Yay! Didn't crash this session.

This cat is too much - it catches fluffy wamblers at a ridiculous rate and leaves their corpses all over the place. It left one in the mechanisms for controlling the magma and almost caused a jam! It's got to go.
I spoke with Andreus, and he agreed that there hasn't been nearly enough doom in the fortress. He told me he'd take care of the rest.

I was topside today, admiring the imports from the minotaurs, when an idea struck me. Why not create a place in the fortress that feels like the natural caverns, but is completely safe for dwarves to walk around in and see various creatures in their normal habitat? Stroke a drunian, feed an elk bird, ride the giant cave spider!

I've sketched out some designs for the cavern. It'll be twice as high as our dining hall, and host all manner of subterranean creatures! Giant olms will swim in the waters and giant cave swallows will roost amongst the stalactites! The miners have started digging it out.

Migrants! 19 new residents of the fort, and just in time to see Andreus' new device's first performance! Even Urist McDoc rushed to finish counting every last everything in the fort to come along.

The cat's owner was delighted to be the first to use the new toy, and was glad to be rid of that pesky cat.

Afterwards, we all had a celebration at the new well Biff set up for us - it's made of pure gold and is absolutely sublime.

24 Slate
Zon Fernbusts helped me figure out how we'd feed the ponds in the cavern, and the miners finished digging. I even got to pull the levers to start it flooding!

Urist McDoc returned to the hospital only to find Urist McCoy and Tholtig Aran being taught by a couple of newcomers who'd taken over in his absence. Apparently they're reluctant to let McDoc take control again, and claim to have all sorts of 'official' qualifications. Not sure where they got those, since there was never anything of the sort back in Zealrelics. The only officially recognised doctors were the ones that got paid by the queen. Just like everything else.

Current State of the Fort:
On the whole, coming along nicely. Still plenty of things to do (workshops/bedrooms/military), which are all being done in small amounts, and keep taking longer due to having multiple projects, etc. But progress! Of course, as the bedrooms were finally being finished, we got a load of migrants, so that's a whole load more to be furnished! :D

Elf closest to elephants remaining should show (feigned?) horror, and be like "Quick! Hide in HERE! Before She notices you!" and offer the elephant a nice safe cage to run and hide in.
YES!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
I vote for this! capitalize on confusion!
You've got my vote!

978
Beautiful :D
And to think that me taking off my shirt drove her to avenge me so hard.

Well, to business. Agreed, capture the second elephant with kindness and herbs, and preserve the dead elephant to add to our caravan.

Print "T
H"
While(true){
Print "I"
}
That doesn't have an s in it.
It does - just wait till it's finished and you'll see :P

980
Alternatively:

String this = "Th";
while(true) {
 thiis += "i" }
System.out.println(thiis+"s");

Aww, you ninja'd my while(true) while I was writing :P

981
I'm not sure we have to choose one or the other. We still have a good number of elves, so we can spare one or two who are unskilled in combat to get the Liberty Elephant high and talk about deep things like 'trumpet'.

b. Why do these forums show brown as dark red?

Create a coil of wire and an indicator dial, such that the needle moves when the wire is moved near a magnet (i.e. a trivial and simple detector of current). Try moving it near the strange object.
Although this may be risky, and perhaps we should avoid performing SCIENCE! in the presence of the object.

If we do decide to bury it, encase it in a container of wood. Around that, another container of lead, then fired clay. Optionally some final layer of harmless metal; copper, iron, etc, to make it less delicate. In the end, the result should be roughly 2-3cm total thickness, so 4-6cm added to each dimension of the mysterious cylinder (how large is the cylinder, by the way?).

In summary:

Strange object
Wood layer
Lead layer
Ceramic layer
{Optional} Metal outer layer

This should hopefully keep it from sending communications or being found by any normal means.

And, finally, bury it in a suitably remote location from where we may conduct our future SCIENCE!

Haha! Skimmed in half-sleep until I was captured by the "I CALL IT A TRICYCLE" bit, at which point I woke up somewhat.
Loved the ending :D

985
Admiral Shambert, please :D

Soothing the elephant worked long enough to give the sentry a CHANCE. You can only confuse a murderderm for so long.


In the meantime, send some gentler folk to the sneaky elephant to convince it to join us? A few "soft whispers in the animal tongue" ought to do it, and some smokeleaf can't hurt.

987
Consider it done!

And I suppose I didn't lose that much - most of it was design, which I now have a rough idea of. We had about 19 migrants, but I hadn't paid them much attention (they were only there for a few days), so we'll get new ones soon enough.

But, in the meantime, sleep.

OH THE PAIN OH THE PAIN OH THE PAIN NOBODY IN MEDICAL SCHOOL TOLD ME BEING A DOCTOR WOULD HURT THIS MUCH
Give it to me straight, doc. What are my chances? :D
But hey, rightfully I oughta be the one under those waves, so by {whomever I worshop/Armok} I'll hang on as long as I can.

Is it possible for a dorf to diagnose themself?

989
Another sentry, spotting the commotion yells out to the elf closest to him, "Arouse Amala and the other sleepers! Quickly!" Unfortunately, the elf misinterprets the sentry's intentions.

Amala wakes to a disturbing image, an elf waving his shirt around while gyrating rhythmically.
OH MY GOD THAT IS ME AS AN ELF.
Sure, I died, but I died semi-naked and in the act of romancing, which is, to elves, like dying in battle is to dwarves.
I'm so happy right now :D

Crash for unknown reason today, so lost all my work on Spring so far, including the fantastic new golden well :(
And the cavern habitat was designed, dug and almost ready D:
Frustrated and delayed until tomorrow. Sorry, all.
