I went hiking in the large, sedimentary/morphic mountains near the metropolis today. Because they are obviously the ocean floor of a bygone era it's clear that there have been some cataclysmic earthquakes in this area. It boggles the mind that this civilization would choose to build in such a desolate, dangerous area. What's more mind-boggling is that they appear to dislike the natural proportion of oxygen in the atmosphere and have undertaken great pains to increase the carbon monoxide and particulate content of the local air to great success. From the mountains a you can see a kind of great pall floating over the city. I imagine that through millions of years the natives have grown to require this specialized atmosphere much like certain cockroaches require the electromagnetic fields of breaker boxes for effective reproduction...
