Breakfast in Eder Kemo

I opened the door in Eder Kemo yesterday. Upon being linked to the Bahro cave in the stars, I immediately started recording the speech given by Yeesha. It will be useful later.

Relto is beginning to come alive again. The newly moved in fireflies are prancing around and things are beginning to grow again.

I slept in the hut here on Relto last night. My new sleeping bag was certainly enough to keep me warm but I wouldn't like to be doing this on a regular basis - yet!

The two Ages of Eder Gira and Eder Kemo are now on my bookshelf so I can visit whenever I feel the need.

The water in Gira is quite warm, probably due to all the geothermic activity. This makes the waterfalls a nice place to have a wash. Unfortunately, the pools aren't deep enough to go swimming in but there are other places I can do that.

Breakfast consisted of a small picnic in Eder Kemo before returning home for a few days. I will come back in a week or so and I might try taking a trip to Gahreesen in my next visit.

Arrival & a Successful Link

I arrived at the cleft and immediately started running around pressing the Journey Cloths.

Zandi was there, as always, and looked to be quite absorbed in his book so I left him to it - I didn't see any need to disturb him. I wonder if he ever worries about the fact that his trailer is playing host to a Journey Cloth?

One of the Cloths had moved. When I descended into the Cleft, it was there on the wall to greet me. Maybe the Bahro had put it there to give returning explorers a quick start? New Explorers maybe were getting it as a preview? A 'demo' of what was to come?

Anyway, it didn't stay there. After I had activated the Holo-Imager and closed the door, the cloth was moved back to its proper place. I still can't figure out which one had been moved.

Upon descending into the tree, the Bahro seemed to be screaming more than they usually do. It was rather disturbing, almost like I wasn't as welcome as I had thought I would be.

I hurriedly picked up the Relto linking book, clipped it to my side and linked there.

It's the end, but the moment has been prepared for...

107 explorers in the Guild of Greeters Bevin...

100 explorers maximising the population of Ae'gura...

Other Bevins pulsating with population...

There can be no doubt about the popularity of D'ni caverns!

I don't know what happened; I don't think I'll ever find out but one moment I was in the Guild of Greeters Bevin enjoying the company of my fellow explorers and the next, I was at home. I hadn't even gone back to Relto before returning home, I was just... home.

My link back to Relto is gone.

Well, strictly speaking, it's still there, but it doesn't work. The Bahro must have taken away the ability to link.

I could go to New Mexico and climb down through the cleft and the volcano, through the tunnels and caverns to reach the D'ni city that way, but I cannot afford the fares for travel.

I am unsure what to do.

I can only keep trying my link to Relto.

It might work again.

Someday...

Rushing Around & Catching Up

I've been rather busy of late.

What little time I've had to go down into the caverns, I have been running around furiously trying to bring everything back to my Relto that should be there.

I have scrambled through Teledahn, Eder Gira and Eder Kemo far too quickly for my liking and not really taken the time to sit back and enjoy the views.

Shroomie put in an appearance which surprised me - I still had the machinery running and she was much closer than she had ever been before. By the time I had finished rummaging around in my backpack for the digital camera/video camera, she'd gone again.

I've been trying to find all the Relto pages again and have not missed one yet. This has surprised me as some of them do come and go. Bahro stones as well!
