Editing Reference:2003-11-19 Zardoz's encounter with Phil Henderson

What follows is [[explorer]] Zardoz&#39;s account of his encounter with [[Phil Henderson]]:

''To the [[DRC]]:

Earlier today, I received a message from [[Victor Laxman]]. He told me of some strange signals coming from [[Eder Kemo]]. I volunteered to investigate these signals, and immediately linked there. Upon arriving, I made a quick search but could find nothing unusual.

As I prepared to send a message back to Laxman, I received a message through my KI from &quot;phend&quot;. Being familiar with the early history of the DRC&#39;s work (through the dated notes on this website), I guessed that &quot;phend&quot; might be Phil Henderson, who disappeared more than a year ago. When phend said &quot;dark&quot;, I surmised he was in the cave behind the Journey door. Upon opening the door, I was confronted by a man in a red shirt, blue jeans, bare feet, and a pony tail. The man was Phil Henderson.

I had previously discovered the logging feature of the KI, and had turned it on when I first linked into Kemo. Below is the transcript of my conversation with Henderson. If the DRC has any questions, I am more than willing to answer them.

(11/19 15:50:34) Zardoz: No. Not exactly an approved explorer<br />
(11/19 15:50:56) phend: I remember Greer, I spoke with him before I left.<br />
(11/19 15:51:12) Zardoz: &quot;Left&quot;? Do you recall where you went?<br />

(11/19 15:52:12) phend: How can I get to Ae&#39;gura?<br />
(11/19 15:52:33) Zardoz: Not easy - do you know about the Nexus?<br />
(11/19 15:52:57) phend: Yeah.<br />
(11/19 15:53:04) Zardoz: I can get you there, through the Nexus<br />
(11/19 15:53:32) Zardoz: But I don&#39;t know if any DRC are there now<br />
(11/19 15:53:58) Zardoz: And we&#39;ll have to go a roundabout way<br />
(11/19 15:54:02) phend: Okay, that&#39;d be great... I&#39;ll have a better chance of finding them there.<br />
(11/19 15:54:13) Zardoz: Okay, &quot;follow&quot; me<br />
(11/19 15:54:18) phend: okay<br />
(11/19 15:54:28) From Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: did you say &quot;Phil&quot;?<br />
(11/19 15:54:44) Zardoz: Hmm, having trouible getting this to work<br />
(11/19 15:55:31) Zardoz: Phil, there is a new book, I&#39;m trying to &quot;share&quot; it with you<br />
(11/19 15:55:59) phend: okay, I feel funny<br />
(11/19 15:56:07) Zardoz: But you don&#39;t seem to &quot;be there&quot;<br />
(11/19 15:56:24) phend: The DRC used to keep a book here. Is it still there?<br />
(11/19 15:56:28) Zardoz: Victor Laxman is talking to me - do you want him to come here?<br />
(11/19 15:57:05) To Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: Just one minute, Mr. Laxman<br />
(11/19 15:57:09) phend: Victor?<br />
(11/19 15:57:12) Zardoz: Yes<br />
(11/19 15:57:30) phend: No, I&#39;ll find them. But thanks.<br />
(11/19 15:57:39) Zardoz: Okay - good luck<br />
(11/19 15:58:07) phend: wait<br />
(11/19 15:58:14) Zardoz: Yes?<br />
(11/19 15:58:35) phend: can you open the door again - I need some time<br />
(11/19 15:58:51) Zardoz: Okay - but will you return?<br />
(11/19 15:59:29) phend: Yeah, I think I need to. I&#39;m just not... just need some time.<br />

(11/19 16:00:51) Zardoz: We&#39;ve come with some help - Jeff Zandi<br />
(11/19 16:01:09) Zardoz: The DRC isn&#39;t thrilled<br />
(11/19 16:01:14) phend: Yeah, how many have come?<br />
(11/19 16:01:27) Zardoz: Lots - I think in the low hundreds<br />
(11/19 16:01:28) phend: They must learn.<br />
(11/19 16:01:37) Zardoz: We&#39;ve had help learning, too<br />
(11/19 16:01:40) phend: Wow. So soon&#33;<br />
(11/19 16:02:31) phend: Did the DRC let them come?<br />
(11/19 16:02:47) Zardoz: Let them - well, they&#39;re tolerating us, not thrilled to see so many<br />
(11/19 16:03:21) phend: But the city... and the ages. They weren&#39;t even near ready? When did you come?<br />
(11/19 16:03:30) phend: How did you know me?<br />
(11/19 16:03:51) Zardoz: I knew you from Greer&#39;s report<br />
(11/19 16:04:13) Zardoz: And we started coming a few days ago, altho some of us have been here longer<br />
(11/19 16:05:01) phend: Okay, I&#39;ll be back... when I&#39;m more ready. Will you help me again?<br />
(11/19 16:05:14) Zardoz: Yes. Should I mention this to Laxman?<br />
(11/19 16:05:27) phend: He&#39;ll know.<br />
(11/19 16:05:38) phend: bye<br />
(11/19 16:05:39) Zardoz: Okay. Good luck, and take care.<br />
(11/19 16:05:44) phend: ...and thanks.<br />

(11/19 16:07:03) From Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: Still here.<br />
(11/19 16:07:09) To Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: Ooops, you&#39;re not a Dr.<br />
(11/19 16:07:18) To Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: I just met Phil Henderson<br />
(11/19 16:07:23) From Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: I&#39;ve been called worse.<br />
(11/19 16:07:42) From Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: That was my first guess.<br />
(11/19 16:07:54) From Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: Is he OK?<br />
(11/19 16:07:57) To Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: He seemed dazed and confused, but healthy<br />
(11/19 16:08:39) To Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: He was in the cave behind the door with the Journey symbol<br />
(11/19 16:08:53) From Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: Where can I meet with you both?<br />
(11/19 16:09:18) To Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: He has returned to the cave - I respected his wishes and let him go<br />
(11/19 16:09:29) To Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: In Eder Kemo<br />
(11/19 16:09:33) From Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: His KI signal has gone.<br />
(11/19 16:09:46) To Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: He did say he would return<br />
(11/19 16:09:55) From Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: I thought he might still be there<br />
(11/19 16:10:32) To Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: Is it appropriate to explore the cave?<br />
(11/19 16:10:42) From Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: Marie will be very glad to hear he&#39;s OK.<br />
(11/19 16:11:32) From Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: Please let me know if you hear from him again.<br />
(11/19 16:11:41) To Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: Okay<br />
(11/19 16:11:46) From Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: The cave&#39;s the least of my concerns at this point.<br />
(11/19 16:11:59) From Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: But be careful. I don&#39;t know what&#39;s going on.<br />
(11/19 16:12:18) To Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: Very strange in here<br />
(11/19 16:13:44) To Victor Laxman in Victor Laxman&#39;s Nexus: Is it appropriate to mention this on the DRC site message board?<br />
