:::I agree with part of your statement, particularly regarding need to get things back to normal economically, except that it doesn't make much sense to me to build the new city where the old one used to be. The aforementioned access issues to the Portal Generator still stand, given ONIs profound security paranoia, not to mention the sheer expense of building a new city when I'm sure there are thousands of others across Earth that need rebuilding in the wake of the war. It would make more sense to make a memorial site to the dead, while nominating another city to be the host for the new tether, probably the next-largest port city or another island. -- [[User:Morhek|Qura 'Morhek]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|The Autocrat]] [[User talk:Specops306|of Morheka]] 05:33, 19 November 2014 (EST)

Looking at modern-day maps the city in Stonetown could either be Dar es Salaam or any number of smaller towns along the coastline, so they wouldn't have to build a new city from scratch. And the Tanzanian coast facing Zanzibar is far enough from Voi to have feasibly survived the glassing, and far enough to leave a sizable security zone around the Voi Excession. --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|Contribs]]) 08:15, 19 November 2014 (EST)
