Phoenix Logs/Campaign Logs/A Tensed Bolt


 * Unknown Author, Installation 00, Date: 29,823 BCE


 * It disturbs me to admit, but I always feel a wash of ennui after dismantling one
 * of the Librarian's ship-seeds. As with all my master's designs, architecture and
 * function balance in perfect harmony. It seems such a pity to put it back in the
 * box.


 * It is as if a mighty archer has flexed their muscles, drawn back the box to full
 * strength and then suddenly frozen in full pose. The tension remains, the action
 * and all potential postponed, perhaps never to be realised. The temptation to
 * launch it and to break the stasis is strong, so I must busy myself with other
 * tasks. However, every Refugia has some buried inert marvel of technology:
 * weapons, ships, power sources - all patiently waiting to be put to use once
 * again.


 * This is the way of things, and at least the ship is in sympathy with this
 * installation. As with all the Librarian's plans, Installation 00 has performed
 * admirably, but now it lays dormant, sleeping. It is my task to watch and
 * maintain this installation should the threat arise once again.
