  1. It is Leefo 1, 9667, otherwise known as the D'ni New Year. .hahr rahm gah shoraht
  2. Mr. Davis and Mr. Mason are having rhetorical altercations due to different research styles. They remind me of an elderly married couple.
  3. Research continues apace. Ms. Lakem is busy mapping parts of the city that an old man with a bad back cannot reach.
  4. Returning from my long hiatus: http://tinyurl.com/2fb8b3x
  5. Busy examining the books I found in Ansholt'ahn. It may be a while before I have any results.
  6. Ah finally, a library. Fully stocked. Interestingly enough, the covers of the books seem to have deteriorated more than the paper itself
  7. It is much easier to explore with a functioning urban lighting grid, I must admit. The skytrams seem to be operative as well.
  8. The functional condition of the machinery here is suspicious, given the general appearance of age and neglect. Who was maintaining it?
  9. Well, that's interesting. I seem to have turned on the city in general. Public lighting is now operational, as are elevators.
  10. I think I've accomplished something. Flipped some toggles in the service tunnels and now the tunnel lights are operating.
  11. Back into the service tunnels today.
  12. @Gidea1 My associate, Mr. Davis, has rigged up an interface which bridges the KI lattice and the internet. I'm unsure of the details.
  13. I've found something operational. Some of this machinery seems to have power. What sort of technology is still working after this long?
  14. Discovered a passage, it looks like a service tunnel of some sort. Looks clear, so I am going to investigate.
  15. @zarfeblong Would those be 'twages'?
  16. Communicating via Twitter is wreaking havoc on my use of English. Please excuse me when I bow to the harsh master that is 140 characters.
  17. @zarfeblong No linking books. Records of some sort.
  18. Ah, now we will be getting somewhere. Found some sort of archive - dozens of books. Very well preserved. Doesn't feel like paper, however.
  19. @Gidea1 Maybe linking to just get across town was seen as unnecessary?
  20. I've discovered the purpose of the mysterious pillars. They seem to be supports for an extensive sky tram system. Looks like public transit
