Was anyone hurt?

Some exciting stuff! Pod56 nearing completion, Keith looking at Descent, work on another cavern island.

I hesitate to say it, but an off-site backup location also gives us extra security in case something catastrophic happens in the Cavern or individuals with less-than-honorable intentions look to cause trouble with a D'ni location. It doesn't have to be very big or ostentatious, just enough to hold ...

That makes sense. None of us would ever have reached D'ni if we had to use the Great Shaft and the path. She had to give us another way.

Would we prefer a location in the city away from the hustle and bustle? Or are we talking about another "off-site" location in case all hell breaks loose in the cavern?

And you're an old-timer, too!

With the recent announcement of Doobes' departure, I know resources of all kinds are stretched really thin right now. I don't have that kind of ...

Oh wow. Losing Dulebohn is major blow to the Restoration. That's a lot of infrastructure, knowledge, and work to pick up, some of which is irreplaceable. I hope that whatever's happened will eventually settle and, whether or not we see him again, he finds peace.

Is there a way we as a community can ...

Shorah, everyone.

As a kid, I heard the stories. An ancient underground civilization, mighty and proud, brought low by hubris and tragedy. A lone survivor, his spouse, their two children, and a MYSTerious island where "dreams are as portals" and books could take one to new, fantastic places. I ...
