Beneath

It’s been a tough few days, we held a memorial today for David on his Relto, the Book of which has been placed in Tehren.

Sophie is heading to the surface to notify the family and to take some time out, she and David were very close, this has hit her hard, indeed it has hit all of us hard.

Once I have finished securing everything, I shall be heading to the surface myself, Keira too is planning some time away.

As for James I don’t know what to make of it. I know he could be confrontational at times, if not short tempered, but I wouldn’t expect him to do anything like what seems to have happened, this ill feeling was only re-enforced when I was in the City Proper earlier. I had gone back to his place to look over the area and gather up the remaining documents when James himself appeared, I had barely glimpsed him before he saw me and Linked out.

If he did nothing wrong, why did he not stay and tell us what happened? Why run?

It seems I am slowly being forced to consider that perhaps James is guilty for the death of David.

The worst has been confirmed, Keira headed up to the City Proper to find James, who also hasn’t been seen since David’s disappearance, figuring that David had gone to get James to return to his projects, there she found David’s body.

Keira thinks that David and James got into it, resulting in Davids death, from the look of the scene it seems to indicate as much, but I’m not an expert in these matters. David’s body is at a weird arch from where the balcony above is, indicating some speed or force in his fall which doesn’t appear natural. We had made our way up to the area James had been apparently living in. The balcony rail had been broken, we found fragments under David’s body. James’ area was full of notes on the Bahro, D’ni Slavery and on The Art.

We’ve confiscated his journal and notes to study and see if we can find out what he was planning.

We really need to find James and get his side of things…

Rest in peace Dave.

We’ve been searching D’ni and its Ages for 2 days now, his work equipment is down at the Ferry Terminal where he was working on one of the boats, but there is still no sign of him

Quick access to the city was restored today, Dave’s great work got the Nexus working, although access to the Great Zero has been presenting a problem.

The KI is still being worked on, Dave has decided to set up hidden communication stations around the Cavern running on a wireless connection to allow for us to communicate when in D’ni, this solution will not work for the other Ages which is an issue.

We know the DRC ran a similar connection at one point, as evidenced by the “Hood Cam”, shame Victor isn’t around for us to consult with, but I have faith in Davids abilities.

Been busy setting everything up, decided to take a break and head into Ae’gura. Nexus is still down so I had to take an alternative route, using the Bahro Stone in Gira I arrived at the Tokotah Rooftop, I knew the DRC had an alternate way of getting down as there is a wooden ladder up there. Using the ladder to get to the adjacent building then used the rope I had packed to descend into the alleyway.

All very tedious, I think the Nexus and KI needs to be the first thing we get sorted, even if it only had the base functions for Ae’gura access.

For some reason the DRC decided to put the barriers back up, maybe they had anticipated people returning, not that it matters as the barriers failed to stop us from entering closed areas in the past, at least back then you had the chance of being caught by a DRC member, now of course the city is open to us.

The others arrived today, after meeting them on the surface we moved the supplies down to Tehren and started planning what we were going to do next.
