(05/03 20:52:01) Cate Alexander waves hello
(05/03 20:52:12) b'lyn: Hey ireenquench
(05/03 20:52:18) ireenquench: Shorah all
(05/03 20:52:21) Adijike: Shorah
(05/03 20:52:24) rilrov: Hi
(05/03 20:52:39) b'lyn: everyone come in to the auditorium
(05/03 20:52:41) Cate Alexander: I have a quick announcement to make and then I'll take a few questions.
(05/03 20:53:14) zam: shorah
(05/03 20:53:31) Cate Alexander: Nick White is no longer with the DRC. Nick was under strict guildelines while on probation and he broke those rules and our trust.
(05/03 20:54:20) b'lyn: Jatter move please
(05/03 20:54:25) Cate Alexander: We wish Nick the best of luck in whatever he pursues but, unfortunatley, that will not be the restoration of the D'ni civlization with us.
(05/03 20:54:54) Cate Alexander: As to details, I'd rather not get into them but trust that Nick is aware of what he has done wrong and understands our decision.
(05/03 20:54:58) Cate Alexander: That is all.
(05/03 20:55:01) ireenquench wants to ask a question...
(05/03 20:55:03) Cate Alexander: Are there any questions?
(05/03 20:55:08) Cate Alexander: Ireen.
(05/03 20:55:18) Calliope wants to ask a question...
(05/03 20:55:26) Cate Alexander: Calliope.
(05/03 20:55:31) ireenquench: Will Niick be allowed to remein in the cavern privately?
(05/03 20:55:32) Calliope: Do you have another tranlator?
(05/03 20:55:43) darkstar wants to ask a question...
(05/03 20:55:51) Cate Alexander: We have no control on who comes to this cavern.
(05/03 20:55:55) OldGuy: replacement for Nick?
(05/03 20:56:04) darkstar: lol
(05/03 20:56:06) Cate Alexander: We do not yet have another translator and have only started looking for a replacement.
(05/03 20:56:22) Yew Azwell: is this the announcement that Greydragon was going to make yesterday?
(05/03 20:56:33) Cate Alexander: At this point, we will most likely try and make do without him.
(05/03 20:56:41) Kelm: Hey job's reshuffling
(05/03 20:56:42) Cate Alexander: or that position.
(05/03 20:57:05) Kelm: I'am free
(05/03 20:57:06) Cate Alexander: I have no idea what Greydragon's announcement is.
(05/03 20:57:07) Monte71 wants to ask a question...
(05/03 20:57:13) Calliope: There are explorers that have done some studying...
(05/03 20:57:14) Cate Alexander: Monte. Last one.
(05/03 20:57:20) Yew Azwell: perhaps you can put out an appeal to the guild of linquists until you can find a replacement
(05/03 20:57:51) Monte71: sorry why no udates today
(05/03 20:57:54) Cate Alexander: At this point we don't have much need of translation and, in fact, Nick was not doing any translation.
(05/03 20:58:16) darkstar: Are there any plans to change the way the DRC interacts with explorers?
(05/03 20:58:17) Cate Alexander: Toward the end of his stay.
(05/03 20:58:44) Calliope: He did seem to have a lot of time on his hands
(05/03 20:58:47) b'lyn: Will the DRC be sharing more information with us on a more regular basis?
(05/03 20:58:49) Cate Alexander: Darkstar. We have talked about a few things.
(05/03 20:58:56) Tai'lahr wants to ask a question...
(05/03 20:59:06) Cate Alexander: Rather than say yes, like we always seem to say, we'll just have to wait and see.
(05/03 20:59:33) Monte71: thats kind of not a derict answer
(05/03 20:59:52) ireenquench wants to ask a question...
(05/03 20:59:59) Cate Alexander: Ireen.
(05/03 21:00:21) Tai'lahr: Are you familiar with the D'ni Network? They could provide a great communication tool between the DRC & the explorers.
(05/03 21:00:25) ireenquench: Is there concern with the DRC Nick is a safety risk? Shold we report if he seems to be?
(05/03 21:00:29) darkstar: It would seem a good idea to avoid a repeat of issue you have just mentioned
(05/03 21:00:34) Kelm: Would the DRC now consider having a regular spokes person now ?
(05/03 21:00:51) Abel: Please evryone, one question at a time.
(05/03 21:01:01) Tai'lahr wants to ask a question...
(05/03 21:01:06) Cate Alexander: Safety was not the issue with Nick's release.
(05/03 21:01:28) Monte71 wants to ask a question...
(05/03 21:01:29) Cate Alexander: I do have a meeting to get to.
(05/03 21:01:39) Tai'lahr: Are you familiar with the D'ni Network?
(05/03 21:01:55) Cate Alexander: Thanks again for your time. We are familiar with the D'ni Network - yes.
(05/03 21:01:57) Monte71: why are you all dancing around and not give answer that would make everything better
(05/03 21:02:04) Cate Alexander: Good day.
