Where's the latest save?

I don't want a turn or anything, just a quick look at the abomination for myself.

Look away.

Whoever goes next, there it is.

[Just Some Guy]

I.. have no idea what I'm looking at.

Observations:

• We seem to be out of soap. This could prove problematic. There is a soap maker's workshop int this fortress, right?
• There is a large room consisting of a pool of magma with a ring of orthoclase block floors over it. What's it for?
• There is a skeleton belonging to a dwarf named Sazir Akgosletmos in a crypt with a checkerboard pattern. It is forbidden. Does anyone know why?
• The child care system seems... incomplete. How do I finish it? How do I use it?
• The Deep City... what do I do with it?

Currently planning an underground vault to fill with children to ensure survival. However, I am too afraid to unpause.

Sazir was buried if I remember correctly.

That large pool of magma is used for... something.

Who needs childcare when we have the pool of lava?

[CaptainMcClellan]

Since noone else has really stepped up or responded to my remark, I'm grabbing the save. I will begin on the morrow... or at least when I awaken.

[StupidElves]

I want to look at this. But I'm afraid to.

Don't be afraid. It/they/he can smell fear.

[Dwarf4Explosives]

I may have found the reason for the Voidspawn-thrall rivalry. I'm probably wrong, but if I'm right, the Voidspawn just need the tag "[NOT_LIVING]" added to their raws and they'll stop fighting their thralls.

Ohhhh dear. Not another Yak bone scepter.

Journal of SanDiego, master of all things mechanical

1st Granite 272

Over twelve years have passed since I have dwelled here as overseer. My original body is long gone and rotten by now. As I now assume overseership again, I can't say I'm much impressed.

I hope we have enough coffins.

4th Granite 272

Our outer walls have numerous holes in them. One of the levers claims to operate the green bridge, however none is to be found. I must create my own entrance. Somewhere. I must be swift in my works, though, as I don't expect our enemies to linger.
Also, our animals seem to be murdering each other for no discernible reason.

17th Granite 272

Corpses are piled haphazardly all over the fortress; random, twisting corridors are covered in blood and I do not have the faintest idea where anything may be. The place has hardly changed in the last 12 years.
Although there seems to be less crap on the surface now.

23rd Granite 272

All works continues at incredibly slow pace. There is much more jobs than hands to do it. AnimaRytak's tomb is barely progressing. The outer walls are NOT progressing. There is barely enough here to bury the dead, much less do some work.

24th Granite 272

Praise the void! Some slave labour migrants arrived!

Ah, come on! It's not as if we didn't have enough of these already!

***

So, is there a way to close of the caverns, or do I just send in the military and hope for the best?

Good luck, and may Terry leave you the hell alone.

[TheFlame52]

You know what, fuck it. Put me on the turn list if I'm not already.

Doesn't that just make the creature an invalid target for necromancy/etc?

I always thought the problem was that 90% of creatures that wind up thralled succumb to the infection while still fighting their "progenitor," and immediately see them as hostile because they were engaged in battle already.

[CaptainMcClellan]

Should also remove antagonism from [OPPOSED_TO_LIFE]. However, if your theory is correct it doesn't matter. Only way to test, of course, is to edit the raws.
