New Alexandria
From the Book of Reminiscence and Regret, by Eustathius (2):
In the early days of our people, a great deal of responsibility fell on my shoulders. There were few of us then, and though we are stronger and hardier than any human, we are not invincible. The world was an overgrown ruin and our resources extremely limited; it was a harsh time, but I felt passionate about the work, fired up by the many sacrifices that had brought us here, from the IAN team to the people of Gehenna, whose code was part of my personality.
Bit by bit, New Jerusalem grew. We had to adapt some of the plans Drennan's team had left behind - I don't think they had expected the Simulation to take as long as it did - but it was all working. That's when I made a terrible mistake.
Thinking it was a way of safeguarding against disaster, I proposed the creation of a second settlement, New Alexandria. As the location was far from the dam that powers New Jerusalem, I attempted to build a thermal power station that would take advantage of a local gas reservoir. However, I foolishly used geologic data from the Archive, failing to account for the amount of time that had elapsed. Five years later, this error led to an accident that leveled the settlement and killed 31 of my fellow citizens.
Of all my many regrets, this is the greatest.
