_________________________________________ / -Komodo Dragon Press Conference- \ | -June 10, 1998- | | Recorded & Edited by Aubrey McMichaels | \___http://pages.prodigy.net/aubreymcm/___/ [Police Department] You see Detective Superintendent Jules Tilson. He has some navy blue dress slacks, a white button-down shirt, a Cambridge school tie, a pair of black dress shoes, a black trenchcoat and a gold wristwatch. You see Terry Cline. She appears to be in her mid-thirties. She stands 6 feet and 7 inches tall and has a trim build. She has tan skin, short curly brown hair and blue eyes. Terry seems to be in a thoughtful mood. She looks perfectly healthy! Terry Cline is wearing a pair of khaki pants, a pager, a PBR communicator, a waterproof watch, a snake stick, a cloth collection bag, a cotton t-shirt with "National Herpetological Society" printed on it, and a pair of sturdy leather boots. You see Emerson MacIrnsley. He appears to be at least an octogenerian. He stands 5 feet and 11 inches tall and has a very thin build. He has ruddy skin, short thinning black hair and grey eyes. He has a handlebar moustache and a scar on his face. He looks perfectly healthy! Emerson MacIrnsley is wearing a pair of tan pants, a pair of work boots, a dark green jacket with Royal Moradian Zoo printed on the back, a PBR communicator, a tan workshirt, and a backpack. Jules Tilson whispers something in Emerson's ear. Jules Tilson says, "As usual with any conference, please keep movement down to a minimum. Emerson MacIrnsley nods to Detective Superintendent Jules Tilson. Jules Tilson says, "Thank you all for coming." Jules Tilson says, "I would like to introduce Emerson MacIrnsley and Terry Cline. Terry Cline smiles. Emerson MacIrnsley nods. Jules Tilson says, "I'll now turn the floor over to them." Jules Tilson smiles. Emerson MacIrnsley shakes hands with Jules. Emerson MacIrnsley says, "I thank you all for coming this evening." Emerson MacIrnsley says, "I certainly wish I had better news to deliver." Emerson MacIrnsley says, "A situation has come to my attention, with the assistance of many of you." Emerson MacIrnsley says, "I am going to explain a bit about the situation and then allow Terry to answer some questions." Emerson MacIrnsley says, "As many of you know, some animal bones have been found recently." Emerson MacIrnsley says, "These animals are species native to Morada." Emerson MacIrnsley says, "This in itself is not extremely shocking." Emerson MacIrnsley says, "However, with the recent findings in the jungle, I decided it was time to hold a press conference." Emerson MacIrnsley says, "An individual has disappeared from Morada." Emerson MacIrnsley says, "The hiker's backpack and shirt have been found in the jungle." Emerson MacIrnsley says, "Samplings have proven that they do indeed belong to the individual in question." Emerson MacIrnsley says, "And, samples of the clothing have revealed saliva on the shirt." Emerson MacIrnsley says, "This saliva has been found to be that of the Komodo dragon." Emerson MacIrnsley says, "We were expecting a delivery of a Komodo. It never arrived." Emerson MacIrnsley says, "When the bones showed up, and then a person ended up missing, I became concerned and spoke to King Matthew." Emerson MacIrnsley says, "He authorized me to have a consultant come in, Miss Terry Cline." Emerson MacIrnsley says, "Terry can explain to you a bit about the Komodo and the risk involved here." Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Terry?" Terry Cline nods. Terry Cline smiles. Terry Cline says, "thank you, Emerson" Terry Cline says, "Well, I guess the best way to begin is to tell you a little bit about what we're dealing with here" Terry Cline says, "The komodo dragon is a dangerous, and aggressive reptile. They're big, they're agile, and they're smart, so that means extreme caution MUST be taken in tracking it down." Terry Cline says, "Now Varanus komodoensis is not--and I repeat--- IS NOT the ever popular Godzilla. This is the largest lizard in the world, a type of monitor lizard, but nothing at all like Godzilla" Terry Cline grins. Terry Cline says, "The King is extremely worried about finding what appears to be evidence of the hiker, and doesn't want anyone else to fall prey to this animal" Terry Cline says, "This means that no one needs to be tracking it down by themselves. Please, I cannot stress this enough -- there is safety in numbers." Terry Cline says, "If you find any suspicious tracks, please for your own safety DO NOT attempt to hunt this animal down unless you have the proper training." Terry Cline says, "The best course of action would be to let either myself or Emerson know immediately." Terry Cline smiles. Terry Cline says, "If you are attacked, or even come CLOSE to the jaws of this reptile, get to the emergency room as quick as possible. " Terry Cline says, "If you're lucky, and manage to escape somehow, the saliva in the mouth of the komodo is extremely toxic, and an agonizing death from secondary infection is almost a certainty if left untreated." Terry Cline says, "and maybe even if treated" Terry Cline furrows her brow. Terry Cline says, "The bacteria present in the saliva of the komodo are extremely virulent strains, and several have no antidote" Terry Cline says, "The local hospital has been notified of what's going on, and have prepared as best they can for the worst possible circumstances" Emerson MacIrnsley nods. Terry Cline says, "If there are any questions about the investigation or the animal we're up against, we'll be happy to try to answer them now." Jules Tilson nods. Terry Cline smiles. Lisa Stone raises her hand. Summer Matthews raises her hand. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Lisa?" Lisa Stone asks, "you said if we are not trained?" Terry Cline nods. Terry Cline says, "the animal is very dangerous" Lisa Stone asks, "what training should we have?" Terry Cline says, "if you've not had experience with one before, then the best advice I can give you is not to learn the hard way" Chance Nevada chuckles. Lisa Stone nods. Terry Cline smiles. Emerson MacIrnsley says, "This is one of the reasons I had Terry come in. She has dealt extensively with komodo dragons. I have not." Evie Baxter raises her hand. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Summer?" Summer Matthews asks, "I was wondering. What would be the warning signs that the dragon is in the area? does he make a noise or will you not know until you are attacked?" Terry Cline says, "they are quite stealthy, and can sneak up on you before you know it...." Terry Cline says, "you may see tracks, or you may not. They'll usually only go for something big if they're really hungry, but it would be safe not to wander alone in areas he may be in" Summer Matthews asks, "what areas is he most likely to roam?" Summer Matthews asks, "the jungle?" Terry Cline says, "I would predict, after looking over the island, that the most likely place for it to inhabit would be the jungle, yes" Summer Matthews nods. Terry Cline says, "there's alot of dense brush, lots of cover" Terry Cline says, "but still open areas for it to bask in the sun" Ichiko Daiumi raises her hand. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Evie?" Evie Baxter says, "Summer already asked my question." Evie Baxter smiles. Emerson MacIrnsley smiles. Emerson MacIrnsley nods. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Ichiko?" Ichiko Daiumi asks, "There is a small native population dwelling in the jungle. Have they been given word about this?" Emerson MacIrnsley nods to Ichiko Daiumi. Emerson MacIrnsley says, "Yes, they have." Violet Knight raises her hand. Ichiko Daiumi smiles. Chance Nevada breathes a sigh of relief. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Violet?" Violet Knight says, "If we are in a group and come across this thing, what would you suggest we do?" Emerson MacIrnsley says, "Keep away from it and contact us immediately." Terry Cline just left. * Terry Cline has disconnected. Chance Nevada gasps. He looks rather startled. Violet Knight says, "How do we contact you?" Violet Knight raises an eyebrow. Ichiko Daiumi taps a PBR communicator. Emerson MacIrnsley says, "I've given Terry a communicator, and I always wear one, too." Violet Knight nods. Violet Knight says, "Thanks." Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Are there any other questions?" Jules Tilson clears his throat. * Terry Cline joins the investigation. Crimson Beauregarde raises his hand. Larissa Milano raises her hand. Terry Cline just arrived. Terry Cline says, "my apologies" Chance Nevada smiles at Terry Cline. Terry Cline grins. Kylie White smiles at Terry Cline. Terry Cline asks, "Violet, was your question answered?" Emerson MacIrnsley nods to Terry Cline. Jules Tilson says, "Please, as I've asked before, let's keep movement down to nothing." Violet Knight smiles at Terry Cline. Violet Knight nods. Emerson MacIrnsley says, "I appreciate everyone's attendance here." Terry Cline says, "before you go, I would like to put a thought into your head" Terry Cline says, "The komodo's diet consists of anything it can catch or find. They eat big and small mammals, ranging from pigs, goats, deer, even horses and water buffalo ten times their own weight." Terry Cline says, "To put that in perspective, it would be like one of you 200 pound guys killing a one-ton bull armed only with your teeth and hands." Terry Cline says, "so please be careful out there" Crimson Beauregarde gasps. He looks rather startled. Lisa Stone nods. Jeff Goldblum nods. Jules Tilson nods to Terry. Ichiko Daiumi raises an eyebrow. Terry Cline says, "and they CAN swim too" Jules Tilson says, "We don't need any heroes out there. Let's leave this one to the experts." Emerson MacIrnsley says, "I'd like to stress exactly how deadly the saliva of a komodo is. If they don't kill you and eat you immediately, it'll wait until you die of the bacteria in your wounds." Terry Cline nods to Detective Superintendent Jules Tilson. Crimson Beauregarde shudders. Lisa Stone shivers. Raven Nyte raises his hand. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Raven?" Chance Nevada seems uneasy. Raven Nyte says, "OOC: is we die, it is not perminant, correct, we are simply transported to the hospital" Raven Nyte says, "if even" Emerson MacIrnsley nods to Raven Nyte. Larissa Milano raises her hand. Raven Nyte says, "aight" Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Larissa?" (Chance Nevada thinks the lizard would jest regurgitate him anyway.) Larissa Milano asks, "how much will it cost of this komodo or whatever.. eats you?" Crimson Beauregarde raises his hand. Emerson MacIrnsley says, "You'd have to speak to the physicians at the hospital." Emerson MacIrnsley says, "I'm just a zoologist." Crimson Beauregarde smiles. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Crimson?" Crimson Beauregarde asks, "I'm sorry for being late, but can I ask exactly what IS going on? I know this has something to do with the zoo mystery am I correct?" Emerson MacIrnsley says, "Ah, you'll need to check with your neighbors, Crimson. I do need to get back to my work soon." Summer Matthews raises her hand. Crimson Beauregarde says, "Okay, thank you." Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Summer?" Terry Cline smiles. Summer Matthews asks, "You said there is safety in numbers. Many of us hunt bounties in the jungle and spend a lot of time there. Does that mean if we have a larger group, we run less of a risk of getting eaten or attacked?" Summer Matthews asks, "In other words, is he less likely to attack a group?" Terry Cline says, "it just means that you may appear to the komodo as a much larger animal, or he may single someone out, and you can hope it's not you" Crimson Beauregarde raises his hand. Summer Matthews says, "oh...." Alexis Droma blinks. Etoile desCieux nods to Terry Cline. Terry Cline says, "more to choose from I guess you could say" Summer Matthews shivers. Alexis Droma asks, "eaten?" Emerson MacIrnsley says, "Any animal is less likely to attack a group. The lion will attempt to distract most of a herd of antelope in order to get one away from the pack." Lisa Stone nods. Larissa Milano raises her hand. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Larissa?" Larissa Milano says, "Where is this Komodo exactly? In town or what? " Emerson MacIrnsley grins. Terry Cline smiles at Larissa Milano. (Larissa Milano just got here.) Crimson Beauregarde raises his hand. Terry Cline says, "we wish we knew" Emerson MacIrnsley says, "If we knew that, we'd have it captured by now." Larissa Milano asks, "so does this mean he can eat us in town?" Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Crimson?" Terry Cline says, "I won't say he isn't in town, because they can be unpredictable..." Crimson Beauregarde asks, "Is there a certain environment the Komodo especially pertains to or normally nests?" Terry Cline says, "but I will say it would be more natural for him to gravitate toward the jungle area" Crimson Beauregarde says, "O, then that answers my question." Crimson Beauregarde snickers. Terry Cline says, "they need a place with access to dirt" Terry Cline says, "they need to be able to burrow" Terry Cline says, "they also need cover" Crimson Beauregarde gets a distant look on his face as he ponders. Summer Matthews raises her hand. Jeff Goldblum raises his hand. Terry Cline says, "but with access to the sun for basking and vitamin D metabolization" Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Summer?" Summer Matthews asks, "What do you mean by burrow? In the same way that small animals do, digging niches? or something else?" Terry Cline says, "yes, very much like that, but a much larger burrow" Larissa Milano raises her hand. Avis Eastwood raises her hand. Summer Matthews says, "So...if we saw a big hole..." Summer Matthews asks, "We should suspect he's near?" Terry Cline says, "I would say that would be a very good clue" Emerson MacIrnsley says, "Except perhaps in the cemetery." Terry Cline says, "and being territorial, I would also say it would be a good time to run, or call us" Kylie White grins at Emerson MacIrnsley. Summer Matthews nods to Terry Cline. Larissa Milano raises her hand. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Jeff?" Jeff Goldblum says, "that was my question" Terry Cline says, "they have been known to dig up the recently entombed" Jeff Goldblum grins. Emerson MacIrnsley nods to Jeff Goldblum. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Lariss?" Larissa Milano says, "okay.. Can we sue the zoo for medical bills? Its really they're fault for being careless with this animal." Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Er..Larissa?" Larissa Milano giggles. Crimson Beauregarde snickers. Emerson peers quizzically at Larissa. Kylie White begins chuckling at Larissa Milano. Crimson Beauregarde says, "That was mean." Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "How is it my fault?" Crimson Beauregarde says, "You tell em Emerson...." Larissa Milano says, "well.. you guys let it out during transport" Emerson MacIrnsley says, "This animal was never delivered to me. It fell off the boat." Crimson Beauregarde says, "Actually it broke out." Larissa Milano says, "should of been more careful" Terry Cline says, "This particular dragon was evidently intended to be a gift to King Matt from an Indonesian representative, but appears to have fallen off the cargo ship before it had a chance to dock." Terry Cline says, "I don't believe anyone here could have intervened and prevented that situation" Larissa Milano says, "yeah.. but you guys are responsibles" Jules Tilson says, "Ms. Milano, please keep your questions relevant to the problem." Larissa Milano says, "okay" Larissa Milano smiles. Larissa Milano giggles. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Are there any other questions?" Avis Eastwood raises her hand. Jeff Goldblum raises his hand. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Avis?" Avis Eastwood asks, "Would it prefer to dig it's own hole or burrow, or might it use an existing cave or tunnel?" Summer Matthews says, "whisper art let's pray it eats the village idiots first" Summer Matthews blushes a nice shade of off-pink. Alexis Droma grins at Summer Matthews. Crimson Beauregarde snickers. Alexis Droma pets Summer Matthews in a patronizing manner. Selina Paradise grins at Summer Matthews. Terry Cline says, "if there is an existing hole or burrow, it would have no qualms about taking it over" Alexis Droma says, "Better get in like then girl" Alexis Droma says, "line" Alexis Droma ducks her head. Larissa Milano giggles. Avis Eastwood asks, "and, were you expecting a male or female Komodo, and which is more dangerous?" Larissa Milano smiles at Alexis Droma. Arthur Ramsey chuckles. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Jeff?" Jeff Goldblum says, "so, if someone comes across the creatures territory, what should they exactly do? If they aren't killed" Jules Tilson clears his throat. Terry Cline says, "both are dangerous" Crimson Beauregarde raises his hand. Terry Cline says, "the answer is to run, and hope you run faster than it does" Terry Cline says, "They are agile and fast, and can charge up to 15 miles per hour...faster than most humans can run. " Larissa Milano raises her hand. Alexis Droma blinks. Lisa Stone gulps. Emerson MacIrnsley says, "And contact us via the PBR immediately." Terry Cline nods to Emerson MacIrnsley. Larissa Milano raises her hand. Jeff Goldblum nods. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Crimson?" Crimson Beauregarde asks, "If this is a female Komodo...could it be nesting?" Jules Tilson nods. Jeff Goldblum puts his pistol in his leather gun holster. Terry Cline says, "that is possible, yes Crimson" Crimson Beauregarde nods. Terry Cline says, "but we have no way of knowing until we capture the animal" Scarlett FyrreBrehm raises her hand. (Larissa Milano wonders were Mr. Komodo is.) Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Larissa?" Larissa Milano raises her hand. Larissa Milano asks, "can we shoot this Komodo?" Emerson MacIrnsley gasps. He looks rather startled. Summer Matthews raises an eyebrow. Crimson Beauregarde furrows his brow. Emerson MacIrnsley exclaims, "It's an endangered species!" Terry Cline says, "I have plans on catching this komodo alive...they are endangered animal" Alexis Droma winces expressively. Terry Cline says, "s" Crimson Beauregarde shakes his head. Larissa Milano asks, "well if its gonna kill you.. why not?" Jules Tilson says, "If you do, you will be jailed immediately." Jeff Goldblum chuckles. Crimson Beauregarde scoffs. Tara's jaw drops. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Scarlett?" Crimson Beauregarde snickers. Scarlett FyrreBrehm smiles. Larissa Milano says, "heh.. jailed for trying to save yourself.. typical" Scarlett FyrreBrehm asks, "How many were you expecting? just the one?" Crimson Beauregarde rolls his eyes. Emerson MacIrnsley nods to Scarlett FyrreBrehm. Scarlett FyrreBrehm nods. Emerson MacIrnsley says, "Yes, there are very few in zoos, we were lucky to get one." Scarlett FyrreBrehm asks, "And how big can they get?" Terry Cline says, "The largest one recorded to date was about 10 and a half feet long, and weighted 365 pounds.....that's ALOT of lizard" Crimson Beauregarde snickers. Alexis Droma blinks. Summer Matthews raises her hand. Scarlett FyrreBrehm says, "oh my" Scarlett FyrreBrehm says, "thank you" Terry Cline smiles. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Summer?" Arthur Ramsey says, "I think I'm going to need a bigger box." Arthur Ramsey chuckles. Alexis Droma grins at Arthur Ramsey. Lisa Stone giggles. Tara Jordan giggles. Summer Matthews asks, "do these dragons stand on two feet or do they rest on the ground like say crocs and gators?" Terry Cline says, "no, they stand on all fours" (Crimson Beauregarde gets a Godzilla flashback.) Crimson Beauregarde snickers. Etoile desCieux grins at Arthur Ramsey. Terry Cline says, "low to the ground" Evie Baxter raises her hand. Crimson Beauregarde asks, "So they can absorb more heat?" Lisa Stone asks, "like a really big iguana?" Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Evie?" Terry Cline nods to Crimson Beauregarde. Crimson Beauregarde nods. Evie Baxter asks, "Do you know how large this dragon is?" Arthur Ramsey raises his hand. Emerson MacIrnsley shakes his head. Terry Cline says, "sort of, Lisa, it is a type of monitor lizard" Larissa Milano says, "its 10 feet tall.. like william wallace" Larissa Milano smiles. Terry Cline says, "and no, I have no idea how big this one is, but to eat a man, it has to be fairly large" Evie Baxter nods. Scarlett FyrreBrehm raises her hand. Terry Cline says, "but not tall, no" Terry Cline grins. Crimson Beauregarde asks, "Did it actually eat somebody?" Crimson Beauregarde raises an eyebrow. Berana Gregory nods to Crimson Beauregarde. Emerson MacIrnsley nods to Crimson Beauregarde. Larissa Milano raises her hand. Crimson Beauregarde asks, "Roger Harrison?" A look of pain crosses Violet Knight's face. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Scarlett?" Geneveve Knight pats Violet on the back. Scarlett FyrreBrehm asks, "it ate him??" Crimson Beauregarde nods to Lisa Stone. Summer Matthews nods to Scarlett FyrreBrehm. Scarlett FyrreBrehm asks, "do they drag their prey back to their houses?" Violet Knight frowns. Violet Knight sniffles. Terry Cline says, "they can consume 80% of their body weight in a matter of minutes" Larissa Milano says, "now i wish i was fat" Terry Cline says, "so they don't need to drag it back to a burrow when they can eat that fast" Larissa Milano exclaims, "something moved!" Scarlett FyrreBrehm says, "wow, that's a big lizard" Summer Matthews glances at Larissa Milano. Larissa Milano gets an AVM-60 9mm pistol with a switch on it from inside her leather gun holster. Kylie White glances around. Larissa Milano searches around the room. Alexis Droma glances at Larissa Milano. Terry Cline says, "a gulp to an animal this size would be like you eating a turkey whole in one bite" Summer Matthews says, "In the script it says you wish you had a brain" Larissa Milano says, "i saw something big move" Summer Matthews says, "Stick to the script" Violet Knight says, "If it gets someone, theres no chance of them returning?" Violet Knight frowns. Arthur Ramsey raises his hand. Terry Cline says, "there is a chance, but not as good as you may hope it to be" Geneveve Knight pats Violet on the back. Terry Cline says, "it all depends on the circumstances" Scarlett FyrreBrehm asks, "so pretty much they start to munch while prey is alive?" Violet Knight nods. Crimson Beauregarde asks, "whisper vi wouldn't we all feel dumb if this thing was the size of a salamander?" Kylie White shivers. Terry Cline says, "if it can't run away, yes" Crimson Beauregarde gasps. He looks rather startled. Arthur Ramsey raises his hand. Kylie White grins at Crimson Beauregarde. Crimson Beauregarde blushes a nice shade of off-pink. Alexis Droma pets Crimson Beauregarde in a patronizing manner. Summer Matthews raises her hand. Violet Knight just tickled Crimson Beauregarde. Jules Tilson says, "Ms. Milano, would you please put your firearm away? Terry Cline grins. Larissa Milano mumbles something unprintable. Arthur Ramsey says, "Some people." Larissa Milano puts her pistol in her leather gun holster. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Are there any other questions?" Arthur Ramsey raises his hand. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Arthur?" Jason Devoid whimpers. Jules Tilson says, "Thank you" Larissa Milano rolls her eyes. Arthur Ramsey asks, "Is there a tranquilizer or other method of capturing the lizard without hurting it that we could get access to..?" Etoile desCieux nods to Arthur Ramsey. Summer Matthews holds hands with Scarlett FyrreBrehm. Emerson MacIrnsley says, "I do have tranquilizer guns, but I'm not permitted to distribute them." Snake Silvertongue raises his hand. Larissa Milano raises her hand. Lisa Stone says, "this is why we should comm immediantly if we see signs" Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Snake?" Emerson MacIrnsley nods to Lisa Stone. Crimson Beauregarde raises his hand. Snake Silvertongue asks, "May we purchase tranq guns from you?" Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Are you a licensed veterinarian?" Arthur Ramsey says, "You know, as long as we aim for the legs, we could probably shoot it without killing it." Arthur Ramsey chuckles. Summer Matthews grins at Arthur Ramsey. Snake Silvertongue says, "Well, um... No." Larissa Milano agrees with Arthur Ramsey. Emerson MacIrnsley smiles. Crimson Beauregarde raises his hand. Emerson MacIrnsley says, "By Moradian law, you need the proper licensing in order to use a tranquilizer gun." Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Larissa?" Scarlett FyrreBrehm pokes Arthur Ramsey in the ribs. Summer Matthews grins. Larissa Milano asks, "is there like a special group to be formed that is consisted of investigators from around the island?" Summer Matthews giggles. (Larissa Milano awaits Summer's remark.) Emerson MacIrnsley says, "If you find any evidence of the komodo dragon, you need to contact me or Terry immediately via communicator." Terry Cline nods. Emerson MacIrnsley asks, "Crimson?" Crimson Beauregarde asks, "Can we name him/her 'Modie' or 'Komy'?" Crimson Beauregarde shrugs. Jesse Jones blinks. Terry Cline says, "maybe we should think about catching it first, and then worry about a name" Terry Cline grins. Crimson Beauregarde snickers. Emerson MacIrnsley nods. Jason Devoid blinks. Jules Tilson says, "Please, if you don't have relevant questions then keep them to yourself." Crimson Beauregarde pouts. Crimson Beauregarde nods. Emerson MacIrnsley says, "I need to get back to work now. I appreciate everyone coming this evening." Arthur Ramsey raises his hand. Violet Knight waves to Emerson MacIrnsley. Summer Matthews seems to agree! Terry Cline smiles. Crimson Beauregarde and Emerson MacIrnsley shake hands. Summer Matthews stands back up. Crimson Beauregarde says, "Thank you." Jules Tilson shakes hands with Emerson. Emerson MacIrnsley says, "Have a good evening, and be careful out there." Jules Tilson says, "Thank you both for coming and answering questions."
