00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,200
Dr. Watson: Hello? (tapping mic) Test... test. Victor, are we on? Okay. (clears throat) Okay, then.

2
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:19,000
Dr. Watson: Hello, everyone. Um, thanks to Victor we've gotten some additional D'ni technology working.

3
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:28,600
Dr. Watson: It should be quite useful in sending messages here from the Tokotah to the numerous neighborhoods as one more way to keep you informed of how things are progressing.

4
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,400
Dr. Watson: Um, let me begin by once again welcoming newcomers to D'ni.

5
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:43,800
Dr. Watson: We're very pleased to have you. I know I've spoken with a few of you in person, but to those of you I haven't met yet: Welcome to the restoration.

6
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:50,000
Dr. Watson: The DRC and restoration engineers have been working very hard to put things in order.

7
00:00:50,200 --> 00:01:01,800
Dr. Watson: As you've probably noticed various areas of the island, Ae'gura, have been opened over the past few weeks, uh, with quite a bit more scheduled over the next few days, weeks, and months to come.

8
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,400
Dr. Watson: We're also working on opening up several new Ages.

9
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:15,800
Dr. Watson: Um, we know that many of you have been given access to Ages that haven't gone through any kind of process yet, and we certainly do not encourage use of any unapproved Books.

10
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:25,600
Dr. Watson: But w-- uh, let's just say that with your safety uppermost in our minds, we're pushing to approve those Ages just as quickly as we can.

11
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,400
Dr. Watson: Oh, and several of you have asked what you can do to help with the restoration effort.

12
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:40,800
Dr. Watson: As you may already know, the D'ni KIs have the ability to determine their precise location here in the cavern as well as in other Ages.

13
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,600
Dr. Watson: Much of this functionality is governed here in the cavern by the Great Zero.

14
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:53,400
Dr. Watson: Victor has recently succeeded in getting portions of the Great Zero functioning again, but he tells me it still-- still needs to be calibrated.

15
00:01:53,800 --> 00:02:01,800
Dr. Watson: We'll soon begin to focus on another island area: the Ferry Terminal and its associated docks.

16
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:09,800
Dr. Watson: We actually had some restoration engineers do some diving and they found a sunken boat that we hope to raise at a later date.

17
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:15,600
Dr. Watson: Before that, however, we will inspect the docks and approve them for public access.

18
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:23,800
Dr. Watson: Uh, let's see... um, yes. Outside the cavern, Gahreesen continues to progress nicely. 

19
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:31,400
Dr. Watson: Victor, it seems, recently made some discoveries that'll enable us to open up more of the interior space, uh, the Wall is what we call it.

20
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,600
Dr. Watson: Members of our team are also working on another Age that should be opened within the next few weeks. Perhaps we will post some pictures.

21
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:47,600
Dr. Watson: I'll end by addressing some peculiar events that have been occurring.

22
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Dr. Watson: Odd stones, books, cloths, and pages have been reported appearing from time to time.

23
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:07,600
Dr. Watson: Rather than insist, probably unsuccessfully, that you not use these oddities, the DRC will for now simply wash its hands of any consequence arising from their use.

24
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,600
Dr. Watson: In other words, if you use them, you do so at your own risk.

25
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:17,800
Dr. Watson: We will continue to remove these artifacts if they're found, but so far that has proved fruitless.

26
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:26,400
Dr. Watson: But... sorry to say it this way, but anyone involved in the placing of these books will be banned from the cavern.

27
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:35,200
Dr. Watson: But to end on a good note, thanks for all the continued help, to all of you, and patience as D'ni slowly begins to grow again.
