Because you see, although the rest of his data was accurate, I believe Cal made one small mistake in his presentation.
(12/21 19:05:35) Carl Palmner: (Although it could be me that is wrong).
(12/21 19:05:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: (*shrug* nobody's perfect)
(12/21 19:05:46) Carl Palmner: He said that the Bahro protecting us were the bigger side.
(12/21 19:05:55) DimensionTravelerCalum: Erm, That was in Yeesha's speech
(12/21 19:06:12) Carl Palmner: But according to Sharper, Watson, and Phil, they were also the LOSING side.
(12/21 19:06:19) Char Gearz: so is that the presentation?
(12/21 19:06:19) DimensionTravelerCalum: so, maybe the chatlog was wrong?
(12/21 19:06:50) Carl Palmner: Perhaps--at any rate, it is safe to say that regardless of numbers, the hostile Bahro are far stronger than the friendly ones.
(12/21 19:06:5

Char Gearz: delaying Destruction..lol
(12/21 19:07:06) Carl Palmner: I have said before that any Bahro you may encounter here are probably friendly, and now you know why.
(12/21 19:07:17) Char Gearz: stoplog..lol
(12/21 19:07:1

Carl Palmner: Someday, the hostile ones wil return.
(12/21 19:07:27) Carl Palmner: Watson told us what to do when that happened.
(12/21 19:07:30) Carl Palmner: Do you remember?
(12/21 19:07:3

Char Gearz: oh my
(12/21 19:07:44) DimensionTravelerCalum: Find a way. Make a Home.
(12/21 19:07:46) DimensionTravelerCalum: right?
(12/21 19:07:52) Carl Palmner: He told us that we would need to find some method of stopping the hostile Bahro.
(12/21 19:07:53) guillaume leray (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
(12/21 19:08:02) Carl Palmner: He told us that we would need to find something to end their war.
(12/21 19:08:10) DimensionTravelerCalum: Ah, right.
(12/21 19:08:12) Carl Palmner: That's why it's so important that we continue to Write and explore NEW Ages.
(12/21 19:08:24) Carl Palmner: And that's why we need to work in the Guilds to prepare for the Bahro's return.
(12/21 19:08:25) Char Gearz: now its an argument
(12/21 19:08:46) Carl Palmner: Your coming here is not without purpose.
(12/21 19:08:59) Carl Palmner: No Great Uru just "happens". There is always a reason.
(12/21 19:09:05) Carl Palmner: We are those who must prepare.
(12/21 19:09:0

Carl Palmner: So find a way.
(12/21 19:09:10) Carl Palmner: Make a home.
(12/21 19:09:13) Carl Palmner: This is our heritage.
(12/21 19:09:19) Carl Palmner bows
