Hmm in retrospect it might not be possible to get there today. I'll be on Rivenin then.

I have no idea why people are coming back here.

Varban's roots were a core component of age structure and are now gone.

We're getting hit by earthquakes.

The age is not going to last unless something drastic happens.

Like I said, small chance but real. It should only take a day or two to look into...

Actually, screw it, I'm just going to be a little more open in the broadcast. I have been informed (and not just by Saya, by someone who knows) that it is possible to patch the Understructure and stabilize Riven. It would require a massive massive amount of building grade materials, of the sort you would make a house out of (Or say... a castle). They need to be present on Riven, so the waste of rocks in 233 is out.

If anyone knows the location of such a thing, or even thinks they may know, please tell me.

I was typing in a hurry and this came out wrong. I meant someone who knows what and how. Saya knew it needed done before the rest of us, but didn't know how.

There's nothing on Tay that will help us live any longer. Our options are go to 234 and wage a war or repair Riven. Most of us are a bit tired of war

Wait is Tay already out of supplies?

I thought we'd have at least a few days to see if Final Rush could work.

Tay isn't out of supplies, there's just nothing to help our people as a whole live much longer. As has been said, it's a life raft at best. If we cram all the refugees in there, it'll be crowded and people will starve.

But I think I've come to a realization since earlier. I still want to know if anyone has seen abundant construction materials (basically raw stone/wood/etc of building quality) just in case, but I think I have an answer.

I suppose this is the last day, isn't it?

I've not much left to do. I'll go to Tay because, I don't know, it seems like the place where decisions are being made and I want a seat at the table.

sniper4625: Sep 26, 2009; Loyal to the hEnd

To my brother Rhenn, as ever full of surprises.

As this may be the last time we speak, I wanted to thank you. Thank you for being willing to take in an errant Ekvilibrian youth, thank you for coming for me after I had been Betrayed, thank you for being a peacemaker to the end.

With regards to what happened on Tay - I regret it all very much. I did not believe I had hidden my intentions to link straight through, and indeed having been on Rivenin to the end was unaware that the Book would be under guard. Once the Engagement began, I gave strict orders to disengage and retreat - for what it's worth, I intended no violence that day. I should have known you would step in almost immediately to quell the tensions after my departure. I can only ask that you treat my followers who were unable to join us well - they are good men, and loyal, acting always at my direction.

But it is what came next that shocked me to my core - it is not every day that a Loyalist finds out his own adopted brother is a highly placed Moiety figure: a leader of the very organization I have spent so long fighting. For the love I bear you, I hope we never meet again.

Farewell, brother. May you keep the people of Riven safe, wherever they eventually end up.

This may be something of a longshot, but... the Great Tree is... was... quite sturdy, was it not? Certainly given its scale I'd imagine it had to have been stronger than a normal tree. Even the bomb merely knocked it over.

Well since a loyalist linked in to 234...who even knows anymore.

The security of #general is probably shot now.

The whole thing is a huge clusterfuck here, nobody can figure out what's going on.

Nothing like "Oh, coming here is pointless we've already got it sorted/there's nothing to do" or "Yes, please come here we need help" It's just "Nobody knows what's happening and that's it"

You are supposed to be leaders and legends. Yet the combined force of all 6 strangers on Tay is just a shrug and sigh?
