Yeesha's Army

I know I have a tendency to rant. I need to control that. So, I'm going to try to make this as clear as I can. I'm need to try and have people understand my fears before it is too late.

Yeesha's Journey is about bringing the Bahro to Uru. I don't think there is any doubt about that. With every set of pillars returned to the Bahro cave, more Bahro are brought into D'ni. No one is disputing the horrors that the Bahro were put through by the D'ni before the Fall. We have seen the evidence of their mistreatment ourselves. So, at first, it seems that allowing the Bahro to return to Uru is a noble gesture on our part.

But look at what is happening. A few months ago the Bahro killed two Explorers. One they kept cruelly captive until they brutally murdered her. Some folks want to believe that this didn't happen. That somehow the Bahro were framed. Wake up folks! This did happen.

Shortly thereafter, we received news through Mr. Sharper that the Bahro were at war. Some Bahro are seeking revenge at any cost (they don't seem to care whether the people they harm had anything to do with the D'ni or not), while the others are more benevolent about our presence. Some are even sacrificing themselves to protect us Explorers.

There is obviously some nobility in the Bahro, but here's the problem. The good Bahro are in the minority - and they're losing. Mr. Sharper's most recent information makes that abundantly clear. And here we are, blissfully continuing Yeesha's Journey, returning Bahro pillars to Uru and bringing them right to us.

And this is the point I want to make perfectly clear. Most of the Bahro we bring to Uru want to KILL US! What the HELL are we doing!?

So what do we have to do?

1. Stop returning the Bahro pillars! That should be a no-brainer.
2. Prepare. The war is coming whether we like it or not. Douglas Sharper seems to be the only person that can see what is going on and we need to listen to him.

The good Bahro are losing folks, and when that line of defense is gone, we have to decide whether we are going to abandon Uru or are we going to fight for it. That is the ugly truth.

I say we fight!

And where does Yeesha fit in? What was she doing conning us into bringing the Bahro into our midst when she had to know that most of them would be set on destroying us. She had to know that most of the Bahro weren't ready to be given the freedom to decide. The plain truth is that most of them are deciding to kill.

Perhaps that is what she wanted. Either is she is blissfully ignorant or calculatingly malicious. You decide, but one thing is for sure - she is immanently powerful. Whether ignorant or malicious, she is someone we should be fearing, not following like hapless sheep.

Please, people. Wake up!

Shaper Returns And It Looks Like War!

I was so discouraged with getting no support that I dropped out of the cavern for a while. Perhaps my attempts to get people's attention with dramatic titles were over the top and made me look like a nut - I don't know.

But Sharper returned a couple of days ago from Nobolen after killing a Bahro. He insists that its a war and we are going to be drawn into one way or another so we need to pick a side. Obviously, the side that is just curious about us and not trying to kill explorers would but the one I would pick.

It saddens me that abuse that Mr. Sharper receives. The man is the greatest hero in Uru and yet small minded people can't seem to see that. Sure it would be great if we could all live happily together, but it is clear that the Bahro - or a least a faction of them - are going to make that impossible.

Either we decide we are going to make Uru our home and fight for it, or we pack up and head for the surface, permanently!

I've made the Guild of Truth public again, but no more meetings. If you agree with me, or at least are open to the idea that Sharper may just be doing the right thing, then reply here (with your KI#) or send me a PM in cavern.

Disappointed

I would say that folks aren't ready to hear what I have to say, but that would imply that they heard me at all.

A grand total of one person visited the Guild of Truth over the few days it was open. Needless to say, no one was at the intro meeting. I've set another meeting for Wednesday but this doesn't mean anything if people don't visit the 'hood to find out what it is about.

I gotta keep working to keep it on the public list in the Nexus. Hopefully, word will get around.

If no one signs on by Wednesday, I may be forced to start ranting in the Ae'gura. Something I'm not looking forward to.

Guild of Truth

It's begun, at least for me.

Yesterday I came out of the shadows in Uru and made a statement. I created the Guild of Truth, posted my message on the viewer there and a link to this blog. I made the 'hood public and left a another message that there will a information/recruitment meeting on Sunday, 17:00 KI Time.

If people aren't willing to listen, then I have to try and make them listen. In the end, though, if everyone is simply willing to follow Yeesha blindly, at least I can't be accused of sitting by idly.

Either way, I will know whether I stand alone on Sunday.

Quiet No Longer

I've been in the cavern for well over a month now, though I suspect not many people have noticed me. I started this journal not long after first meeting Yeesha (well, her hologram really - like so many others) and asking myself, just who is this person? Where does she come from? What are her motivations? She wants us to help the Bahro, giving us some story about how they were abused by the D'ni and how what was taken needs to be given back, but why does she want this? What is in it for her?

I don't like half truths and withheld information, and have never trusted people that operate this way. Needless to say, the warning bells went off with Yeesha, and I thought they would for others too, but obviously I was wrong. The VAST majority of the growing population in the cavern mindlessly follow the crumbs that Yeesha throws before them, slowly returning more and more totems to the Bahro, gradually increasing their power - and to what end? The scary truth is, none of us know.

And what did I do about this growing threat? ... Nothing!

I did absolutely nothing while the ignorant multitude - which even include members of the DRC - blissfully help Yeesha in her schemes. Well, no longer! Someone has to speak out. The tragic events of the past couple of days say that clearly. A young explorer, Willow "Wheely" Engberg, is slaughtered by the Bahro in Ae'gura! The Bahro indiscriminately slaying uncounted animals in Nagilahn and almost killing Douglas Sharper! The Bahro warring with one another with us in the middle!

I say no more! Do not complete Yeesha's quest. Retain the totems in your Relto. Do not give them to the Bahro. If Yeesha wants our help then she better damn well start providing us with some answers, and if we are going to help the Bahro gain unprecedented power, then they had better demonstrate they are more than simple, savage, beasts.

I am not won for advocating war, but if I'm going to be thrust into the middle of one, you can be damn sure I want my side to win.

Spread the word!
