Clobbermountains; Wait! I still function.
The first of what will be eight dwarves to arrive assesses the scene in a heartbeat and rushes to inspect a nearby slaughtered dwarven caravan's goods.
Amperzand returns and quickly digs into the soft silty clay loam. The rest haul as much usefull goods from the wrecked caravan as they dare.
With no sign of worsening danger the hole is expanded to accomadate more steel, seeds, weapons and armour. Nerves eventually overcome greed and the hole is walled off from the outside world.
Amperzand digs towards the sounds of dwarven foot traffic and connects in the last month of spring.

Dorfings;
In the fort we are making preparations for the first water pour to start cast obsidian inverse pyramid mining the adamantine ore spire.
Holistic spawn arrive on the surface and the seasons turn to summer.

I used this spot as a quantum dump; (accidentally wasted a bunch of dorfpower dumping stuff I didn't know was designated too)
Levers; refer to (N)otes.
The lone blue lever in the room south of the dining room controls the bridge in the small tunnel to the north that connects our secure area with the rest of the cavern.
The group of four lower right in the small room;
The top three in the small room; Waterfall power; obvious.
Spire h2o smasher; bridge to atom-smash excess water in top level of the inverse pyramid adamantine ore mining operation
Main h2o supply door; door to fortifications to what should be a safe water supply as it's forced up through grates. It is waiting on removal of the temporary safety hatch for one thing.
Bringing us to projects;
The other thing is the bridge that controls the safe water supply is closed. Needs a volunteer to get walled in and throw the lever. Hopefully to return.
There's the FB silk farm to keep trying to recover and seal it off up at the ceiling or try to steal pig tail seeds from the old fort or outside. We really need clothes soon.
There are a bunch of weapons and armour secured up near the surface as well as steel goods and we have an operational magma forge.
Sleeping quarters expansion is underway. Still a long way from being a real settlement.
Although we now have a cat. Rescued from the dead traders outside by the latest migrant wave it waits next to the cave dragon.
