((Can it be charged with less than four hours of hand-crank, plus a day making it, safely, if I do it that way?))

[The generator is already running downstream from the dam site, if you chose to do it while the workers are resting, you've got free access to it. The hard part is the transformer, which may require some shenanigans.]

[TheBiggerFish]

((Or just siphoning off the extra power, into magic...))

Do that.

"What should we call the thing? Homeland? The Magnus Opus? An Encyclopaedia? The Big Book Of Everything is kind of annoying to say."

[TheBiggerFish]

"Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?  Because why not."

[chaotic skies]

"Beginning needs to say 'Homeland-So long and thanks for the fish' to keep with theme "

[TheBiggerFish]

"It's 'So long and thanks for all the fish'.

Also, 'Earth-Mostly Harmless.'  Except that would actually be very stupid."

[Amperzand]

"Keepin' in mind they mostly don't know we're not local. I've been talking with a couple of the Settlers, they knew several of us before we got switched out."

[TheBiggerFish]

"Switched?  What even do you mean, switched?  Oh.  That.  Joyyyyy.  Eeegh.  I think I evaded that though."

[Amperzand]

"Yeah, you definitely aren't local. I think they figured that out when you teleported in out of nowhere."

[TheBiggerFish]

"Well yes, duh.  But I'm slightly squicked by the idea that I might be possessing somebody."

[chaotic skies]

"Eh. I appear to have been an outsider or an adventurer beforehand anyway, so anyone I...they? knew would think I died or something anyway."

[Amperzand]

"We've got mirrors. Just go check."

"As for the book, we should probably get a printing press and paper production up at some point."

Spoiler: Murdoc (click to show/hide)

"That's what he thinks."

[chaotic skies]

"Fairly safe guess. Given what I know about this body, and where I woke up, my safest guess is outsider. There are other possibilities, but those get less likely the more I think about them."

"Although, that is also the easiest explanation, which is rarely the right explanation."

[In other news, the Liason's stuffs that I forgot about.]

The Liason, who seems to be a different Liason than previous years, rather sanctimoniously produces his report codex and begins declaring the events of the last year to His Lordship and the appointed Mayor:

"To begin, I shall say that events to the East are escalating quickly. Both the puerile kingdoms of humanity in that region and the local elfish rabble are fighting a war of almost believable scale, and I'm afraid the Mountainhome will be forced to act. Reports as to the nature of the enemy are many and of dubious reliability. The human cities of Rambūtan, Cylevzk, and Norcî have been razed, alongside many lesser settlements and an unknown number of elfish tree-colonies."

"While Administrat is concerned as to the risk of harm to Dwarfkind, none of our own have been reported lost to the war. The Observatory assures us that the gods remain with us."

"Before you ask, while this fortress may be required to provide a staging ground for defensive mobilization, it is assured that your purpose here will not be compromised. I have here a sealed missive from the very deepest levels of Administrat, commanding that your projects be supplied with all possible materiel. This fortress has been declared the central wartime research hub of our race."

While the dwarf continues for some little time, there is little else of note.

{I'm not super pleased with this writeup, but this is basically what's needed, and I need sleep so I can try to actually get schoolwork done tomorrow.}
