RedStar The Star of Labors: Semi Annual Report
Kommissar Ivan: Granite 1 Y55 (OOC: Not 52, that was the last embark. My bad)
I've drawn up plans for how the start is going to go.
The red circle is the trade depot, we'll floor over the grass around it and round out the area once the walls are built up for the DoS Building on that side. The green circle is where the initial magma forges and glassmaking will be going, as well as a tunnel from where the main entrance will be, three V-urists down. I'm thinking either ramps up to the current level, or the forges and parade grounds will have ramps leading down into that hall with it being a huge 3 v-urists tall structure. Preferably smoothed and engraved all the way through. The blue circle is where the parade grounds entrance will be. The black arrow is the tunnel that will lead to the top of the mountain, and the basic mine for now.

More progress has been made, albeit very slowly due to so much hauling. The volcano mouth has been breached and slowly being floored over, and several workshops have been set up; Masons (for rock blocks), Still (for the all important booze), and Kitchen. Trade depot (temp or permanent, not certain yet) has been placed as well. The farm plots and seed stockpiles inside have been built as well. And lastly stockpile room straight across from trade depot. On left is food and booze, in front of entrance to stock pile are basic rocks, to right of that is ores, to right of that is furniture, and on very right is general storage for bars and blocks and similar.
We have found tetrahedrite further up in mountain and are mining out casserite nearby. This is all good news comrades. For we can have bronze!
The migrants that came today are all most helpful. Mother Mountainhome was most thoughtful to send a weaponsmith under contract, the owner of U-Wep. As such, I will disable the weapon smithing labors of everyone once the forge is set up. Can't have inferior weapons being made until we have proper stuff for our guardians of communism! Then we can begin working the other members with inferior metal like copper to get proper weapon and armor moods. Comrade Deathpunch began training under Comrade Madman with Red Hammer 1 (RH 1) as soon as I saw his file had him being quite good with a hammer. Comrade Sanctume arrived with her own ax and will be starting the Red Axes 1 (RA 1) unit soon, once bronze armor and weapons are crafted.

We got 8 migrants that
claim to have been sent from Mother Mountainhome after they received my preliminary report. Most of them seem good, but one, Comrade Etur seems extremely shifty. Too smart for his own good. His file shows that, unlike the others, he has been practicing a great many poems and dances. He won't be using that crossbow of his in combat. I think I'll put him with Comrade Sanctume. The Chief of Elfchopping will surely be able to keep him straight with Communism and not falling too far. He can continue to hunt though.

Progress is proceeding quicker, comrades! All the casserite has been dug out and they should begin digging out the tetrahedrite soon. I'm getting a small office in the location of the trading tunnel, that will be moved as soon as we have the military set up and defenses dug out. Enough of the volcano has been covered over for a magma smeltery to be set into place, and a butcher and tanning workshop have been placed and are getting some use thanks to Comrade Etur's hunting.

Semi-Annual Report
Greetings Comrades of Mother Mountainhome,
Kommisar Ivan reporting, all is going well. The citizens are in high spirits and we've begun to make bronze bars for weapons and armor when the volcano is floored over. At the moment it is a strip of floor wide enough for the workshops and a stockpile around them. A craftdwarf workshop has been set up to produce pots and mugs, and a leather working workshop has been created to make all the quivers we'll need later for the archers. Galena is being dug out to make silver for proper warhammers. No shortage of food or booze yet. Currently only RH 1 is training, the axes for RA 1 are copper and used in tree chopping. I need to make it so copper axes are the only axes used for tree chopping. A sketch of the fortress at the moment has been provided.

The files of the new migrants worth mentioning.
Comrade Skeletal
Comrade Sanctume
Comrade Maximum Spin
He has offered his services as an assistant. Currently I don't need one, but when I must act as the law of this city later, he will be a great boon.
Comrade Deathpunch
Worships a god of beauty. Wants to be a hammerdwarf again, but is still suspect. Madman should keep her on track.
Comrade Bearskie
Here is true communist dwarf. He will help me root out traitors!
Comrade AernJardos

OOC: I forgot to take a picture of the various status screens this time around and as such I've decided not to do them for the mid-year reports.
EDIT: OH! Everyone on the migrant wave had a wide range of intellectual skills and was at least novice in one poem, song, or dance. What should I do? Say all in it are Sus?
