The guardian star

There it is. Your blood, your eyes; a strange and fierce mind in a shell of blazing chitin. Is it looking back?

1 - 19You hear that Mr Fires has enacted a brutal clampdown on all forms of "inefficiency" at his factories. Forms of inefficiency include eating, pausing, visiting the lavatory. The irascible Master has become, by all accounts, more spiteful than ever.

85 - 89In the faint twilight of the new star, secret doorways and narrow passageways and hitherto-hidden alleys have been discovered […] revealing dusty relics and forgotten wines of excellent vintage. Graffiti is discovered from before the Fall […]
90 - 100With the Hybrid false-star peeling back the darkness an invaluable fraction, the gaslamps are dimmed. Painters scramble to capture the city in a rare light. Restaurants drag their tables outside. A spontaneous street-party breaks out […]
