Zo’ro-Argh sentait le poids des années sur ses épaules. Mais le souvenir de ses recherches interrompues et des collègues disparus lui paraissait encore plus lourd. Ne fut-ce que pour les amis perdus, il ne devait pas renoncer à son combat. Il fallait qu’il y retourne, il fallait faire renaître la N’ASA. Il s’y était trop investi pour abandonner. Et d’autant plus que ce centre de recherche portait en lui plus qu’une montagne de savoir. Il portait aussi les piliers pour toujours découvrir ce qu’était l’homin et l’aider à aller plus loin, toujours plus loin dans la sagesse, et dans le bonheur qui peut en découler.
Il but sa chope de byrh, se redressa ignorant les craquements de son dos et sortit. Il claqua des mains pour appeler quelques izams messagers et leur accrocha des messages d’invitation pour quelques vieux compagnons et complices.
Quelques jours après, une petite équipe fut reconstituée. Comme le stipulaient les règles de fonctionnement de la N’ASA, il y avait au moins deux homines et deux homins, et les quatre nations étaient représentées.
L’un de ces compagnons lui proposa de faire des affiches à placarder partout par l’entreprise trykette de parchemin en série. Hélas ! l’entreprise avait aussi disparu. Alors, il ne lui resta plus qu’à inventer une nouvelle méthode. N’était-ce d’ailleurs pas dans les compétences de la N’ASA de trouver de nouvelles solutions ?
Il en trouva deux.
La première fut de remettre un tract aux personnels de NH qui a l’avantage d’être présent partout sur Atys. Peut-être même qu’ils accorderaient une réduction pour le voyage vers le Bois d’Almati.
La seconde fut de lancer des flyners avec des tracts qui tomberaient au hasard partout sur l’Écorce. Bien sûr, ces tracts seraient réalisés avec des matériaux qui se disperseraient dans n’importe quel type d’écorce sans la polluer.
La deuxième solution mettait plus de temps à se réaliser. D’abord, il devait attendre l’autorisation des botanistes qui attendraient le bon moment pour préparer les quatre flyners, un par nation. Puis, il fallait préparer les paquets de tracts et aller se poser quelque part dans la canopée pour les jeter aux quatre vents.
Enfin, le jour était arrivé pour annoncer la première réunion de « résurrection » de la N’ASA. Il fixa même l’heure la plus accessible pour tous les homins. C’était donc fixé pour le 20h - Dua, Floris 8, 3rd AC 2628(*).

Contenu du tract

Invitation à l’inauguration d’une N’ASA rénovée le 20h - Dua, Floris 8, 3rd AC 2628(*).
Tous les homins chercheurs y sont invités, quels que soient leurs domaines de compétences en sciences, en littérature, en hominité… tout.
Au cours de cette assemblée, nous étudierons ensemble comment mieux partager notre savoir et mieux le conserver pour que d’autres chercheurs s’en servent comme échelon dans le savoir.
Venez tous, ou si vous ne pouvez pas, soyez représenté pour la suite de l'aventure.

I asked ChatGPT to create a summary from the transcript which Nilstilar graciously provided. I'm not sure whether I should prepend it to the transcript in the Great Library. What's your thoughts?

Initial Exchanges and Greetings

Welcoming Nilstilar:
Zorroargh invites Nilstilar to join them by the fire, with mixed reactions from the group.
Eloan expresses discontent at Nilstilar's presence but clarifies his mistrust of Matis is habitual and not personal.
Kyriann acknowledges Nilstilar as a friend of the Trykeri.

Discussion on Research and Kitins

Azazor's Research:
Azazor reports on his experiments with kitins, specifically the kipees and kinchers, noting that there is no significant difference in damage based on where they are hit. However, he observes that some body parts are more frequently targeted due to their accessibility during combat.
The group discusses potential reasons for these findings, with Ostium and others suggesting further investigation.

Broader Kitin Study:
Azazor shares a detailed chart on the vitality points of different kitins, inviting others to contribute data.
The conversation touches on the possibility of observing kitin behaviors, like their interaction with other creatures and their territorial nature.

Cultural and Literary Interests

Interest in Literature and Storytelling:
Kyriann proposes exploring homin sciences and literature, with Zorroargh supporting the idea.
The group discusses the significance of preserving tales and their evolution over time, considering this as a potential area for research.

Lighthearted Moments and Social Dynamics

Humorous and Casual Exchanges:
The group frequently engages in light-hearted banter, such as joking about Krill being a bait for kitins and Eloan jesting about her retreat.
The dialogue also includes some playful comments about the firewood quality and the warmth of the fire.

Exploration of Luciography

Aerial Photography (Luciography):
Ostium brings up the concept of aerial luciography, which involves sending a photographic device into the air to capture images from above.
Kyriann and others express interest in this novel idea, though there are concerns about practicality and safety.

Conclusion

Closing the Meeting:
As the conversation winds down, some members start leaving, expressing gratitude for the discussions.
Ostium and the remaining members reflect on the topics covered and consider future explorations and research projects.

Overall Themes

The conversation is a blend of serious scientific inquiry, particularly into the biology and behavior of kitins, and cultural exploration, coupled with a playful social dynamic.
The group displays a strong sense of camaraderie, despite differing opinions and the occasional mistrust among certain members.
There is a notable interest in both practical, empirical research and the preservation and study of cultural artifacts like tales and literature.

In spite of some "kittens", I'd have only on word (digit!): +1

Personally, I distrust chatgpt like the plague. It's visceral. More "argumentative", I see several biases:
- A summary is necessarily made by a character, so there's interpretation (toning down this point, exaggerating that one). So unless we say that our character is the AI's, it doesn't add up.
- Or maybe it's a "neutral" summary, not by a character but by the player. But in that case, you'll have to reread the one done by the AI, because it's far from neutral. The neutrality of AIs is a well-documented myth. This is particularly true here, with the emphasis placed on end-of-event trivia and the arrival of Nilstilar (sorry, it's nothing against you ;) ), which take up as much space as the serious discussions at the start.

Dear Akenak,

I confess: it's not impossible that my own positive assessment of Elke Miko's initiative was influenced by her greeting to my “gracious” contribution.
The fact remains:
— my distrust of “generative pretrained transformers” (who's the trainer?) equals yours (I've never even used one);
— the work carried out on my transcription is an attempt to write a summary, more easily readable and comprehensible (even if sometimes faulty) than a heap of minutes piling up lines and didascalies, but, like all summary work, it is forced to make choices;
— as I was planning to do the exercise in question “by hand” (since I broke my promise to do it for the previous meeting as well), ChatGPT get me out of a tight spot; let's not forget that the ideal homin of Matis people (and, in any case, mine) is a joking, even libertine and, above all, idle aristocrat);
— your contempt for “odds and ends” and your reverence for “serious discussions”, I (like our “returnee” Eloan) am far from sharing: reverence reserved for our Librarian President, I believe (much to your dismay?) that Atys is (and must remain) a place of play and joy, not of “head-scratching”;
— in my opinion, it is precisely Nair Zorro'argh, who is responsible to the Web for our Great Library, who is entitled to decide what can and cannot be published there.

Jena be with you!
