Hey all,

Sorry for taking so long to post again, it took some effort to get to some power/internet. I’m in Tom’s hood right now (he says hi). He’s got a charger set up here, he gets power from the Er’cana factory or something. He’s pretty good with this stuff; he copied the DRC’s methods of using the lattice for internet. I don’t know how he does it…

Anyway, it’s really good to be back. When I got to Relto I just put down my bag and relaxed… It felt like coming home after a long time. Everything was still there, just as I had left it.

After unpacking a bit I thought I’d look for some people with similar sleeping rhythms, so I started making my way to the Dutch neighbourhood. On my way there I came through the D’ni Musicological Research ‘hood, where a demonstration of D’ni music was going on! It’s great to see that explorers are still researching on such a wide spectrum of subjects. Although I only came in for the final piece, I took some footage of it which I’ll be posting soon (uploading to YouTube from here is taking FOR EVER).

After the demonstration had ended, I went on to find my fellow countrypeople, chatting in the ‘hood when I arrived. It was a great reunion. We talked about old times, new people…

When our group dispersed I met Tess, Tom and Umgenni at the pub, where we had a few drinks (too many?), courtesy of Tom’s smuggling skills. I was informed that there’s a guy who imports stuff from the surface at a small price, and apparently he’s done some laptop power set-ups before. I’ll have to try and seek him out, see what the details are.

As for today, I’ve mostly been reacquainting myself with the cavern, finding out who’s distributing food, and so on. Hopefully I’ll get a permanent power/internet source soon, and then I can start thinking about Writing.
