A Doctor in the House
March 19th, 2022
Just met a newcomer to the cavern, and he’s a doctor. Dr. Tiernan Quinland, MD, to be exact. He tells me he’s set up a clinic in one of the hoods for injured explorers. This is such a good idea–why has no one done this before?
In other news, from what I’m reading on the forums and hearing in the cavern, we’ve got some thieves and saboteurs–or maybe just pranksters–in the cavern. Some personal belongings have gone missing, and apparently both Calum and Jules have had run-ins with people pretending to be restoration workers. Uniform, fake ID, the whole thing. I haven’t had a chance to talk to Calum about it yet, but I will.
I found Murry and Anathaea viewing Kerath’s Arch again, and brought up the issues. That’s actually when the good doctor showed up. I’ll leave the chatlog here.
(03/19 19:34:30) Chat.log started…
(03/19 19:34:33) Carl Palmner: Shorah Anath!
(03/19 19:34:40) Carl Palmner: And others 🙂
(03/19 19:34:47) Anatheia: Light auditing?
(03/19 19:34:53) Carl Palmner: Where you folks at?
(03/19 19:35:06) Anatheia: Half way down the Great Staircase.
(03/19 19:35:15) Carl Palmner: Oh…there…
(03/19 19:35:23) Gents: Just looking at some numbers, going over the books, I say light because I’m not here to get anyone in trouble. No one’s job is at risk.
(03/19 19:35:31) Carl Palmner: Shorah Gents
(03/19 19:35:48) Carl Palmner: Shorah Murry
(03/19 19:35:48) Gents: There’s a few questions about where the money is going, but, hey, it’s weekend. We don’t gotta talk about work.
(03/19 19:35:53) Gents: Shorah, all!
(03/19 19:36:17) Carl Palmner waves hello
(03/19 19:36:17) Anatheia: .shorah Tiernan Quinlan
(03/19 19:36:29) Gents: These stairs are a hike.
(03/19 19:36:32) Carl Palmner: You guys like this view, huh?
(03/19 19:36:35) Anatheia: LOL
(03/19 19:36:42) Anatheia: I love this view.
(03/19 19:36:48) Carl Palmner: Kerath’s Arch is pretty great.
(03/19 19:36:56) Anatheia: I think that it’s probably the best in the city proper.
(03/19 19:37:16) Carl Palmner: Give me second. While I’m here, I want to go pay my respects.
(03/19 19:37:18) Anatheia: This is a good spot for the Night Crew to gather as well.
(03/19 19:37:39) Carl Palmner kneels down…
(03/19 19:37:46) Anatheia: Do you need help getting up here, Gents?
(03/19 19:37:49) Carl Palmner bows
(03/19 19:38:01) Gents: I do. My knees just aren’t the same after climbing up all those steps.
(03/19 19:38:05) Anatheia: LOL
(03/19 19:38:08) Anatheia: Follow me.
(03/19 19:38:34) Carl Palmner: You folks ever visit the memorial in there?
(03/19 19:38:36) Anatheia: Up here, Gents.
(03/19 19:38:48) Anatheia: Yes, I make a trip in there quite frequently.
(03/19 19:38:58) Carl Palmner: You miss her too?
(03/19 19:39:30) Anatheia: Ummmm…It’s just nice to pay respects to all of our comrades who have gone on.
(03/19 19:39:47) Carl Palmner: Yeah. I only knew a couple others besides the kid.
(03/19 19:39:53) Anatheia: Who are you paying respects to?
(03/19 19:39:57) Carl Palmner: Wasn’t right, what happened to her.
(03/19 19:40:00) Anatheia: Okay, Gents.
(03/19 19:40:00) Gents: Okay, I made it.
(03/19 19:40:01) Carl Palmner: You know.
(03/19 19:40:02) Carl Palmner: Wheely.
(03/19 19:40:08) Anatheia: RJ to the light post.
(03/19 19:40:42) Carl Palmner: Oh, hey
(03/19 19:40:43) Gents: My connection is lagging!
(03/19 19:40:48) Anatheia: 😦
(03/19 19:40:50) Gents: These jumps may have to wait.
(03/19 19:40:52) Carl Palmner: You guys haven’t had anything go missing, have you?
(03/19 19:41:05) Anatheia: .shorah Cody Herd :-))
(03/19 19:41:10) Anatheia: Like what?
(03/19 19:41:13) Carl Palmner: Journals, Linking Books, that kind of thing.
(03/19 19:41:13) Gents: I shall soon return. Eagerly await my arrival!
(03/19 19:41:22) Anatheia: Bye Gents.
(03/19 19:41:23) Cody Herd: hi guys
(03/19 19:41:27) Carl Palmner: Shorah Cody
(03/19 19:41:55) Carl Palmner: Anyway, apparently some stuff has started going missing.
(03/19 19:41:56) Murry: Sorry had to take a call.
(03/19 19:42:06) Anatheia: What kind of stuff, Carl?
(03/19 19:42:10) Carl Palmner: They think there might be some thieves or pranksters in the cavern.
(03/19 19:42:32) Carl Palmner: Um, let’s see…Diranda had a journal go missing. Calum had some stuff disappear.
(03/19 19:42:50) Carl Palmner: Oh, and some suspicious folks have been showing up among the restoration workers.
(03/19 19:42:59) Carl Palmner: Meddling with things. We don’t really know why.
(03/19 19:43:04) Murry: Diranada told me me she lost her journal and items in Great Zero.
(03/19 19:43:12) Carl Palmner: Yeah! That.
(03/19 19:43:26) Anatheia: I’m not sure that I understand.
(03/19 19:43:33) Carl Palmner: And Calum had a hold weird thing happen with someone infiltrating one of the work crews.
(03/19 19:43:50) Anatheia: That’s strange.
(03/19 19:43:51) Murry: Calum told me that he also confronted an imposter .
(03/19 19:43:58) Carl Palmner: It’s on the forum–dniexplorer.com/forum
(03/19 19:44:14) Carl Palmner: Yeah. That’s what I read on the forum, Murry.
(03/19 19:44:18) Carl Palmner: But she got away.
(03/19 19:44:21) Anatheia: I’m afraid that I haven’t been keeping up so well the last few days.
(03/19 19:44:35) Murry: She had a fake ID.
(03/19 19:44:46) Carl Palmner: Yeah. It’s definitely worrisome.
(03/19 19:44:46) Mir-o-Bot is linking to ErcanaCitySilo for at least 1.0 minute(s)… PM me “link” to follow me.
(03/19 19:44:58) Murry: Cal also got a bump on his head for it.
(03/19 19:45:00) Anatheia: What do you mean by “a fake ID”?
(03/19 19:45:09) Carl Palmner: Anyway, all I’m saying is, keep your personal stuff on your Relto.
(03/19 19:45:11) Anatheia: Oh my word!
(03/19 19:45:12) Tiernan Quinlan: Ah, good evening folks.
(03/19 19:45:27) Carl Palmner: Yeah, he’s okay, though.
(03/19 19:45:29) Anatheia: Hello Tiernan
(03/19 19:45:32) Carl Palmner: Shorah Tiernan!
(03/19 19:45:34) Murry: Dr. Quinlan I presume.
(03/19 19:45:40) Carl Palmner: Doctor?
(03/19 19:45:58) Carl Palmner: What kind of doctor?
(03/19 19:45:58) Tiernan Quinlan: Oh, word must spead quickly in the cavern nowadays.
(03/19 19:46:14) Tiernan Quinlan: Medical, general practice. Retired.
(03/19 19:46:23) Tiernan Quinlan smiles.
(03/19 19:46:27) Carl Palmner: Oh, cool. I don’t think there’s a lot of medical folks down here.
(03/19 19:46:27) Tiernan Quinlan (I’m on the surface, be back in a minute):
(03/19 19:46:33) Carl Palmner: But there really should be.
(03/19 19:46:36) Carl Palmner: Easy to get injured here.
(03/19 19:46:39) Carl Palmner: I’m Carl
(03/19 19:46:46) Carl Palmner offers his hand to shake.
(03/19 19:46:49) Murry: Especially Calulm.
(03/19 19:46:53) Tiernan Quinlan: I thought that might be the case.
(03/19 19:46:56) Murry: Calum
(03/19 19:47:06) Tiernan Quinlan shakes Carl’s hand.
(03/19 19:47:11) Carl Palmner: Calum’s ok.
(03/19 19:47:29) Carl Palmner: He just bumped his head. He was at karoake earlier today.
(03/19 19:47:30) Tiernan Quinlan: I’m planning to set up a small medical clinic, for just that kind of situation.
(03/19 19:47:39) Carl Palmner: That’s great, doc!
(03/19 19:47:55) Mir-o-Bot is linking to Hood for at least 1.0 minute(s)… PM me “link” to follow me.
(03/19 19:47:57) Carl Palmner: There’s bound to be an unused Hood you can use.
(03/19 19:48:04) Tiernan Quinlan: Heh. You can call me Tiernan or ‘Tenny’. Doctor Quinlan was my father.
(03/19 19:48:14) Carl Palmner: Gotcha. Tenny.
(03/19 19:48:20) Tiernan Quinlan: I’ve found one already, thanks fo a few new friends.
(03/19 19:48:41) Carl Palmner: Cool. Shoot me an invite to it. If I ever get hurt I’ll know where to go!
(03/19 19:49:04) Anatheia: Perhaps you could advertise its opening in the Messenger’s Pub.
(03/19 19:49:15) Carl Palmner: Hey, that’s a great idea!
(03/19 19:49:16) Tiernan Quinlan: Please do. Feel free to message me if any of you get hurt or need a medical opinion.
(03/19 19:49:28) Tiernan Quinlan: Oh, they’d let me do that? Well now!
(03/19 19:49:29) Anatheia: Thank you, Dr. Quinlan.
(03/19 19:49:36) Murry: Shoot Calum one too. He’s been messing with some weird crystals I hear.
(03/19 19:49:39) Carl Palmner: You know how to get to the Messenger’s Pub, Tenny? Not the old one–the newly renovated one.
(03/19 19:49:51) Tiernan Quinlan: Yes, I’ve just been there, exploring.
(03/19 19:49:59) Carl Palmner nods his head
(03/19 19:50:05) Anatheia: Is it still decorated in green?
(03/19 19:50:13) Tiernan Quinlan: Sad I missed the party.
(03/19 19:50:22) Anatheia: I did as well
(03/19 19:50:22) Tiernan Quinlan: Yes, rather amusingly so.
(03/19 19:50:38) Murry: Shorah HenryMikel
(03/19 19:50:40) Anatheia: .shorah HenryMikel :-))
(03/19 19:50:48) Carl Palmner: Shorah Henry! Been a few days.
(03/19 19:50:51) Tiernan Quinlan: Ah, well on Thursday I was busy bringing down some equipment.
(03/19 19:51:17) Anatheia: Oh? I hope that you found a place to store all of it.
(03/19 19:51:25) HenryMikel: Shorah Murry .Shorah Anatheia
(03/19 19:51:47) Carl Palmner: No Shorah for me Henry? 😦
(03/19 19:52:00) Tiernan Quinlan: I have them stored in my new neighborhood. Locked up, since apparently we have some pranksters running about.
(03/19 19:52:01) HenryMikel: Shorah Carl…
(03/19 19:52:05) Carl Palmner: lol
(03/19 19:52:15) HenryMikel: trying to catch up on all the Explorers
(03/19 19:52:19) Carl Palmner: Yeah–we were just talking about that.
(03/19 19:52:26) Mir-o-Bot is linking to Relto for at least 1.0 minute(s)… PM me “link” to follow me.
(03/19 19:52:29) Anatheia: Well, I do hope that the pranksters are apprehended and dealt with appropriately.
(03/19 19:52:30) Carl Palmner: Apparently somebody’s been stealing some stuff.
(03/19 19:52:45) Tiernan Quinlan: A new friend of mine mentioned her research notebook was missing. And a gentleman, Dr. Lavisham, also mentioned some indicents.
(03/19 19:52:45) Carl Palmner: And someone was trying to sabotage some restoration work. Have you met Calum, Tiernan?
(03/19 19:53:13) Tiernan Quinlan: Not yet, but I would very much like to take a look at that bump on the head he took.
(03/19 19:53:20) Carl Palmner: I didn’t know Jules had run into anything questionable.
(03/19 19:53:41) Tiernan Quinlan: He mentioned your friend, Calum’s incident.
(03/19 19:53:48) Carl Palmner: Makes me a bit nervous.
(03/19 19:54:15) Tiernan Quinlan: Oddly enough, I had a bit of an encounter with a similarly attired person. I called out to him but he ran off.
(03/19 19:54:30) Carl Palmner: I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more cohesive community in the cavern than I do now. Hate to see someone trying to mess up paradise.
(03/19 19:54:42) Carl Palmner: Fake work uniform?
(03/19 19:55:03) Tiernan Quinlan: Yes, a workman’s outfit.
(03/19 19:55:21) Carl Palmner: Hmmm. Calum and Kelsei should up their security.
(03/19 19:55:56) Tiernan Quinlan: Not a bad idea. I’ve medicines and so forth that shouldn’t fall into inexperienced hands.
(03/19 19:56:42) Anatheia leans left
(03/19 19:56:46) Carl Palmner: Back during the Second Uru, Laxman and Kodama never would have put up with infiltrators.
(03/19 19:57:12) Tiernan Quinlan: It is odd. Has there ever been anything like this occuring in the past?
(03/19 19:57:35) Carl Palmner: Don’t think so.
(03/19 19:57:50) Carl Palmner: The DRC kept a pretty tight ship.
(03/19 19:57:54) Murry: How have you been HenryMikel?
(03/19 19:58:03) Anatheia: It’s nice to know that you’re keeping such a close watch on things in the cavern.
(03/19 19:58:11) Anatheia: I’m feeling much safer already.
(03/19 19:58:40) Carl Palmner: Cal is. Kelsei too. I’m not really involved with the restoration. But I try to keep my eyes open.
(03/19 19:58:53) Anatheia nods her head
(03/19 19:59:44) Carl Palmner ‘s pocket beeps.
(03/19 19:59:45) Tiernan Quinlan: Well, I’m down here for good, as far as I’m concerned. So I’ll be more than happy to help out.
(03/19 19:59:51) Carl Palmner: Oops, that’s my alarm.
(03/19 19:59:55) Carl Palmner: I gotta run.
(03/19 20:00:05) Anatheia: See you around, Carl.
(03/19 20:00:08) Anatheia: Take care!
(03/19 20:00:12) Tiernan Quinlan: Ah, well. It was nice to meet you, Carl.
(03/19 20:00:17) Carl Palmner: Stay safe, guys! Keep your stuff locked up.
(03/19 20:00:22) Murry: Bye Carl
(03/19 20:00:29) Thumbs up from Tiernan Quinlan
(03/19 20:00:31) HenryMikel: Bye Carl
(03/19 20:00:33) Carl Palmner: You, too, Tenny! I’ll drop by the clinic sometime just to see how things are going.
(03/19 20:00:34) Anatheia: Good idea. Thanks for the warning.
(03/19 20:00:37) Carl Palmner waves goodbye
(03/19 20:00:44) Carl Palmner: Shorah for now!
(03/19 20:00:49) …Chat.log stopped.
