Thread: Adonis Dam breakthru.. sort of.

    Adonis Dam breakthru.. sort of.

    A group of RUR engineers were cleaning up one of our research locations for the currently idle Adonis Dam project.

    While moving a stack of tents, apparently one of their bots dislodged a large boulder, opening some form of drain. Since this location was under the metawater, a large number of RUR's senior R&D staff was sucked out along with the metawater.

    There is no danger in the Adonis region, as the boulder was pulled back into place.

    However, RUR is seeking any information leading to the location of the missing engineers. While we are still getting lifesigns from the team's gear, we have been unable to find their exact position. Any assistance would be appreciated, as it appears all our BOD representatives were among those sucked out of the Adonis area, and we need them to attend the next meeting...

    You can try building some prototype that mimic your BOD representatives. No worries if it blows up during meeting, you'll have more time for search and rescue action.

    As for missing members...is there any chance they have landed in Ergo's subterain cave network? Where are signs coming from? Rubi-Ka or Shadowlands?

    What do you offer for spending time finding your people? Not that I'm greedy.... ahem... well I am.... anyway... the data must have some value for you...

    I suppose you already tried to trick them back by saying the RUR coffemachine no longer requires any credits ?

    Thumbs up We are on the way!!

    Argenteum Astrum will send out search teams at 18:00 RKST sunday July 27. Meeting up in the garden of Dalja
    Anyone wanting to help out are welcomed to send a tell to my comunit on that day or earlier, and show up.

    We have been searching Penumbra and Inferno, thinking it was the air conditioning system that failed. Knowing they are in Adonis we will concentrate our forces there.
    We suspect that they are without means for communicating, as none of the messages send to them has been replied.

    Kind regards
    -Pearlie "Ariensky" Wright

    PS. I am not available Saturday, so messages send that day will first be answered Sunday.

    Thanks for all the offers of help!

    We'll be sure to round up all the RUR employees we can and bring along some cases of RUR cola to pass out to the search teams !

    The team's telemetry signals still seem strongest in Adonis, although we have picked up signals in the oddest places, around shadowlands and Rubi-ka.

    Someone speculated they're caught up in some 'metawater eddy' somewhere under Adonis, that drains onto RK somewhere, similar to how people who 'fall' off the shadowlands end up back on RK, and our people are just too big to fit out the draining end...

    If you oil us, do we not purr?
    And if you ignore us.......... Do we not get ideas?

    At last!

    RUR is happy to announce the return of our engineers. Unfortunately, it was not due to the work of all the wonderful volunteers who gave their time in rescue attempts, but simply by the Reclaim system.

    When asked about their experience, the engineers stated "it was dark we moved too damn fast, and why is everything still spinning?"

    The engineering team has been taken back to RUR HQ for some rest, relaxation and debriefing.

    "What do you mean; 'those are not our RUR-engineers' ? I have seen them with my own eyes. I've talked to them. They are our missing RUR-engineers!"

    "I'm realy sorry boss, but they are realy andruplicates. We had beta-versions made from RUR employees. They are robots. But don't tell them. they think they are the real bunch themselves.."

    "But the BOD-reps told me they wanted to go to the BOD meetings again!"

    "We'd better find the real engies then, don't we?"
