(10/15 22:40:42) Jules Lavisham: Ah, hello there Cpt!
(10/15 22:40:55) Jules Lavisham waves hello
(10/15 22:41:02) Cpt.Jericho: Hi Jules
(10/15 22:41:14) Jules Lavisham: Didn't see you link in there. Was engrossed in Kelsei's notes.
(10/15 22:41:48) Cpt.Jericho: I'm easy to to overlook
(10/15 22:41:52) Jules Lavisham: Yes, things starting to fall into place. Been putting together our materials for presentation to the delegation.
(10/15 22:42:05) Jules Lavisham: I don't believe that for a moment.
(10/15 22:42:53) Cpt.Jericho: Don't forget to bring a hankie
(10/15 22:43:33) Jules Lavisham: Well, maintainer suits will be staying on for the most part.
(10/15 22:43:53) Jules Lavisham: Don't want to end up like Calum and be holed up for weeks with an age-specific lurgi.
(10/15 22:44:03) Cpt.Jericho shrugs
(10/15 22:44:10) Cpt.Jericho: Hankies are your friend
(10/15 22:44:31) Jules Lavisham: This is true
(10/15 22:44:43) Cpt.Jericho: It's an ad-hoc bandage, a melee weapon and you can blow your nose into it.
(10/15 22:45:12) Cpt.Jericho: If clean enough it can be used as a white flag
(10/15 22:45:12) Jules Lavisham: Multi-purpose. Like a towel in that regard.
(10/15 22:45:49) Cpt.Jericho: Uhm, I wouldn't start nibbling on a hankie
(10/15 22:45:51) Jules Lavisham: Well, hopefully that purpose won't be necessary. Hoping things remain on a friendly basis with the inhabitants.
(10/15 22:46:16) Cpt.Jericho: Fingers crossed
(10/15 22:46:37) Cpt.Jericho: The chances aren't bad for a friendly encounter
(10/15 22:46:37) Jules Lavisham: They seem a good lot. Very adept at taking down very large beasties with traditional weaponry, from Cal's accounts.
(10/15 22:47:02) Jules Lavisham: He's given us a list of subjects they're interested in as part of a cultural exchange.
(10/15 22:47:21) Jules Lavisham: Food and drink, music, means of relaxation, that sort of thing.
(10/15 22:47:23) Cpt.Jericho: Then bring some bacon with you.
(10/15 22:47:42) Cpt.Jericho: Everything is better with bacon
(10/15 22:47:47) Jules Lavisham: I did hear Dr Murry was planning on bringing some ribs with him
(10/15 22:48:01) Cpt.Jericho: Not a bad choice either
(10/15 22:48:01) Jules Lavisham: We'll certainly be extoling the virtues of bacon, yes
(10/15 22:48:25) Jules Lavisham: Apparently there's something of a domestic livestock shortage in Rei'schu
(10/15 22:48:37) Cpt.Jericho: In a culinary wasteland, bacon is your beacon
(10/15 22:48:51) Jules Lavisham: I'm going to be floating the idea of introducing domestic chicken
(10/15 22:48:55) Jules Lavisham: Pigs as well
(10/15 22:49:14) Cpt.Jericho: I think that is a very bad idea
(10/15 22:49:33) Cpt.Jericho: You never know what impact those have on local fauna and flora
(10/15 22:50:01) Jules Lavisham: This is a concern. We'll be raising all relevant risks with them.
(10/15 22:50:19) Cpt.Jericho: Pigs are smart, when they escape into the wild they get feral very quickly
(10/15 22:50:30) Jules Lavisham: Think the idea is to bring them livestock that can be penned and their numbers regulated.
(10/15 22:50:57) Cpt.Jericho: That was the plan with rabbits in Australia
(10/15 22:51:57) Jules Lavisham: I suspect if a pig WAS to escape I'd fear more for its own safety. The creatures in Rei'schu...
(10/15 22:52:12) Jules Lavisham: well, the word "megafauna" doesn't really do them justice.
(10/15 22:52:24) Cpt.Jericho: Pigs survive bears and wolves
(10/15 22:52:57) Cpt.Jericho: They survived the paleolithic megafauna too
(10/15 22:53:19) Jules Lavisham: It's something that we'll raise at the delegation, they'll have the final word on anything we propose
(10/15 22:54:02) Jules Lavisham: Music's going to be an interesting one as well
(10/15 22:54:12) Cpt.Jericho: Well, I made my case: Don't introduce life animals into an environment hardly known.
(10/15 22:55:15) Jules Lavisham: A reasonable point. I'll be keeping
(10/15 22:55:21) Jules Lavisham: it in mind.
(10/15 22:55:34) Jules Lavisham: Last thing we want is to scupper their ecosystem.
(10/15 22:55:52) Cpt.Jericho: That's why I'm concerned
(10/15 22:56:34) Cpt.Jericho: I don't want to be called to hunt down any runnaway bacon you guys left there.
(10/15 22:56:53) Cpt.Jericho: Though I was on worse mission...
(10/15 22:56:58) Cpt.Jericho: *missions
(10/15 22:57:29) Jules Lavisham: Well, when it comes to hunting apparently the inhabitants are big on that.
(10/15 22:58:01) Jules Lavisham: Reckon you could take down a giant beastie with a hunting spear?
(10/15 22:58:08) Cpt.Jericho: To be honest, it's not hard to track megafauna even in a jungle
(10/15 22:59:03) Cpt.Jericho: I doubt the people of Rei'schu go alone hunting
(10/15 22:59:24) Jules Lavisham: I imagine not
(10/15 23:00:10) Jules Lavisham: You know, we have the delegates of our first meeting locked down, but if it goes well there'll be others.
(10/15 23:00:19) Cpt.Jericho: Remember, paleolithic humans hunted and killed the European megafauna
(10/15 23:00:28) Jules Lavisham: Something you may be interested in being a part of?
(10/15 23:01:12) Cpt.Jericho: I apprechiat ethe offer, but I don't think I will be a good addition to a diplomatic effort
(10/15 23:01:30) Cpt.Jericho: I usually get called when diplomacy failed
(10/15 23:02:44) Jules Lavisham: Well, let us know if you change your mind. We're planning on writing up our account when we're done.
(10/15 23:03:23) Cpt.Jericho: I will
(10/15 23:03:55) Jules Lavisham: Some of the people we meet may be of interest to you.
(10/15 23:04:24) Jules Lavisham: Right, on that note I need to finish off some pellets and head back top. Get some more prep work done.
(10/15 23:04:37) Jules Lavisham: Nice bumping into you, Capt. Don't be a stranger, now.
(10/15 23:04:37) Cpt.Jericho: on't forget the hankie
(10/15 23:04:48) Jules Lavisham: I certainly won't.
(10/15 23:04:53) Cpt.Jericho: See you
(10/15 23:04:58) Jules Lavisham waves goodbye
(10/15 23:05:02) Cpt.Jericho waves goodbye
(10/15 23:05:04) Jules Lavisham: Take care
(10/15 23:05:07) Cpt.Jericho: You too
