Nick White: So everyone hear about the big Sharper debacle?
ireenquench: you have news?
Nick White: Was anyone there?
Sarah: Not the most popular announcement he ever made.
Kam Uraki: Hey Nick. Okay, a bunch of us may have seen Engberg. Obviously, we've learned from the DRC, so we can't say for sure one way or another

r.
ireenquench: I was. He seems crazy. Did Cate set him up?
Nick White: That's what it sounded like. I wouldn't call him a fool but I understand the negative reaction.
Nick White: Regardless, Cate heard about it. Was not happy. She had another meeting with him.
Firesign: oh, cate didnt know?
Jazz: Where did he get the book, then?
Nick White: Said she was sending him to Noloben for reconaisaance - not to kill a Bahro.
Nick White: Sharper was not in a good mood this evening - had to calm him down.
Nick White: Poor guy.
Deius: He's going about it the wrong way...it will lead to no good
ireenquench: You sure about that? Maybe she's just agitated that Sharper wasnt exactly along her lines, PR talky wise.
Nick White: I'm not going to sit here and defend him - I wasn't there - but I will tell you that he's a good man.
Alant Sunir: I think we all empathize with him, but we all have a stake in this mess.
Nick White: You don't know what that did to him last month.
Nick White: The things tried to kill him.
Nick White: They should have killed him. And then he saw what they did to Wheely.
Deius: He may be a good man, but he is making a huge mistake if he carries out his plan
Nick White: We'll see what he does.
Firesign: he just gets..excitable
Nick White: He's a hunter at heart.
Nick White: And these things tried to kill him and did kill people he knew.
ireenquench: But, he seemed to be quite trigger happy... he said he'll take one down no matter what kind, no matter what he finds out about them.
Nick White: He then had a chance to go after them. You see why he got "excited"
MikeFitz: At best he gets revenge ? At worst he could provoke them into more attacks on us!
Nick White: No. He's still going.
Breanna Walker: alone?
Nick White: Alone.
Deius: You are explaining his motives well, Nick, but it still doesn't make what he wants to do right.
Nick White: I'm not sure it's wrong. But yes it doesn't make it right.
Nick White: If it is wrong.
ireenquench: Nick... you could go with him... Maybe you could be of a positive influence.
Nick White: Maybe I could get killed.
Nick White: That'd be fun.
Breanna Walker: he should not go alone
Simon_Bitdiddle: That man needs a Chaperone. Preferably someone in a maintainer suit.
Nick White: He has a plan.
Nick White: He's been doing a lot of "planning"
Jazz: What sort of plan?
Nick White: Says it's not about big guns this time.
Nick White: He's done his research.
Simon_Bitdiddle: Nick, you need to tell Cate to scrub this mission and get Sharper to proper psychological help.
Nick White: Not my job.
Jazz: Is he going to share that research with us?
Nick White: Probably not now.
ireenquench: On what... weaponry? Or Bahro?
Nick White: Both.
Dakro: Has he discussed his plan with you? and if so can you explain to us what he told you?
Nick White: Guns and roses.
Tayrtahn: music soothes the savage bahro?
Kam Uraki: Welcome to the Jungle
Nick White: Paradise City works every time.
Gondar: Or at least scares them off?
Nick White: Or maybe he'll whisper Patience.
Simon_Bitdiddle: He also said that the Bahro were leaving the Pod ages alone.
Nick White: Yeah they haven't been around.
Simon_Bitdiddle: Are the animals returning?
Nick White: Vanished.
Thend: Nick, now you are being absolutely evasive lol
Nick White: I think most of the animals are dead.
Nick White: Bahro killed them all.
Nick White: But I'm sure the Bahro aren't mean.
Gondar: Hey Nick... have you been out around the other pods? There were the symbols found near the negilahn pod you said, but what about say payiferen?
Nick White: Haven't seen any.
jetuser: Hey nick, I was wondering what happened specifically with Wheely, alot of the drc have been really mum about it
Nick White: They've been mum because it's not pretty.
Jazz: You're sure the Bahro aren't mean? So why is Sharper going to kill one?
Nick White: I was being sarcastic. They've wiped out practically the whole animal population.
jetuser: I mean even if you said its what happened to the creature on negilahn then that would paint a pretty accurate picture
Nick White: Exactly jetuser - you can all imagine what they saw.
Jazz: The Bahro will just retaliate
Nick White: And it was probably a little worse than you can imagine.
jetuser: Ah so its safe to say its something like that?
Nick White: Yes.
Nick White: Safe to say.
MikeFitz: Yeah lets go attacking a race who can link in an kill us at anytime!
Nick White: There are two lines of thought - sit around until they come and eat us. Go get 'em.
Sarah: I don't agree with the killing idea, but let's be clear, it's not a foregone conclusion that we lose.
Nick White: Kinda like Republicans and Democrats.
Nick White: Bad joke.
Sarah: The D'ni had no powers that humans haven't proven they can use, and they had no trouble with the Bahro.
Tai'lahr: Maybe they're in fear of us and the restoration, and that's why they've become more agitated.
Nick White: The D'ni weren't dealing with the same Bahro we are.
Tai'lahr: Why do you say that?
Nick White: You guys are the ones that always bring up Myst V - the game. I think that's pretty accurate.
Nick White: Cyan is usually pretty accurate with their depictions.
Gondar: So.. you're saying the DRC has known all along what we were up against, and about the tablet and so on?
Nick White: the DRC has been suspicious of the Bahro.
Nick White: I don't think they had any idea they were capapble of such violence until recently.
Alant Sunir: Like a kid with a loaded gun, huh?
Nick White: Well you can think that....
jetuser: But Nick do we know specifically whether its a manner of free will or if someone is controlling them?
Nick White: We can all have our theories...
Nick White: Even Sharper.
The Zoologist: So, Mr. White... what is the DRC's take on these creatures in a general perspective?
Nick White: I don't speak for the DRC.
Snazzy: Is there any way to defend ones self from a Bahro attack?
Nick White: Jab it in the eyes.
Nick White: Get a snake.
Sarah: They haven't learned the vertical hand block, the two-finger eye poke will be lethal!
Tayrtahn: Ah, the Three Stooges defense...
Sarah: Sorry to interrupt, Nick, please continute
Nick White: Nobody interuppted.
Thend: Nick, so whoever has the tablet is in the realm of 'theories' now, at the moment?
Thend: Or do you know?
jetuser: Well im not sure exactly if its free will or tablet controlled yet thend
Nick White: Agree jetuser.
ireenquench: Nick, can you explain again this stuff about free Bahro, Myst V Bahro, D'ni Bahro?
Robotany: I'd like to hear Sharper's "theory"
Nick White: Sharper's theory is that the bad ones will kill us the first chance they have.
Nick White: No matter what we do.
Deius: If that were true, Nick, we'd be dead now
Nick White: Maybe they haven't had a chance Deius. There are good ones too.
Survivor Man: How can you tell a bad Bahro from a good Bahro?
Nick White: Interest rates..
Kam Uraki: In Star Trek, the bad versions of the Enterprise crew had beards
Deius: So how can we contact the good ones to help them help us?
Nick White: I don't know.
Tai'lahr: If this were Star Trek, I'd be dead by now cause I wear a red shirt. lol
Nick White: Nobody got my joke and it was a good one.
Thend: (Everyone laugh as if you got the joke)
Nick White: How do you tell the difference between a good Bahro and a bad Bahro? Interest rates.
[laughs]
Nick White: Okay sorry.
Sarah: You could just read the bahrometer
Nick White: Nice one.
Nick White: What was the question?
Breanna Walker: Nick, will you be in contact with Doug while he is gone?
Nick White: I will probably hear from Sharper from time to time.
Nick White: Hopefully.
Tai'lahr: So, is Shaper your only official connection to the DRC, now?
Nick White: No, no...
Nick White: I have my men on the inside.
Tai'lahr: Oh, really? Who?
Nick White: Resengs.
Firesign: never rat your sources

Nick White: I haven't.
Nick White: I could be lying.
AKA: well if you see him before his trip, please let him know we want him to be careful and that we are sorry if we offended him when he came to talk with us earlier today.
Nick White: I'm sure he'll show up before he heads out.
Nick White: He's not one to sit in the corner because everyone yelled at him.
Tayrtahn: When is he heading out?
Nick White: Tomorrow or Wednesday.
Gondar: Is he the type to act rashly because people yelled at him though?
Nick White: Agreed.
FEENXFIRE: Before Er'cana?
Nick White: Not sure.
Nick White: On Er'Cana that is.
Dalken Starbyne: Nick...I was wondering...is Doug at all worried that this might make other Bahro mad and try to...y'know...attack other people?
Nick White: Yes he is worried about that.
Nick White: But, as I said, his theory is that nothing is going to stop them from attacking when they can.
Nick White: He'd like to learn all he can before that happens.
Nick White: Including, if necessary, how to kill them.
Deledrius: Does he have any basis for that theory, or is it conjecture?
Nick White: His basis is probably that they tried to kill him, killed entire populations of animals - for no apparent reason - and killed two people here.
jetuser: Hey Nick, what about yeesha in all of this? I mean she's usually your go to person for issues with bahro or anything remotely to this in the past.
jetuser: Has she just dissapeared or?
Nick White: Uh, I don't have her cell number.
jetuser: Well i mean about the DRC in general, have they tried to contact her?
Simon_Bitdiddle: Nick: Did Yeesha turn you down too?
Nick White: I don't think you just call up Yeesha.
Kolian: You gotta jingle some keys
Gondar: Yeah, we've all tried

Nick White: She's not my type.
jetuser: True, but wouldnt you think that she would know about something like this, considering how close she is to the bahro
Nick White: I would think she does.
Carval: I know that this has been asked before, but how much does the DRC really know about the Bahro, from D'Ni notes or otherwise?
Nick White: Bits here and there. They are looking at those bits more seriously lately.
jetuser: I'm pretty sure she wouldnt stand idly by while people get killed by the things that taught her
Nick White: I don't have any answers about Yeesha, for the record.
Nick White: I don't work for her.
Nick White: And no one I know has the ability to call her up with questions.
Tai'lahr: Who do you work for, Nick?
Nick White: Myself.
Nick White: Best boss around.
Vander: does it pay well?
Tai'lahr: Not much money in that, is there?
Sarah: Does that come with dental, Nick?
Nick White: No.
Firesign: easy to get a day off at least
Nick White: Looking for jobs on the surface.
Gondar: Has the DRC had any interest in hiring you back?
Nick White: Not sure.
Gondar: Nah, Cate is Yeesha's younger sister. The one that came after the stuff we know about.
Tai'lahr: Oh, I thought Cate was Yeesha's daugher. lol
Moondweller: Then who's her dad?
Nick White: Who's your daddy?
Sarah: Nick, do they have your expertise duplicated at all?
Nick White: Duplicated?
Nick White: They have cloned me.
Sarah: Like, are there people there who can cover everything you were doing for them?
Nick White: They'll find ways. Everyone can be replaced.
Nick White: At least in a job.
Nick White: Although they'll never be as good as me of course.
Arwen Gemstone: Nick, any news about Engberg? Or do you have any ideas what happened to him?
Nick White: No one has heard a word about Engberg.
DrFrob: I wouldn't be surprised if Engberg joined Sharper. He certainly has enough reason.
Nick White: Yeah I bet Engberg wouldn't mind seeing Sharper kill a Bahro.
Yellowdog: So thats it Nick? No headlines huh?
Nick White: That's it.
Nick White: I think you guys know most everything.
Thend: Nick, last time, can you ask Sharper to release the information he's gathered for himself on the Bahro?
Thend: Please?
Nick White: Yes, I can ask him.
ireenquench: You know Nick, it might be good if you kept in touch with the DRC... people interested in history and language are really interested in getting that stuff you took before you left. And if you leave the cavern for good, what could we do? You are open... the DRC is sometimes all business.
Nick White: I'm not leaving the cavern for good.
Nick White: But yeah, I need to get you guys some more stuff.
Nick White: I said I would.
Chloe: nick, Chloe Rhodes, Uru Action News, I just need a quick verification on something.
Nick White: Yes Chloe - and then I have to go.
Chloe: nIck, there's been debates recently about the slave cages in teledahn, wether or not it was bahro that were kept there by the d'ni. Can you verify if the Bahro were kept there, or another slave race?
Nick White: Another as far as I know.
Nick White: They were kept there before being hunted in Rebek.
Nick White: And I'm out....
Jazz: Bye Nick
Nick White: Bye Jazz.
