(11/05 18:07:39) Calum Traveler: evening all.
(11/05 18:07:40) Scharminius: good night Babbel
(11/05 18:07:48) Zaroth: bye Babbel!
(11/05 18:07:57) Calum Traveler: hi and bye, babbel

(11/05 18:08:05) Zaroth: evening, Calum
(11/05 18:08:20) Calum Traveler slumps down, tiredly
(11/05 18:08:23) Jet Blast: Hi Calum
(11/05 18:08:28) Scharminius: you came just in time, Calum… we were about to discuss the future of the Cavern
(11/05 18:08:34) Calum Traveler: oh?
(11/05 18:08:44) Scharminius: speculation, not scheming
(11/05 18:08:48) Calum Traveler: ah
(11/05 18:08:49) Calum Traveler: heh
(11/05 18:08:54) Calum Traveler: well, feel free to speculate away
(11/05 18:08:55) nosi: So long as there is one, then that’s ok
(11/05 18:09:50) Malaclypse: Time for me, I’m afraid…
(11/05 18:09:51) Root Beere leans left
(11/05 18:09:55) Malaclypse waves goodbye
(11/05 18:09:56) Calum Traveler: night, mal,
(11/05 18:09:57) Calum Traveler: night rb
(11/05 18:09:58) Malaclypse leans right
(11/05 18:10:04) Malaclypse: Public Service Spam: Sunday from 12:30 KI time, Radio Free D’ni will breathe Curved Air!
(11/05 18:10:07) Jet Blast: Night Mala
(11/05 18:10:12) Woolie waves goodbye
(11/05 18:10:15) Sestra: good night Mal
)(11/05 18:10:16) Malaclypse goes “foomp!”
(11/05 18:10:19) nosi: Night Mal
(11/05 18:10:21) Scharminius: some of us have seen visions already that may be difficult to put into words
(11/05 18:10:43) Calum Traveler: well then, visions you say?
(11/05 18:10:48) Calum Traveler: always a fascinating subject. :3
(11/05 18:11:15) Calum Traveler moves a bit closer to the crowd
(11/05 18:11:51) Scharminius: I understand there may be some ground-breaking developments soon? (or currently underway)
(11/05 18:12:08) Root Beere leans left
(11/05 18:12:09) Calum Traveler: Well, if you were paying attention last… week?
(11/05 18:12:09) Woolie leans right
(11/05 18:12:12) Calum Traveler: yeah, last week,
(11/05 18:12:20) Calum Traveler: youll know Briggs fished up a Relto book from the lake
(11/05 18:12:31) Root Beere leans right
(11/05 18:12:37) Jet Blast leans left
(11/05 18:12:39) Calum Traveler: it belonged to one Wayne Todd, who was exploring some industrial area of the cavern
(11/05 18:12:47) Calum Traveler: he took it upon himself to do some lake research on his own
(11/05 18:12:55) Calum Traveler: lost his book trying to jumpstart some machinery,
(11/05 18:12:58) Sestra leans right
(11/05 18:13:00) Root Beere leans left
(11/05 18:13:03) Calum Traveler: we’re still in the early phases of investigating the area,
(11/05 18:13:12) Calum Traveler: i dont think we’re even fully through phase 1 mapping
(11/05 18:13:19) Root Beere leans right
(11/05 18:13:19) Scharminius leans left
(11/05 18:13:31) Jet Blast: Good night Root Beere
have sweet dreams (11/05 18:13:39) Calum Traveler: but it seems to be a regulatory area the D’ni devised as part of the lake feeding systems,
(11/05 18:13:47) Woolie waves goodbye
(11/05 18:13:56) Calum Traveler: Laxman or one of the DRC folks mentioned years ago that the D’ni had means of protecting the lake from surges in algae feeding
(11/05 18:14:01) Calum Traveler: this seems to be one of them,
(11/05 18:14:22) Calum Traveler: wayne’s trip out also confirmed the sample readings we’ve been getting from the lake here at Ae’gura
(11/05 18:14:30) Calum Traveler: as well as a few other places ive been sampling from
(11/05 18:14:47) Calum Traveler: the O2 and CO2 levels of the lake seem to be doing very well lately,
(11/05 18:14:57) Calum Traveler: and the lake algae is harmonizing, for lack of a better word, with itself
(11/05 18:15:08) Calum Traveler: before it was sporadically glowing in large chunks and dim in others,
(11/05 18:15:35) Calum Traveler: so… idk about ground breaking in that specific regard, but we are hoping to see the Lake begin to resume it’s day night cycle soon.
(11/05 18:15:43) Calum Traveler: id pin it in a few months, give or take,
(11/05 18:15:51) Calum Traveler: as long as pellet feeding remains consistent
(11/05 18:16:06) Calum Traveler: oh!
(11/05 18:16:08) Calum Traveler: we do have new forums
(11/05 18:16:16) Calum Traveler: viewforum.php?f=2
(11/05 18:16:21) Calum Traveler: in the vein of the old DRC forums
(11/05 18:16:27) Calum Traveler: so those are newly broken ground
(11/05 18:16:38) Calum Traveler: feel free to sign up and join the chatter there,
(11/05 18:16:52) Calum Traveler: hmm… what else…
(11/05 18:16:59) Calum Traveler ponders for a moment…
(11/05 18:17:57) Calum Traveler: i’m not sure what the planned release schedule is for these next areas, but I can say that the age of Tiam and a D’ni area known as Elonin are nearing readiness
(11/05 18:18:12) Calum Traveler: our friend Ametist has been spearheading their present restoration efforts,
(11/05 18:18:28) Calum Traveler: Elonin is also known as “The Loft” in some circles, I believe?
(11/05 18:18:35) Calum Traveler: it first came to my attention under that name, atleast.
(11/05 18:18:50) Calum Traveler: I believe it was another explorer’s project first, and has since been past to Ametist to work on,
(11/05 18:19:06) Calum Traveler: Dulcamara, I want to say? I might have that wrong, though, I’m a bit tired tonight.
(11/05 18:19:37) Calum Traveler: Tiam’s a fascinating place, though
(11/05 18:19:42) Calum Traveler: it’s a D’ni home away from home kind of age
(11/05 18:19:56) Calum Traveler: the kind of place that’s clearly meant to entertain family and guests for a time,
(11/05 18:20:15) Calum Traveler: oh, right, im just remembering too,
(11/05 18:20:30) Calum Traveler: there was a big announcement yesterday by J.D. Barnes and the Guild of Archivists
(11/05 18:20:46) Calum Traveler: apparently theyve been digging through the DRC archives and have some live-stream event planned for Sunday, too
(11/05 18:20:56) Calum Traveler: watchers pub, around the same time as RFD, alas,
(11/05 18:21:05) Calum Traveler: looks like theyll be recording it for posterity though
(11/05 18:21:12) Calum Traveler: but no clue where on youtube itll be posted after.
(11/05 18:21:25) County Down: I record the posterities
(11/05 18:21:28) Calum Traveler: i get the feeling some of this is all still up in the air by them
(11/05 18:21:40) Calum Traveler shrugs
(11/05 18:21:44) Scharminius: well, the picture of the ferry will draw some of the Called to RFD
(11/05 18:21:46) Calum Traveler: but then again, what isnt these days?
(11/05 18:22:00) County Down: I’m feeling that their sidewaysed air can be breathed another time
(11/05 18:22:01) Calum Traveler: yes, i agree with kels’ there, that was a bad choice of a picture
(11/05 18:22:31) Calum Traveler: umm, I’ll also be managing the AGM tomorrow, i think
(11/05 18:22:39) Calum Traveler: nobody else has volunteered for permanent running it yet,
(11/05 18:23:03) Calum Traveler racks brain trying to think of anything else…
(11/05 18:23:09) Calum Traveler: if you have questions i guess nows the time to ask?
(11/05 18:24:29) Calum Traveler looks around for a bit
(11/05 18:24:36) Sestra: Thank you, Calum
(11/05 18:24:59) Calum Traveler:
(11/05 18:25:03) Scharminius thanks you
(11/05 18:25:03) Calum Traveler: tis not a problem
(11/05 18:25:09) Calum Traveler: no questions then?
(11/05 18:25:37) Scharminius: end of the week for me too… I’m curiously uninquisitive this time of week
(11/05 18:25:40) nosi: None from me, time for me to go I’m afraid
(11/05 18:25:45) Calum Traveler: fair enough
(11/05 18:25:50) Calum Traveler: have a good night then,
(11/05 18:25:50) nosi: Goodnight all
(11/05 18:25:53) Zaroth: Take care of yourself, Calum. Don’t burn yourself out!
(11/05 18:25:54) Calum Traveler: ive got some work to get to, too
(11/05 18:25:57) Scharminius leans right
(11/05 18:26:01) Sestra: Good night. nosi
)(11/05 18:26:04) Calum Traveler: ah, this weekend is a bad time to say that lol
(11/05 18:26:06) County Down: I wish we cpould have large pastel ages where we could jump into the sea and go to islands and clifsides
(11/05 18:26:15) Sestra leans left
(11/05 18:26:27) Calum Traveler: well, im not sure about pastel, but i do know one age that’s rather paintingly
(11/05 18:26:36) Calum Traveler: …well, it’s rather paintingly dream like
(11/05 18:26:38) nosi leans left
(11/05 18:26:43) nosi leans right
(11/05 18:26:46) Choupette: Shorah
(11/05 18:26:47) nosi leans right
(11/05 18:26:49) County Down: Yes, is it trebivdil?
(11/05 18:27:01) nosi waves goodbye
(11/05 18:27:03) Calum Traveler: that wasn’t quite it,
(11/05 18:27:08) County Down: oh
(11/05 18:27:08) Scharminius: good night, Nosi
)(11/05 18:27:10) Calum Traveler: but i suppose trebiv is actually somewhat painterly too
(11/05 18:27:18) Calum Traveler: no, i was thinking about something a bit more, ah, crystaly.
(11/05 18:27:22) County Down: it has a large cog in a hole, the one i’m thinking of
(11/05 18:27:32) Calum Traveler: not sure when thats going to get released, if ever.
(11/05 18:27:36) Sestra leans right
(11/05 18:27:40) Choupette leans left
(11/05 18:27:43) Calum Traveler: Kelsei has me on lockdown from visiting it after that whole sleepwalking debacle
(11/05 18:27:46) Scharminius guesses not the crystal room in Tiam
(11/05 18:27:55) Calum Traveler: no, Vertigo, scharm,
(11/05 18:28:00) Zaroth: Always wanted to jump off Trebivdil to go swimming. Probably inadvisable, though…
(11/05 18:28:01) Thumbs up from Scharminius
(11/05 18:28:05) Choupette leans left
(11/05 18:28:08) Scharminius leans right
(11/05 18:28:20) Calum Traveler: i think we’re both just waiting to see if there’s any more lingering effects before any revisit to the place is done.
(11/05 18:28:32) County Down: It looks like swimming weather there.
(11/05 18:28:35) Scharminius: hallo chou
(11/05 18:28:35) Zaroth: Shorah, Choupette
(11/05 18:28:38) Calum Traveler: ive been looking into the Pod 12 area more in the mean time,
(11/05 18:28:39) Scharminius: bonsoir Jet
(11/05 18:28:41) Calum Traveler: fun, lots of caves
(11/05 18:28:45) Calum Traveler: dark though
(11/05 18:28:51) Calum Traveler: might be a bring your own flashlight kind of journey
(11/05 18:28:56) Mak Raves leans right
(11/05 18:29:00) Choupette leans left
(11/05 18:29:01) Jet Blast leans right
(11/05 18:29:07) Mak Raves leans left
(11/05 18:29:08) Calum Traveler: or a bring your own fireflies even, heh
(11/05 18:29:14) Scharminius wants to outfit his flashlight with modular marbles
(11/05 18:29:40) Sestra leans left
(11/05 18:29:42) Calum Traveler: ill be honest, the last couple of weeks have been a bit exhausting with everything,
(11/05 18:29:45) Mak Raves leans right
(11/05 18:29:52) Calum Traveler: Wayne’s relto book, and searching the lake…
(11/05 18:29:56) County Down wants to rock
(11/05 18:30:01) Calum Traveler: today was a busy day of desting the Lake Dalek, too
(11/05 18:30:12) Calum Traveler: i think Hazado’s finally gotten most of the kinks worked out
(11/05 18:30:15) Calum Traveler leans left
(11/05 18:30:19) Mak Raves leans right
(11/05 18:30:24) Scharminius: shorah Mak
(11/05 18:30:29) Calum Traveler: Emor’s been helping him too, in places
(11/05 18:30:39) Jet Blast:
))(11/05 18:30:47) Mak Raves leans right
(11/05 18:30:49) Calum Traveler: it’s been good to see the danged thing read a number other than 1 or 0
(11/05 18:31:09) Zaroth leans left
(11/05 18:31:30) Choupette: Welcome zaroth:)
(11/05 18:31:34) Scharminius leans left
(11/05 18:31:38) Mak Raves leans right
(11/05 18:31:38) Calum Traveler: i think that about covers everything outside of Descent,
(11/05 18:31:42) Zaroth: Thank you, Chou!
(11/05 18:31:48) Calum Traveler: which, well, it’s Descent.
(11/05 18:32:11) Calum Traveler: Patrick hasn’t had need of me to do any survey work down there lately,
(11/05 18:32:20) Calum Traveler: we’re still verging on the edge of clearing Phase 1,
(11/05 18:32:21) Choupette: Did you finish all ages zaroth?
(11/05 18:32:40) Calum Traveler: just needs those official dots and croses to the is and ts
(11/05 18:32:43) Jet Blast: If you need anny help Zaroth ,remember that we exist
)))(11/05 18:33:01) Zaroth: Pretty sure I have, thank you.
Have the 5 completion rings(11/05 18:33:08) Calum Traveler: fancy!
(11/05 18:33:13) Zaroth: Scharm helped me with a lot of them
(11/05 18:33:22) Choupette: Just to understand calum..we will have the descent soon?
(11/05 18:33:22) Calum Traveler: shame that it’s only just the donuts as a reward, yknow…
(11/05 18:33:22) Scharminius bows
(11/05 18:33:28) Calum Traveler: oh, not soon,
(11/05 18:33:30) Calum Traveler: not anywhere soon,
(11/05 18:33:31) Choupette: Have
(11/05 18:33:35) Calum Traveler: Descent’s phase 1,
(11/05 18:33:37) Calum Traveler: of 5
(11/05 18:33:49) Calum Traveler: it’s a different tiering system to the other phase structure we usually use
(11/05 18:34:01) Calum Traveler: we’ve only just about secured the Shaft itself, last i was there
(11/05 18:34:15) Choupette: well not so soon but sooner or later
(11/05 18:34:18) Calum Traveler: some of the tunnels between the caldera and the shaft tunnels near the surface need some more stability work,
(11/05 18:34:30) Calum Traveler: and we havent even gotten started on anything past the floor of the shaft in earnest
(11/05 18:34:45) Calum Traveler: something’s off with the geared mechanisms in the elevators too,
(11/05 18:34:57) Calum Traveler: but the path is walkable from the surface down to the floor of the shaft,
(11/05 18:34:59) Scharminius: Zaroth figured out all the things, though… “I was barely involved — all I did was give her a nudge”
(11/05 18:35:21) Calum Traveler: Elonin and Tiam are closer to release than Descent
(11/05 18:35:21) Zaroth: haha, thank you
(11/05 18:35:22) Choupette: Thats how we do it
(11/05 18:35:27) Calum Traveler: i’d put them probably… eh…
(11/05 18:35:35) Calum Traveler: within a month if there arent any delays?
(11/05 18:35:39) Mak Raves: If you need some 3D models, I can make with CAD, let me know, maybe I can help.
(11/05 18:35:45) Calum Traveler: or, well,
(11/05 18:35:45) Choupette: Help me with elonin please
(11/05 18:35:58) Calum Traveler: within a month to reach phase 5,
(11/05 18:36:04) Calum Traveler: they may take a bit longer after hitting that
(11/05 18:36:05) Choupette: Which age is that?
(11/05 18:36:09) Calum Traveler: it’s a D’ni location
(11/05 18:36:15) Calum Traveler: off of one of the neighborhoods,
(11/05 18:36:43) Calum Traveler: not sure which, can’t seem to get any of the doors open
(11/05 18:36:51) Calum Traveler: we’ve had to link in just to do any work in there.
(11/05 18:37:04) Calum Traveler: any of the external doors, rather
(11/05 18:37:11) Calum Traveler: there’s plenty of working doors on the inside of the place.
(11/05 18:37:26) Calum Traveler: very cozy, I can see the music lovers enjoying it
(11/05 18:37:41) Calum Traveler: a nice place to relax after some hefty exploring
(11/05 18:38:02) Calum Traveler mutters something about unclogging water pipes…
(11/05 18:38:11) Choupette: Sounds good but i still have no idea
(11/05 18:38:35) Calum Traveler: neither do we, beyond it’s adjoined to a Neighborhood
(11/05 18:38:45) Calum Traveler: seems like it’s in one of the fancier ones, though.
(11/05 18:38:58) Calum Traveler: KI coordinates in that part of the cavern are notoriously buggy, after all
(11/05 18:39:17) Calum Traveler: even the Great Zero cant differentiate one hood from another, it feels like.
(11/05 18:40:21) Calum Traveler: OH, techwise
(11/05 18:40:23) Calum Traveler: i just remembered
(11/05 18:40:34) Calum Traveler: Jules Lavisham’s been spearheading a project to record audio updates for folks
(11/05 18:40:51) Calum Traveler: we’ve managed to get the Kirel podium working for the most part,
(11/05 18:41:00) Calum Traveler: even recovered that old recording from Dr. Watson from back in 2003,
(11/05 18:41:07) Calum Traveler: or 04?
(11/05 18:41:09) Calum Traveler: one of those years
(11/05 18:41:16) Calum Traveler: you might’ve heard it, might not have,
(11/05 18:41:33) Calum Traveler: we’ll be trying to get that functioning fully in the coming weeks,
(11/05 18:41:40) Calum Traveler: there’s been some slight reverb issues, though,
(11/05 18:41:42) Calum Traveler grimaces
(11/05 18:41:53) Calum Traveler: hopefully we can iron that out quick enough
(11/05 18:42:05) Jet Blast:
)(11/05 18:42:05) Calum Traveler: the goal is to do a quarterly recording, covering recent events,
(11/05 18:42:51) Calum Traveler: Jules has also been teasing sneaking a book into Chiso’s library at some point, who knows when he’ll finally pull the trigger on that, though.
(11/05 18:43:04) Choupette: So good luck
(11/05 18:43:09) Calum Traveler: thanks.
(11/05 18:43:39) Jet Blast: Brb ,an empty glass make me sad
)))(11/05 18:43:47) Calum Traveler: oh, right, a reminder
(11/05 18:44:06) Calum Traveler: Daylight Saving Time will end on Sunday, Nov. 7, 2021
(11/05 18:44:10) Calum Traveler: 2 am I think?
(11/05 18:44:24) Calum Traveler: so US folks will be getting back in alignment with the EU crowd, i think.
(11/05 18:44:25) Choupette: How many people are working on those issues calum?
(11/05 18:44:45) Calum Traveler: depends on the day,
(11/05 18:44:51) Calum Traveler: today we saw a bunch of folks working on things
(11/05 18:45:04) Calum Traveler: others it’s sometimes just one or two of us at a time,
(11/05 18:45:07) Choupette: Hi cocoa:)
(11/05 18:45:13) Calum Traveler: it was all hands on deck during the Net2 hunt,
(11/05 18:45:14) CoCoa Daisy: hello
(11/05 18:45:22) Scharminius: shorah CoCoa
(11/05 18:45:31) Calum Traveler: as you can imagine, as a volunteer effort, it al depends on who has time where and when
(11/05 18:45:34) Choupette: Yes thank you for fixing it
(11/05 18:45:36) CoCoa Daisy: found one red marker just now
(11/05 18:45:36) Zaroth: Hello, CoCoa!
(11/05 18:45:40) CoCoa Daisy: only one more to go
(11/05 18:45:50) Calum Traveler: good luck on the marker hunt
(11/05 18:45:50) Mak Raves leans right
(11/05 18:46:20) Calum Traveler: lessee… anything else anyone wishes to ask about?
(11/05 18:46:52) Calum Traveler: if not, ill be heading out, and i’ll see you all at the AGM tomorrow
(11/05 18:47:01) Calum Traveler: though, be prepared to hear something of a rehash of some of this,
