(07/07 16:45:44) Kelsei A.T.: oh frick
(07/07 16:46:00) Kelsei A.T.: Mita was on the imager here, last night
(07/07 16:46:05) Kelsei A.T.: last name on the list before i arrived,
(07/07 16:46:18) Kelsei A.T.: i think it's been shoved off now.
(07/07 16:46:22) Kelsei A.T.: or, about to
(07/07 16:46:24) Kelsei A.T.: if it updates
(07/07 16:46:29) Jules Lavisham: Uh oh.
(07/07 16:46:51) Kelsei A.T. makes a note of the time... 5:54 pm...
(07/07 16:47:10) Kelsei A.T. checks her notes...
(07/07 16:47:16) Kelsei A.T.: he was in Ami's hood at 5:50,
(07/07 16:48:19) Kelsei A.T. sighs
(07/07 16:48:32) Kelsei A.T.: it's impossible to tell if anyone was in the pub before Mita was now,
(07/07 16:48:37) Kelsei A.T.: their names have been shoved off the list.
(07/07 16:48:47) Dni_seeker 5: ARGH!!!
(07/07 16:48:58) Kelsei A.T.: i wonder...
(07/07 16:49:06) Kelsei A.T. checks the supply room...
(07/07 16:49:18) Kelsei A.T.: crate crowbar's missing.
(07/07 16:49:25) Dni_seeker 5: THIEF!
(07/07 16:49:35) Kelsei A.T.: i guess we know how the hood book room doors were opened
(07/07 16:49:40) Jules Lavisham: Well, that can't be good.
(07/07 16:49:47) Kelsei A.T. sighs
(07/07 16:49:56) Player added.
(07/07 16:50:01) Dni_seeker 5: Mita must have chased Ami here
(07/07 16:50:10) Jules Lavisham leans against the counter
(07/07 16:50:11) Kelsei A.T.: either that, or he came here for the crowbar to open the doors,
(07/07 16:50:51) Dni_seeker 5: oh... But wouldn't he need access to a Nexus Book?
(07/07 16:50:51) Kelsei A.T. sets about making herself a hot chocolate to cool her nerves
(07/07 16:51:08) Kelsei A.T.: if he had a Relto, he'd probably use it,
(07/07 16:51:16) Jules Lavisham: Hmm, let me see...
(07/07 16:51:29) Jules Lavisham rummages amongst the crates
(07/07 16:51:35) Kelsei A.T.: after all, he'd need the Nexus to get to Ami's hood regardless,
(07/07 16:51:37) Jules Lavisham: Aha!
(07/07 16:51:40) Kelsei A.T.: hm?
(07/07 16:51:48) Kelsei A.T.: find something, Jules?
(07/07 16:51:50) Jules Lavisham retrieves a bottle of Gordons Gin
(07/07 16:51:53) Kelsei A.T. starts to laugh
(07/07 16:52:19) Jules Lavisham: Nkeiru's having another stab at getting me onto the stuff
(07/07 16:52:23) Kelsei A.T. waves bye to Maurus
(07/07 16:52:45) Jules Lavisham: To be fair, her home-made Bramble Gin she gave me at New Year's was *exceptional*
(07/07 16:52:50) Dni_seeker 5: Wait a second, he COULDN'T have done that, because his name was only on the image ONCE.
(07/07 16:52:51) Kelsei A.T.:

(07/07 16:53:01) Kelsei A.T. stares...
(07/07 16:53:03) Kelsei A.T.: you're right.
(07/07 16:53:14) Jules Lavisham: Give that man a coconut!
(07/07 16:53:30) Kelsei A.T.: that's... concerning.
(07/07 16:53:42) Kelsei A.T.: he very well may have chased Ami here then,
(07/07 16:53:55) Jules Lavisham pours the gin into the glass and takes a sip
(07/07 16:54:03) Kelsei A.T. fetches her hot chocolate...
(07/07 16:54:10) Dni_seeker 5: And then he picked up the bar to use as a weapon!
(07/07 16:54:16) Kelsei A.T. takes a long sip
(07/07 16:54:26) Kelsei A.T.: potentially,
(07/07 16:54:36) Kelsei A.T.: ...maybe he broke whatever tool he had forcing open the hood doors?
(07/07 16:54:40) Jules Lavisham: Gyagh... we need to discover the Tonic age, clearly.
(07/07 16:55:07) Jules Lavisham: Hmm, D'ni distillery age. Now THERE'S a place I'd love to host some guided tours personally.
(07/07 16:55:16) Kelsei A.T. shakes her head
(07/07 16:55:27) Kelsei A.T.: not me, personally.
(07/07 16:55:39) Kelsei A.T.: i've been, once, to Coors.
(07/07 16:55:43) Kelsei A.T.: area smelled horrid to me,
(07/07 16:55:53) Kelsei A.T.: couldnt understand my family's appreciation for it.
(07/07 16:56:13) Jules Lavisham: Reasonable.
(07/07 16:56:33) Kelsei A.T. sips at her hot chocolate some more
(07/07 16:57:15) Jules Lavisham: So... whatever this group is,
(07/07 16:57:30) Jules Lavisham: there's every indication they've started to fracture.
(07/07 16:57:34) Kelsei A.T.: ageed
(07/07 16:57:46) Kelsei A.T.: S/ami alone provides proof of that,
(07/07 16:57:54) Kelsei A.T.: their inconsistent actions, too...
(07/07 16:58:13) Kelsei A.T.: Tally shoving DS5 over when up to that point they'd maintained to what basically amounted to 'pranks'?
(07/07 16:58:24) Kelsei A.T.: and then reverting to a very foul, headache causing chemical after?
(07/07 16:58:40) Jules Lavisham: These kinds of groups often fall victim to infighting.
(07/07 16:58:45) Kelsei A.T.: indeed,
(07/07 16:58:47) Dni_seeker 5: That chemical brings up a question...
(07/07 16:59:03) Kelsei A.T.: plus, there's the way they applied that chemical, too
(07/07 16:59:03) Dni_seeker 5: where did the chemical COME from?
(07/07 16:59:19) Jules Lavisham: Differences in goals, oftentimes egos start manifesting vying to take over.
(07/07 16:59:44) Kelsei A.T.: the Kahlo pub was laced with fake bottles in a clear attempt to hide the offending sources
(07/07 17:00:01) Kelsei A.T.: the Museum was carefully laced in places people would highly traffic touch...
(07/07 17:00:09) Kelsei A.T.: and then Tally just haphazardly splashed three books before fleeing.
(07/07 17:00:26) Kelsei A.T.: that doesnt sound to me like they were on the same page at all about what needed doing.
(07/07 17:00:46) Dni_seeker 5: Wait a second.
(07/07 17:01:01) Dni_seeker 5: "Aimless Renegade."
(07/07 17:01:14) Kelsei A.T.: a poignant anagram, for sure.
(07/07 17:01:58) Jules Lavisham: The lack of direction is cause for concern
(07/07 17:02:14) Jules Lavisham: Especially if they have little regard for the welfare of the rest of us
(07/07 17:02:18) Kelsei A.T.: indeed.
(07/07 17:02:34) Kelsei A.T.: if we consider previous incidents of 'mishaphs' to be their work...
(07/07 17:02:38) Kelsei A.T.: the Watchers Pub, Jules,
(07/07 17:02:43) Kelsei A.T.: do you remember that one day?
(07/07 17:02:45) Kelsei A.T.: Before the AGM?
(07/07 17:02:47) Dni_seeker 5: What?
(07/07 17:02:50) Kelsei A.T.: I think that was the day we met, even.
(07/07 17:03:04) Kelsei A.T.: the Watchers Pub- someone had put up barriers again,
(07/07 17:03:13) Jules Lavisham: The barriers, yes
(07/07 17:03:17) Kelsei A.T.: and hidden the Words books?
(07/07 17:03:26) Jules Lavisham: That's right, the missing books
(07/07 17:03:48) Kelsei A.T.: that was rather, odd, at the time
(07/07 17:03:53) Kelsei A.T.: we thought someone was just pranking us,
(07/07 17:03:56) Jules Lavisham: Bloody hell... how long has this all been going on for?
(07/07 17:03:57) Kelsei A.T.: if we assume that was their work...
(07/07 17:04:14) Dni_seeker 5: Then it could have been going on since the beginning!
(07/07 17:04:15) Kelsei A.T.: ...probably back to that first august, even?
(07/07 17:04:35) Kelsei A.T.: I remember Calum writing about someone placing a fake linking book to chiso
(07/07 17:04:39) Kelsei A.T.: before the official reveal,
(07/07 17:04:48) Dni_seeker 5: I read about that
(07/07 17:04:52) Kelsei A.T.: it made no sense at the time but if someone wanted to screw with us...
(07/07 17:05:05) Kelsei A.T.: ...before that point in time, the Cavern population was slimming down, wasn't it?
(07/07 17:05:21) Kelsei A.T.: people weren't down here as much, from what I've heard, and then with the Chiso announcement...
(07/07 17:05:38) Jules Lavisham: Interest shot up.
(07/07 17:05:43) Kelsei A.T.: exactly.
(07/07 17:05:53) Kelsei A.T.: that would explain the sudden uptick of annoying acts, atleast.
(07/07 17:06:19) Kelsei A.T.: missing books... stolen items...
(07/07 17:06:29) Kelsei A.T.: pranking the pub by closing it down?
(07/07 17:06:38) Kelsei A.T.: ...and that message Tally sent us...
(07/07 17:06:45) Dni_seeker 5: Vandalism, attempted murder...
(07/07 17:07:00) Kelsei A.T.: "This cavern, these ages, are NOT YOURS."
(07/07 17:07:19) Kelsei A.T.: i think we have their motive, whatever it is.
(07/07 17:07:21) Dni_seeker 5: NOT YOURS. That's what was written in Todelmer when I was attacked!
(07/07 17:07:28) Kelsei A.T.: they dont want us here.
(07/07 17:07:39) Kelsei A.T.: ...but destroying the Overflow station doesnt fit with that
(07/07 17:07:46) Kelsei A.T.: why do that?
(07/07 17:07:52) Dni_seeker 5: to scare us?
(07/07 17:08:04) Jules Lavisham: If they were seeking to demoralise us
(07/07 17:08:12) Jules Lavisham: Make us feel our efforts were a waste of time
(07/07 17:08:31) Kelsei A.T.: mmh...
(07/07 17:08:43) Kelsei A.T.: or... it wasn't meant for us.
(07/07 17:08:46) Kelsei A.T.: there wasnt a message that time.
(07/07 17:09:12) Dni_seeker 5: Wait a second... That was the first time anyone saw Sami.
(07/07 17:09:14) Kelsei A.T.: all of this started coming to light because Calum caught 'Sami' trying to *Fix* sabbotaged equipment,
(07/07 17:09:17) Kelsei A.T.: exactly,
(07/07 17:09:44) Dni_seeker 5: So does that mean that Sami is some kind of TARGET?
(07/07 17:10:06) Kelsei A.T.: I think Jules is right about the group fracturing,
(07/07 17:10:37) Kelsei A.T.: its possible that this girl, whatever her real name is, has decided to break from them and they're *not* happy about that.
(07/07 17:10:49) Dni_seeker 5: a renegade.
(07/07 17:10:56) Kelsei A.T.: and if she's directing us to a "Harlan"...
(07/07 17:11:13) Dni_seeker 5: Then maybe we can trust this guy
(07/07 17:11:27) Kelsei A.T.: atleast so far as an information source.
(07/07 17:11:32) Jules Lavisham: This Harlan may have the inside story on this group's MO
(07/07 17:11:40) Kelsei A.T.: maybe he left them before?
(07/07 17:12:09) Jules Lavisham: There's a few archtypes for this type of behaviour
(07/07 17:12:32) Kelsei A.T.: i can think of a few myself, none of which are flattering.
(07/07 17:13:27) Jules Lavisham: Mmm, likewise.
(07/07 17:13:42) Jules Lavisham: Some of which are also very, very dangerous.
(07/07 17:13:46) Kelsei A.T. sips at her drink, and leans on the counter
(07/07 17:13:52) Kelsei A.T.: which fits our perceived MO of these people.
(07/07 17:14:25) Dni_seeker 5: I already know they're dangerous, Tally almost KILLED me, remember?
(07/07 17:14:33) Kelsei A.T.: yes, but why escalate?
(07/07 17:14:48) Kelsei A.T.: up until that point they seemed content to just scare us and prank us.
(07/07 17:15:02) Kelsei A.T.: and threatening people's lives is...
(07/07 17:15:20) Dni_seeker 5: Something's up. And I think Sami is the key to all of this.
(07/07 17:15:21) Kelsei A.T.: it makes them a *threat* and people dont react to that kind of thing evenly
(07/07 17:15:31) Kelsei A.T.: agreed,
(07/07 17:15:43) Kelsei A.T.: keep an eye on your KIs if she sends you anything else.
(07/07 17:15:52) Jules Lavisham: Right now, the only consistent MO is trying to get explorers to leave the cavern.
(07/07 17:15:53) Kelsei A.T.: if she's escaped and gone to ground again, she may reach out.
(07/07 17:17:24) Kelsei A.T. finishes her drink
(07/07 17:17:41) Jules Lavisham sighs
(07/07 17:17:44) Kelsei A.T. tosses the mug into the sink
(07/07 17:18:45) Jules Lavisham: It's all getting rather A Lot.
(07/07 17:18:48) Kelsei A.T.: indeed,
(07/07 17:19:03) Kelsei A.T.: i'd almost rather deal entirely with the Rei'schu stuff instead
(07/07 17:19:18) Kelsei A.T.: atleast that's... *distant*
(07/07 17:19:20) Dni_seeker 5: I
(07/07 17:19:25) Jules Lavisham: I was going to say, a lengthy sabbatical in Rei'schu is looking more and more appealing by the day.
(07/07 17:19:42) Kelsei A.T.: agreed,
(07/07 17:20:30) Kelsei A.T. shakes her head
(07/07 17:20:41) Kelsei A.T.: at any rate, I think I'm going to go check in on Calum.
(07/07 17:20:57) Kelsei A.T.: last I spoke with him, he seemed to think Naybree was ready for final checks.
(07/07 17:21:13) Jules Lavisham: Excellent.
(07/07 17:21:27) Kelsei A.T.: it's also probably a good thing Naybree got chosen first...
(07/07 17:21:32) Kelsei A.T.: I've talked with Keith...
(07/07 17:21:46) Kelsei A.T.: the butterfly situation seems... potentially bad
(07/07 17:21:58) Kelsei A.T.: he's talking about trying to figure out how to build a dome around an entire area of an age,
(07/07 17:22:11) Kelsei A.T.: quarantine it.
(07/07 17:22:15) Jules Lavisham: Ah. So probably beyond the scope of the larger of my butterfly nets, then.
(07/07 17:22:26) Dni_seeker 5: I am not setting foot in Todelmer until this crisis has ended,
(07/07 17:22:27) Kelsei A.T.: well, until migration season, sure
(07/07 17:22:36) Kelsei A.T.: that's probably wise.
(07/07 17:23:04) Kelsei A.T.: anyways, ill see you all later.
(07/07 17:23:15) Kelsei A.T. leans left
(07/07 17:23:18) Jules Lavisham: Later Kels. Nice to catch up.
(07/07 17:23:21) Jules Lavisham leans right
(07/07 17:23:32) Kelsei A.T. leans left
(07/07 17:23:36) Jules Lavisham: Give Cal my best
(07/07 17:23:38) Kelsei A.T.: will do
(07/07 17:23:54) Jules Lavisham: Ask him to let me know when that planned cultural exchange is going down with Rei'schu
(07/07 17:23:54) Kelsei A.T. waves goodbye
(07/07 17:24:02) Dni_seeker 5: I'll begin my search for this Harlan.
(07/07 17:24:08) Jules Lavisham: Ed apparently plans to introduce them to Hawkwind.
(07/07 17:24:10) Kelsei A.T.: i think that's something he'll work on after Naybree's release,
(07/07 17:24:20) Kelsei A.T.: just remember to keep it down low, DS5
(07/07 17:24:38) Kelsei A.T.: if this harlan guy is important, we dont want these people spooking and going after him before we get a chance to find him.
(07/07 17:24:52) Kelsei A.T.: it's already likely they know she posted the message, but
(07/07 17:24:54) Kelsei A.T.: still.
(07/07 17:24:58) Kelsei A.T.: best not to spook people.
(07/07 17:25:04) Jules Lavisham: Mmm.
(07/07 17:25:08) Kelsei A.T.: i dont want to set off any more 'witch hunt' accusations.
(07/07 17:25:17) Kelsei A.T.: i've had enough of those for one life time.
(07/07 17:25:22) Dni_seeker 5: "WITCH HUNT"?
(07/07 17:25:33) Kelsei A.T.: yes, some folks thought my trying to find sami was a witch hunt.
(07/07 17:25:37) Kelsei A.T. rolls her eyes
(07/07 17:25:45) Kelsei A.T.: whatever, i'll deal.
(07/07 17:25:59) Kelsei A.T.: have a goodnight
(07/07 17:26:01) Kelsei A.T. waves goodbye
(07/07 17:26:05) Jules Lavisham: Night, Kels
(07/07 17:26:08) Kelsei A.T.: night
(07/07 17:26:11) Kelsei A.T. reltos...
(07/07 17:26:12) Dni_seeker 5: My search is not going to be an all-out manhunt
(07/07 17:26:13) Jules Lavisham waves goodbye
(07/07 17:26:26) ...Chat.log stopped.
