The Great Tree

Yes, I do actually remember Bahro screeches. I remember that day very well. Phil certainly didn't seem to cry out in terror as he met his doom, but was more puzzled by what happened.

I never knew that aspect of Phil's "last" moments, that he was evidently confused by what happened. It does make perfect sense that the Bahro have something to do with his disappearance, if he was rescued.

I need to begin a line of t-shirts and buttons that say "Where is Phil?" across the front.

And we can make little "Where's Phil-do" books where he is somewhere in a crowd of Explorers wearing a red and white striped hat...

I actually only read that log about a week ago for the first time, I didn't know the event had been recorded. It was very comforting somehow. Although even just reading it I could feel the tension, I can't even believe what it would have been like to be there! I would have probly fallen over in the excitement.

What did they say, they found his KI and nothing else? Peculiar that he'd lose that. Even more peculiar that he'd wander off without his Relto book. But then again, I never knew him, but he seemed a peculiar sort of guy...

Here's to hoping he's ok! It seems the DRC has done as much as the can/are willing to do in this matter, it was unpleasant, but perhaps by-gones should stay that way and hopefully we all learned something about the imporatnce of working together. Only time will tell if he will live physically as he does he does in our memories.

Sorry, Rils, although I appreciate all you've said here, I cannot be so complacent regarding the loss of a fellow explorer and fellow member of the Called. If the DRC ever decides to make themselves public again, I will have some questions for them. I just wrote this at the DRC forum in response to a post by linkerjpatrick:

I've always believed that Phil is alive and I still believe that two years after the accident in the city that he is still alive. Whether he's somewhere down beneath the surface roaming the tunnels, hiding out in the city or another Age or even above surface, my mind has never been changed over that matter. That somewhere he is living and maybe one day he will tell us of that journey and what happened. That's a day I look forward to.

Good post, Rils. And you're right, the DRC has done a lot for the Explorers...in particular, finding and setting up shop in D'ni in the first place!

Believe me when I say that I'm not trying to "restore" any animosity between the DRC and the Great Tree. In fact, before the pullout of February 2004, the GT was working hard at establishing normal relationships with said organization. I'm just hoping this second "opening" of the Cavern (if that is what is happening) has a little more give and take where sharing information is concerned. Some little light shed on Phil's accident would be a step in the right direction.
