Yesterday, I found out the Restoration Engineer Jesse Bronson was leaving the Cavern. He is one of my friends I've made over the past six months, and I'm really sad to see him go.
Today, I found out that Michael Dogherra, another ResEng, is leaving as well.
I think it is sad. Jesse and Michael are the most loved ResEngs, and it will be a completly new Cavern with them gone.
I am throwing a party tomorrow, the 2:nd December, to say farewell to them. The party will be at 9 AM KI time, and will be held in A Beginners Bevin.
Goodbye, Jesse and Michael.
Perhaps we'll meet again.
Perhaps the ending has not yet been written.

Happenings
I am sitting in my Relto when writing this in my journal. Later, I will post it on my blog.
I can feel the rain pouring down, and hear the thunder far away, out from the mist. The only thing that keeps me warm is the fireplace I am sitting next to. Rubbing my hands together, trying to understand what actually happened.
It all started with Cate announcing that she was leaving. She Linked to Ae'gura, and luckely I was there at the time.
Everyone told her to stay, that she was needed. But she did not care, and with a last "See you." she headed for the surface. Of course, the DRC was devestated. Without Cate, there was no funding. And without funding, there would be no more restoration work.
Some days later, Ahnonay was released. As I had been there before, it was not so hard solving it, and when I finally looked out over the spheres that held the four versions of Ahnonay, I could not help thinking "2-0 to me, Ahny."
Also, the explorers at last got it confirmed the Bahro war isn't a joke. The bahro started swarming Keeraths Arch, and kept looping around it for days.
Then everything happened quickly. K'veer was discovered, Myst was released by a Bahro, Yeesha came, and the DRC left.
Everything is now quiet again, just like before. No sign of the DRC leaving at all.
But yet, it feels lonely.

While waiting for something more interesting to happen
The past couple of weeks, I have been asisting my friend Singo in restorating the Ages he found.
As he linked to the garden Age he found, he saw that it was beyond repair. But, in it he found a couple of other books, and, most important of it all, a rehevkor! The D'ni learned Garohevtee through the rehevkor; ergo: If you have a rehevkor, you can learn how to write Ages!
But that will be later plans. Right now, we are restorating the Ages he found. It has been quite a deal of work, but we have also progressed a lot. We are currently working on some sort of temple. It has no physical way out, but there cound be a Link to the outside.
Singo has entertained himself by hanging up tapestrys with som of the known Ages on them, while I have been trying to transalate some of the papers on a desk some corridors away, with no luck so far. I guess I have to learn more D'ni before I can do those kind of things.
I will however take a small break by going to Paris next weekend, which should be quite fun.

Dr Watson, I persume?
One of the DRC weeks just ended, and boy, many things happened!
First of all, Guild Pubs were released. There are five Guild Pubs, a maintainers one, a cartographers one, a greeters one, a messengers one, and a writers one. I am a member of the Maintainers Pub, while my friend Singo is a member of the Writers. They are decorated with the guilds symbol and their colours, and I must admitt the Writers one looks awsome!
Also, Doug Sharper decided to release the spy room. In there, we found a book the brought us to Phils Relto! When I linked there, I thought it would be nice and calm like it was a few years ago.
Instead, it was a public instance! Everyone kept trying to bend up the small hatches that kept his books in place (which proved inpossible, of course), climbing the mountain on his relto, and stealing clothes from his wardrobe.
Of course, I wasn't any better myself. I too helped myself to a DRC shirt, and climbed ut to the top of the mountain to enjoy the view.
Later, Michael Engberg returned to the Cavern! He didn't say much, just that he was fine, and then linked out as soon he saw that Dr Sutherland was approaching.
After just a few hours, we was greeted by yet another former DRC member, Dr Richard Watson!
After three years he has returned to the Cavern, after living in Releeshan. I will not go into details about what he said, as you will probably find it in hundreds of other blogposts.

Been a while
I realized earlier today, that I don't write as much as I thought i would do, when I created this blog.
So, time for a change! I have spent the last weeks walking around in the Cavern, talking to new people and old friends. Also, I usually take part in a beginners tour, held by a restoration enginer
(ResEng).
I have started working on the generator I got from Er'cana, but I did not know how big the damage was back then.
I need to get some spare parts, and I am afraid that will not be cheap.
Me and two of my friends went on a small trip by the Cavern wall some days ago. There, we managed to find some of the neighborhoods, and even some with people in them. I guess they were quite surprised when we came in our little boat!
One of my friends, Singo, went on a small trip in one of the more damaged neighborhoods, and came back with a book!
He has been talkling about restoring the Age when he has time, and I hope to visit it some day!
I suspect that it might be a garden Age, but it could be anything. I am not very good at D'ni, and I only got a quick glance in the book.

New Ages and Familiar Voices
Many good things things happening last week!
The DRC decided to release a new Age, called Jalak! Jalak is very different from any other Age they have released so far.
You link in in midair, and fall aprox. 5 meters before you hit a flat stone surface.
When examining it closer, you see that it is not ONE stone surface, but several pillars, making together one big stonecolumn. Now, this is where the fun begins. You can raise or lower any pillar you wish, and you will allso get a snazzy menu for your KI, with different buttons.
There, you will find a randomize button, which will... randomize. Many explorers have allready invented a bunch of games, and I have tried some of them.
You can't really do any explorations in Jalak, as the only place to be on, is the stone pillars, which are surrounded by a swamp.
And, for the second good news, a familiar voice has returned.
Phend! Phil Henderson, apparently not crushed by a wall after all, returned this friday to Ae'gura. He was greeted by hundreds of explorers, and his old friend, Douglas Sharper.
Phil said he was back to help us perpare for the war.
PS. Got the generator from Er'cana home to Relto yesterday, I will begin to repar it tomorrow, I think.

Bahro
Douglas Sharper has returned from the Age of Noloben,
and told us the thing I feared.
The War has started. For real.
Apparently, he stayed a couple of weeks there, watching and waiting, and maneged to kill one. When he returned to the Cavern, he wasn't persicely treated as a hero, more the opposite. And now he has gone back to Noloben, to fight. He says that he owes the Bahor on our side, and besides, if the other Bahro wins, we will all die.
The Bahro on our side have started appearing more and more in the Cavern, and apparently also in peoples Relto.
I am afraid, that They have now come.
All we are waiting for now, is He.
And in the middle of all this, the DRC decides to release Kirel.
