my god, what a mess.

By the time Marie and Kodama arrived, they were flocked by scores of returning explorers. As soon as I saw the first face, I had to rush down and turn off all my generators. I had no interest in my peace being interrupted by weekend archaeologists. Extremely flustered, I attempted to calm myself by writing out Rule 6 several times in my notebook. It reminded me of doing lines as a child which, when done voluntarily, are actually quite soothing.

I won’t go into the details, but I have had to slowly move my meager comforts to a new location within the Cavern. There is no way to continue where I was without risking eventual discovery. Luckily, the few times through the last few years that I have been out on the lake, I was actually able to find a livable space in one of the nearby islands.

I briefly considered moving into K’Veer, the beautiful architecture has always pleased me greatly. However I rather quickly decided against it. It is still a popular destination for explorers and while I’m sure I could find a room or hallway out of the higher traffic areas in which to set up, the risk would still be too great. Aside from that, the place still has a horrible energy to it. The hairs on the back of my neck stand up any time I visit.

No, I have found a suitable, yet sadly smaller space barely within eyeshot of the harbour. I will miss being able to look out the windows and see Kerath’s Arch, but so be it. I need to be able to run my generators without fear of alerting anyone. There are still several items I have yet to collect from my old quarters in the harbour, but the little punt I’ve been ferrying my belongings in carries very little, and is quite frightening to travel in.

My internet connection in this new space is much worse. I am going to have to place several more signal repeaters throughout. I should have asked William to bring me some. I’m still concerned about the spike in activity. It’s only a matter of time before someone finds that there is a wireless signal. I am concerned by the thought of the increase in visitors forcing the DRC into revisiting and locking down their routers.

Perhaps I should spend some time moving the repeaters away from Ae’Gura…

A Gentleman must always be patient. A Gentleman cannot allow himself to act rashly or make a decision without proper consideration. All of his actions must be weighed. All possibilities considered.
