It'd be a lot harder to start science threads, if Bay12 Forum was a mountain hall.

How's that?

Anyway, I'm going to need a team of stoneworkers, mechanics, and architects.  I have a... project that I need done.
Applicants must not have any fear of heights.  Or of spikes.
My medical staff and I will be on site throughout construction in case of accidents, but I can assure you all that the utmost attention will be paid to prevent any unwanted casualties.

Hmm... I suppose that we could simply engrave our "threads" on walls. That should raise the fortress value substantially. I know if I went over to the mayor's house and engraved the outer walls with DF science, that would make it worth more, right?

Lmao. Not what I meant, but excellently said.

EDIT: SRD, you forgot "Trading at Depot".  Ironic, isn't it?

[Loud Whispers]

If we were all engravers, how much cheese would we chisel into the walls?

Not that much. Who wants cheese? We want magma.

Only unwanted casualties eh?

Science has been suspended: Garath has become too suspicious.

And that is why science would be harder to do.

This was a triumph
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

This is Dwarf Fortress
We do what we do because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead

But there's no sense crying over the goblin hordes
You just keep on trying til you run out of dwarves
And the !!SCIENCE!! gets done and we make a neat «☼gun☼»
To test on the prisoners still alive

...

Look at me still talking, when there's !!SCIENCE!! to do
When I see the danger rooms I'm glad I'm not you
We've experiments to run, there is reasearch to be done
On the dumb dwarves who are still alive

Excellent!  Now, I'll need a tower ~20 stories tall, 6x6 square, with a staircase going up the outside.  Don't bother with the interior floors, they're not necessary.  Also, build another 6x6 room adjacent to the base of the tower, separated from it by a glass wall with a door.
When that's done, build a retracting bridge on each floor, then link them to an array of levers in the room at the bottom.

Cheese engravings, indeed.

Engraved on the wall is masterfully designed image of cheese, KodKod Psychobitch the dwarf and the dwarves of the bay12forums by KodKod. The dwarves are in a fetal position. KodKod is laughing. This artwork related to the mass poisoning of the dwarves of the bay12forums by KodKod, using Pig Cheese coated in frozen forgotten beast extract, in the early Spring of 2012.

It's too bad music hasn't been directly implemented yet, because as it stands I'd probably migrate to this fortress as an Adequate Cook with a moderately high musical sense. If I ever get to be a noble, I'll probably end up mandating the construction of adamantine instruments, but more realistically I'll be enlisted into the military and die in the first siege, or be the subject of some cruel science, or end up tracking some syndrome throughout the fortress while hauling. I am the useless immigrant.
