To phend Phil, Shorah. Are you going anywhere tonight?<br />
From phend in phend's Relto: I am resting. How are you?<br />
To phend Oh, sorry to bother you. Are feeling okay?<br />
From phend in phend's Relto: Yes. Maybe I will go somewhere now.<br />
To phend Good. I had no chance to meet you in person. Would you tell me where are you going?<br />
From phend in phend's Relto: Where would you like me to go? Do you have a Neighborhood?<br />
To phend I don't have a personal Hood. I'm in Vision (4) hood. Would you like to meet at Maverick?<br />
From phend in phend's Relto: Sure. I'm going there.<br />
To phend Okay, thanks. I'm going there. Will Douglas come?<br />
From phend in phend's Relto: No. He isn't with me.<br />
'''phend''': Hello.<br />
To phend Shorah b'shemtee.<br />
'''phend''': I'm Phil.<br />
To phend Hi, I'm Ayli. How are you doing? I heard that Douglas completed his Journey.<br />
'''phend''': I'm fine. Yes, he did. It was interesting for him.<br />
To phend Was anything new discovered?<br />
'''phend''': I think he learned some things.<br />
To phend Like what?<br />
'''phend''': Only what those who complete their Journey see and hear. But, he didn't know Yeesha. So, now he understands what she is about.<br />
To phend Have you seen anything unusual during your absence?<br />
'''phend''': I was only surprised to find that so many were now in D'ni. When I left there were very few.<br />
To phend Very few of what?<br />
'''phend''': Explorers.<br />
Ayli: Oh, yes, we are growing in numbers.<br />
'''phend''': Today many more have come? When did you come?<br />
Ayli: I would say 11 months.<br />
'''phend''': You've been exploring before the new start.<br />
Ayli: Phil, have you met Yeesha in person?<br />
'''phend''': Yes, haven't you?<br />
Ayli: Well, yes, but she was the only one who talked, I couldn't ask her questions.<br />
'''phend''': She left quickly.<br />
Ayli: Phil, would you like to sit, so as not to expend your energy?<br />
'''phend''': I am okay standing. I have to go soon. Have you seen the Least?<br />
Ayli: Yes, of course, but from afar. You?<br />
'''phend''': Far and close.<br />
Ayli: Did you learn their language?<br />
'''phend''': No. I don't know if they speak a language.<br />
Ayli: Yes it sounded more like a growl. But, all intelligent species develop a language, don’t they?<br />
'''phend''': I don't know. How do you know intelligence? By speech? By action?<br />
Ayli: Communication, building things, society, civilization...If they could organize themselves and fight oppressors, that’s intelligence, isn't it?<br />
'''phend''': Is a single man on an island intelligent?<br />
Ayli starts to laugh.<br />
Ayli: It depends. Maybe he writes on the sand...<br />
'''phend''': To who? Maybe he only fishes and laughs.<br />
Ayli: Hey, you can talk to yourself in extreme circumstances.<br />
'''phend''': Yes. Talking.<br />
Ayli: Well, man is intelligent in general as a species.<br />
'''phend''': Because they speak, and use tools, and build things? The Bahro are not like men.<br />
Ayli: Where did they came from? Which Age?<br />
'''phend''': I don't know, but they are here. Maybe from here?<br />
Ayli: Hello.<br />
'''phend''': Hello.<br />
Ayli: Hello, Moranda.<br />
'''phend''': Hello, Moranda. You are wearing her clothing.<br />
Moranda: Yes, I wear her gift.<br />
'''phend''': How long have you been in D'ni?<br />
Moranda: Long time.<br />
'''phend''': Me, too.<br />
Moranda: How are you, Phil? I have been concerned.<br />
'''phend''': What?<br />
Moranda: Yes...with your coming back and then with Sharper's Journey.<br />
'''phend''': You are concerned?<br />
Moranda: I do not understand where things are going.<br />
'''phend''': No one knows where things are going. Only the Maker knows where things might go.<br />
Moranda: Yes...but so many ideas...who to follow...not sure.<br />
'''phend''': Hello.<br />
Tink: Is Tink.<br />
Moranda: Shorah.<br />
'''phend''': Join us, Tink...quickly.<br />
Tink: Sorry, Phil.<br />
Moranda: Ah, Tink.<br />
Tink: Always look for the lavender.<br />
Moranda: Lavender is good...for Tink.<br />
Tink: What be happening, guys?<br />
Moranda: Not much.<br />
'''phend''': You are not a Maverick...only in that Neighborhood, Tink.<br />
Tink: Oh, Tink be Maverick, alright.<br />
'''phend''': I don't think Mavericks wear lavender.<br />
Tink: They do in DaDungeon! How has Mr. Henderson's day gone so far?<br />
'''phend''': Good. I talked with many people this morning with Douglas.<br />
Ayli: What about, Phil?<br />
Tink: Cool...what did you all say?<br />
'''phend''': Maybe I will wear lavender...I am a Maverick.<br />
Tink: Mr. Henderson, you wear whatever suits you. Maybe lavender sandals?<br />
'''phend''': You call me Mr. Henderson, but most people call me Phil. Why?<br />
Tink: We haven't been properly introduced…and you haven't given me permission to call you by your first name.<br />
'''phend''': Hello, I am Phil.<br />
Tink: (laughs) Glad ta meetcha, Phil!<br />
'''phend''': Nice to meet you, Tink. Can we play the game? I haven't tried it.<br />
Moranda: The game is fun.<br />
Tink: Back to the question? What did you and Douglas say to the others this morning, Tink asks curiously.<br />
Ayli: Oh, yes, lets do it.<br />
Tink: What game? Somebody needing Heek points? I gotta bunch easily won.<br />
Ayli: Yeah, I lost last time I played.<br />
'''phend''': Well, Douglas talked a lot about telling others. Letting others know about her. And some people seemed angry.<br />
Tink: The lady of the Least?<br />
'''phend''': Yes.<br />
Tink: People do that.<br />
Moranda: What did he say to make them angry?<br />
'''phend''': About "sides" and the DRC.<br />
Moranda: Ah, I see<br />
'''phend''': Some want the DRC to follow her.<br />
Tink: Well, some don't like the feeling of being "herded".<br />
Moranda: I do not believe the DRC will do that.<br />
'''phend''': We are all free to choose. It is a gift. But, there are always limits.<br />
Moranda: Agreed.<br />
Tink: I know,but the angry ones don't. Which limits do you refer to, Phil?<br />
'''phend''': But, the angry ones were for the DRC. I would like the DRC to follow her, but I don't know what they will do. Limits in everything, whether in D'ni or on the surface.<br />
Tink: Did they perceive a "threat" to their original benefactors? The ones who in reality started the way to get here?<br />
'''phend''': Yes.<br />
Tink: Well, Phil, keep trying! Talking is good.<br />
'''phend''': For a while. Action is better.<br />
Tink: Ummm...what kind of action?<br />
'''phend''': There can sometimes be too much talk, but then what comes of it?<br />
Moranda: Sounds like my father. He hated all talk and no action.<br />
'''phend''': Is there another Tink?<br />
Tink: Oh, geez, I hope not!<br />
Ayli: I think talk leads to understanding.<br />
'''phend''': Sometimes.<br />
Tink: Ayli is right...good talk does just that.<br />
'''phend''': But, what if it doesn't?<br />
Moranda: Some learn better from seeing.<br />
'''phend''': When children do not learn from talk, then what do parents do?<br />
Ayli: We can learn by studying.<br />
Tink: A different way of saying what you want to say?<br />
Moranda: Demonstrate.<br />
'''phend''': This best way to learn is by following, yes.<br />
Tink: You be a redhead...redheads can think of lotsa ways to do a thing...like talking...and demonstrating.<br />
'''phend''': And if the example is someone who “does” rather than “talks”...this is the best.<br />
Tink: There be three of us here...tell us what you want us redheads plus one to do, Phil.<br />
Moranda: But, if we are to follow, what are we to do, who is going to show us?<br />
'''phend''': Maybe you should do what I do.<br />
Ayli: What is it, Phil?<br />
Moranda: And this is?<br />
Tink: And what is that, asks one who usually travels her own path?<br />
'''phend''': Right now, I am telling about her, to all who will listen. But, after that...we will see who will listen and follow her and see where it leads.<br />
Tink: Tell us three about her.<br />
Moranda: Yes, after the telling. Tell us. Are we to walk a blind path?<br />
'''phend''': I don't know the future, but I know she has plans.<br />
Moranda: I have heard what she said, and I am trying to understand.<br />
Tink: Convince Tink and Tink'll babble it everywhere...right along with you. Do you know anything of her plan?<br />
'''phend''': I am going to wear lavander sandals from now on.<br />
Tink: See, I may be converting you!<br />
Moranda: Now, what of her plans? We need more information, if we are to help.<br />
Tink: Do any include Explorers?<br />
'''phend''': I will play one game if you want to. Do they have a game here?<br />
Ayli: Yes.<br />
Moranda: Yes.<br />
