'''Nick White''': Busy here.<br /> Dav’on: Shorah, Nick! <br /> (03/09 00:52:33) Niika: Woah, it’s Nick! Hello <br /> (03/09 00:52:46) Aleks: Hello there. Good to finally meet you.<br /> '''Nick White''': What’s happening?<br /> '''Nick White''': Good to meet you.<br /> Aleks: Not much, it seems. People thought Sharper might happen by today.<br /> '''Nick White''': He’s pretty busy… I doubt he will.<br /> '''Nick White''': He’s back though.<br /> Arthur Kalnins: Sharper isn’t coming down today? <br /> (03/09 00:53:55) Arthur Kalnins: or rather coming in<br /> '''Nick White''': Coming in?<br /> Gondar: Ah, there we go. KI is working again.<br /> '''Nick White''': He’s in the cavern if that’s what you mean.<br /> Gondar: Hey Nick. <br /> (03/09 00:54:16) Arthur Kalnins: To talk to people <br /> (03/09 00:54:16) Niika: So, the DRC’s accepted him back into the fold?<br /> '''Nick White''': Yeah.<br /> Gondar: ..and he’s accepted being back in the fold?<br /> '''Nick White''': Not sure if he’ll go around hoods or anyting - like I said he’s pretty buys.<br /> Aleks: Cate seems to be rather keen on him, in any case.<br /> '''Nick White''': busy<br /> '''Nick White''': Yeah…<br /> Arthur Kalnins: So what exactly is he working on?<br /> '''Nick White''': Right now, just setting up shop.<br /> Arthur Kalnins: In Negilahn?<br /> '''Nick White''': No.<br /> Niika: shop?<br /> '''Nick White''': Teledahn.<br /> Arthur Kalnins: Ah <br /> (03/09 00:55:45) Arthur Kalnins: I thought his stuff was all there already <br /> (03/09 00:55:52) Arthur Kalnins: Or are all those crates empty? <br /> (03/09 00:55:55) Gondar: So they have him to resume work? Or is he just setting ‘base camp’ so to speak?<br /> '''Nick White''': Right.<br /> Aleks: I see. So he will be working on that Teledahn II area, huh? <br /> (03/09 00:56:15) ireenquench: Shorah <br /> (03/09 00:56:15) Gondar: Er, work in Teledahn. <br /> (03/09 00:56:15) Niika: They let him back into Teledahn? Wow<br /> '''Nick White''': Just “making the rounds”<br /> '''Nick White''': That kind of stuff.<br /> Arthur Kalnins: Will he be resuming work on Teledahn?<br /> '''Nick White''': I suppose eventually.<br /> Arthur Kalnins: Or continuing in the other areas<br /> '''Nick White''': I think Negilahn is task one.<br /> Niika: checking up on shroomie no doubt <br /> (03/09 00:57:02) Aleks: Ah, I see. He’s gonna see what’s up with the animals, I guess.<br /> '''Nick White''': I believe so.<br /> Gondar: In a way it’s good he’s back and about. Hopefully he can figure out how to help the animals there.<br /> '''Nick White''': Agreed.<br /> Niika: Do you still think that it’s some sort of preditor?<br /> '''Nick White''': Except for the “in a way” part....<br /> '''Nick White''': Yeah.<br /> Arthur Kalnins: Nick, I need some clarification here… Has the DRC found Gehn’s Age 233? <br /> (03/09 00:57:44) ireenquench: Do you know anything about why specifially he is going to check up on the Negilahn animals? Seems like an odd choice on Cate’s end. <br /> (03/09 00:57:47) Gondar: Of course..<br /> '''Nick White''': I think he’s the most experienced with dealing with predatory creatures.<br /> '''Nick White''': Uh… not that I know of on the Gehn’s Age thing..<br /> ireenquench: So predator is still the current guess? I hope it’s not some wild chase against Bahro. <br /> (03/09 00:59:03) Arthur Kalnins: Cyan put out a statement in their Riven soundtrack that it had been. <br /> (03/09 00:59:09) Arthur Kalnins: Something higher up? <br /> (03/09 00:59:15) Arthur Kalnins: than you. <br /> (03/09 00:59:17) Aleks: Makes sense. Though alien predators could be a very scary thing.<br /> '''Nick White''': Arthur, not sure what you mean…<br /> Gondar: Poor Nick.. enough of these grilling sessions and he’ll end up like Kodama. Dry sarcastic wit and a no comment :-D <br /> (03/09 00:59:27) Arthur Kalnins pulls out quote <br /> (03/09 00:59:37) Niika: Do you think he might organize a hunting party? <br /> (03/09 00:59:50) ireenquench shivers<br /> '''Nick White''': I think he’ll probably want to see what he’s dealing with first.<br /> Niika: Nick’s great. He’s the only one who actually talks to us :D <br /> (03/09 01:00:23) Aleks: And the other Pod ages? I hear there’s a population drop in some of them as well? <br /> (03/09 01:00:29) Gondar: Exactly.. and in retrurn we pepper him with questions. Let us know if you mind, Nick.. <br /> (03/09 01:00:30) Arthur Kalnins: It mentions “partial translations of this document (parts of Gehn’s journal) provided taken from Gehn’s office during further experditions to age 233.”<br /> '''Nick White''': Yep - all of them.<br /> '''Nick White''': Not sure Arthur.<br /> Aleks: Any idea why that might be?<br /> '''Nick White''': I don’t have experience with Gehn’s journal.<br /> ireenquench: Must be some strange predator if it does it in ALL ages. <br /> (03/09 01:01:22) Arthur Kalnins: You would understand how that Age would be VERY interesting to see. <br /> (03/09 01:01:25) Aleks: Unless the Bahro are doing it....<br /> '''Nick White''': The drop has beent he worst in Neg<br /> '''Nick White''': But slight drops in all of them.<br /> Gondar: Different predators I assumed ireen. Was there any signs the D’ni had any sort of forced balance to the ages? To keep popul;ation in check?<br /> '''Nick White''': Yes, Arthur, I do understand that.<br /> Niika: All pod ages? <br /> (03/09 01:01:58) ireenquench: I had been thinking Bahro as well, but not predator, rather more : noah’s arch <br /> (03/09 01:02:05) Gondar: Perhaps to ensure people could see creatures who normally would be rare?<br /> '''Nick White''': They were messing with creature populations a bit it would seem - similar to a zoo.<br /> Aleks: Might be something set up by the D’ni, true. <br /> (03/09 01:02:31) Gondar: And now that the keepers are gone, the tigers eat the zebras. Yeah. :- <br /> (03/09 01:02:43) Kedry: Hello! <br /> (03/09 01:02:49) Aleks: But its strange that it would take so long, and all at once. <br /> (03/09 01:02:56) Aleks: Across ages, no less.<br /> '''Nick White''': Yeah, weird stuff.<br /> Niika: When did the predation start? <br /> (03/09 01:03:11) Arthur Kalnins: Another thing that’s been going around… Michael Simpson mentioned in his Gahreesen review that the rock pinnacle was the first place the DRC was able to “save a link” Does this mean the DRC wrote a linking book there? If not, what does that mean? <br /> (03/09 01:03:12) Aleks: Are all the pod ages zoo type deals?<br /> '''Nick White''': Arthur is the journalist for the group I guess.<br /> (03/09 01:03:41) Gondar laughs <br /> (03/09 01:03:45) Arthur Kalnins: Of course. <br /> (03/09 01:03:46) ireenquench laughs <br /> (03/09 01:03:47) Kedry: Nice to meet you in person. <br /> (03/09 01:03:54) Arthur Kalnins: Many mysteries you guys leave us. <br /> (03/09 01:03:57) K’laamas: Shorah, ireen :) <br /> (03/09 01:04:01) cxevalo: is the perdator a large animal or something small that could be carried by contaminated explores? <br /> (03/09 01:04:05) Arthur Kalnins: My job to try and sort them out.<br /> '''Nick White''': I’d have to see the context there Arthur - I don’t know all of Simpson’s text offhand.<br /> ireenquench: K’laamas! hi!<br /> '''Nick White''': But I don’t think he was referring to us writing a link at all.<br /> Arthur Kalnins: Can the DRC write links?<br /> '''Nick White''': Nope.<br /> '''Nick White''': Not that I know of at least.<br /> Niika: Are we going to be able to access the other pods anytime soon?<br /> '''Nick White''': We aren’t writing Books.<br /> '''Nick White''': Yes.<br /> '''Nick White''': Depending on what you mean by soon<br /> (03/09 01:05:23) Seagull looks at watch <br /> (03/09 01:05:24) Seagull: :) <br /> (03/09 01:05:24) Kedry: So I missed the beginning of the conversation, but does Sharper plan on meeting us today? <br /> (03/09 01:05:25) Aleks: What would you mean by soon? <br /> (03/09 01:05:31) Gondar: Any groups set up trying to find out how to write as opposed to just translation? Or is it language first, advanced stuff later? <br /> (03/09 01:05:42) Aleks: Doesn’t seem so Kedry.<br /> '''Nick White''': Right.<br /> Arthur Kalnins: Context: The rock pinnacle is “The first area since we’ve arrived we were able to save a link” <br /> (03/09 01:05:51) Rils: heyya gang! <br /> (03/09 01:05:53) Kedry: Thanks. <br /> (03/09 01:05:57) Kedry: Rils! <br /> (03/09 01:05:59) Kedry waves <br /> (03/09 01:06:18) ireenquench: Hey Rils <br /> (03/09 01:06:27) Rils waves at all 400 people in the hood <br /> (03/09 01:07:05) Niika: Is Neghilan the DRC’s biggest concern at the moment? <br /> (03/09 01:07:16) Rils: Perhaps I missed it earlier… Nick, what evidence are finding in Negilahn as to why the animals are disappearing?<br /> '''Nick White''': I think there are qutie a few concerns - that’s one of the.<br /> '''Nick White''': them<br /> ireenquench: Rils: Nick mentioned the predator theory again. <br /> (03/09 01:07:59) Gondar: You did miss it Rils. They had the age set up like a zoo, and now without zookeepers the predators are runing wild. Or at least that’s waht I got… <br /> (03/09 01:08:10) Rils: any ideas what the predator is? Big? Microscopic? <br /> (03/09 01:08:21) Arthur Kalnins: Alright.. one last question and I’ll leave you alone. Where is the Ae’gura Aquarium? Where’s the Arch museum for that matter? <br /> (03/09 01:08:29) Seagull: Could it fit through the pod crack? :(<br /> '''Nick White''': Not really… again, hopefully Sharper will give us some more information on the whole Neg thing.<br /> Kedry: When *will* we be seeing Sharper?<br /> '''Nick White''': As far as the musuem and aquarium… confidential Arthur.<br /> Gondar: Aww! <br /> (03/09 01:09:07) Arthur Kalnins starts to laugh<br /> '''Nick White''': Don’t want you storming the place with a video camera.<br /> (03/09 01:09:18) Kedry roars with laughter <br /> (03/09 01:09:20) ireenquench laughs <br /> (03/09 01:09:25) Kedry: Or KICamera! :P <br /> (03/09 01:09:28) Aleks: What about that new age, what it looks like and what the purpose was? Confidential also? <br /> (03/09 01:09:30) Rils: Nick, we also have a whole group of us in the DZS who are willing to help do reaserch on the Negilahn problem! <br /> (03/09 01:09:47) Gondar: Oh! What about the hood game room? Is it that closed door down by the water? Or somewhere we can’t get to at all yet?<br /> '''Nick White''': Looks big.<br /> Niika: Yes. Is there any way the explorer population can help the DRC out?<br /> '''Nick White''': Purpose…maybe training of some kind?<br /> '''Nick White''': Not quite sure yet.<br /> ireenquench: Training? Like marathon running? <br /> (03/09 01:10:47) Aleks: Perhaps another maintaner age? <br /> (03/09 01:11:00) Arthur Kalnins: Well since all my questions got no answers I’ll have to go back on what I said… last question.. Is there any danger presented by the crack in the Negilahn pod? Any signs of what made it?<br /> '''Nick White''': I think just time.<br /> Gondar: Phew! <br /> (03/09 01:11:24) hailahh: Nick, this is going to sound like a dumb question, but… on the surface, we’re jumping early to Daylight Saving Time on Sunday I hear. Seems like we don’t need it down here! but will the cavern go to dst too? <br /> (03/09 01:11:25) Arthur Kalnins: And anything dangerous that could get in?<br /> '''Nick White''': No danger.<br /> Arthur Kalnins: Okay <br /> (03/09 01:11:40) Arthur Kalnins: one for four… not bad :P<br /> '''Nick White''': That is a good question… haven’t really thought about that.<br /> Montgomery: Hey, Nick. Did you guys (DRC) get our Pento letter? <br /> (03/09 01:11:50) Rils: Someone was trapped in there and they had to use the Jaws of Life on the Pod…<br /> '''Nick White''': I supose Laxman would know.<br /> ireenquench: Good to hear, we have some worried explorers among us.<br /> '''Nick White''': Pento letter?<br /> Aleks: Oh, I was wondering, anyy news on the Great Zero? Laxman would probably know more, but have you heard anything?<br /> '''Nick White''': Not sure on that one.<br /> '''Nick White''': Oh man, the Great Zero is a mess.<br /> '''Nick White''': Stuff keeps breaking right when we are about to get it going.<br /> '''Nick White''': If Laxman had any hair, he wouldn’t now.<br /> Rils: blue lasers shooting everywhere… <br /> (03/09 01:13:12) Gondar laughs <br /> (03/09 01:13:19) Gondar: Shoot! He beat me to the line! <br /> (03/09 01:13:24) Aleks: I see. Poor guy. <br /> (03/09 01:13:29) Montgomery: I requested that you be on the receiving list – Cate, Laxman, Kodama, Engberg, Sutherland and you. You didn’t get it? About 2 1/2 weeks ago. <br /> (03/09 01:13:43) ireenquench: Is it the neutrino stuff? the lattice? the Kis? what’s GZs weak points?<br /> '''Nick White''': Yeah, if you want to hear a British person say “Bloody” go hang out with Laxman.<br /> '''Nick White''': KInda fun.<br /> '''Nick White''': Over and over and over and over.<br /> Aleks: haha.<br /> '''Nick White''': Not sure Montgomery.<br /> '''Nick White''': Email?<br /> '''Nick White''': KI Mail?<br /> Gondar: Oooh. Ouch. Hence he’s not about in the caverns I guess.. and the other three are busy prepping ages as well? <br /> (03/09 01:14:33) cxevalo: Nick does the DRC have any plans for establishing better comunications with the exploer comunity? <br /> (03/09 01:14:37) Montgomery: Via D’net. Do you know the DRC’s palns for Pento – it being full of plague and all?<br /> '''Nick White''': I personally haven’t seen that one - sorry.<br /> Nadnerb: um..<br /> '''Nick White''': I don’t know.<br /> Arthur Kalnins: Yes, has the DRC fully checked out both Pento Ages for the plague? <br /> (03/09 01:15:00) Nadnerb: Was he coming tonight?<br /> '''Nick White''': As much as I do know about Sharper, I’m not his secretary.<br /> (03/09 01:15:16) Kedry raises his hand over the crowd <br /> (03/09 01:15:19) ireenquench roars with laughter <br /> (03/09 01:15:24) Nadnerb starts to laugh<br /> '''Nick White''': I said I’d be surprised if he came tonight as he is pretty busy with stuff.<br /> Rils: Is he taking applications?<br /> '''Nick White''': But I don’t know.<br /> Arthur Kalnins: Darn… <br /> (03/09 01:15:33) Nadnerb: busy is good… <br /> (03/09 01:15:39) Kedry: Can you tell us Mr. Sharper’s KI#? <br /> (03/09 01:15:42) Nadnerb: It means things are happening<br /> '''Nick White''': No I can not.<br /> Kedry: Shoot. :P <br /> (03/09 01:16:20) Arthur Kalnins: Nick: Are you still passing out Delins? <br /> (03/09 01:16:23) Dav’on: I wouldn’t think Sharper would want to be constantly pestered by explorers wanting to know things. <br /> (03/09 01:16:44) Kedry: But while we’re at it, what’s your opinion on sharing DRC KI#s in forums?<br /> '''Nick White''': My personal opinion? Seems fine to me.<br /> '''Nick White''': Alright boys and girls.<br /> '''Nick White''': I gotta run.<br /> Gondar: Quick! Start plastering numbers! :-D <br /> (03/09 01:17:19) Arthur Kalnins: Nick, before you leave… <br /> (03/09 01:17:19) Kedry: Thanks! <br /> (03/09 01:17:20) Arthur Kalnins: Are you still passing out Delins? <br /> (03/09 01:17:21) Mystlander goes to throw herself off the classroom roof into the lake <br /> (03/09 01:17:23) Aleks salutes <br /> (03/09 01:17:24) Gondar: Thanks for dropping by Nick! <br /> (03/09 01:17:30) ireenquench: Bye Nick, thanks for stopping by. <br /> (03/09 01:17:33) Kedry: See you around. <br /> (03/09 01:17:33) Dav’on waves goodbye<br /> '''Nick White''': Don’t have any on me.. sorry Arthur.<br /> Gondar: Oooh Delin.. <br /> (03/09 01:17:34) Niika: It was great talking to you Nick :) <br /> (03/09 01:17:34) Aleks: Have a good one. <br /> (03/09 01:17:36) Keera: thanks Nick <br /> (03/09 01:17:38) Arthur Kalnins: Okay, thanks <br /> (03/09 01:17:40) Gondar: Too bad. <br /> (03/09 01:17:41) Montgomery: Nick, sorry to persist, but quite a few of us are very concerned about the possibility of plague coming from Pento – which is on the DRC list. Do you know if it is safe, and the DRC’s plans for Pento? <br /> (03/09 01:17:52) Xanos: Thanks Nick <br /> (03/09 01:17:52) Seagull: Thanks, Nick. :)<br /> '''Nick White''': I wouldn’t worry about the Pento plague....<br /> Nadnerb: bye nick, shorah<br /> '''Nick White''': I think it’ll be fine.<br /> Arthur Kalnins: Have the DRC checked it fully? <br /> (03/09 01:18:36) Kedry: Pento: The new cavern ceiling… :)<br /> '''Nick White''': No.<br /> '''Nick White''': Exactly.<br /> Montgomery: Great, Nick. Thank you – this is the first answer we have been able to get. <br /> (03/09 01:18:50) Gondar: Now how do I make money selling breathing masks to stop the plague? ;-)<br /> '''Nick White''': But that’s why it’s not open to anyone.<br /> tweetie: I hope so, I don’t want to get sick and die before I hit my prime time of life <br /> (03/09 01:19:00) Arthur Kalnins: Ah okay <br /> (03/09 01:19:04) Arthur Kalnins: Good to know.<br /> '''Nick White''': Good point Gondar.<br /> '''Nick White''': Hmmm…<br /> '''Nick White''': Alright, I’m outta here. <br /> [[Category:Uru chat logs]] <!-- Be sure to include any categories for Myst Online episodes as appropriate -->
