Editors Note

I wish to explain a little of what happened to cause such a unique format of ‘blog’ entry here in my journal.

First of all, The transmissions.  During my travels, it is difficult to call or communicate back to normal society.  Long story short, the only way I could be sure to relate my findings at all was to hobble together simple parts on hand, and make field broadcasts, hoping they would be received here in the normal timeline.

Now that I am back safely at home in Steelhead city, I can leisurely edit and repair the entries as they are posted.  Due to the unstable nature of the broadcast, I was unable to send notes and photos.  I wound up carrying them with me for several years before adding them to the posts as they appeared in our timeline.

With all my bouncing around time and space, this occured nearly 15 years ago to me.

It’s all very very complicated, so suffice it to say, I’ll try to do my best to bring the documents to you in the best possible state.  I apologize for their condition as some were damaged in the riots of 2019… er… strike that… spoilers.

Thank you for your interest, and I will resume the normal entries as they arrive!

There!  A little easier that time.  Hopef../{..ata will remain intact.  If not, I will add the photographs later when I return to  normal space.  I have found what seems like a common area, dedicated to an unseen, all powerful hand.  By the design, I gather they see this  ’hand’ as all-seeing, based on the eye glyph.

I see this symbol everywhere in this land, perhaps it is a warding symbol, or just simply a gesture of welcome.  This example is what looks like trees, genetically modified to grow in exactly this pattern.  I will take a clipping and attem..)1@;[RESYNC]..ture one back at my shop.  the s..@(1…ems to be destabilizing, expect my next communicati..[DATA LOST]..xt fe…{,..ays.

I don’t have long, the link is only temporary. It seems, my travels went a bit astray.

Currently, I find myself in a strange land… the ideas of many compiled into a visual cacophony of light and motion.  I am having trouble finding anyone to tell me exactly where I am. Best I can tell, this is a reality built solely of ideas.  Great temples are built to the very idea of thought.  Here,  I have a photograph of one such temple:

It is known as the ‘Temple of the Plywood Apple’.  A simply amazing work of art, designed to herald in the very building blocks of this world.  The music itself inspires higher thought, the motion adds to this, drawing you in to explore it’s workings.

I wish I could send more on this place, though I must be moving quickly.  it seems as though night approaches, and i would like to see more before finding refuge.  I will contaC .. oon… i…breakin…[DATA ERROR]

Hello world!…. indeed.

I’ve decided to start anew. My travels take me now to Steelhead City, where I will be investigating the wonderful world of Steelhead and The Steamlands.

My Daughter, Tensai Hilra, has directed me to a wonderful spot at 501B Shamian Alley, in Steelhead Shanghai. a nice place, we’ll see how it shapes up.
