I’m disturbed by the noises I am still hearing in the Cavern. I haven’t heard a Bahro cry, so I doubt it is them. Could it be other people? Could there be other people attempting to bring life back into this place? Or even to learn The Art?

If so, why in my months of exploring the City have I never encountered anyone?

If by some coincidence there were other explorers that had read the fine print on their exploration contract and interpreted it the same way I did, I suppose it would be possible to keep their access to the Cavern.

The question remains: If there are others. Should I seek them out or keep myself hidden?

Of course, all this speculation is probably pointless. I’ve caught myself talking to myself very often. I’m sure I’m simply imagining a populated Cavern to keep from loneliness!
