(02/06 12:37:25) Calum Traveler: how goes it?
(02/06 12:37:38) Patrick Dulebohn: Busy. And more busy. How are you, Cal?
(02/06 12:37:40) Eternal Seeker: Hello Doobes
(02/06 12:37:48) Calum Traveler: been busy too
(02/06 12:38:00) Calum Traveler: hoping i can stay for the whole AGM and not have to return to the surface for family stuff >>;;;
(02/06 12:38:01) From skuavi II in skuavi II’s Relto: hola
(02/06 12:38:09) Calum Traveler: ill leave my KI on a chatlog at any rate
(02/06 12:38:10) Patrick Dulebohn: Yes. You’ve even put in a bit of work for us as well, for which I thank you.
(02/06 12:38:12) Patrick Dulebohn smiles
(02/06 12:38:22) Calum Traveler: any extra pair of eyes, right?
(02/06 12:38:37) Patrick Dulebohn: Indeed! We look at these places so often, we’re liable to miss something, right?
(02/06 12:38:49) Calum Traveler: yeeeepp.
(02/06 12:38:50) Patrick Dulebohn: Fresh pair of eyes is always what the doctor ordered.
(02/06 12:39:02) Ovaron laughs
(02/06 12:39:18) Calum Traveler: im just glad i can be of help in some small way.
(02/06 12:39:28) Patrick Dulebohn: Every little bit counts, I assure you.
(02/06 12:40:00) Calum Traveler grins
(02/06 12:40:56) Minasunda: shorah Sku
(02/06 12:41:13) philipgr: Shorah Skuavi
(02/06 12:41:30) skuavi II: hello philip
(02/06 12:41:32) Jodok: shorah skuavi
(02/06 12:42:18) Patrick Dulebohn: Feels good to sit down. I think I’ve honestly circled this cavern at least three times over by now.
(02/06 12:42:22) Patrick Dulebohn laughs
(02/06 12:42:24) Calum Traveler: haha
(02/06 12:42:30) Calum Traveler: i know that feel.
(02/06 12:43:04) Calum Traveler: sometimes you just keep retreading ground, whether you want to or not… >>;
(02/06 12:43:13) Calum Traveler: its always nice when it’s the want to, though
(02/06 12:43:23) Patrick Dulebohn: This is true.
(02/06 12:44:08) Calum Traveler: the times when its the ‘not’ make me feel for the DRC though.
(02/06 12:44:26) Calum Traveler: all those quakes back in the day, especially after the Scream… geeze.
(02/06 12:44:41) Calum Traveler: i know its a Cavern, but youd think the ground would stabilize after a point
(02/06 12:45:23) Patrick Dulebohn: Well, just look at California. The landmass will probably never truly stop being in motion.
(02/06 12:45:31) Calum Traveler: Fair enough.
(02/06 12:46:03) Patrick Dulebohn: Thankfully, D’ni wasn’t located near a tectonic plate…just a dormant volcano.
(02/06 12:46:07) Patrick Dulebohn grins
(02/06 12:46:08) PodHopper: Shorah everyone
(02/06 12:46:16) Calum Traveler: true true, heh
(02/06 12:46:18) Minasunda: shorah Pod

(02/06 12:46:31) Calum Traveler: Shorah, pod,
(02/06 12:46:31) Patrick Dulebohn: Hello PodHopper!
(02/06 12:46:33) philipgr: Shorah PodHopper
(02/06 12:46:36) PodHopper: Is it me or is Kor missing?
(02/06 12:46:40) skuavi II: hola gemma and podhopper
(02/06 12:46:44) Calum Traveler: might be a bit late,
(02/06 12:46:49) gemma nye: hola sku
(02/06 12:46:49) PodHopper: hola
(02/06 12:46:53) Calum Traveler: or just distracted
(02/06 12:47:06) Calum Traveler: or KI issues for that matter.
(02/06 12:47:23) Calum Traveler: any number of reasons just as possible as the stars in the sky
(02/06 12:47:24) mafasa: 1
(02/06 12:47:26) Patrick Dulebohn: Our esteemed host is probably just looking to make a fashionably late entrance.
(02/06 12:47:29) Patrick Dulebohn laughs
(02/06 12:47:42) Calum Traveler: heh
(02/06 12:47:52) Calum Traveler: maybe giving some last minute reviews to the schedule?
(02/06 12:48:00) Patrick Dulebohn: Still, he’s earned it. He’s been one of my go-to translators.
(02/06 12:48:08) Patrick Dulebohn: Amongst many other things he does.
(02/06 12:48:11) Calum Traveler: yeah
(02/06 12:48:16) Calum Traveler: he did great work on-
(02/06 12:48:24) Patrick Dulebohn: Shhhhh.
(02/06 12:48:26) Patrick Dulebohn winks
(02/06 12:48:28) Calum Traveler: >>;;;;
(02/06 12:48:55) Patrick Dulebohn: I know we said no NDAs, but no spilling any beans, Mr. Traveler.
(02/06 12:48:57) Patrick Dulebohn grins
(02/06 12:49:08) Calum Traveler: cant help but be excited
(02/06 12:49:23) Calum Traveler: :33
(02/06 12:49:34) Patrick Dulebohn: …but yes, everyone’s been doing such great work. I can at least say that.
(02/06 12:50:28) Calum Traveler looks around for a “Soon TM” sign post…
(02/06 12:50:54) Patrick Dulebohn: I’m half-tempted to have a plaque made up saying that. Ha!
(02/06 12:51:09) Patrick Dulebohn: Then hang it in my office in Teshafee.
(02/06 12:51:11) Calum Traveler: it’s become something of a meme on CyanChat apparently.
(02/06 12:51:40) Calum Traveler: i may make a similar sign and hide it somewhere
(02/06 12:51:42) Calum Traveler: eventually…
(02/06 12:51:52) Calum Traveler: >> lots of work to do before anyone’ll be seeing that though.
(02/06 12:52:15) Patrick Dulebohn: Just keep at your work, Cal. It’s grueling and back-breaking…but oh so rewarding!
(02/06 12:52:43) Calum Traveler: more rewarding that moving storage bins around when you spot the lids cracking, at any rate
(02/06 12:52:47) Minasunda: shorah Kor
(02/06 12:53:02) PodHopper: Shorah Kor
(02/06 12:53:08) Patrick Dulebohn waves to Korov’ev
(02/06 12:53:08) Jodok: shorah korovev
(02/06 12:53:15) Calum Traveler: Shorah, Korov’ev
(02/06 12:53:18) SandDoone: hi there Kor
(02/06 12:53:23) Eternal Seeker: shorah Kor
(02/06 12:53:31) Ovaron: Shorah Korov’ev

(02/06 12:54:56) Nosila: hi ya all
(02/06 12:54:58) Patrick Dulebohn: I see lots of folks like to arrive fashionably late! Still, glad I got a good seat.
(02/06 12:55:10) Patrick Dulebohn: Well, not late late…but you know what I mean.
(02/06 12:55:25) Calum Traveler: we may be slow to gather, but when we do… Oh Boy Do We Gather
(02/06 12:55:41) Cassis: shorah all
(02/06 12:55:46) Patrick Dulebohn: Oh, you all proved that last August. It was glorious!
(02/06 12:55:49) Ovaron: 32 participants I’ve just counted …
(02/06 12:55:49) Minasunda: shorah cassis
(02/06 12:55:52) Patrick Dulebohn: Hi there!
(02/06 12:55:54) rarified: Good Turnout.
(02/06 12:55:56) philipgr: Shorah Cassis
(02/06 12:55:56) Calum Traveler: August was Amazing
(02/06 12:56:00) Briggs: Shorah
(02/06 12:56:05) Jodok: shorah to all
(02/06 12:56:13) skuavi II: no
(02/06 12:56:31) Patrick Dulebohn: I was certainly riding off a high from that for months. Absolutely amazing.
(02/06 12:56:41) Calum Traveler waves to the familiar faces arriving
(02/06 12:57:02) skuavi II: hello karel
(02/06 12:57:12) rarified runs to get a cookie
(02/06 12:57:13) Ovaron: shorah karel
(02/06 12:57:14) Karel: Hiya Sku
(02/06 12:57:21) Minasunda: shorah Karel:)
(02/06 12:57:29) TikiBear: I see so many old friends and new faces. …and old friends with new faces.
(02/06 12:57:39) Minasunda: lol

(02/06 12:58:30) SandDoone: sanddoone waves hello
(02/06 12:58:35) Korov’ev: a couple of minutes yet…
(02/06 12:58:36) PodHopper: Glad you made it Kor
(02/06 12:58:41) Ovaron waves hello
(02/06 12:58:49) Korov’ev: I hope so

(02/06 12:59:17) PodHopper: Shorah
(02/06 12:59:21) Patrick Dulebohn waves to all the explorers just coming in
(02/06 12:59:27) cjherkeless passes out gummibahros
(02/06 12:59:30) Jodok: shorah
(02/06 12:59:35) Patrick Dulebohn: Sorry if I’m quiet. Going over my hastily-written notes.
(02/06 12:59:38) Patrick Dulebohn smiles
(02/06 12:59:52) Calum Traveler: always good to last min review :33
(02/06 12:59:54) Adam {Hoikas} suggests dropping your notes
(02/06 13:00:14) rarified: Especially if they’re on un-numbered index cards.
(02/06 13:00:31) Melania: c.c.c.ching
(02/06 13:00:36) Korov’ev: that’s when you find out you picked up the grocery list instead of the notes
(02/06 13:00:48) Ovaron laughs
(02/06 13:00:51) PodHopper starts to laugh
(02/06 13:01:00) rarified: Cake sounds good.
(02/06 13:01:03) Telrov kneels down…
(02/06 13:01:07) Calum Traveler: oh, dear, is that why i have a list of food items in my pocket?
(02/06 13:01:11) Calum Traveler: (I joke)
(02/06 13:01:21) Korov’ev: heh
(02/06 13:01:23) Calum Traveler only has feathers in pockets…
(02/06 13:01:37) Korov’ev looks in pocket

(02/06 13:02:09) Korov’ev: Alright, time to start…

[Traveler263]

(02/06 13:16:07) Patrick Dulebohn waves hello
(02/06 13:16:07) Eternal Seeker claps his hands
(02/06 13:16:12) Cassis claps his hands
(02/06 13:16:14) Minasunda claps her hands
(02/06 13:16:18) Ovaron claps his hands
(02/06 13:16:19) Patrick Dulebohn: Hello, my friends!
(02/06 13:16:28) Patrick Dulebohn: Happy New Year to you all. I hope everyone has had at least a tolerable 2021 so far given how crazy 2020 was.
(02/06 13:16:38) Patrick Dulebohn: I’m glad to be back among you here in Kirel and out from behind the scenes of our ongoing restoration.
(02/06 13:16:52) Patrick Dulebohn: I know information has been a small trickle since the big opening last year, but trust me, we have all been working very hard on various projects.
(02/06 13:17:10) Patrick Dulebohn: I’m hoping our next Age openings will be part of what I like to call our “Legacy” collection.
(02/06 13:17:24) Patrick Dulebohn: I’m sure many of you are familiar with the Ages of Tre’bivdil and Serene. You may also know of the Vothol Gallery here in the cavern.
(02/06 13:17:42) Patrick Dulebohn: They have been available to the public for quite some time to varying degrees, but circumstances have caused us to close them…but only temporarily!
(02/06 13:17:56) Patrick Dulebohn: We’re hoping to reopen all three locations within the next few months.
(02/06 13:18:12) Patrick Dulebohn: Serene has been suffering from even more extreme cold weather than usual, so work on that Age has been the slowest. We’re hoping the ongoing storms will clear up so we can showcase the exceptional restoration work of the late Andy Legate.
(02/06 13:18:38) Patrick Dulebohn: Not sure how Andy did it with all that snow and wind all those years ago, but he pulled it off! One of many reasons he is sorely missed.
(02/06 13:19:00) Patrick Dulebohn: Tre’bivdil, restored by Lontahv, had some unusual high swells in the surrounding ocean recently, so its small island structures need to be rechecked. At the moment, we’re doing that plus considerable cleanup and some repair.
(02/06 13:19:29) Patrick Dulebohn: Lastly, due to some seismic activity localized in that particular area of the cavern caused the Vothol Gallery, a point of interest here in D’ni originally restored by Rustee, to be closed off at the Link in point.
(02/06 13:19:53) Patrick Dulebohn: We were barely able to get over a cave in that occurred there, but I’m happy to report that the artwork featured has survived and taken no damage. Most of the structure is still intact, too.
(02/06 13:20:16) Patrick Dulebohn: We hope to clear the rather heavy debris from the Link in point fairly soon.
(02/06 13:20:31) Patrick Dulebohn: All that aside, we’ve also been keeping in touch with Keith Lord, who has been keeping busy with further restoring Fehnir’s House, amongst many of his other projects.
(02/06 13:20:54) Patrick Dulebohn: He’s very methodical, which usually means more time before he opens up his projects for public visits, but those that have seen his work know the wait is completely worth it.
(02/06 13:21:15) Patrick Dulebohn: We hope to hear from him and get our hands on some Linking Books for you all soon.
(02/06 13:21:38) Patrick Dulebohn: Now, as part of our own group’s restoration efforts…another cavern location we haven’t mentioned yet. Located on one of the islands on the lake, it appears to have been a central location outside of Ae’gura for all major and minor Guilds to meet.
(02/06 13:22:05) Patrick Dulebohn: Even so, the main auditorium, with its large stage and ample seating could certainly be used for many other events such as dances, light shows…pretty much any event our industrious explorers can plan!
(02/06 13:22:34) Patrick Dulebohn: Surrounding the auditorium off the sides are several lounge areas for more private meetings, discussion and relaxation. They also each offer a lovely view of the cavern and the lake!
(02/06 13:22:54) Patrick Dulebohn: Lastly, we’ve been cleaning up and continuing minor repairs to the areas we’ve already released. We also plan to get more festive in the Ae’gura Guild of Messengers’ Pub on a more regular basis.
(02/06 13:23:13) Patrick Dulebohn: Expect it to “go green” just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. You may also find some “old friends” in there to kick around a bit!
(02/06 13:23:40) Patrick Dulebohn: Although please keep in mind some are there for your safety.
(02/06 13:23:43) Patrick Dulebohn winks
(02/06 13:23:57) Briggs starts to laugh
(02/06 13:24:01) Calum Traveler: XD
(02/06 13:24:02) Patrick Dulebohn: Again, I can’t thank you all enough for your wonderful feedback with all that we have done so far. Plus, your donations to the CAVCON fund have kept the lights on around here for 11 years now!
(02/06 13:24:17) Patrick Dulebohn: So please, don’t forget to donate as much and as often as you can! We’ll do our best to make it worth your while.
(02/06 13:24:34) Korov’ev: cough https://mystonline.com/en/donate/ cough
(02/06 13:24:56) Patrick Dulebohn grins, nods to Korov’ev
(02/06 13:25:05) Patrick Dulebohn: And of course, everyone contributing behind the scenes. We continue to make new progress thanks to their work too.
(02/06 13:25:26) Patrick Dulebohn nods to Hoikas, rarified, Calum…just to name a few
(02/06 13:25:39) Patrick Dulebohn: We have outlasted both restoration efforts and it’s because of all of you! I thank you for that.
(02/06 13:26:10) Patrick Dulebohn: So expect big things in the coming months! 2021 should be pretty exciting indeed.
(02/06 13:26:10) SandDoone claps her hands
(02/06 13:26:15) Scharminius claps his hands
(02/06 13:26:20) MindWalker cheers
(02/06 13:26:20) Patrick Dulebohn: Thank you for your time. Any questions?
(02/06 13:26:32) Korov’ev: the queue is speechless
(02/06 13:26:36) Patrick Dulebohn laughs
(02/06 13:26:39) Calum Traveler wants to ask a question…
(02/06 13:26:45) Melania needs a bathroom
(02/06 13:26:46) Patrick Dulebohn: It was a lot to take in, I’ll admit.
(02/06 13:26:49) Ovaron: yes, speechless
(02/06 13:26:49) Korov’ev: go ahead
(02/06 13:26:50) Calum Traveler: Will there be cake and cookies?
(02/06 13:27:14) Korov’ev: the cake is … well, there may be cake
(02/06 13:27:15) Ovaron: and popcorn?
(02/06 13:27:17) Patrick Dulebohn: I’ve been told the cake is a lie…I have no idea what that means.
(02/06 13:27:19) Patrick Dulebohn grins
(02/06 13:27:19) cjherkeless: can we liberate wherever the drc hid all the d’ni alcohol?
(02/06 13:27:27) AntDroid hopes for lots of droppage
(02/06 13:27:36) Melania: can you provide a bathroom anytime soon?
(02/06 13:27:46) Patrick Dulebohn: We’ve tried looking for it…and no such luck, cj. You’re more than welcome to try though.
(02/06 13:27:58) cjherkeless starts planning an expedition
(02/06 13:28:02) Patrick Dulebohn: Bathrooms are all over…you just need to find them. I believe you all are fond of puzzles, yes?
(02/06 13:28:03) Scharminius: This whole place is the D’ni cavern, Melania…
(02/06 13:28:05) Korov’ev: bring your own!
(02/06 13:28:07) Adam {Hoikas}: probably in the dunny
(02/06 13:28:07) Patrick Dulebohn giggles
(02/06 13:28:16) Ovaron thinking of a swimming pool
(02/06 13:28:28) Korov’ev: both beverages and bathrooms!
(02/06 13:28:33) Claidi Song claps her hands
(02/06 13:28:36) rarified: Pack it in, Pack it out.
(02/06 13:28:37) Korov’ev claps his hands
(02/06 13:28:37) Korov’ev: Thank you Patrick!
(02/06 13:28:38) Patrick Dulebohn: Alright, I’ll take my leave now. See you all soon!
(02/06 13:28:40) Calum Traveler claps his hands
(02/06 13:28:41) Patrick Dulebohn salutes
