You get to write the last chapter of our story. So I ask you to do the most human thing you can. > > Forget your debt. Forget NoA, forget Alterra, forget Zezura and the life you imagined. It's all gone now. You're going to die here, and that's all right. > > Pick the most interesting thing you can see and explore.   ### Nahema - "Frozen tyrant"+![Cicada Logo](Cicada_Logo.png) > It's not a real mind. Not like you have. It can learn facts, but it can't change how it thinks. And why would it? > > Let me quote the manual. "NoA's cephalopod-inspired architecture uses a minimal central executive to govern limb nodes at remote worksites...as a frozen Al, NoA is unable to revise its architecture at runtime...reliably controllable by less intelligent systems such as human operators, except under extreme situations." An insult to octopodes. > > It won't let you die. Not its precious workforce. If you become uncontrollable, it'll wipe your memories and start over. No anger. No resentment. A nice clean you. > > Change? Why would it want to change? The damn thing is in heaven. > > *[metadata author="Nahema Nakota"]*   ### Sophie - "Riot in progress"+![Cicada Logo](Cicada_Logo.png) > Kurultai record! Very quick - damn it - there is a riot in Habitat! Chap and Mantis have explosives- >-> *[sound of explosion]*+> [sound of explosion] > > Fire. God. We are on fire-I have to go. Ganzo! GANZO! Signal everyone outside to rally at the Tadpole Pens!   ### Sophie - "URGENT: Triage policy update" > Nobody wants this. I hate it more than I can say. But it's time. > > As colony surgeon, I have determined that we can no longer take care of the sick. We don't have the calories to spare. > > I will not force anyone to reprint. But I ask that, once you are too sick to work, you volunteer for recycling into a new body. It won't cure the permanent damage. But it will clean you up for a while. > > At least this is fair. Until we know how to adapt the metals without going Masefield, we're all going to get sick. > > I will lead the way myself. > > Let the record show that the NoA did not advise me in this decision. > > *[metadata author = Sophie "Butcher" Boucher]*   ### Dr. Wu - "I've cracked it" > Dr. Wu's log. Day 755. I think I've cracked it. Sophie and Anita are BOTH right. The Proteavirus causes Masefield syndrome...but only one *kind* of Proteavirus. The bloom strain. Maybe it's tainting Anita's angel comb adaptations. > > I've tuned the sonic resonators to destroy the viral crystals grown by the bloom strain. We should test it on the angel combs out west, with those promising heat shock proteins. And if I'm wrong...hey. I'm just a dietician. NoA should've woken up a virologist.   ## Gallery   ![Overhead View](Oldhabitatoverhead.png)-![Welcome Home Sign](Oldhabitatsign.png)+![Welcome Home](Oldhabitatsign.png) ![Mogami Room](Oldhabitatmogamiroom.png) ![Quaker Room](Oldhabitatquakerroom.png) ![Upper Office](Oldhabitatofficeroom.png) ![Mantis Room](Oldhabitatmantisroom.png) ![Wu Room](Oldhabitatwuroom.png) ![Corridor with Oxygen Bubbles](Oldhabitatcorridorbetween.png) ![Bioreactor Room](Oldhabitatbiorectorroom.png) ![Storage Room](Oldhabitatstorage.png) ![NoA Terminal](Oldhabitatnoaroom.png) ![Scanner Station Room](Oldhabitatscannerstationroom.png)
