(04/30 14:11:24) NoMore leans back and chills
(04/30 14:11:30) Dreamer3: Shorah Calum, No More. I need to take a quick nap before the meeting.
(04/30 14:11:44) Calum Traveler: k

(04/30 14:22:43) neurovac: shorah
(04/30 14:23:39) Calum Traveler takes a few breaths as he reviews the notes...
(04/30 14:24:30) Calum Traveler: shorah, Securicor, Buddy
(04/30 14:24:36) Securicor says hey
(04/30 14:24:40) Securicor: shorah
(04/30 14:24:41) Buddy: Shorah Calum!
(04/30 14:25:36) Buddy: All alone again Calum? No Murray?
(04/30 14:25:48) Calum Traveler: ...i knew i forgot something
(04/30 14:25:54) Buddy: LOL
(04/30 14:25:54) Calum Traveler: forgot to message him.
(04/30 14:26:03) Calum Traveler sighs
(04/30 14:26:04) Calum Traveler: oh well,
(04/30 14:26:14) NoMore: "Alone again" ... reminds me of a song which had that as lyrics part ...
(04/30 14:26:24) [BUDDIES] To Buddies: TOWN HALL starts in FOUR MINUTES
(04/30 14:27:54) Calum Traveler: shorah ural, CaptainQuery
(04/30 14:28:04) Calum Traveler: Town hall starts in 3 min
(04/30 14:29:00) Calum Traveler: shorah, Theo
(04/30 14:29:43) Theo: Shorah Calum !
(04/30 14:29:44) Calum Traveler: okay, Townhall's about to start
(04/30 14:29:50) Theo: Shorah b'shemtee !
(04/30 14:29:52) [BUDDIES] To Buddies: Town Hall About To Start!
(04/30 14:30:09) Calum Traveler: Welcome All, to the April Town Hall for 2025.
(04/30 14:30:14) Calum Traveler: we have no fools here, that's for sure.
(04/30 14:30:22) Calum Traveler: a month late for that joke
(04/30 14:30:23) Calum Traveler: but
(04/30 14:30:37) Calum Traveler: you get what i can offer when schedules are what they are for this thing.
(04/30 14:31:19) Calum Traveler: i've got a bundle of good news and bad news, though the bad news is mostly just delays to already delayed projects.
(04/30 14:31:28) Calum Traveler: what do yall wanna start with?
(04/30 14:31:43) Buddy: always the bad
(04/30 14:31:48) Calum Traveler: alright.
(04/30 14:32:06) Calum Traveler: the 'worst' news by far goes first then
(04/30 14:32:25) Calum Traveler: several years ago, work began on an Age called "Sakura Vale"
(04/30 14:32:38) Calum Traveler: i'm regretfully informing you all that nobody knows where the book for it is.
(04/30 14:32:58) Calum Traveler: I'm flagging the project as "Nonviable Unless There's a Miracle"
(04/30 14:33:02) Buddy: Not even the project lead?
(04/30 14:33:18) Calum Traveler: His place was searched, the book was not found.
(04/30 14:33:32) Calum Traveler: a lot of things were not found, but that's not my place to cover.
(04/30 14:33:35) Securicor: Time to jump in a fissure
(04/30 14:33:47) CaptainQuery: Hi Indigo
(04/30 14:34:04) neurovac: well that is unfortunate
(04/30 14:34:06) IndigoMoon: hi Cap'n, shorah everyone
(04/30 14:34:12) Calum Traveler: among the things we've lost access to are the survey reports for Descent,
(04/30 14:34:26) Calum Traveler: i alluded to this previously, that I've pulled Ami's Overflow Station crew off of the station for a project.
(04/30 14:34:27) Kadargo1: shorah everyone
(04/30 14:34:31) Calum Traveler: that is re surveying Descent.
(04/30 14:34:46) Calum Traveler: we're also unable to get in contact with the original survey crew.
(04/30 14:35:08) Calum Traveler: so, Descent and Overflow Station are both a bit more delayed due to this diversion of work.
(04/30 14:35:24) CaptainQuery: ok
(04/30 14:35:26) Calum Traveler: in good news, we were able to secure Chiso Preniv's Descriptive Book.
(04/30 14:35:27) Buddy: Too bad.
(04/30 14:35:34) Calum Traveler: it was almost another Sakura Vale case,
(04/30 14:35:36) Buddy: Oh good
(04/30 14:35:53) Calum Traveler: but the good news is, the book is secure in a new location, and it will be disclosed to more individuals to prevent more single points of failure.
(04/30 14:36:16) NoMore: hmm ... is Sakura Vale becoming a synonym for Kobayashi Maru or something ... ?
(04/30 14:36:24) Calum Traveler: no, it...
(04/30 14:36:28) IndigoMoon:
(04/30 14:36:34) Calum Traveler: *was* an Age that the D'ni had long ago, supposedly,
(04/30 14:36:52) Calum Traveler: Doobes did not share much in the way of information, but it appeared to be a Garden Age with multiple names, D'ni and Local.
(04/30 14:37:03) NoMore: okay
(04/30 14:37:06) Calum Traveler: unfortunately, those mysteries will remain buried unless a miracle happens.
(04/30 14:37:09) Calum Traveler: but i'm not hopeful for that.
(04/30 14:37:40) Calum Traveler: some good news to balance things out.
(04/30 14:37:54) Buddy: Finally!
(04/30 14:37:58) Calum Traveler: yall may have noticed some power fluctuations in Chiso in recent weeks? Well, I found the cause.
(04/30 14:38:00) Buddy: Finally
(04/30 14:38:11) Calum Traveler: someone's pet kangaroo-rat-thing was crawling around in the walls.
(04/30 14:38:17) Securicor: Ew, what?
(04/30 14:38:20) Calum Traveler: not sure if it's from Earth or an Age, but it was tagged and collared.
(04/30 14:38:21) IndigoMoon: oh dear
(04/30 14:38:39) Calum Traveler: it's since been returned to its owner, and I'd like to request folks PLEASE do not leave their pets in the Library.
(04/30 14:38:52) Theo: I thought those walls were mostly solid.
(04/30 14:38:59) Securicor: I bet it got into those cookies too.
(04/30 14:39:00) Buddy: Not even my book worm?
(04/30 14:39:02) Calum Traveler: there are removable panels to access the door mechanisms,
(04/30 14:39:20) Calum Traveler: just for example,
(04/30 14:39:24) Theo: Yeah, there's gotta be that....
(04/30 14:39:52) Calum Traveler: anyways, power supply issues have been solved, and I'm pleased to report that I've figured out the issue with Chiso's audio podium
(04/30 14:40:00) Calum Traveler: the fix for that is a bit longer coming though,
(04/30 14:40:17) Calum Traveler: the finalized 'export' of the fixed code that works for Chiso... does not work on Kirel's podium.
(04/30 14:40:21) Calum Traveler: i'm troubleshooting.
(04/30 14:40:33) Dreamer3: We need to get detective Dupin looking for the missing book. I'll go by his relto and see if he's busy.
(04/30 14:40:47) Calum Traveler: i'm hoping to get both fixes out the door at the same time,
(04/30 14:40:56) Calum Traveler: sorry, Dreamer, we've already have a lot of people looking for things,
(04/30 14:41:04) Calum Traveler: and we've had them looking for months.
(04/30 14:41:17) Calum Traveler: the situation is... complex and I'm not at liberty to say more.
(04/30 14:41:42) Calum Traveler: finally,
(04/30 14:41:46) Calum Traveler: the best good news of the lot...
(04/30 14:41:52) NoMore cheers
(04/30 14:41:59) Calum Traveler: Sameehn is scheduled to be released either *next week* or the week after.
(04/30 14:42:04) IndigoMoon claps her hands
(04/30 14:42:08) Dreamer3 claps his hands
(04/30 14:42:12) Securicor cheers
(04/30 14:42:14) Theo cheers
(04/30 14:42:23) Calum Traveler: there's no fixed date yet, but when it is released, it will just be out there, no ceremony.
(04/30 14:42:27) neurovac cheers
(04/30 14:42:28) Buddy claps his hands
(04/30 14:42:29) CaptainQuery: nice
(04/30 14:42:35) Calum Traveler: and again, it will not be found in Chiso Preniv.
(04/30 14:42:35) IndigoMoon: very cool
(04/30 14:42:46) NoMore: (me wondering if it will be the same ehn or a different ehn)
(04/30 14:42:49) NoMore starts to laugh
(04/30 14:42:51) Dreamer3: I'm guessing not in the nexus either?
(04/30 14:43:00) Calum Traveler: hopefully not,
(04/30 14:43:04) IndigoMoon: emporium?
(04/30 14:43:11) Calum Traveler: the nexus is already spitting out bad Emporium books as it is,
(04/30 14:43:17) Theo: What is meant by "ehn" in this context?
(04/30 14:43:32) Calum Traveler: those gateway images dont look stable passages to the Emporium, if you ask me.
(04/30 14:43:56) Calum Traveler: ideally, Sameehn and these busted Emporium books will also be blacklisted in the Nexus until such time as we can replace them.
(04/30 14:44:14) Calum Traveler: i believe the joke was "Sameehn" can be read as "Same ehn", Theo
(04/30 14:44:17) IndigoMoon: dang
(04/30 14:44:28) NoMore:
(04/30 14:44:46) Theo: Gotcha. I missed that one.
(04/30 14:45:03) Calum Traveler: right then, that's all the news i have. i'll open it up to questions
(04/30 14:45:13) Calum Traveler: ill answer what i can, but do be aware i may have to avoid answering somethings.
(04/30 14:45:38) Calum Traveler is a bit puzzled...
(04/30 14:45:43) Buddy: Can you tell us about any other updates that are coming soon?
(04/30 14:46:21) Calum Traveler: I personally made a bit of a fix to a telescope in naybree,
(04/30 14:46:29) Calum Traveler: but that's barely anything to write home about.
(04/30 14:46:32) Calum Traveler: um...
(04/30 14:46:58) Securicor: Woohoo, stargazing time
(04/30 14:47:15) NoMore: I was aware of the mention of the 'descent' things be at least saved in some form ... and wondered further if there might been a plan to when research might continue in those areas ...
(04/30 14:47:54) Thumbs up from IndigoMoon
(04/30 14:47:55) Calum Traveler: NoMore, that is what Ami's team is surveying.
(04/30 14:48:03) NoMore: okay
(04/30 14:48:13) Calum Traveler: we believe the initial shaft and tunnels from the caldera are secure,
(04/30 14:48:24) Calum Traveler: but everything beyond the river channel is suspect at best.
(04/30 14:48:33) Dreamer3: Will the names of the lost survey team be added to the memorial age?
(04/30 14:48:43) Calum Traveler: No, i dont believe theyre dead.
(04/30 14:48:51) Calum Traveler: we just don't have their contact information.
(04/30 14:48:55) IndigoMoon: hmm...
(04/30 14:49:01) Calum Traveler: another single point of failure.
(04/30 14:50:05) IndigoMoon: so they don't wish to be contacted
(04/30 14:50:20) Calum Traveler: less that, more the person who hired them neglected to share their info with us.
(04/30 14:50:22) Buddy: No contact info... HR isn't doing its job!
(04/30 14:50:27) IndigoMoon: ah
(04/30 14:50:46) Theo: Decentralized operation ad-hocracy.
(04/30 14:50:58) IndigoMoon:
(04/30 14:51:08) NoMore: everything is in the cloud
(04/30 14:51:27) Calum Traveler sighs, tiredly
(04/30 14:53:43) Securicor: Awww
(04/30 14:54:30) CaptainQuery: excellent work
[A Several Minute Digression on the subject of Cloud Storage has been expunged from the record.]
(04/30 14:58:05) Buddy: So basically, everything needs to begin again from scratch
(04/30 14:58:12) Calum Traveler: not from scratch
(04/30 14:58:28) Calum Traveler: but it's a significant setback to judge what shape things are in.
(04/30 14:58:37) Calum Traveler: hence, Ami and her crew surveying things again.
(04/30 14:58:43) Theo: A few steps forward, a few steps back. The Ending will Never Be Written...!
(04/30 14:58:51) Calum Traveler: once we're more certain about the state of Descent, we'll be talking more about it.
(04/30 14:59:04) Calum Traveler: some of yall know the usual places we talk about these things in,
(04/30 14:59:14) Calum Traveler: youll know it when you see it.
(04/30 14:59:38) Dreamer3: Can we just restart one of the old tunneling machines?
(04/30 14:59:42) IndigoMoon: several different groups, all with their own agendas, I see
(04/30 14:59:43) Calum Traveler starts to laugh
(04/30 15:00:01) Calum Traveler: you joke, Dreamer, but the only tunneling machine we have access to is half burried in lava.
(04/30 15:00:09) Calum Traveler: hardened rock, sure, but
(04/30 15:00:15) Calum Traveler: that thing aint going nowhere.
(04/30 15:00:29) IndigoMoon: too bad
(04/30 15:00:47) Calum Traveler: makes for a nice set piece of history though
(04/30 15:01:03) Calum Traveler: might set up some spotlights on it, put up a sign or a book talking about it.
(04/30 15:01:18) Calum Traveler: or, we'll just leave it for folks to stumble into\
(04/30 15:01:28) Calum Traveler: one of those things requiring discussions.
(04/30 15:01:31) IndigoMoon: tunneler state park
(04/30 15:01:39) Calum Traveler: right then, i need to go eat soon,
(04/30 15:01:42) Calum Traveler: one more question
(04/30 15:01:53) Theo: Those ran on a different kind of FireMarble than we're used to, yes?
(04/30 15:02:03) Buddy: What are you having for dinner?
(04/30 15:02:08) Calum Traveler: yes, i dont believe we have access to those power marbles.
(04/30 15:02:14) Calum Traveler: undecided, buddy. probably a burger tho.
(04/30 15:02:24) Calum Traveler: alright, im gonna go.
(04/30 15:02:53) Securicor: Thanks, Calum
(04/30 15:02:59) Dreamer3: Thanks, Calum!
(04/30 15:03:05) Buddy: Cheers!
(04/30 15:03:06) IndigoMoon: thanks Calum, you can edit out my silliness
(04/30 15:03:15) Dreamer3 kneels down...
(04/30 15:03:17) Calum Traveler: right then, take care, all.
(04/30 15:03:18) Calum Traveler waves goodbye
(04/30 15:03:23) Thumbs up from NoMore
(04/30 15:03:25) Kadargo1: thanks and bye
(04/30 15:03:25) Buddy: Bye!
(04/30 15:03:27) IndigoMoon waves goodbye
(04/30 15:03:30) Calum Traveler: ill likely see yall again on saturday
(04/30 15:03:34) Calum Traveler: AGM at 1300! Kirel!
(04/30 15:03:41) Dreamer3 claps his hands
(04/30 15:03:42) NoMore cheers
