Reference:2006-12-25 Marie Sutherland's Christmas Ae'gura visit

---

BrettM: Up a bit early, aren't you?
Marie Sutherland: Working late, actually.
BrettM: Maybe on the Gallery doors?
Marie Sutherland: I believe Michael Enberg is working on the Gallery Doors.
BrettM: Ah. I noticed you visited Kadish Tolesa.
Abjab: Hello Doc S. Do I get in ther fron the roof Jump ?
BrettM: I don't think that's DRC approved.
Marie Sutherland: Definitely not DRC approved. :D
Roger Telco: that will be great when it happens. always wanted to see that open from city.
BrettM: Yes, an exciting prospect.
Marie Sutherland: Well, I just wanted to say hi and wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
Hitana: have a nice christmas day
Roger Telco: you too Doctor S.
BrettM: Thank you. Don't work too late. Relax a bit.
Roger Telco: there is a mike and podium over near tent ... will the DRC be able to use that for meetings some day?
Marie Sutherland: Roger, yes, that was the plan several years ago. I'm not sure if they still work. Maybe we'll get a chance to try them in the near future.
Hitana: hello marie!
Marie Sutherland: Hello, Hitana
Hitana: something new for us explorers :)
Marie Sutherland: Um.... Hmm... I'm too tired to be clever. :D
Hitana: hehe
BrettM: We appreciate having the imagers back, anyway.
Marie Sutherland: I'm glad that Victor got them ready
Roger Telco: we don't mean to ambush you ... thanks for your hard work
Marie Sutherland: You're very welcome. Thank you all for your patience.
Hitana: yes everything new is nice, just if its a little thing
Roger Telco: btw it is good to see the reseng tours so well attended
BrettM: Yes, that is a great outreach program!
Marie Sutherland: I've heard good things about the tours, and heard a few comments from hecklers.
BrettM: Even many of the experienced explorers have been attending.
Roger Telco: ?
Marie Sutherland: Nothing tragic, but we'll probably have to set some guidelines at some point... So that the tours are available to those who need them most.
BrettM: Guidelines for what? Oh.
Marie Sutherland: I only heard something from someone who heard something from someone who heard something from one of the resEngs
Hitana: hmm...
Marie Sutherland: So we need to look into it more and find out what actually happened.
Roger Telco: Dr S., I am a bit worried about scalability of Ae'gura -- several times we have filled up to 40 people and others cannot get in.
Marie Sutherland: All in good time, Roger.
Roger Telco: Just mentioning it for DRC to think about, I fear the very popularity of Aegura will be an issue.
BrettM: More traffic seems to be going to the hoods these days, as they get established. We had a great party in UO hood tonight.
Marie Sutherland: As it should be, BrettM :D
Roger Telco: Yes, both the GoG and Beginner hoods have been busy the last couple of days.
BrettM: Once there are more attractions in the hoods, like heek, that should help.
Marie Sutherland: Yes, and once more areas of the city are open again, I'm sure Victor will be tweaking the... settings in the nexus.
Hitana: may you say something about this downloading thing marie?
BrettM: Yes, can Mr. Laxman get that cleared out of the lattice?
Marie Sutherland: Victor is aware of the "Downloading" issue, but has more important things on his plate.
Arreaon: shorah all. So i've never been so the Ferry Terminal before
Marie Sutherland: Welcome to Ae'gura then, Arreaon.
Arreaon: Ae-gura. Nice name... Pretty. Who hasn't finished the first four ages after the Cleft. I have Teledahn and the Eder's finsihed
BrettM: I'm sure he still has many aftereffects to deal with from the 19th.
Marie Sutherland: BrettM, Indeed he does, as do we all.
Arreaon: I am buddies with Brett
Hoe KanDat: Sorry if this has been asked (just fell in) but any news on when more of the city wille beopened
Marie Sutherland: Hoe KanDat, no new news. We hope to have more areas open in the not too distant future.
Hoe KanDat: Thanks, btw like your idea of opening the Kadish Gallery doors ...
Hitana: yeah thats a good one!
Arreaon: "not too distant" meaning what? a week...a month...a year
Marie Sutherland: Arreaon, I don't have a specific time frame to give. Whenever it's ready.
Arreaon: Okay
Marie Sutherland: Hello, Curty.
Hoe KanDat: Would like to help investigate this instance thing Mr. Laxman talked about in that way
Marie Sutherland: Hoe KanDat, we are hoping to have the Gallery doors open later this week.
Kai-Uwe: Great!
Arreaon: What does DRC stand for
BrettM: D'ni Restoration Council.
Arreaon: Aha. Thanks for that. As you can tell im kinda new. I also have 10,000 years of D'ni history to catch up...or at least Brett tells me so. Haha
Aleks: Welcome Arreaon.
Marie Sutherland: it's great to have new people down here again. :D
Curty: Marie, are you a friend of Victor Laxman? Sorry, I'm new as well
Hitana: you dont have to be sorry for that
Marie Sutherland: Victor and I work together. We've known each other many years now. :)
Curty: Oh I see. i'm starting to finally understand more
Arreaon: Im off to finish another age...should i got to Gahressen or the other one that is not Teledahn or the Eder's
Hitana: gahreesen if you search for an easy one
Arreaon: Haha. Yeah. Okay. Bye all...
Marie Sutherland: Bye, Arreaon. Nice to meet you.
Arreaon: Nice to meet you too
Hoe KanDat: Miss( Mrs?) Sutherland, do you know a person named Bishop by the way?
Marie Sutherland: Hoe KanDat, I don't recognize the name, sorry.
BrettM: Yes, a very strange person calling himself "Bishop" has been seeking Dr. Kodama.
Marie Sutherland: I will let Dr. Kodama know, the next time I see him.
Hitana: say engberg thx for the santas hats
BrettM: And the tree and menorah!
Marie Sutherland: I will do that.
Hoe KanDat: Just hope we don't have to return them after the holidays .. like to keep it in my closet
Marie Sutherland: I think Engberg brough for you to keep them.
Hitana: thats nice
Marie Sutherland yawns
BrettM: We don't want to keep you from your rest, Dr.
Hitana: its getting late for you dr. sutherland
Roger Telco: thanks for coming over to chat to us
Aleks: Yes, much appreciated.
Marie Sutherland: sorry, I think Enberg brought enough for you to keep them. You're welcome. Have a merry Christmas.
