* {{event||2007-05-20|9663|1|24|Nick White asks people not to get into the city, out of respect for the rescue effort (and Michael Engberg), and the fact that multiple KI signals may disrupt the attempt to locate the Wheely's KI.}}

=== May 21 ===
* [[Victor Laxman]] manages to remotely activate [[Wheely]]'s [[KI]].
* Wheely is alive and talking to her father over the KI. She reports that her friend [[Rosette]] is dead.
** She and Rosette lied about the crack at the [[Ae'gura library|library]] to distract people so they could investigate the crack at the [[Kahlo Pub]].
** She found herself in a room with [[bahro]] carvings. Her [[Relto]] book was inoperative.
** A bahro touched her Relto book.
** She reported eyes watching her from the darkness and scratching sounds.
** After saying a bahro was coming towards her, Wheely stopped talking for a while.
** Later, she recontacted her father, apparently suffering the symptoms of dehydration.
** At the suggestion of an explorer (Dr. Britcom Mom), Wheely draws the bahro symbol for 'water', which she knew as she had played [[Cyan]]'s [[Myst V: End of Ages]]) in the dirt. The bahro 'takes' the drawing and goes back to watching her. Explorer K'laamas tries to teach her the [[D'ni (language)|D'ni]] phrase to ask for water. 

=== May 22 ===
* The [[Relto page]] for the suns and moons appears in the [[Ae'gura museum|museum]].
* The "lush" [[Relto page]] appears in [[Negilahn]].
* Reports indicate [[Sydney Austin]] damaged her [[Relto]] book and became trapped in [[Kadish Tolesa]]. [[KI]] contact was lost after she attempted to cross one of the support beams in the [[Kadish Tolesa vault|vault]].
* The [[DRC]] continues to dig for [[Wheely]].
** Wheely's KI turns on and she says she fell asleep, is no longer thirsty and the [[bahro]] are still watching her.
** Her KI suddenly reports her as in [[Gahreesen]], [[Kadish Tolesa]] and then [[Relto]], then disappears again. [[Victor Laxman]] insists the signal never moved, however.
** [[Michael Engberg]] links to the above Ages, presumably to search for [[Wheely]]. 
* [[Nick White]] tells explorers of a symbol found on a tree in [[Negilahn]].
** The symbol looks like a percent sign "%".
** The symbol apparently doesn't show up in [[KI]] pictures.
** A similar symbol was found on a wall during the rescue effort.
** He also says that [[Sydney Austin]] was likely just doing a publicity stunt for attention and no harm came to her. 
* [[Nick White]] gets a message from [[Douglas Sharper]] that something is dragging away the [[urwin]] he had been watching.
** Sharper referred to the urwin as "Peggy Sue".
** Sharper has gone off to follow. 
* The [[DRC]] break through to [[Wheely]].
** They lower down a [[Linking Book]]. It is inoperative when it gets there.
** Wheely says the [[bahro]] doesn't like when she draws symbols. It erases them.
** The bahro with her makes a repetitive noise. She finally identifies it as the word "[[Noloben]]". It's getting increasingly agitated.
** As rescue members begin to lower down [[Michael Engberg]], Wheely cries out and then is silent. Michael is pulled out, despite his protests.
** A [[ResEng]] is lowered down instead. He screams to be pulled out and reports that "She's still down there, but ... you don't want to see it."
** [[Michael Engberg]] disappears. The [[DRC]] shuts down the area and falls back to private communications. 
* [[Nick White]] manages to access the private communications channel and reports details to explorers.
** The [[ResEng]] is "a wreck."
** He is too distraught to keep listening to the channel.
** He says [[Douglas Sharper|Sharper]] is late in returning and hurries off to [[Negilahn]] to search for him. 
* [[Marie Sutherland]] addresses explorers.
** She confirms that [[Wheely]] is dead and that the collapse did not kill her.
** She declines to pass along details, out of respect. However, she describes the scene as "horrific".
** She confirms that the bahro symbol they discovered is gone. 

=== May 23 ===
* Memorials and flowers are placed next to the crack. [[Michael Engberg]] sits quietly.
* [[Cate Alexander]] gives a speech to all explorers.
** Cate says that a structural integrity test has revealed no damage to the area, so all barriers are being removed.
** Cate tells explorers to respect Michael because he's grieving.
** Over the next several weeks, there will be investigations into the cause of damage and subsequent events.
** [[Douglas Sharper]] still hasn't been heard from, which Cate is worried about given the events of yesterday. 
* [[Douglas Sharper]] returns and tells explorers of what he saw.
** The predator that attacked the [[urwin]] was in fact a [[bahro]].
** It left the body shredded, but took the head.
** It left an easy trail of blood which Sharper followed. After making his way to the urwin's head, he realized it was a trap. By his count, 30 bahro surrounded him and his [[Relto]] Book stopped working.
** Then another lone bahro appeared, and shortly after, more bahro appeared everywhere, attacking everything. It was a war.
** Sharper was able to link back to Relto when two separate bahro jumped on him to save him. 
* [[Michael Engberg]] wanders through several neighborhoods, obviously distressed, but saying little and not responding to others.
** He goes to the city to sit by the flowers again. He whispers "Watson...", then uses the [[bahro stone]] to travel to the [[Descent]], after which his KI signal disappears. 
* Dr. [[Ikuro Kodama|Kodama]] asks [[explorer]]s if they knew where [[Michael Engberg]] went, because he is missing and isn't answering messages on his [[KI]]. He wonders if anyone can understand Engberg's grief.
* The [[DRC]] sends out a [[KI]] message announcing that [[Michael Engberg]] is missing and ask that any details about him be passed onto them. 

=== May 24 ===
* Cate Alexander sends out a KI message stating that the [[Minkata]] release party later this day will continue as planned.
* A music player appears in the [[Kadish Gallery]], which adds the Gallery music to the Relto [[cannen]].
* Rand Miller visits several [[neighborhood]]s and answers questions.
* The [[Minkata]] book is placed in the library.
