The Great Machine remains idle in the dead city, perched above a tangle of icy streets. There were a lot of damage reports, today: the paint on a navigational diagram in the System of Motion was found scratched to illegibility, the bitter cold is wearing away at the insulatory sealant in the System of Dwelling, and a handful of components have mysteriously vanished in the Systems of Motion and Control, leading to further damages.

Due to the cold seeping into peoples’ homes, Coal is in high demand right now. Cogs and Plates, on the other hand, are the cheapest wares in the Market at present.
