Chapter 3 ! Beginningthe DRC’s employees—important people like Douglas Sharper andPhil Henderson—were converted to Yeesha’s cause.The result of all this disunity was that the First Restoration failedand the DRC returned to the surface in defeat—all except theirleader, Dr. Watson, who remained behind and, disillusioned anddisappointed, embarked on his own spiritual journey. The lastevidence of his activity was a journal he left in the shaft leading toD’ni from the surface. You can still read it in the place now calledDescent.Watson’s journal in Descent (photo courtesy of Ainia)Our story truly begins during a time when there was no “official”activity in the cavern. I say, “official,” because many continued tohear Yeesha’s Call and arrived surreptitiously to take her Journeyon their own, each to free one of the Bahro from slavery.Eventually, those who were still coming to the cavern found eachother, and the four remaining members of the DRC returned as well.They had no money, so for a while there was no Restoration.Explorers contented themselves with visiting areas already opened,and with speculating on unresolved mysteries. The most popularquestions revolved around the whereabouts of Yeesha and Dr.Watson, who both seemed to have vanished.We come now to the important day: December 19, 2006.It was the day of the Great Scream.You see, our story begins with a scream. A scream so loud and sopowerful that it was heard in every Age, heard all over the cavern,heard everywhere there were ears to hear it.It was, of course, the scream of a Bahro.!32!
