| I was at the Great Zero, as I had received a tip that something would happen in the "cavern," and worried that the Great Zero might be at some risk. I was monitoring the reports from the DRC Town Hall and read the report of Kadama’s distress. Shortly thereafter, I also heard the loud Bahro scream and was forcibly linked out to my Relto (after a brief detour to a strange land I’ve heard others refer to as "desktop"). I did not notice any change in the operation of the GZ as I was linking out, but cannot vouch for its condition after I left. |

I don't think the city's going to be in any bad shape when we get back, but I'd stay away from it just the same... at least for a little while. I want to hear from the DRC on this issue.

The implication of this is significant, I think. The Bahro (assuming it's the Bahro) can link hundreds of people simultaneously with no visible mechanism or interaction. Even if those people are in different Ages.
You know what that means? That means that no matter where you are, what universe you are in, if a Bahro wants to come get you, there is nothing to stop them.
I have no idea what the intent of the action is. But the scope is staggering, and concerning. |

Its a borderline, if not a fully terrifying, ability.
Thats before you even begin to consider some of the horrific places you could be forced to against your will. |

Wow that is a frightening thought, I wish we can hear from them what is really going on, the only person who I think could probably know better than us is Yeesha as she seems to be able to communicate with them, I hope we hear from her or the Bahro somehow.
Or even, what if there is a reason besides power that they were enslaved by the D'ni, that without this control, the Bahro are... dangerous.
Or perhaps they are just not as united as we think they are, much like people, there could be bad apples or different factions, maybe even extremists.
I want to know what's really happening as none of us have ever heard of this happening...

Is there evidence that explorers in different Ages were linked back to their Relto? I've heard of people in Ae'gura, the hoods, and myself at the Great Zero, but those are the same Age, of course. |

I think others were in ages and in the Nexus and also got linked to relto. So far haven't heard of people in Relto getting linked to relto tho

It is certainly concerning, and one more reason why we need to learn more about who the Bahro are. I hate to sound paranoid, but "simple oppressed race of creatures" isn't a sufficient explanation when dealing with this kind of power.
Anyway, if you've heard the recording of the scream/link event, download it again. Robert The Rebuilder was able to talk with people who heard the scream and identified the exact sound, and he's fixed his video. It's an even creepier sound. The filename is xBahro_PainScream02.wav. That may help indicate the reason for the scream and subsequent linking.
Here's the video -- download it again: http://www.bergen-hill.com/rtr/dmala_linkout_screech.wmv

I too would like to hear from Yeesha... or Phil.
This thought, that the Bahro might be dangerous has occured to me before, when it did I felt guilty. What could we have been unleashing? Not just our own world or our own Age but every world and every Age on the Great Tree. So I trust in Yeesha and hope that she knows a whole lot more than she is letting on, because what else is there to do when you think such things? |

Yes! That is the sound I heard. Very scary.
I'm going with Dan's thought...the Bahro aren't dangerous (my words) based on the fact that we were all linked to Relto. Anything less and everything that has come before would paint me quite the chump. I'm nowhere near ready for that. So for now, my outlook is that the Bahro removed us from harm's way. I expect things to be quite different in the City when next we all meet.

Cycreim did look pretty pale today when I saw him in the hood. I hope he is OK. The event scared me a bit also, but I think I was more in awe of such power. And that power is not controlled by the DRC, Yeesha, or us. But by the Bahro. We have heard the cry of the least.

Wow. I'm not the happiest with the DRC, but wow. If ever it happens, then you can call me naieve. But the only people who will try to enslave/forcibly control the Bahro are explorers and perhaps some of the D'ni survivors.

I don't fear them because they're alien. I fear them because we know so little about who they are and their motives.

I was in a Nexus node. Not only was I linked out, but I heard the tap-tap-tapping of Bahro feet before I was linked out. I went to turn around (I'm in an enclosed space, so they had to have been very close) but they linked me out before I was able to turn around completely.
To put a damper on people's theory that the Bahro were saving us: What possible danger could there be in Ae'gura, the Nexus, the hoods, the Great Zero, Kadish Tolesa, Teledahn, Eder Gira, Eder Kemo and Gahreesen? Because AFAIK the Bahro did not discriminate. If you were in one of those locations, the Bahro linked you. IMO there isn't any danger that could affect all of those locations. |

Well... clearly the Bahro didn't mean to Harm anyone, as far as I've heard, no one was hurt.
If the intent was not meant to harm, we can assume perhaps that is was meant to help. That assumption may be a little broad, but well worth consideration.
I don't know what danger could have affected all the various locales and Ages that would not also affect Relto... but just because we can't imagine it does not make it impossible.
Did you ever imagine that touching a book could take you someplace else before the first time you experienced it? Quite frankly, if THAT is possible, I'm willing to believe that anything is.

Maybe they're preparing something to show us something...
Tomorrow. Find your Journey shirt. Let's go into the city. We'll see if they're, uh, willing to talk?

No, but then I'm not saying that. I'm saying they did it as a show of force. This was just a threat. A display of power. Next time we might not be so lucky.
And if I'm wrong I'll be the first to apologize. But I do doubt there was danger. I really do.
