Good morning.

Let me thank the gentlemen who assisted me on the day of my arrival for your kindness. I wish I could say that my mind is less troubled on this day than it was on that that one, but unfortunately, I cannot. I have spent my time since then with your history books.

They are wrong. Wrong in many particulars, from the great to the small. Pretannica is 'Britain' and Gaul is 'France' and the wars are protracted or shifted or simply not as they should be. The dates are wrong, all across the past millennium. Places are wrongly named, and many august personages either are not mentioned or are said to hold the wrong offices. On a more personal note, the great city of Calleva, near which my family has its estate, in your books appears to have disappeared when the Romans did.

Further, I cannot find a single mention of telekinetics.

The similarities, however, are numerous and uncanny enough that I cannot simply say that I must be reading about some other planet, even as I learn the nature of this place.

What would you make of this?

- C. Leyton

~~Now I do not follow at all.~~

Yes, I spoke with Mr Hamilton on the day I that arrived. He was exceptionally helpful in assisting me to make sense of this place, and said that he would find a map for me, if he could. Since then I have encountered charts of various kinds as part of my search for more information. I am sure this one will also be of use to me, thank you. I do think it is important to get my bearings.

	Yeah, alright. I think the hardest part of getting used to this place is learning which end is the farm. Physically. I change that map whenever people add their own touch to the station, so I'll try to remember to send out an update when I do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're teasing, aren't you? I wish I could tell. We lose so much through these phones. They're harder to get used to than finding a farm, I'm sure. Yes, but this one does very well for now, thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No. I wish I was. Unless you're looking out the window of the spine you can't tell from the inside. You're welcome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What if you were to carry a compass? I know there is no North Pole here, but would it indicate - well, would it be of any use? Would it point to north of that other planet, and let you orient yourself that way? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nope, I've tried that. It just swings around and around. But it did that when we were on land. The easiest way is to mark the corridor. No one will care, as long as your mark doesn't pierce the hull. (Reply to this) (Parent)
