Quote from: James Harrison on February 09, 2025, 06:34:18 PMThe poser deepens. I took the motor out of the frames, put it on the track and put the battery to it. And it moved. Not a lot, and not quickly, but it moved.So I saw. The youtube algorithm showed me a short of the motor running and I thought "I know that train!" Because I have cookies and everything else turned off and cache cleared when I shut down I can only assume that it was random, an unlikely but cheering accident.
I think I'm going to service it, and see if that improves things. If not it'll be a case of isolating bits one by one to find a short.
QuoteDear Claudius,
As humans have returned from Prester into the chaos that Earth has become, more details are emerging from the vaults of the Last Exile ship.
Last week I stumbled upon a holographic memory, no doubt taken by the late evil mistress, Maestro Delphine, which clearly shows that Master Dio wasn't her only sibling. Apparently, Delphine Eraclea also had a younger sister.
I extracted and attached to this transmission a 2D section of the hologram; it's a portrait of Young Master Dio, before he had been assigned as a ward of Lucciola. The metadata of the hologram is simply titled "Little Dio and Aelia.". They must have separated by the time Dio was assigned a warden. I don't think Lucciola knew her, but I can't be sure.
Sadly I can't say more about this finding. No one knows what became of Aelia, and with an older sister so evil, one can only fear for her fate.
Please brother, wait for me before departing from Earth. I'll soon return with the last shipments from Prester.
Sincerely,
G. Alcimus Caelestius
