Upon logging in I saw a message from the DRC that the barriers had been taken down around the accident sight. I went to the city (which was still darn close to being full) and snapped a pick of some of the mourners in the pub alcove.

The place was deathly quiet despite its nearly 40 inhabitants. Someone named Li'Sah asked if anyone knew anything about the KI light. I started private chatting with her (everyone else was pretty distracted) and helped her out. I then asked if she could help me with trying to get that bloody Kadish stone that is supposed to be behind the library. I had such success the other day with Helper420 getting into the gallery that I thought the best thing to do was to have her invite me to her Kadish and then use the gallery book to get to her 'hood instance of the city.
She went to collect the KI light (and the calendar spark there as well as the Relto page), while I went to hang out at the Metaphysical Club. She popped by and I explained my idea, but when I linked the gallery she didn't follow, which meant I ended up in the public city. The real pain was it took 10 or 15 minutes before I was there. While I was lost in transit, Li'Sah's PMing me trying to figure out where I am. On top of that Helper420 logs on with a new Helper (which is great) and she wants me to meet her. I get back to a bunch of messages. The barriers at the gallery exit were still up (they aren't there in the 'hood instances, but this was public) and the lag was ridiculous, so I linked back to my Relto. While I was talking with 420 and Li'Sah my neighbour's kid calls telling me he thinks his dog's neck is broken so I had to quickly telling Li'Sah and 420 that I had to leave. Turns out the kid was blowing smoke (he's a bit strange that way), but I decided to call it a night anyway.
But the day doesn't end there. Before all this stuff, I was waiting for a spot in the city and checking out the latest at Uru Obsession. Sharper was in the cavern yesterday talking about an adventure he has had in Negilahn. He's been reporting on the disappearing animals there for a couple of weeks and has recently determined it was some kind of predator that he was determined to catch. He ended up finding a recent kill with the head removed and followed the trail of carnage through the bush to discover that the kill had been made by a group of Bahro! The Bahro seemed bent on doing the same to him when they were intercepted by a second group of Bahro with a battle commencing. It looked like a war. Sharper's Relto book wouldn't work (the same thing happened to Wheely - undoubtedly the Bahro's doing) but the second group of Bahro linked him to safety.
We are in the middle of a Bahro war!
One last thing. Just before logging off, I noticed a new DRC message in my incoming. I only had a chance to scan it but it appears that Michael Engburg (Wheely's dad) has gone missing.
Man, after weeks of mellowing out in the cavern, things are going bonkers. To add insult to injury, I don't think I'll be able to get on line tonight because of a school play I should attend. I really wanted to drop in on Rand Miller and get to the new Age.
What a kick in the head!
