Work is continuing on the great Project quite nicely, and though I have managed to locate this "Checkerboard" my predecessors spoke of, I cannot fathom its use.  I have already devised my own system, which grows nearer and nearer to readiness - we will see if the Checkerboard can be integrated someday - perhaps the combined result will be even greater than either Mego or I imagined.

Well this can't be good...

I predict spectacular failure.

all according to plan...

Let's see here;

- A half-built checkerboard that was constructed incorrectly
- Catalyst doesn't know how it works
- He's modifying something that was incorrectly made and he doesn't understand into some new obscenity of engineering.

Better than I planned for

Oh, if it was incorrectly made, that explains why it didn't look like anything that would work, to me.  Mystery solved.

Not that that means I shouldn't still try to use it...

Well you know where the instructions are if you want to know how to build a working checkerboard

I think it's a much better idea to reverse engineer the defective checkerboard. What kind of dwarf are you, convincing people to do something the safe and easy way?

In my sig, have fun with it.

I won't be happy till I cause someone a full-blown spit-take.  I'll have to try harder.

This being Hellcannon, the chances of anything backfiring and then mysteriously stopping to work is rather high. The crusher would be a good example.

How is the fort going? It's been two days.

CatalystParadox has been found dead, drained of sanity!

Those are both truer than you know.

I'll give you all a real serious update tonight, or resign the fort to someone better equipped to run it - Actually, given where Catalyst is right now, I might have to resign anyway due to a critical existence failure!

Update coming in a matter of hours.

Pff. Critical existence failure is no reason to give up. That's an elfish frame of mind.

This fort already had one critical existence failure. Why not two?
