Privacy

Written by: Giles   

My connection is unstable, and has gone down several times in the past few days. Unfortunately I am not a technically-minded person by any means. It was only thanks to serendipity that none of the wireless rerouters were damaged and simply required a new power source.

What will I do if there is a technical malfunction of a much more serious nature? I cannot repair this equipment alone, and yet the possiblity of being forced to bring anyone down to the City to assist could be very dangerous.

I’ve begun a long and winding journey and have decided to shoulder a great deal of responsibility all on my own. Perhaps I should seek out others to help me. The possiblity of failure terrifies me. I cannot let this place die, even if it holds on only by the strand of life that I sustain; but am I even strong enough to sustain that?

No, I cannot dwell on such fears. If a problem occurs, I will find a way to fix it.

It has been an entire month since this place became silent again. It has passed by in the blink of an eye.

And yet, it feels like I have been here for years. For lifetimes.

That night truly was quite a spectacle…

Lost & Found

Written by: Giles   

I seem to have misplaced my physical journal. It must have happened while I was mucking about in the tunnels trying to re-activate this cursed wireless connection. I really need to be more careful. What would happen if I was that careless with a Linking Book? An intact Linking Book obviously, not the one I converted into my journal.

No matter, the entire point of re-establishing this connection was the ability to update this online journal from the cavern anyway. I was going to transition from hardback to digital eventually, this simply sped up the process. This system should prevent data loss and make journal entries easier.

How poetic, one was lost to create another.

Connection

Written by: Giles   

I’ve finally got it working. Took long enough. Of course, my bloody luck that they would already have a wireless connection to the surface. Took me forever to find it, it was disconnected in a lot of places. They had to set up wireless repeaters all the way through the cavern and the Great Shaft to even get this abysmal signal. What a monumental waste though, aquiring enough cable to reach the cavern from the Cleft. My fault for not looking hard enough while I was exploring I suppose. Father always tried to teach me to be observant, how disappointed he would be.
