Opening (live prose):
The day after the First Design was finalized, the community began to build. The atmosphere was entirely different from the frantic, improvisational energy that had characterized the construction of the bridge. This was not a desperate struggle against an obstacle, but the calm, coordinated execution of a plan. The clay tablets of the design were placed on a central pedestal, serving as a shared point of reference. Teams formed organically around the different modules of the system, each group knowing its specific role within the larger whole. There was a quiet confidence in their movements, the rhythm of a people who knew not only what they were doing, but why.
Non-WOW; echoes bump. Standing held one hundred and eighty-one.
