Editing Reference:2006-12-21 Michael Engberg in Ae'gura

(12/21 23:30:39) '''Michael Engberg''': Well, the DRC is a bit split on that issue - opening things up.<br />
(12/21 23:30:57) Dan'nee: Which side do you rest on?<br />
(12/21 23:30:58 ) '''Michael Engberg''': And I have to admit that I'm one of the more cautious ones.<br />
(12/21 23:31:21) Kero: I still find it hard to believe that a Bahro screem caused us to loose our hood heek tables and scopes<br />
(12/21 23:31:25) Dan'nee: When they say that certain things have been noticed since Tuesday, what do they mean?<br />
(12/21 23:31:26) '''Michael Engberg''': My daughter spends time down here and so... well you understand<br />
(12/21 23:32:03) Do'Tsahvahn: I hope this incident hasn't cost you too much family time.<br />
(12/21 23:32:05) ian1: We don't know that it was the scream that caused it. It could have been something else.<br />
(12/21 23:32:28 ) Do'Tsahvahn: Especially this time of year.<br />
(12/21 23:32:36) '''Michael Engberg''': I was on the surface with my daughter until today.<br />
(12/21 23:32:44) Dan'nee: How is she?<br />
(12/21 23:33:02) '''Michael Engberg''': She's fine. She'll be joining me on Saturday I belive.<br />
(12/21 23:33:09) Dan'nee: Great!<br />
(12/21 23:33:10) '''Michael Engberg''': If everything works out.<br />
(12/21 23:33:17) Analord: Kero, it's already been explained to us that the DRC took down the hood elements for technical reasons..<br />
(12/21 23:33:18 ) ian1: How often does she come down here to the cavern?<br />
(12/21 23:33:50) '''Michael Engberg''': She comes down on occasion. She's been in school. But coming back down now for a while.<br />
(12/21 23:34:06) ian1: :)<br />
(12/21 23:34:18 ) '''Michael Engberg''': She loves it down here. Hard to keep her away.<br />
(12/21 23:34:24) Kero: ok - This is my first time in the city - guess I missed the explanating<br />
(12/21 23:34:29) ian1: I can see why<br />
(12/21 23:34:30 ) '''Michael Engberg''': I know shes met some of you - but I don't know who.<br />
(12/21 23:34:32) Kero: explination<br />
(12/21 23:34:41) Dan'nee: What is your particular job with the DRC, Michael Engberg?<br />
(12/21 23:35:20 ) '''Michael Engberg''': I'm a structural engineer by trade. Comes in handy.<br />
(12/21 23:35:22) To Kero: Michael Engberg works with the D'ni Restoration Council in restoring the city<br />
(12/21 23:35:42) '''Michael Engberg''': So me being late didn't help with getting things inspected and open. Sorry.<br />
(12/21 23:35:53) Analord: Complicated structures we've got around here..<br />
(12/21 23:35:59) Dan'nee: What were you doing, if you don't mind us asking?<br />
(12/21 23:36:06) '''Michael Engberg''': Just now?<br />
(12/21 23:36:10) From Kero: thanks Dan'nee<br />
(12/21 23:36:16) Do'Tsahvahn: That would work, too.<br />
(12/21 23:36:17) Dan'nee: that held you up 'till today<br />
(12/21 23:36:23) Analord: I think he's asking why you were late..<br />
(12/21 23:36:51) '''Michael Engberg''': Oh, on the surface I was spending time with Wheely while she was wrapping up school.<br />
(12/21 23:36:51) Do'Tsahvahn: Shopping for last minute gifts?<br />
(12/21 23:37:03) '''Michael Engberg''': No time for shopping. :)<br />
(12/21 23:37:09) Dan'nee: Some much needed vacation, I suppose<br />
(12/21 23:37:36) '''Michael Engberg''': Well, I like it down here as much as any vacation. But every now and then...<br />
(12/21 23:37:44) Dan'nee: What school is Wheely attending?<br />
(12/21 23:37:53) Analord: It has to be work sometimes...<br />
(12/21 23:38:05) Dan'nee: I'm sorry if I'm getting too personal, but we're all interested in the DRC and the restoration<br />
(12/21 23:38:05) '''Michael Engberg''': High School in Portland.<br />
(12/21 23:38:18 ) Branan: Oregon? or Maine?<br />
(12/21 23:38:32) '''Michael Engberg''': Oregon, that's we're from.<br />
(12/21 23:38:55) '''Michael Engberg''': She's been suffering through school, wanting to get back down here.<br />
(12/21 23:39:08 ) Dan'nee: Believe me, we understand. :)<br />
(12/21 23:39:14) Branan: I know that feeling all too well<br />
(12/21 23:39:16) Kero: I can believe it<br />
(12/21 23:39:22) Alan: May I ask you something about the members of the DRC?<br />
(12/21 23:39:29) Dan'nee: I'm just glad I have some time off work right now<br />
(12/21 23:39:30 ) '''Michael Engberg''': Certainly.<br />
(12/21 23:39:31) Analord: Funny you choose that word. You make it seem you agree she would be better off down here than in school. :-)<br />
(12/21 23:39:59) Alan: have some or all of you participated in Yeesha's journy?<br />
(12/21 23:39:59) Branan: You can learn the history of the Multiverse down here. Far more interesting than algebra<br />
(12/21 23:40:05) '''Michael Engberg''': Well, I'll be "home schooling" her down here for her next semester.<br />
(12/21 23:40:32) Analord: That would be an awesome experience. So much for public school...<br />
(12/21 23:40:37) Do'Tsahvahn: So that's why the classroom imagers are back on...<br />
(12/21 23:40:41) Dan'nee: I'd like to know that, too, Alan.<br />
(12/21 23:40:43) '''Michael Engberg''': We've all participated in Yeesha's journey. I think we've all changed a bit.<br />
(12/21 23:41:20 ) Alan: May i ask why you don't carry your relto?<br />
(12/21 23:41:27) '''Michael Engberg''': We started with some pretty preconcieved notions about things. I think we're more open now.<br />
(12/21 23:41:40 ) ian1: I have a question.<br />
(12/21 23:41:45) Analord: That's nice to hear.<br />
(12/21 23:41:50 ) Do'Tsahvahn: It's interesting. The cavern closing has changed explorers too. I haven't heard much DRC bashing as their used to be...<br />
(12/21 23:41:57) '''Michael Engberg''': I do. You just can't see it. (EDIT: This said in response to the question "May I ask why you don't carry your relto)<br />
(12/21 23:42:07) Do'Tsahvahn: Sorry to hear that.<br />
(12/21 23:42:15) ian1: Is the govornment aware of the existance of D'ni?<br />
(12/21 23:42:16) Dan'nee: No, he means he carries his Relot<br />
(12/21 23:42:20) Dan'nee: You just can't see it<br />
(12/21 23:42:25) Do'Tsahvahn: Er...<br />
(12/21 23:42:30) Do'Tsahvahn: Which question did he answer/<br />
(12/21 23:42:38 ) Ragdrazi: Well, as I understand it, the DRC has finally started to work the PR angle.<br />
(12/21 23:42:53) Alan: Ah, fair. big pockets i guess. :)<br />
(12/21 23:42:57) '''Michael Engberg''': Sorry, you can't see my Relto. But I wouldn't be caught without it.<br />
(12/21 23:43:16) Alan: May I inquire about how your perceptions have changed between before and after taling the journy?<br />
(12/21 23:43:23) Dan'nee: What about ian's question? I'm interested in knowing if the government knows about D'ni, too.<br />
(12/21 23:43:33) '''Michael Engberg''': I have no idea on the governments awareness of this place. They certainly haven't sent any funding. :)<br />
(12/21 23:43:58 ) Kero: Scuse me if I ask something that has been asked before - any estimate as to when we will be allowed to join you on that side of the barriers?<br />
(12/21 23:44:05) Do'Tsahvahn: Michael, did you know the cavern is not ADA complient? :>)<br />
(12/21 23:44:09) Alan: isn't it illegal to conduct archaeological digs and surveys without government permission?<br />
(12/21 23:44:21) '''Michael Engberg''': Perceptions at first were very steeped in what we knew. I think we're more open to...<br />
(12/21 23:44:32) '''Michael Engberg''': what we don't know and understand now.<br />
(12/21 23:44:35) Ragdrazi: magic?<br />
(12/21 23:44:40) Alan: Thanks you.<br />
(12/21 23:44:48 ) Ragdrazi: What we don't know and understand now.<br />
(12/21 23:44:50) Ragdrazi: ...<br />
(12/21 23:44:54) '''Michael Engberg''': Well, some might call it magic. I prefer to think we just don't understand it.<br />
(12/21 23:44:56) '''Michael Engberg''': :)<br />
(12/21 23:44:58 ) Dan'nee: Have you heard any more from Yeesha lately, that we haven't?<br />
(12/21 23:45:00) Ragdrazi: ...<br />
(12/21 23:45:10) Branan: Are the areas closed off just closed for inspection, to make sure nothing's collapsed over the past couple years, or are there other reason related to the recent linking Event?<br />
(12/21 23:45:24) Branan: Or other reasons in general, really<br />
(12/21 23:45:33) Dan'nee: Yes, it was related to the recently linking Event, they are inspeting things<br />
(12/21 23:45:35) Ragdrazi: I'm tired of this Yeesha person. I know nothing of her and already I'm tired of her.<br />
(12/21 23:45:37) Dan'nee: making sure it's safe<br />
(12/21 23:45:45) '''Michael Engberg''': We've heard what you've heard regarding Yeesha.<br />
(12/21 23:45:54) Alan: but yes, isn't it illegal to conduct archaeological activities without a government permit?<br />
(12/21 23:46:14) Branan: Depends on the nature of the dig, etc.<br />
(12/21 23:46:17) '''Michael Engberg''': Most of the closed areas are that way for inspection. We had some minor damage, or at least...<br />
(12/21 23:46:25) '''Michael Engberg''': we want to make sure it was only minor.<br />
(12/21 23:46:38 ) Ragdrazi: Shouldn't we ~all~ have hard hats.<br />
(12/21 23:46:51) '''Michael Engberg''': I'm glad to see some of you wearing the Santa hats I brought down today.<br />
(12/21 23:46:58 ) Do'Tsahvahn: Was there some sort of seismic event when we all linked?<br />
(12/21 23:47:07) Alan: thanks fer the hats Michael.<br />
(12/21 23:47:12) Analord: Thank you! It's a wonderful addition to my garb...<br />
(12/21 23:47:13) Branan: Thanks for the hats<br />
(12/21 23:47:23) '''Michael Engberg''': I think there were all kinds of events when the link happened.<br />
(12/21 23:47:28 ) Do'Tsahvahn: Is the damage at least consistent with a seismic event?<br />
(12/21 23:47:30) Dan'nee raises hand<br />
(12/21 23:47:47) Do'Tsahvahn: Could you explain, Michael?<br />
(12/21 23:47:55) '''Michael Engberg''': Actually I had selfish reasons for the Holiday decor - Wheely. :)<br />
(12/21 23:48:00) '''Michael Engberg''': She'll love it.<br />
(12/21 23:48:08 ) Dan'nee: Have you heard any word of "Destruction is coming"?<br />
(12/21 23:48:10) ian1: :D<br />
(12/21 23:48:23) Kero: love the hat - just wish I had that beautiful T- shirt with the Arch on it back<br />
(12/21 23:48:43) Alan: will the site maps of the cavern and mapping of artifacts in situe be made available to explorers at some point?<br />
(12/21 23:48:43) '''Michael Engberg''': Some of the damage is consistant with a seismic event, and some of the changes aren't explainable...<br />
(12/21 23:48:49) '''Michael Engberg''': by anything I know of.<br />
(12/21 23:49:03) Do'Tsahvahn: Interesting.<br />
(12/21 23:49:06) '''Michael Engberg''': But that's what we're looking into.<br />
(12/21 23:49:34) '''Michael Engberg''': Victor said he saw some kind of spike on the lattice as well. I don't even really know what that means...<br />
(12/21 23:49:37) ian1: Can you give an example of one of the unexplainable changes?<br />
(12/21 23:49:52) '''Michael Engberg''': except it messed up some KI stuff, and imager stuff I believe.<br />
(12/21 23:50:32) '''Michael Engberg''': Well some things just changed. Things that were in certain places were gone, and/or moved.<br />
(12/21 23:50:59) Dan'nee: When in doubt, blame the Bahro?<br />
(12/21 23:51:09) Do'Tsahvahn: Did the lattice/changes affect the Great Zero? Will we be able to start calibrating it again soon?<br />
(12/21 23:51:20) Branan: I know all of you at the DRC are busy, but do you think you could talk to Mr. Laxman about giving a presentation on how the Lattice system actually works? I'm sure that many of us are curious about what exactly it is we wear on our hands<br />
(12/21 23:51:23) '''Michael Engberg''': I'm sure you noticed the neighborhood had some items missing. We're looking for those items.<br />
(12/21 23:51:55) '''Michael Engberg''': I'll talk to Victor about that. I might learn something, too.<br />
(12/21 23:52:10) Branan: thanks<br />
(12/21 23:52:26) Alan: Didn't one of the DRC members earlier say that those items had been removed for some reaosn? is that not true? did they just disapear?<br />
(12/21 23:52:29) ian1: Were all of the missing items a result of the incident or did you remove some?<br />
(12/21 23:52:32) '''Michael Engberg''': Great Zero is being inspected as well. I'll be heading up there in the next few days. I have no idea what to expect.<br />
(12/21 23:52:57) '''Michael Engberg''': We turned things off, but didn't really move things.<br />
(12/21 23:53:08 ) Dan'nee: Kind of off topic question, but ddo you know which Neighborhood the DRC belogns to?<br />
(12/21 23:53:28 ) '''Michael Engberg''': And things haven't really dissapeared, they've just been rearranged. Or they show up again.<br />
(12/21 23:53:31) '''Michael Engberg''': Very strange.<br />
(12/21 23:53:41) '''Michael Engberg''': Although we've seen this before.<br />
(12/21 23:53:48 ) '''Michael Engberg''': On a smaller scale.<br />
(12/21 23:53:51) Dan'nee: When have you seen this before?<br />
(12/21 23:54:06) Do'Tsahvahn: Was there a single previous event, or many?<br />
(12/21 23:54:22) '''Michael Engberg''': eChip your safty is in your own hands back here.<br />
(12/21 23:54:23) Analord: I have to go.. It was very nice to meet and speak wit you Mr. Engberg...<br />
(12/21 23:54:33) Alan: Hulllo echip... how did you get over there? and how can i get over there?<br />
(12/21 23:54:46) Ragdrazi laughs<br />
(12/21 23:54:46) '''Michael Engberg''': I don't recommend it.<br />
(12/21 23:54:54) eChip: Scared me and I ain't scared of nuttin........<br />
(12/21 23:55:03) '''Michael Engberg''': We'll do what we can to get this area cleared.<br />
(12/21 23:55:17) Kero: very soon I hope<br />
(12/21 23:55:22) '''Michael Engberg''': I hope so.<br />
(12/21 23:55:37) '''Michael Engberg''': Thanks for your patience.<br />
(12/21 23:55:39) Dan'nee: We appreciate your efforts, Micahel. And all the DRC<br />
(12/21 23:55:57) Robert F. Caine: Will the DRC website be updated soon?<br />
(12/21 23:56:00 ) '''Michael Engberg''': It's a marvelous place, the city proper. But in much worse condition than here.<br />
(12/21 23:56:09) Alan: you do realize that being patronised aout our safety is not endearing.>? I mean its my responsibility to look after my self. why am i not allowed to decide whats safe for me?<br />
(12/21 23:56:10 ) Kero: I just want more places to explore<br />
(12/21 23:56:17) '''Michael Engberg''': There are many more areas here to open before the city proper.<br />
(12/21 23:56:45) Do'Tsahvahn: What is beyond the gate tunnel by the Ferry Terminal?<br />
(12/21 23:56:45) '''Michael Engberg''': We'll finish up our inspections, and try to get on to some other places and ages. We know you want them soon.<br />
(12/21 23:57:11) '''Michael Engberg''': It goes over below the concert halll.<br />
(12/21 23:57:22) eChip: goto Eder Gira (steam vents), jump over the stream, touch linking book then<br />
(12/21 23:57:35) '''Michael Engberg''': D'ni used to sail their boats over there and listen to the concerts in that canyon.<br />
(12/21 23:57:44) '''Michael Engberg''': Must have been magnificent.<br />
(12/21 23:57:45) catherwood: i'm still in awe of what i see right now, sure would love a boat ride out on the water to take it all in<br />
(12/21 23:57:47) Dan'nee: That sounds pretty neat<br />
(12/21 23:57:48 ) Kero: And I wish the DRC would stop treating me like a child<br />
(12/21 23:58:00) eChip: Link to the Tokotah roof top then get on the pile of boxes then<br />
(12/21 23:58:04) '''Michael Engberg''': How old are you Kero?<br />
(12/21 23:58:10) '''Michael Engberg''': :)<br />
(12/21 23:58:27) Alan: Like in toronto harbour sometimes...<br />
(12/21 23:58:34) Kero: pushing 40<br />
(12/21 23:58:37) '''Michael Engberg''': Sometimes the children have more benefits than the adults around here.<br />
(12/21 23:58:39) eChip: Practice running at the left front corner of the top box, under the lantern then<br />
(12/21 23:59:03) Ragdrazi: ...<br />
(12/21 23:59:04) Alan: how do you mean Michael?<br />
(12/21 23:59:19) '''Michael Engberg''': Well I'll leave you all to try killing yourself by jumping off the Tokotah rooftop!<br />
(12/21 23:59:21) Dan'nee: The adults have to work :)<br />
(12/21 23:59:32) eChip: Try it several hunderd times and you should get a super jump over the wall at 60 ft high to this area<br />
(12/21 23:59:33) '''Michael Engberg''': Thanks for chatting. It's nice to see so many of you.<br />
(12/21 23:59:43) catherwood waves<br />

(12/22 00:00:08 ) '''Michael Engberg''': Of course. Thanks again for your patience. I'm sure you'll be seeing more of me.<br />
(12/22 00:00:09) Ragdrazi: (not particularly)<br />
(12/22 00:00:10) eChip: Good luck<br />
