Beneath - An Uru Explorers Journey Through D'ni and its Ages

Quick access to the city was restored today, Dave’s great work got the Nexus working, although access to the Great Zero has been presenting a problem.

The KI is still being worked on, Dave has decided to set up hidden communication stations around the Cavern running on a wireless connection to allow for us to communicate when in D’ni, this solution will not work for the other Ages which is an issue.

We know the DRC ran a similar connection at one point, as evidenced by the “Hood Cam”, shame Victor isn’t around for us to consult with, but I have faith in Davids abilities.

Been busy setting everything up, decided to take a break and head into Ae’gura. Nexus is still down so I had to take an alternative route, using the Bahro Stone in Gira I arrived at the Tokotah Rooftop, I knew the DRC had an alternate way of getting down as there is a wooden ladder up there. Using the ladder to get to the adjacent building then used the rope I had packed to descend into the alleyway.

All very tedious, I think the Nexus and KI needs to be the first thing we get sorted, even if it only had the base functions for Ae’gura access.

For some reason the DRC decided to put the barriers back up, maybe they had anticipated people returning, not that it matters as the barriers failed to stop us from entering closed areas in the past, at least back then you had the chance of being caught by a DRC member, now of course the city is open to us.

The others arrived today, after meeting them on the surface we moved the supplies down to Tehren and started planning what we were going to do next.

I have been moving all the supplies into the hood, as it will serve as a central location of function. The others will be joining me soon, bringing some other equipment needed for our stay here.

The silence of the cavern is immense, for so long there was the sounds of work being made on the areas of the city, of people chatting and running around the city, now all I hear is the gentle “whumping” sound of the fans.

I had first thought it was this silence that was playing with my mind, bumps in the night kind of thing, perhaps I was getting paranoid. I started hearing things, seeing flashes of shadows moving.

As it turns out, I’m no longer alone down here, perhaps I never was to start off with. It’s arrogant of me to think that I would be the only one who would sneak back in after the DRC left.

There are other explorers here.

We knew that it was coming, it finally happened, the Cavern is closed. They have closed off the city, shut down the Nexus.

Pretty much all of the explorers have left the Cavern.

It is arrogant of the DRC to think they can keep us out of the Cavern, as soon as we started coming down it stopped being about them and it became about all of us.

We left the Cavern like everyone else, but we had prepared to return, gathering what we could into our hood. On the surface I gathered some supplies, rope, water food etc. I linked back to Relto with my supplies, my hood book was missing, I must have left it somewhere which is annoying but that wasn’t a problem. There is a Bahro Stone in Gahreesen that Links to a balcony in the hood. Taking my pack with food, water, flashlight and small tool kit I went to the balcony. From there I managed to lower myself down onto the classroom roof then down again into the hood itself, inside the Book room sat a Nexus book.

The Nexus was in active, I shall have to see if David can get some of the base functions up and running to give us transport between the city areas again.
