City is evacuated.

More damage at the pub. Best resource on that right now is here:

I don't know how people are so efficient in times of crisis like this.

Nick White has returned from Negilahn after he and Sharper received word of the incident.

Sharper is still in Negilahn, alone.

Nick White says he can't go back, Sharper would "kill him."

Some explorers (vid + his friends) have bypassed the nexus security mechanisms to link into the city.

Nick has asked that explorers NOT do this. He added, "It's the wrong way to disagree with the DRC" and "It's the type of thing Syd would do." He has asked that we spread the word.

Also: Show some respect to Michael Engberg in this trying time.

Nick said there's a rumor that keeping explorers out of Ae'gura during a search helps because "It helps with the KI".

Nick has convinced the explorers in the city to leave with the above information (perhaps in more detail than what he's given to the rest of us). I believe vid will be posting a record about this elsewhere at some point.

Thanks for keeping us up to date, Marten. I'm glad to have you down there. I doubt we could get there if we tried.

I wish you could be there MJ. I wish more of you could be there... Yet at the same time it is very frustrating. There is so little we can do, so perhaps it is for the best.

One last detail before I go to sleep for the evening. Nick said he expects excavation work will begin early tomorrow morning. Your guess is as good as mine to the meaning of that.

Don't have much time to talk right now... but woooww!! Shocked

Can't wait (or can...) to link back to the Cavern. Thanks for keeping everyone up-to-date. Hope to meet everyone later today... safely.

Are Bahro still our friends??

Arionel · Posted: Mon May 21, 2007 6:22 am Post subject:

I've had a revelation recently, seriously, that maybe the bahro are NOT what we should be expecting as a welcome race. We should approach them with extreme caution. A former slave race is going to harbor resentment and hatred, even though we may have helpled them. Everybody just be careful.

A ResEng's just confirmed that doing more marker missions will help the search for Wheely!

Durin Mephit · Posted: Mon May 21, 2007 11:44 am Post subject:

That is curious information; as we can't get into the city to run the missions... they must mean to use the instanced cities.

With caution, of course. Smile

Yep, the instanced ones... btw, the big four have just arrived...

Erik · Posted: Mon May 21, 2007 12:53 pm Post subject:

Reporting from the City...

The big 4 + Cate are in the pub. Engberg is trying to communicate with Wheely. It almost makes me wanna cry. "Honey, come on. Answer me. Please. Victor, are you sure this works? She would have responded." And so on.... Rescue teams are trying to remove rock to get to the other side...

Everyone is holding his breath....

Erik · Posted: Mon May 21, 2007 12:57 pm Post subject:

She's alive!!! She finally responded!!! Very Happy

EDIT: Rose is in a bad way... Wheely thinks she's dead... Shocked

Kyven · Posted: Mon May 21, 2007 1:50 pm Post subject:

Wheely says that she and Rose found a cave filled with strange carvings. When she touched one, a Bahro appeared and jumped at her, disabling her Relto book.

Wheely has fallen asleep.

The DRC has reopened Ae'gura.
