She would have still uploaded them. But the transmission clearly cut off before we could see what happened now. There was a long lag between when Robin linked in and when she did.

I suppose after all the dust settled from the Weapon going off, the book could have landed there, but... that seems like too much of a ridiculous coincidence. I worried if maybe Sirrus or someone else did it... she still has her communicator though.

Did I somehow miss you mentioning before this that Quid linked in posthumously?

Oh, no I hadn't mentioned it. It was in the upload, though in hindsight it would've been a lot easier for us here on Myst to notice that part.

So Poque and FL, what ever happened to Kash? FL and Kash linked there at the same time and then ??????

There's been no sign of Zulea in here. We can see a body at the lighthouse, though, and have a sinking feeling it might be her. We will let you know :smug: if you fulfilled your wincon :smug: after the action phase.

The body isn't Zulea, as from what I can tell it's male. But I can't yet investigate it from where I am.

So, the body is an old guy. He's the same race as the old guy who was in electric jail back in Mechanical. Every other body in here is the same so it seems that the guy in Mechanical was originally from Stoneship.

We haven't found any signs of life.

I wonder if it could be Emmit. Once you do get a chance to investigate, keep an eye out for any possible imager numbers in particular. Hopefully the "reminder" we're looking for wasn't just in his head.

Did they kill off literally every last person mentioned in these journals...?

There are probably a hundred bodies scattered around Stoneship. It was a slaughter.

Remind me (no pun intended) who Emmit is? We're looking for the numbers for sure.

Emmit was a boy who lived in the area you're standing in now, described in the Mechanical journal. Originally he lived there alone with one friend named Branch. They'd be older by now, but probably not "old" old, if this body is similar to the old man from Mechanical. Atrus mentioned visiting them after 10 years to see them more grown up, and wanting to check in again later after 10 more.

Atrus helped Emmit and Branch construct the lighthouse. Not with The Art, but with their hands. It started attracting more visitors their way. But a hundred...?

In any case, Emmit would have still been alive when Atrus hid the Rime book. He said he would leave one of the reminders "with Emmit in Stoneship"

Well, the note we're talking about is more of the same. Thought it might be more effective to see the original, though. It's more writing like this from Achenar, which we found in the observatory. It said he was sorry about our Captain, but didn't remember his name. Or anything else. And that "he didn't want to but then he made me"... This part was repeated quite a bit.

The last part has been weighing on my mind though. It said "I hate Sirrus, but I hate this new 'friend' even more. I already miss Father."

I don't know what he means about this friend, but I wondered if it could have been Zulea...?

I believe we may need another person in Stoneship to help out with the puzzles. So far, we have one person keeping the power on and one person pressing buttons, but it's really hard for us to see the effects of the buttons that are being pressed.

Also, yeah, do you have more details on Zulea's death?

I don't have details other than I felt the loss of her life. I learned fl's background through the same type of feeling back in the statue garden

It appears in some of the journals. Another person Atrus knew from one of his Ages. I'll need to look up the details again, though. In the meantime, any context clues you could give me?

Selenitic folks - we found that our puzzle required 3 people in the Age, but Corn was able to set some stuff up and now only need 2. Are you in a similar situation on your end or do you think you have enough people?

Max

We can handle the main puzzle here on our own, I think. The communicator thing was like, a little extra puzzle but not the main event.

Who is currently on Myst that would be checking the info please?

By that I mean, who would be looking at the imager if I gave out the dates?

With the creation of the first few channels, despite all the excitement over it, two things have become clear:

"Deadbeat Dad" is still alive.

Zulea O'hara, lone survivor of the first expedition and the only one of you who could positively identify Captain Daniels, aka "Kashuno," is dead.
