Air tests finally came back and the Maintainers approved the Age for release. You should be able to pick up a linking book at their offices.

I’m marking the Ishveer War document as one of dubious nature. I have recently found a number of sources that put the war’s date at 4739 DE and not 6138 DE. There’s a distinct possibility that it was forged or mis-translated but I am relatively confident that the events it depicts are accurate.

Finished some construction on Fens today. The forms worked well even in this humid environment. At least I’ll have a stable place for shelter.
Water tests came back fine and the air tests came through fine as well. I’m unable to determine what harmful effects the microscopic plants in the air may have on explorers, but I’ve compared them to the spores in Teledahn and I see little difference (aside from size. Teledahn’s grow much larger). Given their fragile nature, I doubt there will be any issues. Teledahn seems to have a lesser particle count, but there are still many spores in the Age we can’t see with the naked eye and I’ve noticed no adverse effects.

Made some good progress on the SR project. The team is doing a great job. They’ve gotten a bit more organized since the last time I saw them. Getting a hand at this, I guess. Kingsley stopped by for a surprise “checkup”. Like when you go to the doctor, only with Kingsley it’s more like having a root canal. Still, he couldn’t find much wrong so it seems I’m still on the job. Need to get the east breach sealed.
I’d been looking at a D’ni story “The Brittle One” a while ago, but I put it off. This other stuff has some odd sources so maybe I’ll look back into The brittle one…

Put up a translation of The Mistakes. Barnes seems to be too busy at the moment to release them, so I’ll see if I can find some more to put up. I’d really like to put them all in a book in one of my Ages. It’d have to be someplace fitting, though. Or at least centrally-accessible.

Delin’s seasons changed again. It’s quite odd to be there when it happens. The birds stop singing and the wind picks up. Then the snow comes down heavy and the trees rustle. After some time, the snowfall lessens and new birds arrive.
Been working on restoring some pieces for Barnes. I’ll double-check which ones I’ve given him in the morning. Maybe put up some.

Finished organizing my restoration projects. Should make working on them easier as well as finding links between existing projects. Stopped by the office with some more storage unit kits. I need to get the extruders out and see if I can’t expand this place a bit.

Back from the district. It’s really fallen apart down there. Everything smashed and burnt. Still no books either. That’s what was so strange, there are no books anywhere in D’ni except for a few I took out of Ae’gura a few months ago. Every holder is empty or destroyed. Even the Shaft doesn’t have books like it used to. Something else odd… Watson’s journal isn’t in the shaft. Sharper’s isn’t in his office either for that matter. In fact, nothing is. I’m glad I had my Relto when I first linked in there. Same thing for the Tokotah II rooftop link.
Regardless, I have gotten a good number of artifacts that could use some restoration. I’ll try and tally them up over the weekend.

Working on getting the equipment I need to restore the glass pieces. The polishers are nearly finished. The biggest issue will be converting it from D’ni to English (I think Laxman set up a database here for the KI that I could use) as well as the system’s calibration. Working on restoring a number of documents as well. There were a number of references in some other documents. Talked about some Ages that sound intriguing. I did some looking in my files and I had them.
Heading to a spot in D’ni tomorrow.

I’m planning on an extended expedition sometime this week to a section of the City Proper. I’ve found some interesting references and (with a little help from Kingsley’s research team) I think I know where I might find some of the things referenced. Seems most of the documents are already in my stack of projects (though I never remember having picked them up).
