Evergreen:

Returning from mission -

• 250 miles of piping checked:
• three cracked corner-piece mirrors, replaced
• seven blockages cleared
  • moss and ivy, 2
  • dead rats, 5
• two misaligned amplifier lenses, adjusted
• one illegal junction-box, welded in by hacker, removed

Maybe if we lined the pipes with something toxic the rats wouldn't go into them in the first place. Hmm. Have to look into that.

Ahah, what's this? three characters approaching the arch from the South... two on hands and knees, one on webbed feet... careful not to cast a shadow on the ground infront of them... circling wide, monitoring... yes, a tall one in a big black hat with a stumpy friend... must be them... so, they finally got here. I wonder what took them so long since leaving the City.
