Ami's Work Crew have made progress in their Visual Survey of Descent so far. Here is a comparison of the recovered survey from 2024 to the current survey being done in 2025.
2024.
2025.
As I mentioned in the town hall today, it seems that the previous crew saved time by drawing the layout based on the modeling work done in Myst V for the area. The reality is quite different. Progress is ongoing, and the Sounding Devices are still lost in shipping, so more thorough structural sounding checks are being delayed in favor of visual spot checks for the moment.
I have an update from Ametist's crew who have been working on the elevators. As of yesterday, the two Shaft Elevators are now functioning under limited loads, and the main floor elevator platform is mostly operational, but still requires some work on the timer mechanisms. After Ametist is happy that it's working correctly, I've given her an extra week of "Just give it some TLC and polish" leeway that she can use at her discretion to make sure that everything is holding up to her expectations before she hands the project back over to Ami's teams for general maintenance and upkeep work on the Node Doors and Ventilation Systems.
It is my expected hope that we'll be able to open up Alpha Stage Testing for the Elevators in early November.
