Food for thought:

As this is the time of year in which this world seems the most vulnerable, it seems prudent to remind all to be cautious. Whether or not a disturbance occurs or not, it has been two years since the initial barrier's breach, and one year since, for lack of a better description, a ghostly invasion.

There have been tremors occurring near the factory which can be traced to some noticed issues, though none of the citizens thus far seem to have anything conclusive to report on it, unless they are hesitant to commit to it. Given the barrier in the mine seems to be more vulnerable than the one currently surrounding the city, it might well be considered a point of entry, even if our study of it is still yet limited at this time.

Considering the timing, we will see if this bears any interruption, or potential detraction, from any celebration they may intend to hold in the next coming month.

I am less certain if there were 'original' temples involved. However, given what we have observed of the energy flow and know that it directs to the temples as they stand now, their placement and those of the research towers seem... quite deliberate. To wonder to what extent it was, or perhaps even an honest mistake not picked up upon due to their distress... theories will become unto themselves.

However, we do not know when the city itself was constructed, or how it came be be; aside from how it has been designed to accommodate those here after 'the change' with the expectation that it might support them.

A good point, if these temples are truly the originals or not.

So many questions and mysteries... if only we could gain access to the archives again, that might be helpful.

Perhaps they have not been swayed enough with the right sort of petitioning of late for it, though I admit perhaps I have not made enough of an effort, myself.

Although I can understand why they would not freely have it open to us, considering the recent breach of trust, and other matters. To those like us, they are mysteries, but to them, it is still yet a history, however discarded or distanced it might be.

[iustaegis]

You're right about that, too. Maybe, until we regain their trust more, we should hold off before asking to go outside or to access the archives again.

I do not see the harm in... expressing our interest in such things. It is all in how it is approached. Better to be up front about it, rather than turn to what may come across as deception. You already had made such inroads before.

Otherwise, they might simply feel as though their earned trust was a means to use them all along for it. Though they could think that anyway.
