(01/03 12:59:37) '''Vortmax:''' Greetings Cate! <br />
(01/03 12:59:38) '''Cate Alexander:''' Hello. <br />
(01/03 12:59:38) '''Eleri:''' How do you do, Cate. Shorah, and welcome <br />
(01/03 12:59:42) '''Vortmax:''' Great to finally meet you at last <br />
(01/03 12:59:47) '''Cate Alexander:''' Eleri, nice to meet you. <br />
(01/03 12:59:51) '''Tweek:''' bonjour, hello, yo and other greetings <br />
(01/03 12:59:52) '''Cate Alexander:''' Vortmax, nice to meet you. <br />
(01/03 12:59:57) Vortmax waves <br />
(01/03 13:00:00) '''Cate Alexander:''' Tweek, the same. <br />
(01/03 13:00:13) '''Cate Alexander:''' There are a couple of more people right? <br />
(01/03 13:00:36) '''Vortmax:''' Yes, but it's unknown whether they will make it. <br />
(01/03 13:00:46) '''Cate Alexander:''' We'll give them a couple of minutes. <br />
(01/03 13:00:46) '''Eleri:''' Gadren and CAGreyWolf <br />
(01/03 13:00:49) '''Vortmax:''' Will Dr. Engberg be joining us? <br />
(01/03 13:00:56) '''Cate Alexander:''' No, he will not. <br />
(01/03 13:01:07) '''Cate Alexander:''' Mr. Engberg. <br />
(01/03 13:01:38) '''Cate Alexander:''' Are things going well? <br />
(01/03 13:01:43) '''Vortmax:''' Heh, I tend to assume all DRC members are doctors. <br />
(01/03 13:01:49) Vortmax nods his head <br />
(01/03 13:01:56) '''Cate Alexander:''' Not all of us - I'm not. <br />
(01/03 13:02:07) '''Vortmax:''' Ah, so you are with the DRC? <br />
(01/03 13:02:11) '''Tweek:''' I'm not a Dr. I just play one on TV <br />
(01/03 13:02:23) '''Cate Alexander:''' Yes. <br />
(01/03 13:02:31) '''Eleri:''' nifty <br />
(01/03 13:02:43) '''Vortmax:''' Oh no! Tweek! <br />
(01/03 13:02:50) '''Eleri:''' Bahro got him again <br />
(01/03 13:02:58) '''Cate Alexander:''' He do that often? <br />
(01/03 13:03:15) '''Vortmax:''' Not usually, no. <br />
(01/03 13:03:20) '''Eleri:''' he's got a twitchy linking book, I think <br />
(01/03 13:03:39) '''Cate Alexander:''' Alright, I was hoping to have all five of you here but it seems we won't. <br />
(01/03 13:03:40) '''Vortmax:''' It must be all the excitement :) <br />
(01/03 13:03:51) '''Eleri:''' Is this your first chance to visit, Cate? <br />
(01/03 13:04:14) '''Cate Alexander:''' Visit the cavern? <br />
(01/03 13:04:33) '''Cate Alexander:''' I've been in the cavern quite a few times. <br />
(01/03 13:04:42) '''Cate Alexander:''' I haven't been to this particular neighborhood. <br />
(01/03 13:04:48) '''Cate Alexander:''' Is Tweek returning? <br />
(01/03 13:04:58) '''Eleri:''' He should be on his way back <br />
(01/03 13:04:58) '''Vortmax:''' I believe he is, as soon as he can Link back <br />
(01/03 13:05:25) '''Cate Alexander:''' Well this won't be extremely formal so maybe we should just get started. <br />
(01/03 13:06:03) '''Vortmax:''' Sure <br />
(01/03 13:06:04) '''Cate Alexander:''' I'm in the process of asessing a variety of areas, groups, protocols, etc... within the structure of the DRC and the liasons somewhat fall into those categories. <br />
(01/03 13:06:05) Eleri says hi to Marie, too, so she doesn't feel forgotten :) <br />
(01/03 13:06:18) '''Eleri:''' sounds interesting. <br />
(01/03 13:06:22) '''Eleri:''' and complicated <br />
(01/03 13:06:22) '''Cate Alexander:''' I'd like to know a little bit more about your group. <br />
(01/03 13:06:50) '''Vortmax:''' Well, as I understand it, we are supposed to be a way to pass information between the DRC and the Explorers <br />
(01/03 13:06:51) '''Cate Alexander:''' What you feel like you are accomplishing - if anything - and your opinion on how you are viewed by other explorers <br />
(01/03 13:06:59) '''Cate Alexander:''' Is that happening? <br />
(01/03 13:07:00) Marie Sutherland smiles at Eleri with a small nod. <br />
(01/03 13:07:12) '''Eleri:''' some. <br />
(01/03 13:07:19) '''Vortmax:''' Not often enough, though since the DRC has been so busy lately, it's understandable. <br />
(01/03 13:07:34) '''Eleri:''' the easiest way for the DRC to get a solid message to everyone now, is through the KI <br />
(01/03 13:07:56) '''Cate Alexander:''' So does that mean your role is not necessary? <br />
(01/03 13:08:16) '''Eleri:''' I think it needs... expanded? <br />
(01/03 13:08:27) '''Cate Alexander:''' Right. <br />
(01/03 13:08:31) '''Vortmax:''' And defined. We still don't have a very clear definition of our role. <br />
(01/03 13:08:46) '''Cate Alexander:''' What ways do you see yourselves expanding? <br />
(01/03 13:08:53) '''Eleri:''' Like, if something happens, like the scream, it's easier to tell us the details, and let us get the word out. <br />
(01/03 13:09:02) '''Eleri:''' that much info won't fit in a KI message <br />
(01/03 13:09:25) '''Cate Alexander:''' My impression is that people would be a little jealous of you having first dibs on important information. <br />
(01/03 13:09:38) '''Cate Alexander:''' Have you found that to be the case or is that wrong? <br />
(01/03 13:09:42) '''Eleri:''' *nod* some people always would be. <br />
(01/03 13:09:59) '''Eleri:''' theres a few groups that have reall issues with supposed power bases <br />
(01/03 13:10:10) '''Cate Alexander:''' Of course, there always will be. <br />
(01/03 13:10:24) '''Cate Alexander:''' And I don't have much time for that. <br />
(01/03 13:10:31) '''Eleri:''' but by and large, as long as we're not hiding info, people have been ok <br />
(01/03 13:10:41) '''Cate Alexander:''' But, at the same time, we want to make sure there is a good reason for the power. <br />
(01/03 13:10:47) '''Eleri:''' exactly. <br />
(01/03 13:11:03) '''Cate Alexander:''' Well, I'm not sure I'm going to have answers for you today. <br />
(01/03 13:11:14) '''Cate Alexander:''' There is a lot to consider... <br />
(01/03 13:11:22) Eleri nods <br />
(01/03 13:11:24) '''Vortmax:''' That implies there will be answers though, and that's good. <br />
(01/03 13:11:30) '''Cate Alexander:''' I will say I think there will be a role for you in the future. <br />
(01/03 13:11:43) '''Anonymous Coward:''' well that was rather annoying <br />
(01/03 13:11:45) '''Cate Alexander:''' But I won't guarantee it. <br />
(01/03 13:11:51) '''Eleri:''' We've talked a little bit about writing down some of the things that have become community standards <br />
(01/03 13:11:53) '''Anonymous Coward:''' oh please say you guys can here me? <br />
(01/03 13:12:14) '''Vortmax:''' I hear you Tweek, though you're on the KI as Anonymous Coward <br />
(01/03 13:12:20) '''Anonymous Coward:''' yeah <br />
(01/03 13:12:31) '''Eleri:''' weird <br />
(01/03 13:12:31) sighs <br />
(01/03 13:12:35) '''Anonymous Coward:''' brb <br />
(01/03 13:12:49) '''Cate Alexander:''' Apparently Tweek has better things to do. : ) <br />
(01/03 13:12:57) '''Vortmax:''' He's trying to fix that KI bug. <br />
(01/03 13:13:10) '''Cate Alexander:''' Regardless, it was a pleasure to meet you all and I hope we can have some answers for you - one way or another - soon. <br />
(01/03 13:13:19) '''Eleri:''' If I may ask, Cate, how did you get involved with the DRC? <br />
(01/03 13:13:46) '''Cate Alexander:''' Long story... I don't have time for that now as I have another event to attend... <br />
(01/03 13:13:50) '''Vortmax:''' And what is your role in the organization? <br />
(01/03 13:13:55) '''Cate Alexander:''' Thank you again and we'll be in contact. <br />
(01/03 13:14:02) '''Cate Alexander:''' Ready Marie? <br />
(01/03 13:14:04) Vortmax thanks you very much! 
(01/03 13:14:10) '''Eleri:''' Any time. Marie has all out KI numbers and emails<br />
