3:12
to Rob, Jedia Care, Bobby,
3:15
Maggie, and Lillobarry for supporting us.
3:17
We really appreciate it. Okay,
3:20
let's get this Ostium Sagas episode started, shall
3:22
we? The
3:50
Ostium Sagas. Sixty-two,
4:04
five of three, sixty-six million
4:07
years ago. The court
4:09
has ended. Half of them. So
4:49
it took me a few days, but I think I'm
4:51
happy with the five questions I've settled on. But
4:54
I think I'm happy with the five questions I've settled on
4:56
to ask half court, by the conclave team
4:58
going into the great pyramid of Giza. It
5:01
took me a couple days because I kept changing my mind
5:03
on what I wanted to ask and what the correct phrasing
5:05
was, so I had to keep editing. Sort
5:08
of like when you get your three wishes from a
5:10
jinn and you need to make sure you ask exactly
5:12
right, otherwise the jinn is going to seriously screw you
5:14
over in some way. Obviously
5:17
the ramifications aren't exactly as severe and decisive
5:19
in this case, but I want
5:21
to make sure I'm asking the right question in a
5:23
way that I get the answers I want, so I
5:25
don't confuse half court and or waste his time, and
5:28
therefore my time. I'm also very
5:30
excited to get started with the next Aussie and
5:44
the next saga. And for the sake
5:46
of limiting redundancy, instead of telling you those questions
5:49
now and then having half court repeat them in
5:51
his message, we're just going to go
5:53
straight to his reply. Sound krishti? Good.

To Steve Chase at
6:02
hotmail.com from Al Harcourt
6:05
at Marquette.edu Subject,
6:08
Some Inner Workings Dear
6:10
Steve, From the tone of your
6:12
last message, you appear to be in some
6:14
sort of hurry or wish to receive answers
6:16
to your questions in a timely manner. Therefore,
6:18
I will attempt to be as terse and
6:20
informative as possible, though I will remind you
6:22
that I am a history professor and this
6:25
will not be an easy task. That
6:27
was a joke, by the way. Question
6:31
1. How hard was it
6:33
for the Conclave to gain unrestricted access
6:35
to the Pyramid Complex? I
6:37
researched this matter fully and came to the following
6:40
conclusions. This was the 17th
6:42
century and as for the treasures
6:44
of Egypt, it was
6:46
at a quasi-lull as regards to tourism
6:48
and interest. Within two
6:50
centuries and the sweeping colonization across
6:52
the globe, this would all change
6:54
and the Complex would become
6:56
one of the more popular places to visit on
6:59
Earth. The Conclave was able
7:01
to secure access with relative ease. See
7:03
also my previous message on the Conclave's sway
7:06
with governments, as you have no
7:08
doubt surmised. In
7:11
answer to your second question, there
7:13
was a stipulation with the Conclave
7:15
that they would never recklessly pillage
7:17
sites that were visited, which certainly
7:19
went a long way to reassure
7:21
the governments and grant them necessary
7:23
unrestricted access. What is that
7:26
powerful line the DC superhero Wonder
7:28
Woman repeats often, with great power
7:30
comes great responsibility. And yes, yes,
7:32
you can probably tell I am
7:34
somewhat of a comics aficionado. Question
7:39
3. Had the Conclave visited the Pyramid
7:42
Complex site before? Yes,
7:44
many times. Being such
7:46
an important location, Conclave agents have
7:48
been dispatched there every 20 or
7:51
so years to observe any possible changes, to
7:53
see if anything new could be learned. This
7:56
is the same approach applied to many, many sites
7:58
around the globe, as far as I know. know
8:00
it continues to this day. Did
8:07
the Conclave find anything else of interest at
8:09
the Pyramid Complex? They
8:11
did not find anything further of particular
8:13
interest, which essentially means they found exactly
8:16
what they expected to at a particular
8:18
location, other than the Journal of the
8:20
Third Austin Saga. However,
8:22
I can provide you with some further details
8:25
that were not given in the Author's End
8:27
Note from the Austin Saga. There
8:30
was some further analysis done on the
8:32
Journal centuries after its discovery in the
8:34
Great Pyramid and after the
8:36
recording in the Austin Sagas. One
8:39
could say an update should be made to the book,
8:41
but it was agreed long ago that
8:43
the tome of the Austin Sagas would
8:45
never be altered or added to due
8:48
to its significance as an invaluable artifact
8:50
and a historical object. What
8:52
the analysis confirmed was that the
8:54
Journal was made of materials that
8:57
had no known equal, meaning
8:59
they are unique and uniquely from
9:01
the future. Every
9:03
ten years a new analysis is done on the Journal,
9:05
though we have yet to fully comprehend what
9:08
the material composition truly consists
9:10
of. Small grains
9:12
of dirt were also found in the
9:14
cover of the Journal, and they were
9:16
analyzed and dated to match natural material
9:18
that existed before the arrival of the
9:20
asteroid that wiped at the dinosaurs. And
9:26
for your final question, you wish to learn
9:28
more of the former keeper of the Austin
9:30
Sagas as Mirelda. Alas, if
9:33
I were to provide you all their details, it
9:35
would take me many weeks to record, so for
9:38
now I will impart you with a
9:40
few choice tidbits. She
9:42
is the longest serving keeper of the Austin
9:44
Sagas so far, having held the
9:46
position for 91 years. In
9:49
that time she added a total of
9:51
five new Austin Sagas to the collection,
9:53
including the third Austin Saga. She
9:56
is, naturally, one of the most respected keepers
9:58
to ever grace the position. user
