(05/21 01:32:26) Hagenn: what sort of upgrades?
(05/21 01:32:27) Victor Laxman: ... We've found that it enables the KI to emit light...
(05/21 01:32:36) Uileag: Oh?
(05/21 01:32:42) ChrisRivadeneira: Take a picture please :)

(05/21 01:32:44) Shana: Ohhh... like a flashlight?
(05/21 01:32:44) Victor Laxman: Our initial repairs have been small...
(05/21 01:32:50) Ieddo leans forward interested
(05/21 01:33:23) Victor Laxman: resulting in only a few seconds of light - but we beleive we can improve it with more time...
(05/21 01:33:43) Arthur Kalnins: Great.
(05/21 01:33:43) Ieddo: :)
(05/21 01:33:52) Hagenn: I hope that doesn't drain the Ki's batteries too much
(05/21 01:33:53) La'Fitte: Enough tiem to make it thru the vaes in gira
(05/21 01:33:55) Shana: That will come in very handy.
(05/21 01:33:55) Ieddo: That wouldnt be good
(05/21 01:34:06) La'Fitte: Caves
(05/21 01:34:07) Arthur Kalnins wants to ask a question...
(05/21 01:34:07) Victor Laxman: So, yes, a bit like a torch or what you call a flashlight.
(05/21 01:34:13) SeanMc74: a flashlight would be useful in Descent
(05/21 01:34:39) La'Fitte: anyword on Sharper and Nicks trip to Negilahn today?
(05/21 01:35:05) Ieddo: whoa, pop spiked. Lagtacular lol.
(05/21 01:35:05) Victor Laxman: The limit in light may be a power limitation. But either way...
(05/21 01:35:34) Victor Laxman: we've decided to release it now, even though it's a bit early.
(05/21 01:35:43) Magus2332: somethin's happenning!!
(05/21 01:35:44) Ieddo smiles

(05/21 01:36:07) Dangerzone: Excellent!!!
(05/21 01:36:13) Magus2332: i don't want to spoil it
(05/21 01:36:20) Arthur Kalnins: Victor, I'd like to bring something to your attention before you leave..
(05/21 01:36:22) Magus2332: I have pics and everything if anyone wants to know
(05/21 01:36:24) Kalana Loesje cheers
(05/21 01:36:24) Victor Laxman: So feel free to upgrade and try it. Limited, but perhaps interesting.
(05/21 01:36:32) ChrisRivadeneira: Where can we get the light?
(05/21 01:36:33) Ieddo: Chev shem Doctor
(05/21 01:36:33) La'Fitte: Where do we upgrade it at
(05/21 01:36:39) SeanMc74: where do we upgrade?
(05/21 01:36:39) Magus2332: wait
(05/21 01:36:40) Dangerzone: Whwere is the terminal?
(05/21 01:36:41) Cassie: Yes, how do we upgrade?
(05/21 01:36:45) Aderyn has wished for a flashlight forever.
(05/21 01:36:50) Magus2332: I just found this!
(05/21 01:36:52) Magus2332: :D
(05/21 01:36:57) Magus2332 cheers
(05/21 01:37:02) Victor Laxman: Would you prefer I reveal the location, or would you prefer to act like explorers?
(05/21 01:37:07) Thend starts to laugh
(05/21 01:37:08) Arthur Kalnins starts to laugh
(05/21 01:37:10) Victor Laxman laughs
(05/21 01:37:11) ChrisRivadeneira: Reveal :)
(05/21 01:37:16) La'Fitte: Rofl
(05/21 01:37:16) Magus2332: this is the KI right?
(05/21 01:37:17) [ Mister Cloak ] wants to ask a question...
(05/21 01:37:17) Scalawag: lol
(05/21 01:37:17) Ieddo: Personally I would like to explore.
(05/21 01:37:18) Uileag laughs
(05/21 01:37:19) Arthur Kalnins: ACT LIKE EXPLORERS.
(05/21 01:37:19) Inanna: whisper it to me
(05/21 01:37:19) Scalawag laughs
(05/21 01:37:21) aras: please

(05/21 01:37:24) Cassie: lol, us explorers??
(05/21 01:37:25) La'Fitte: Thats all you had to say doctor
(05/21 01:37:27) Ieddo: Its up to the majority I thinks
(05/21 01:37:29) Shorahmin: no let us explor
(05/21 01:37:31) ChrisRivadeneira: Could you give us a hint
(05/21 01:37:40) Cassie: No! no hints!
(05/21 01:37:45) Dangerzone: Yes... just a hint will suffice
(05/21 01:37:45) Cassie: We'll find it :)
(05/21 01:37:45) Shorahmin covers his ears
(05/21 01:37:45) La'Fitte: How about one of the ki machines
(05/21 01:37:47) waterhand (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
(05/21 01:37:48) ChrisRivadeneira: Please one hint :)
(05/21 01:37:59) Simon_Bitdiddle: OMGSPOILERS!
(05/21 01:37:59) Shana puts her fingers in her ears to stop any spoilery.
(05/21 01:37:59) Scalawag: yea, hint
(05/21 01:38:02) Arthur Kalnins: Come on, there's only a couple of KI machines.
(05/21 01:38:03) [ Mister Cloak ]: please no hints
(05/21 01:38:06) Victor Laxman: A hint then... uh... hmmmm...
(05/21 01:38:07) Arthur Kalnins: You guys weill find it
(05/21 01:38:08) La'Fitte: so why is your journal laying on the floor in the descent?
(05/21 01:38:09) Shiloh wants to ask a question...
(05/21 01:38:11) Cassie plugs her ears and closes her eyes
(05/21 01:38:12) Uileag: We're here to explore, aren't we?
(05/21 01:38:13) Ieddo puts fingers in ears
(05/21 01:38:18) Arthur Kalnins: Fitte, that's Watson's
(05/21 01:38:19) ChrisRivadeneira: Oh boy a Hint :)
(05/21 01:38:24) La'Fitte: Sorry
(05/21 01:38:31) Arthur Kalnins: not Mr. Laxman's
(05/21 01:38:41) Victor Laxman: If you don't want the hint you might want to link out now.
(05/21 01:38:41) La'Fitte: Watson, laxman
(05/21 01:38:41) Tone Low does a dance
(05/21 01:38:45) Al'Kaera cheers
(05/21 01:38:58) Arthur Kalnins: Victor, there's something urgent the Council should look into
(05/21 01:39:03) Cassie can't resist
(05/21 01:39:23) Ieddo links out
(05/21 01:39:23) Victor Laxman: This is a bit of fun isn't it...
(05/21 01:39:32) Cassie: :)
(05/21 01:39:35) Scalawag: sure is
(05/21 01:39:35) Shorahmin: indeed
(05/21 01:39:48) Inanna: waiting
(05/21 01:39:48) ChrisRivadeneira is so excited about the hint.
(05/21 01:39:58) Tai'lahr: Oh, he has a sense of humor!
(05/21 01:39:58) Hagenn: we do get a bit eager
(05/21 01:40:17) ORBAT: depends on how you define "fun" mr. Laxman
(05/21 01:40:18) DaveRamos does the robot
(05/21 01:40:19) Scalawag: very hard to be patient ;)
(05/21 01:40:19) Victor Laxman: Okay... well the minimal hint is that it's one of the KI devices that was previously not functioning.
(05/21 01:40:20) ChrisRivadeneira laughs
(05/21 01:40:49) Inanna: we need the Delins books returned
(05/21 01:40:49) Cassie notices Chris breaking out into a sweat
(05/21 01:41:05) Inanna: my bevin has doors to open
(05/21 01:41:05) Shorahmin: pant-pant-pant
(05/21 01:41:05) Aderyn: Aha!
(05/21 01:41:06) Shiloh: Level with us. You're mentally going "Dance, puppets! Dance!"
(05/21 01:41:06) Cassie: Ooohhhhh!
(05/21 01:41:07) La'Fitte: Is it available now
(05/21 01:41:07) ChrisRivadeneira: hmmm
(05/21 01:41:12) Uileag: ROFL Shiloh.
(05/21 01:41:12) Thend: Of course he has a sense of humor, Tailahr, the DRC are a wacky bunch
(05/21 01:41:12) Magus2332: what does this update do?
(05/21 01:41:13) Jinglish: Great hint!
(05/21 01:41:13) Hagenn: that's a better question... how DO you turn it on?
(05/21 01:41:14) ChrisRivadeneira: or is it not upto us to turn on
(05/21 01:41:14) ChrisRivadeneira does a dance
(05/21 01:41:14) Magus2332: I found it before I even knew you guys turned it on
(05/21 01:41:23) ChrisRivadeneira: How do we turn it on the upgrade that is
(05/21 01:41:41) Jinglish: Does this change the way the KI appears in full display mode?
(05/21 01:41:41) Victor Laxman: Is that enough of a hint? I suppose you can all find it now.
(05/21 01:41:42) Shiloh: Plenty.
(05/21 01:41:52) Sienna: It's more than enough.
(05/21 01:41:55) Cassie: Great hint, thanks!
(05/21 01:43:01) Shana: Should be plenty, Mr. Laxman. Thank you!
(05/21 01:43:02) Kerryth: Is it safe to try the machines then?
(05/21 01:43:02) moirajane: perfect
(05/21 01:43:02) ChrisRivadeneira: I must leave :(
(05/21 01:43:10) Victor Laxman: We didn't turn it on, we fixed it.
(05/21 01:43:16) Simon_Bitdiddle: Mr. Laxman, can I ask a question before you leave?
(05/21 01:43:16) Magus2332: i don't see a difference on my ki and I just found the upgrade
(05/21 01:43:16) ChrisRivadeneira: Nice to meet you Victor Laxman
(05/21 01:43:16) Shiloh: May I ask an unrelated question, Mr. Laxman?
(05/21 01:43:20) Hagenn: we mean, how do you turn the light on, once we have it?
(05/21 01:43:20) La'Fitte: Tht wasnt a hint, that was a spoiler
(05/21 01:43:20) Victor Laxman: Should be safe to use the formentioned KI device.
(05/21 01:43:20) La'Fitte: Lol
(05/21 01:43:30) Victor Laxman: None of us have lost any fingers yet.
(05/21 01:43:52) Kerryth: :)
(05/21 01:43:57) Thend: Dr Laxman, do you know, is Wheely and her friend okay?
(05/21 01:43:57) Uileag: And thumbs are intact as well? LOL
(05/21 01:43:57) Al'Kaera: Thanks Shana, no pic. lag is GOOD, lag is GOOD.
(05/21 01:43:57) Shiloh: In case you do...who is the DRC's Chief Medical Officer?
(05/21 01:43:57) Shana: Good point, Uileag.
(05/21 01:43:57) Tai'lahr: fingers?
(05/21 01:44:01) Victor Laxman: Wheely Engberg?
(05/21 01:45:41) Thend: Wheely and her friend went missing very recently, and we are concerned
(05/21 01:45:46) Thend nods his head
(05/21 01:45:46) Cassie: 1
(05/21 01:45:46) Shiloh: I'd really like to know who to coordinate with. Me and the other medical people in the Cavern.
(05/21 01:45:47) Shorahmin: yes
(05/21 01:45:47) Jinglish: IS there any word on Sharper and Nick?
(05/21 01:45:52) La'Fitte: dr. Laxman, do you know of the status of the Sharper and Nick White trip today
(05/21 01:46:07) Victor Laxman: What do you mean missing. I saw her this morning.
(05/21 01:45:59) Thend: We don't know
(05/21 01:46:32) Heaven: Wheely and Rosette went off-KI. That doesn't mean they are missing! ... sheesh
(05/21 01:46:53) Carl Palmner: No one could find her either.
(05/21 01:46:53) Victor Laxman: The DRC KIs can be switched off, and she got a DRC KI upgrade from her father I'm sure.
(05/21 01:46:54) Thend: They were keeping a fair amount of contact before then
(05/21 01:47:15) Thend: Still concerned, if you could look into it and report back, that'd be great
(05/21 01:47:17) Frisky Badger: I haven't said anything for a while, I must be missing too
(05/21 01:47:22) Tai'lahr: But, if it happened suddenly...
(05/21 01:47:39) Carl Palmner: It was sudden, and right after she said she found a new crack.
(05/21 01:47:44) Carl Palmner: That's why we're worried.
(05/21 01:47:47) Victor Laxman: Don't know why they would have turned off their KIs, but teenage girls have minds of their own.
(05/21 01:47:47) Carl Palmner: The context.
(05/21 01:48:02) Tai'lahr: Ooo, not good!
(05/21 01:48:10) Carl Palmner: I heard the Bahro screams are louder there now too.
(05/21 01:48:23) Thend: True, they just seemed like they intended to hang around longer than just blinking out like that
(05/21 01:48:24) Heaven: Doctor! Please tell us of the progress in the Great Zero
(05/21 01:48:27) Victor Laxman: I'll tell Douglas, just in case. I'm sure everything is fine.
(05/21 01:48:47) Inanna: where is Nick White?
(05/21 01:48:49) Hagenn: With the number of new cracks being found, I'm wondering if a full Cave inspection is in order.
(05/21 01:48:59) Thend: You mean Engberg? Cool, thanks
(05/21 01:49:02) Tai'lahr: Why would you tell Sharper?
(05/21 01:49:11) Victor Laxman: The Great Zero is going well - calibration that is - thanks to your help with the Markers.
(05/21 01:49:20) Inanna bows
(05/21 01:49:28) Victor Laxman: Michael
(05/21 01:49:29) From Budgie2 in Guild Of Greeters's Bevin: Speculation...is wheely missing in library, is cavern safe, gz calibration going well
(05/21 01:49:35) Thend nods his head
(05/21 01:49:36) Robert The Rebuilder wants to ask a question...
(05/21 01:49:39) Scalawag cheers
(05/21 01:49:43) Heaven: When will it be fully functional, Mr. Laxman?
(05/21 01:49:53) Victor Laxman: I'm getting a bit senile in my old age.
(05/21 01:49:58) Monkeyboy: Victor, What is the next project for you?
(05/21 01:50:06) Thend: Heh, aren't we all? lol
(05/21 01:50:27) Heaven: Nope, Thend
(05/21 01:50:34) Victor Laxman: More work on the Great Zero. I'd like to finish that up.
(05/21 01:50:49) Carl Palmner: lagoriffic here
(05/21 01:50:52) Heaven: Me too!
(05/21 01:51:06) Robert The Rebuilder: Pardon me, Mr. Laxman, but what is the expected availability date of the Maintainer Wall?
(05/21 01:51:06) Hagenn: Indeed. Love to see the Great Zero move!
(05/21 01:51:07) Heaven: How can we help?
(05/21 01:51:07) La'Fitte: Percentage wise how far along is the calibration?
(05/21 01:51:08) Victor Laxman: And then of course the Ki light that I just mentioned. It would be nice to get a bit more power / time.
(05/21 01:51:19) Jinglish: We all want to help...in any way we can
(05/21 01:51:25) Shiloh wants to ask a question...
(05/21 01:51:25) Carl Palmner: Oh yeah! Which ResEng got injured on the wall?
(05/21 01:51:36) Carl Palmner: KI light?
(05/21 01:51:58) Victor Laxman: Calibration is getting close to 20% by my estimates.
(05/21 01:52:10) From Budgie2 in Guild Of Greeters's Bevin: Gz close to 20%
(05/21 01:52:11) Heaven: We need something to do, or we might all end up in the Pub smoking the crack!
(05/21 01:52:13) Hagenn: excellent!~
(05/21 01:52:16) La'Fitte: Very good dr. thanks
(05/21 01:52:19) nemesis256: Check your KI Mail about the light :)
(05/21 01:52:26) Thend: What does calibration do again exactly and why is it important?
(05/21 01:52:34) Simon_Bitdiddle: Is the GZ going to be detectable outside the cavern?
(05/21 01:52:57) Heaven: Ask TomTom, not VicVic
(05/21 01:52:58) Sanzo: Excuse me, I was just wondering if anyone would help mw out with the eder delim and tsogal ages
(05/21 01:53:14) Sparkee: can the new music players for the relto have new music?
(05/21 01:53:14) Victor Laxman: The calibration provides accurate location readings on your KI.
(05/21 01:53:18) Carl Palmner: In this lag I can't check my typing much less my KImail :( sorry for the ooc
(05/21 01:53:22) Thend: Thank you
(05/21 01:53:32) Shiloh: I'm sorry, if I'm coming across as a nag on this, but does the DRC have a Chief Medical Officer or the equivalent thereof?
(05/21 01:53:37) Victor Laxman: Which would be very useful for everyone, including the DRC.
(05/21 01:53:50) Heaven nods her head
(05/21 01:53:53) La'Fitte: Why was the Great zero line moved in the past? and then moved again. What purpose did that serve
(05/21 01:54:03) Robert The Rebuilder wants to ask a question...
(05/21 01:54:03) Carl Palmner: But what happens when the bar in the Great Zero reaches the top?
(05/21 01:54:32) Heaven: We win!
(05/21 01:54:40) Monkeyboy: Can you track people well with the KI? ONce the GZ is up?
(05/21 01:54:40) Tai'lahr: I would like to know more about the ResEng who was injured on the wall.
(05/21 01:54:42) Victor Laxman: When the bar reaches the top, the Great Zero should be calibrated.
(05/21 01:54:55) Carl Palmner: And that does what?
(05/21 01:55:05) BIG thumbs up from Heaven
(05/21 01:55:05) Simon_Bitdiddle: Free cookies for all!
(05/21 01:55:13) Carl Palmner: I think thats what Thend wa actually asking?
(05/21 01:55:38) Victor Laxman: The injured ResEng is fine - just a sprained ankle.
(05/21 01:55:43) Heaven: As Martha would say, "It's a GOOD thing"
(05/21 01:55:56) Robert The Rebuilder: Mr. Laxman, when is the expected availability date of the Maintainer Wall?
(05/21 01:55:59) Al'Kaera: Sanzo, the subjects from Mr. Laxman are way more important that relto rocks from Delin and Tsogal right now. :) )
(05/21 01:56:46) URU U.: What is the most important thing you want us to know now?
(05/21 01:56:52) Victor Laxman: We're looking into the missing Delin books. That one is a mystery to us as well.
(05/21 01:57:14) Sparkee wants to ask a question...
(05/21 01:57:19) Niika: Do you think the bahro are involved?
