>>5905516>Action 1 - More Monoliths!The new whitestone has a bit of a mixed reception among the bouncy Skaians. It's light, yet strong enough to hold up a deceptively high amount of weight, perfect for taller, grander structures. However, it's non-durable nature flies in the face of their emphasis on longevity!
A 'compromise' is made, of course, among Skaian architects. Grander structures today, even if they will not last, will inspire others to match and exceed them in the near (non-apocalyptic) future!
Besides, larger buildings means more room for fancy gear-work inside! Think of all the gadgets we can fit now!
>Action 2 - Quality of LifePlanning for the distant future is all well and good, but personal longevity is equally important! Medicinal and hygiene practices are brought into the present, once more employing the power of clockwork to make life easier, safer and better for all!
