I fear that Shang Li has been lost to us. When I contacted him last evening, he was low on air and I gave him instructions on sealing off the underwater temple that he had spoken of. He has yet to respond to my messages. I do believe that he has been slain. If not by his enemies, for I believe he was quite successful in stopping them, that he was killed in either the explosions or when his oxygen supply ran out.

Master Li, for I do believe you have earned the title of Master, you brought a quiet wisdom to our ranks and you will be sorely missed. It is my fondest wish that you are finally at peace with your loved ones and that the wisdom you tried instilling in us is never forgotten.

This must be why Mr. Greydawn left in such a hurry.

Um, guys I think Mr. Greydawn is going to find Mr. Li or try to anyways.

I hope he finds Shang Li. Or at least recovers his remains so we cna lay them to rest.

Me too, and if anyone can do it it is Mr. Greydawn.

I am sorry for your loss. Mr. Li was an asset without compare to the metaphysics and national history departments here at Todai.

I belive that I will miss his tea even more than his insight into the minds of our ancestors.

Forgive me of my rudeness, I am Nakamura, Kei. Doctor of anthropology and archaeology here at Tokyo University, hwhere I am persuing PhDs in metaphysics and xenobiology. Before he boarded the RSV Todai Maru 2, Mr. Li told me that the people here would be able to help me further my research. He also hinted that I may be able to help some of you in your own fields.

I have a file here of approximately 20Gb that was uploaded into the reaseach folder on the Todai Maru 2, that I belive may hold the answers to what the research team discovered. This data is unfortunately encrypted, and whoever did the encryption knew his or her business well, I have been unable to brute force the encryption even with access to the Todai mainframes.

I would also dearly like to know why Mr. Li was so insistant on providing security for the dive team when all I asked him for was his opinion on the sonar and video of the new section of ruins that we discovered last summer.


Domo Arigatto for your assistance in this matter.

Oh man, not Shang.

I got to meet him up in Maine a few weeks ago and he was a really cool guy.

I wish you well Master Li, whatever road you walk.

Instead of a dirtnap, he takes a waternap. How very zen of him.

Another one bites the dust.

Just SHUT UP! I *ahem* don't want to hear you *ahem* insulting anyone, especially not the dead! *ahem* I put up with having to listen to you *ahem* spewing your shit on these boards *ahem*, I talked *ahem* and tried to REASON with you, I came and tried *ahem* to figure out a way to stop you without anyone dying, and failed, and while GS is still fine, the problem here is, YOU ARE, TOO! On *ahem* top of this, my co-worker seems to think I'm crazy, and seems bent *ahem* (damn it!) on insulting me in whatever way possible! While I'm not entirely *ahem* sure if I want you dead or not, I sure as hell don't want you walking the streets like the whore you are to continue to hurt people. God DAMN you've *ahem* (shit!) really got me pissed off, Bass, so just keep your mouth shut!

Whoa there Zack, calm down. Believe me, I know that the Voice can get to you, but remember that he fled like a little pansy. At least that's what you and Shadow keep telling me.

May you finally rest in peace
Master Li. Your wisdom and teachings will live on in all that were touched by you.

He never liked being called 'master'.

We butted heads a lot, but that is no measure of a man. I butt heads with pretty much everyone.

Gone but not forgotten.

Amen.

I remember when he told me about it back in March. I was anxious to know its true meaning, too.
