Entry 37 - Kirel & Sharper Returns

Well it has certainly been a busy summer in my surface life. Not much time for Uru, but I have been home for a few days this week and took advantage of the time I did have to drop in cavern. I'm glad I did.

Sharper's back from Nobolen, having killed a Bahro. He popped in a number of time trying to convince people that there is a war between the Bahro and we need to pick a side - obviously the side that isn't killing explorers.

I new neighbourhood is open, Kirel. Actually, Kirel was an old neighbourhood from the To D'ni expansion pack for the solo game, but it has been redressed to promote various Guilds. The populations in the public ages seems to be growing by leaps and bounds, so adding any public hoods would be a good thing. Nothing really to do here besides picking up a T-shirt to support a particular guild.

The DRC has also made it possible to upload your pellet points to the viewer in your 'hood, contributing to your 'hood's total score. Let the competition begin.

Checking Out The Pellet Scores In My New Look

But certainly the most exciting thing to happen was me spotting my first live Bahro. I was in Watcher's with a few other people including Tayma, before we were going to check out Kirel. Tayma was digging up the URL for a message board for our 'hood (which is awesome to have!) when suddenly it appeared in front of me. No one else seemed to be at their keyboards, so I announced to my neighbours that there was a Bahro here. I followed it upstairs, snapped a couple of weak pics from a distance. I then had it cornered and tried to get in for a close-up shot when it linked out. Apparently, getting too close causes that to happen.

Soon after, the population of Wathcer's was packed with explorers - word gets around fast - but there wasn't another showing.

Anyway, last night was a good time. I connected with a lot of people from our 'hood. A bunch of us went to Techno's Er'cana to collect a new Relto page which got a little goofy when the age turned glitchy on us, but I managed to get the page before I crashed. Unfortunately, I'm off again for about a week and a half, but I think, after that, I'll be able to get some quality Uru time in. I've also got a number of updates to do at the Guild of Helper's board.

'till then.
