>go south
You walk about half a mile. There are now some buildings along the east side of the street, though most of them are abandoned.

Broad Street
To the northwest is a public building with a deep portico; to the east, one with a conical roof. The others are private houses, but, except one or two, they don't look lived in. There is a general atmosphere of neglect.

The street continues south into the heart of town, or north towards the mountain and the glacier. A track for a floating train cuts southeast between the buildings.

The rings in the southern sky are partly obscured by the buildings on the horizon, but are still bright enough to catch the eye.

I decided to examine the track.

>examine track
The tracks run away between the houses, heading southeast towards southern settlements and eventually to Tanhua. They stop at the edge of Broad Street, so this must be the end of the line for any supplies or visitors being brought up from the south -- though presumably there is a larger station and a proper loading and unloading dock elsewhere.

No sign of the clearing yet, but the Embassy is probably S in the heart of town?

>go northwest

11:02AM

Ruined Vineyard
Once this was a kind of hothouse, but the glacier has knocked out loadbearing portions of the north wall. The roof is buckled at that end and gives a view of patchy sky; only a steel scaffold prevents it from falling in completely. Gusts of warm air from the wall vents quickly turn to cloud.

A pamphlet lies discarded near kiosks that line the west wall. The bulk of the area, though, is full of plant lines, growing on frames as in a vineyard.

You remind yourself about the waiting Valenti.

>take the pamphlet
Taken.

>i
You are carrying:
a pamphlet
a comfortable outfit of chronometer, grey undersuit, shoes, and socks

To get rid of any of these objects, drop it, or take off anything you are wearing.


>x pamphlet
It is a single sheet of folded paper on which are printed instructions, which unfortunately you can't read.

>x steel scaffold

11:07AM
The scaffold is an ad-hoc construction that covers the underside of the roof like arteries around a heart.

It was self-indulgence to have the shuttle set you down at the Lakeshore, since you wanted to have a look at the part of the Colony you would recognize from pictures, before going on to the part that would be strange to you. But you shouldn't drag this out.

x wall vents (those might house something since this is deserted and shouldn't be heated.)
