(07/20 11:50:46) Chat.log started...
(07/20 11:50:57) Logan Marcus: Shorah.
(07/20 11:51:01) Kelsei A.T.:
(07/20 11:56:30) Logan Marcus: Pardon me, Kelsei, but have you seen anyone here today?
(07/20 11:56:43) Kelsei A.T.: not in the last half hour ive been here, no
(07/20 11:56:56) Kelsei A.T.: you're the first to come through.
(07/20 11:57:30) Logan Marcus: Ah. I noticed a message on the imager above, you see.
(07/20 11:57:46) Kelsei A.T.: ...hrm
(07/20 11:58:00) Kelsei A.T.: i swear if its that tally person again...
(07/20 11:58:27) Kelsei A.T.: ....
(07/20 11:59:06) Kelsei A.T.: ...the "returned property" message?
(07/20 11:59:17) Logan Marcus: Yes.
(07/20 11:59:26) Kelsei A.T.: huh, well that explains something I suppose.
(07/20 11:59:31) Logan Marcus: I uh, was wondering about that.
(07/20 11:59:36) Kelsei A.T.: I hadn't checked the imager up here.
(07/20 11:59:45) Kelsei A.T.: thanks for bringing that to my attention...
(07/20 11:59:46) Logan Marcus: The name sounded familiar, is all.
(07/20 11:59:51) Logan Marcus nods his head
(07/20 12:00:03) Kelsei A.T.: yes, that's the girl who posted her hood on the nexus and left a message I think was directed at me.
(07/20 12:00:18) Logan Marcus: She did? What message?
(07/20 12:00:31) Kelsei A.T.: oh, that "Speak to Harlan" message.
(07/20 12:00:39) Kelsei A.T.: honestly, I've left finding that man up to Calum,
(07/20 12:00:50) Logan Marcus: Oh. Harlan... oh you don't know who he is then?
(07/20 12:00:52) Kelsei A.T.: he's got a surprising amount of connections to folks down here.
(07/20 12:00:55) Kelsei A.T.: we have some suspicions,
(07/20 12:01:06) Kelsei A.T.: Calum had an old note in one of his journals from a couple years back
(07/20 12:01:14) Logan Marcus: You do? Who is he?
(07/20 12:01:32) Kelsei A.T.: we're not sure if it's the same Harlan, but Calum's journal mentioned a "Harlan Mason" and his "New Seed" group.
(07/20 12:01:41) Kelsei A.T.: Calum's looking to see if it's the same Harlan or not,
(07/20 12:01:50) Kelsei A.T.: honestly, we won't know for sure. Ami's message only said "Harlan"
(07/20 12:01:54) Kelsei A.T.: no last name.
(07/20 12:01:58) Logan Marcus: Oh. Strange. I have never heard of the... New Seed, did you say?
(07/20 12:02:12) Kelsei A.T.: Yes, "Children of the New Seed" was the full name Calum had written down
(07/20 12:02:22) Logan Marcus: Strange name.
(07/20 12:02:29) Kelsei A.T.: I've heard occasional mention of them, but nothing too concerning.
(07/20 12:02:35) Kelsei A.T.: as far as cult behavior goes they seem harmless.
(07/20 12:02:47) Kelsei A.T.: not the kinds of people who'd go around sabbotaging things, atleast.
(07/20 12:02:50) Logan Marcus: Oh... a cult? Here?
(07/20 12:02:57) Kelsei A.T.: D'ni has a long history of them
(07/20 12:03:01) Logan Marcus considers this.
(07/20 12:03:10) Kelsei A.T.: even the Cathedral Island we've been restoring has its ties to one,
(07/20 12:03:18) Logan Marcus: They're not D'ni, certainly?
(07/20 12:03:28) Kelsei A.T. shrugs
(07/20 12:03:42) Logan Marcus: Hmmm.
(07/20 12:03:46) Kelsei A.T.: i've heard so many theories about folks having D'ni ancestry down here, i couldnt say.
(07/20 12:04:07) Kelsei A.T.: I had my own genetics checked once, on a whim, but nothing came up anomalous.
(07/20 12:04:33) Logan Marcus: Well, I suppose that would be possible. Dr. Tiernan mentioned that there was a amnesiac who has turned out to be ... well, not from here anyway.
(07/20 12:04:40) Kelsei A.T.: ah, yes, Ben.
(07/20 12:04:42) Kelsei A.T.: Poor boy,
(07/20 12:04:47) Kelsei A.T. shakes her head
(07/20 12:04:57) Logan Marcus: Ben. Hm. I wonder, could I meet him sometime?
(07/20 12:05:16) Kelsei A.T.: between the amnesia from the library where we found him, and the fact he's got some strange trauma response to Journey Doors...\
(07/20 12:05:37) Kelsei A.T.: hm? Oh, I'm sure that's possible. Ben comes and goes as he pleases these days now that he's been released from Tenny's care.
(07/20 12:06:11) Kelsei A.T.: i've only managed to catch him once, myself, so far, since he got released.
(07/20 12:06:16) Kelsei A.T.: we went to Teledahn.
(07/20 12:06:19) Logan Marcus: I wonder if I might be able to help him recall things...
(07/20 12:06:29) Kelsei A.T.: we've tried a few things, so far
(07/20 12:06:38) Kelsei A.T.: mostly we've visited the Journey Ages,
(07/20 12:06:44) Logan Marcus: I can speak D'ni, if that helps.
(07/20 12:06:54) Kelsei A.T.: eh, we've had folks try speaking to him with D'ni already,
(07/20 12:06:58) Kelsei A.T.: he didn't react to it.
(07/20 12:07:03) Kelsei A.T.: appreciate the offer, though
(07/20 12:07:30) Logan Marcus: Oh... I suppose that might rule out D'ni as an origin, then.
(07/20 12:07:37) Kelsei A.T.: atleast directly,
(07/20 12:07:46) Kelsei A.T.: it's possible he could be a descendant, though,
(07/20 12:07:58) Kelsei A.T.: if someone survived the fall, made it to the surface...?
(07/20 12:08:02) Logan Marcus tilts his head curiously.
(07/20 12:08:12) Kelsei A.T.: we know Athsheba managed to survive in Naybree,
(07/20 12:08:15) Logan Marcus: Yes... that is possible, isn't it?
(07/20 12:08:17) Kelsei A.T.: before she relocated to Rei'schu,
(07/20 12:08:32) Kelsei A.T.: according to Calum she has a granddaughter who still lives in the age.
(07/20 12:08:41) Kelsei A.T.: same rough age as Ben, so the timing could work.
(07/20 12:09:06) Logan Marcus: Facinating! Actual survivors?
(07/20 12:09:27) Kelsei A.T.: well, we dont know if Athsheba's still alive or not- Calum didn't get a straight answer from the granddaughter,
(07/20 12:09:32) Logan Marcus: I... wasn't aware of this. An actual D'ni woman?
(07/20 12:09:48) Kelsei A.T.: well, the granddaughter's part D'ni, atleast,
(07/20 12:10:05) Logan Marcus: Still... an actual D'ni, alive... it's amazing!
(07/20 12:10:09) Kelsei A.T.: Athsheba herself was only a child during the fall and she lived alone in Naybree for quite a long time
(07/20 12:10:23) Kelsei A.T.: indeed! i'd love to pick the girl's brain regarding anything her grandmother might have said.
(07/20 12:10:42) Logan Marcus: Yes, yes, I'd love an opportunity to talk to her myself.
(07/20 12:10:53) Kelsei A.T.: Calum seemed to think the girl would be more interested in coming to D'ni to 'reconnect' with her ancestry, to some degree.
(07/20 12:11:28) Kelsei A.T.: but that may be something that waits until after negotiations with the locals pulls through.
(07/20 12:11:49) Kelsei A.T.: they're in something of a high polen season in Rei'schu at the moment, and it's a miserable time for everyone, apparently.
(07/20 12:12:02) Logan Marcus: Ah! Perhaps I might be able to help with that expedition, when you do decide to go.
(07/20 12:12:06) Kelsei A.T. nods
(07/20 12:12:16) Kelsei A.T.: Calum has plans to put together a group at some point
(07/20 12:12:26) Kelsei A.T.: we had a vote at the last town hall regarding that,
(07/20 12:12:33) Kelsei A.T.: Calum seemed unnerved after, though.
(07/20 12:12:46) Kelsei A.T.: He said it had something to do with the local wildlife,
(07/20 12:12:57) Logan Marcus: Oh, dangerous wildlife?
(07/20 12:13:03) Kelsei A.T.: It's probably just my own paranoia fearing it's something else...
(07/20 12:13:08) Kelsei A.T.: ah, yeah, giant 'megafauna'
(07/20 12:13:16) Kelsei A.T.: apparently he saw a mountain cat as big as a giraffe
(07/20 12:13:29) Logan Marcus: Yikes!
(07/20 12:13:33) Kelsei A.T.: indeed.
(07/20 12:13:39) Kelsei A.T.: and the granddaughter took it down.
(07/20 12:13:45) Kelsei A.T. shakes her head
(07/20 12:13:49) Logan Marcus: She did? Amazing!
(07/20 12:14:02) Kelsei A.T.: Calum said it was something out of a "Dark Souls Boss Fight"
(07/20 12:14:13) Kelsei A.T.: i've never played but I'm familiar with the archetype
(07/20 12:14:21) Kelsei A.T.: lots of dodge rolling.
(07/20 12:14:30) Logan Marcus: Ah, I see.
(07/20 12:14:47) Kelsei A.T.: an incredible feat to say the least, though.
(07/20 12:15:18) Kelsei A.T.: honestly, if the wildlife is that large, I can see why Calum has his concerns,
(07/20 12:15:30) Kelsei A.T.: but if the locals arent that worried about it I'd think people should be fine to visit...
(07/20 12:15:35) Kelsei A.T.: my bigger concern are the colds,
(07/20 12:15:51) Kelsei A.T.: Calum was waylaid for almost a week due to a local illness he picked up.
(07/20 12:16:00) Kelsei A.T.: idiot went in without a maintainer suit.
(07/20 12:16:23) Kelsei A.T.: until Tenny can fix up a vaccine we'll likely be mandating maintainer suits to prevent disease transfers.
(07/20 12:16:39) Kelsei A.T.: the last thing we want is a Terahnay plague situation,
(07/20 12:16:48) Kelsei A.T.: in either direction.
(07/20 12:17:50) Logan Marcus: Yes, well... there are certainly bugs we know little about down in the ruins here, even. I can't imagine what could be in Ages.
(07/20 12:17:58) Kelsei A.T.: indeed.
(07/20 12:18:13) Logan Marcus: I... suppose it's best for your people, that you're cautious.
(07/20 12:18:23) Kelsei A.T.: it's good for everyone to be cautious.
(07/20 12:18:30) Logan Marcus nods his head
(07/20 12:19:00) Kelsei A.T.: given issues on the surface with such things, I'd like to think we could head off any possibility of mass infections or pandemics.
(07/20 12:19:24) Kelsei A.T.: the last thing we need is to pick up some super bug from an age, and unleash it on an unsuspecting surface civilization.
(07/20 12:19:37) Logan Marcus: Oh... that is wise.
(07/20 12:19:41) Logan Marcus: Very wise.
(07/20 12:19:43) Logan Marcus: Hmm.
(07/20 12:19:50) Kelsei A.T. nods
(07/20 11:50:57) Logan Marcus: Shorah.
(07/20 11:51:01) Kelsei A.T.:

(07/20 11:57:46) Kelsei A.T.: ...hrm
(07/20 11:58:00) Kelsei A.T.: i swear if its that tally person again...
(07/20 11:58:27) Kelsei A.T.: ....
(07/20 11:59:06) Kelsei A.T.: ...the "returned property" message?
(07/20 11:59:17) Logan Marcus: Yes.
(07/20 11:59:26) Kelsei A.T.: huh, well that explains something I suppose.
(07/20 11:59:31) Logan Marcus: I uh, was wondering about that.
(07/20 11:59:36) Kelsei A.T.: I hadn't checked the imager up here.

(07/20 12:00:39) Kelsei A.T.: honestly, I've left finding that man up to Calum,
(07/20 12:00:50) Logan Marcus: Oh. Harlan... oh you don't know who he is then?
(07/20 12:00:52) Kelsei A.T.: he's got a surprising amount of connections to folks down here.

(07/20 12:02:50) Logan Marcus: Oh... a cult? Here?
(07/20 12:02:57) Kelsei A.T.: D'ni has a long history of them
(07/20 12:03:01) Logan Marcus considers this.
(07/20 12:03:10) Kelsei A.T.: even the Cathedral Island we've been restoring has its ties to one,

(07/20 12:06:29) Kelsei A.T.: we've tried a few things, so far
(07/20 12:06:38) Kelsei A.T.: mostly we've visited the Journey Ages,
(07/20 12:06:44) Logan Marcus: I can speak D'ni, if that helps.

(07/20 12:06:58) Kelsei A.T.: he didn't react to it.

(07/20 12:07:30) Logan Marcus: Oh... I suppose that might rule out D'ni as an origin, then.
(07/20 12:07:37) Kelsei A.T.: atleast directly,
(07/20 12:07:46) Kelsei A.T.: it's possible he could be a descendant, though,
(07/20 12:07:58) Kelsei A.T.: if someone survived the fall, made it to the surface...?
(07/20 12:08:02) Logan Marcus tilts his head curiously.

(07/20 12:09:27) Kelsei A.T.: well, we dont know if Athsheba's still alive or not- Calum didn't get a straight answer from the granddaughter,

(07/20 12:11:49) Kelsei A.T.: they're in something of a high polen season in Rei'schu at the moment, and it's a miserable time for everyone, apparently.
(07/20 12:12:02) Logan Marcus: Ah! Perhaps I might be able to help with that expedition, when you do decide to go.
(07/20 12:12:06) Kelsei A.T. nods
(07/20 12:12:16) Kelsei A.T.: Calum has plans to put together a group at some point
(07/20 12:12:26) Kelsei A.T.: we had a vote at the last town hall regarding that,
(07/20 12:12:33) Kelsei A.T.: Calum seemed unnerved after, though.

(07/20 12:13:08) Kelsei A.T.: ah, yeah, giant 'megafauna'
(07/20 12:13:16) Kelsei A.T.: apparently he saw a mountain cat as big as a giraffe
(07/20 12:13:29) Logan Marcus: Yikes!

(07/20 12:13:49) Logan Marcus: She did? Amazing!
(07/20 12:14:02) Kelsei A.T.: Calum said it was something out of a "Dark Souls Boss Fight"
(07/20 12:14:13) Kelsei A.T.: i've never played but I'm familiar with the archetype
(07/20 12:14:21) Kelsei A.T.: lots of dodge rolling.
(07/20 12:14:30) Logan Marcus: Ah, I see.
(07/20 12:14:47) Kelsei A.T.: an incredible feat to say the least, though.
(07/20 12:15:18) Kelsei A.T.: honestly, if the wildlife is that large, I can see why Calum has his concerns,
(07/20 12:15:30) Kelsei A.T.: but if the locals arent that worried about it I'd think people should be fine to visit...
(07/20 12:15:35) Kelsei A.T.: my bigger concern are the colds,
(07/20 12:15:51) Kelsei A.T.: Calum was waylaid for almost a week due to a local illness he picked up.
(07/20 12:16:00) Kelsei A.T.: idiot went in without a maintainer suit.
