Whoa (03/03 18:40:30) Yawni : An actual DRC member. (03/03 18:40:34) Erik: Any news about Negilahn’s creatures? (03/03 18:40:49) Loolee70: oops i have 11 not 16.. and red ones (03/03 18:40:51) Zaphodi: no (03/03 18:41:16) Zaphodi: then you have all what we can find now (03/03 18:41:28) Loolee70: yup (03/03 18:41:44) Loolee70 does a dance (03/03 18:42:00) Zaphodi: i can’t wait GZCMs (03/03 18:42:01) Erik: Is everything alright with Douglas Sharper?
Nick White:
He’s having a meeting with the DRC right now.
Almas:
Cool (03/03 18:42:37) Erik: Okay! (03/03 18:42:43) Yawni : Any idea of what he’ll be doing? (03/03 18:43:17) Yawni : Or is that what the meeting is about? (03/03 18:43:23) Loolee70: the lag is killing me
Nick White:
Not exactly sure.
silverdragonesse:
that’s bad
Nick White:
I think he just wants to make sure everything is cool.
Erik:
okay. :) (03/03 18:44:57) Yawni : Probably not a bad idea. (03/03 18:45:10) Erik: well, I hope we’ll see him soon (03/03 18:45:19) L0RD 0WL waves hello (03/03 18:45:38) Akin: any news with Negilahn?
Nick White:
What kind of news?
Nick White:
Are you lookng for…
Erik:
news about the creatures (03/03 18:46:19) Akin: just any news on whats up with the animals (03/03 18:46:20) Yawni : Are there any projects planned to raise animal pops? (03/03 18:46:25) Zib: Yeah (03/03 18:46:27) ian1: Where’s nick? (03/03 18:46:36) Yawni : In the Museum.
Nick White:
Same old. News doesn’t come that fast on the animals.
Nick White:
I mean population is definitely down.
Nick White:
They are acting weird.
Yawni :
scared? (03/03 18:47:41) Zib: Prolly all the ppl
Nick White:
Yeah.
Nick White:
Skittish.
Yawni :
Ooh! (03/03 18:48:09) Yawni : I have a Q about the viewing windows! (03/03 18:48:09) ian1: Nick, what’s the news on sharper?
Nick White:
They were acting that way before we opened it.
Akin:
have the DRC been outside of the pod?
Nick White:
No Sharper and I had a good talk yesterday. He’s meeting wth the DRC right now.
Yawni :
Are the windows one-way or anything special like that?
Nick White:
Yeah it was made to look at the animals. IT’s something outside the pod that is causing the problems.
Nick White:
Nothing inside.
Zib:
Hmm (03/03 18:49:58) Zib: Bigger animals (03/03 18:49:59) Zib: ? (03/03 18:50:02) ian1: An animal or is it the environment which is causing the problems? (03/03 18:50:20) Akin: are there multiple pods?
Nick White:
Not sure… seems like an animal to me though.
ian1:
Maybe a new species was introduced into the environment by someone.
Nick White shrugs.
Erik:
hmm… I hope we don’t have to fear for extinction, that would make the whole Age redundant
Nick White:
Well it’s a fear… based on the numbers I’ve heard.
ian1:
Is there anything the DRC and do to correct the problem?
Nick White:
We’re trying to figure that out.
Yawni :
Yeah, what can we do? (03/03 18:53:12) Kam Uraki: We could ask Sharper to take us on a hunting party in Negilahn to clear out the extra predators (03/03 18:53:19) Kam Uraki: lol (03/03 18:53:26) Desert Eagle: nick, will the DRC release some kind of documment detailing the workings of the pod and the names of the animals, etc?… (03/03 18:53:31) Zib: damn, im stuck (03/03 18:53:31) ian1: What about the other pod ages? Are they doing better?
Nick White:
That may not be that far from the truth.
Nick White:
We currently don’t have anyone to take interest in animals.
Akin:
has anyone tried bringing fireflies from kemo/gira to negilahn? have them fly out the crack?
Nick White:
To focus on that.
Nick White:
Not sure.
Kam Uraki:
I’m game. Get me a maintainer suit and a rifle. (03/03 18:54:30) Erik: so, Sharper can help out here? (03/03 18:54:31) Eldar Storm: anyone else getting stuck when they try linking to the book? (03/03 18:54:40) Yawni : A big rifle.
Nick White:
Maybe. Al speculation at this point.
Kam Uraki:
Well… he is good at killing things (03/03 18:55:09) ian1: Well, as he’s said, he still hasn’t exactly figured out the cause, just has a hunch (03/03 18:55:14) Kam Uraki: *cough* Shroomie *cough* (03/03 18:55:30) Tandy: Shorah Kam (03/03 18:55:36) Desert Eagle: hey nick… am I right in assuming that Tetsonot and Payiferen are pod ages as well? (03/03 18:55:36) Kam Uraki waves hello
Nick White:
It’s been a long time since you’ve all seen Sharper. He may not be the same guy you remember.
Nick White:
Yeah.
Yawni :
In some respects, I hope not. (03/03 18:55:57) Kam Uraki: Oh no doubt. But he still probably likes to hunt
Nick White:
He feels bad about the way things went down here last time.
Nick White:
I know that.
Yawni :
If an organized hunt is the solution, Sharper is no doubt the most qualified. (03/03 18:56:57) Kam Uraki: Like I said, I’m sure he does. He just happens to be the one who knows the most about wildlife patterns (03/03 18:57:24) Erik: well, I don’t know… is it really safe to go out of the pod.... We don’t want to lose Sharper again, do we? (03/03 18:57:40) Yawni : Does he still visit Africa? (03/03 18:57:42) Kam Uraki: Nick, on a completely unrelated note (03/03 18:58:00) Kam Uraki: Are you a Pink Floyd fan?
Nick White:
I think he went back once between the last time he was down here and now.
Nick White:
Yeah, a bit. Not a huge fan.
Kam Uraki:
;) (03/03 18:58:18) Lexster: Who isnt (03/03 18:58:35) Lexster: i am listening to Dark side right now (03/03 18:58:37) Desert Eagle: hey nick… when do you think sharper will meet us again?
Nick White:
No idea.
Nick White:
Really don’t know.
Kam Uraki:
Okay, now… is Kodama a cyborg?
Nick White laughs.
sil_oh_wet:
Good morning all
Nick White:
Kodama is cool.
Nick White:
Just a little stiff.
Akin:
Nick… any reaction from the DRC about the reported sightings of a portal appearing in the pod every now and then? (03/03 18:59:34) Kam Uraki: lol, that’s like saying Cheney is a little devisive :P (03/03 18:59:34) sil_oh_wet: What did I miss? (03/03 18:59:41) sil_oh_wet: i didnt know anyone was here (03/03 18:59:49) Desert Eagle: hey nick… since you`re a linguist and all, can you tell us if it is possible to translate the names of the ages to our language? like, does negilahn mean something in english?
Nick White:
Not officially. But you know the reaction… there is a lot of strange stuff that goes on down here.
Erik:
yeesha/bahro related I suppose.... (03/03 19:00:48) Erik: the bahro and yeesha seem be everywhere these days…
Nick White:
One sec, got a message here.
Kam Uraki:
So what do you guys know, if anything, about the outside of the pod. What condition is it in… I’ll hold (03/03 19:01:05) Almas: :o (03/03 19:01:22) Yawni : Perhaps Sharper has passed inspection. (03/03 19:01:36) Kam Uraki whistles “The Girl From Iponema” (03/03 19:01:42) sil_oh_wet: Giggle (03/03 19:01:47) Akin: sharper is now safe to link to… (03/03 19:02:02) Desert Eagle: it`s Ipanema kam, not iponema! lol (03/03 19:02:12) sil_oh_wet: Either way its funny (03/03 19:02:18) Kam Uraki: Whatever. I took my best shot (03/03 19:02:59) Kam Uraki: Wanna hear something sad? I heard Purple Haze playing in an elevator the other day (03/03 19:03:08) Kam Uraki: Made me wanna cry. (03/03 19:03:29) Matthew Allen: As long as you didn’t hear Purple Haze in the Kadish elevator, Kam (03/03 19:03:43) Kam Uraki: No, that would have been cool (03/03 19:03:55) Kam Uraki: I meant on the muzak system. (03/03 19:03:56) Almas leans right (03/03 19:04:01) sil_oh_wet: Lol (03/03 19:04:07) Erik: :P (03/03 19:04:10) sil_oh_wet: i wish I had gotten a photo of that (03/03 19:04:23) Akin: the kadish elevator could use some elevator music. (03/03 19:04:27) Almas leans right (03/03 19:04:29) Kam Uraki: Isn’t that a sign of the apocalypse? (03/03 19:04:29) Matthew Allen: i bet Nick is in an overtime payment dispute via KI right now for working on a Saturday (03/03 19:04:35) sil_oh_wet: Do it again
Nick White:
Ok, sorry.
Yawni :
I should hope. (03/03 19:04:45) sil_oh_wet: Oops
Nick White:
Looks like the meeting was late.
Nick White:
Thanks to Engberg.
Nick White:
They are just now starting.
Desert Eagle:
the meeting with sharper? (03/03 19:05:19) Yawni : Way to go, Engberg! (03/03 19:05:20) sil_oh_wet: How long is it expected to last? (03/03 19:05:28) Kam Uraki: Anychance you could get us a live feed? ;)
Nick White:
Negative.
Yawni :
Is it happening in the Tokotah?
Nick White:
No.
Kam Uraki:
lol, was worth a shot (03/03 19:06:02) Matthew Allen: nick’s turning into Kodama
Nick White:
Ha.
(03/03 19:06:10) Almas kneels down… (03/03 19:06:11) Yawni : A cyborg?
Nick White:
A cylon.
Nick White:
Toaster.
sil_oh_wet:
How long is the meeting expected to last? (03/03 19:06:32) Kam Uraki: Ah, a Battlestar fan
Nick White:
Not sure. Just glad everyone is there.
Matthew Allen:
oh come on, if you were a cylon you’d be trying to mate with one of us.. now where’s Heaven again? (03/03 19:06:58) sil_oh_wet: is there a mian ojective for this meeting that you can tell us a little bit about?
Nick White:
Yikes.
sil_oh_wet:
Main objective* (03/03 19:07:14) Kam Uraki: Oh God, it’s turning into a Sci Fi con! (03/03 19:07:25) Akin: anyone wanna try getting 18 people into negilahn… now that we’re all here. (03/03 19:07:30) Poutrew: yeah…never link to the Cylon home world…you’ll never get away.
Nick White:
Sharper left on not great terms. He’s trying to make ammends I guess.
Devokan:
where is everyone?
Nick White:
Make sure everyone is happy.
Kam Uraki:
lol, do you speak Klingon too, Nick?
Nick White:
No.
Erik:
i hope he succeeds… starting with a clean slate (03/03 19:08:00) Gemini: is that how many you need 18?
Nick White:
I only like Battlestar…barely.
Nick White:
That’s all.
Akin:
i dunno… its got the number 18 and everyone still trying to figure it out
Nick White:
Nothing more.
sil_oh_wet:
What do I do with this invite I got to a strange place? (03/03 19:08:27) Kam Uraki: Sorry, couldn’t resist. Anyway, yes many of us remember the tussle between the DRC and SHarper (03/03 19:08:28) Almas: 18*34/567+4 (03/03 19:08:59) Poutrew: Isn’t it up to Cate to let Sharper back in?
Nick White:
The number 18? Well I won the lotery not too long ago and 18 was the …
Kam Uraki:
But people change, especially over the course of a few years. I know I have.
Nick White laughs.
(03/03 19:09:13) Erik starts to laugh (03/03 19:09:22) Almas starts to laugh (03/03 19:09:38) Kam Uraki: I keep trying Hurley’s numbers from lost… no luck yet (03/03 19:09:50) Matthew Allen: i don’t think you want those numbers, Kam (03/03 19:09:52) Akin: yeah.... lets all cram into negilahn and see what happens.
Nick White:
Let’s do it.
Nadnerb:
cool! (03/03 19:10:12) Finn: I’m good at breaking things (03/03 19:10:19) Finn: Would that be of any use? (03/03 19:10:20) Kam Uraki: I can tell you what would happen. Lots of bumping into each other (03/03 19:10:36) Nadnerb: whose neg? (03/03 19:10:42) Desert Eagle: so you`re going to negilahn too, nick? (03/03 19:10:45) Akin: come closer (03/03 19:10:45) sil_oh_wet: We can go to mine
Nick White:
Yeah.
Kam Uraki:
Akins I guess
Nick White:
I’ll go.
[Note: Nick goes with company to Negilahn, but they have some linking problems.]
Nick White:
Alright, well I gotta run…sorry guys. It seems like we have trouble in other parts of the cavern as well.
