Phoenix Logs/The Ark/Proto-Forerunner Refugia


 * The Ark continues to rebuild itself after the destruction wrought by the battle
 * that ended the Human-Covenant War. Like icebergs, the Forerunner
 * constructions on the surface are only a tiny part of the whole.


 * Partial-printing creates a terraced landscape of plateaus supported by colossal
 * columns and the substructure of the Ark dominates the space with gigantic
 * vertigo-inducing cavities that allow views deep into the superstructure
 * beneath. The surface demonstrates the building techniques and foundations of
 * a Refugia still being terraformed, with the layered strata giving a tantalizing
 * hint of the Forerunners' unfinished design.


 * Even incomplete, the exposed vein-like layers have a raw beauty of their own
 * and complement the sleek and sculptured metallic lines of finished Forerunner
 * architecture nearby. Mineral deposits with exotic material properties scatter the
 * surface, and new paths are created by massive shifting plates. their purpose
 * known only to the long dead race that created them.
