Answers Lead to Questions

I've been on the surface for awhile, getting married and spending a honeymoon on Maui. I just got back to the Cavern and found out progress has been made during my absence! Darned Doug and Nick, running off and working while I'm away.

Apparently Doug spent the last couple weeks setting up a blind in Negilahn, and using it for observations. I'll hafta get the whole story, but from what I can tell, he not only found out what the predator was, but had an awefully close call with it. Seems it was the Bahro, a group of them, and they set him up. Mid attack he got rescued by another group of Bahro who showed up to fight the first group - do we have a Bahro civil war on our hands? The ramifications of that are terrifying!

Bad News

Nick got fired by the DRC. After the fiasco last week where Sydney Austin published transcripts of her private conversations with him, he was put on probation by Lexie. It seems he snuck back into the City, though details are hazy, and Sydney ratted him out to Cate. Now he's been canned, and Sydney is spouting pro-DRC "Cate showed me the light" nonsense.

What's going on here?!?!

On the plus side, Sharper's definetly back, and has been in Negilahn for a few weeks on recon. Seems he's seen our predator, I definetly need to find the guy and catch up. Need to figure out out what to do about Nick, too, that could cause some snags.

Word on The Street

Nick's on probation.

Cate let us know the other day that due to his "fraternizing" with Explorers, he won't be allowed to visit the Cavern for a few weeks. I assume this is in regards to his pseudo-dating relationship with Sydney Austin, but who knows. What it means is that he's going to be much harder to get a hold of, and he's going to be much harder to get information out of. That's not going to help things.

However, it seems Sharper is back in the Cavern, doing "recon" as Cate referred to it. I'm going to have to track him down.

Can we move on yet?

Apparently Nick was around yesterday afternoon, for the first time in a couple weeks.

And nobody bothered to ask about the animals! Good Lord!

Nobody cares! It's cuz we haven't been making a stink about itlately. The DRC disappeared, and we did all that we could do in their absence, but without their help, we can't move forward. Unfortunately, it's been so long that people have either lost interest or forgotten about the Negilahn deaths.

Oddly enough, the Anti-DRC Movement has picked up on it in the last day or so. They're just using it as another example of "the DRC sucks", but I think we can use that to gain momentum to restart the research. While I don't agree with everything they say, they do have a knack for getting people's attention. Never would I ally any group I'm a part of with them, but in this case we have a common goal, and we can use them to spread the word and raise awareness of the issue.

And with that public awareness, perhaps the DRC will start to listen to us.

Just maybe...

The ADM is hosting a "protest" in regards to "the DRC is killing all the cute animals" on Monday night. I don't know if I can make it, but I'm trying to get some of the other DZS folks there to keep an eye on things. I don't want this project to fall in the hands of the ADM.

Blow Over

The Anti-DRC Movement kick-off meeting was last night. I didn't go, cuz I'm not particuarly opposed to the DRC (seeing as how I'm working with them and all). It seems the presentation was a lot of hooey based on speculation and inaccurate accusation.

I don't think the Great Tree has to worry about their position of DRC watch-dog being usurped...

Fast Times at Uru High

It seems Nick has gone and created a hornet's nest with a group of females around here. After my first couple of conversations with Nick, he started inviting Heaven, Jazz, and sil_oh_wet to some of our hang-out times. We all became friends, and later Nick asked them to spread around some historical work he'd been working on. Some bits from a religious text, a few things about some D'ni pop stars (apparently they liked folk music), odds and ends like that.

Then along came Sydney Austin.

She used to hang around the Cavern, and caused a major stir with her brashness. At one point there was even a sit-in being held to try and start a dialogue with Cate Alexander (Lexie), and Sydney single handedly ticked her off to the point she left and refused to talk to people.

Now she's back, and determined to follow through with her Anti-DRC Club agenda. i don't understand it myself, but if that what she wants to do, fine. Problem is, she's totally playing Nick. Sydney claims that "Nick is mine", and has warned off any other girls who hang around with him that they "better not get in the way". It's caused quite the high-school drama stir, and I plan to stay out of it as much as I can.

However, it's my friends that are being attacked, and I won't stand for that.

Adding to the problem is that Nick has gone AWOL, and hasn't done anything to rectify the situation. Doug is right... The "boy" needs to step up and take some responsibility.
