I've started re-doing the journey, re-installing Uru and starting from the beginning. Noticing a couple of things already that I'd didn't spot the first time around. Two drawings in the pipe/sewer thing that you walk through etched into it

I noticed those drawing but never really paid them any heed. I was always rather busy at the time.

I saw the top one, but never noticed the bottom. Interesting...

The bottom one is right to the end of the pipe (or as far as you can walk), just walk straight past the gap that leads to the stairs and you should see it on your right hand side.

The first clearly shows two people shackled together and under the control of a D'ni individual (possibly in a maintainer suit).

As for the second image... I have no idea what it represents. Any ideas?

Actually, if you look at the third person, he's shackled with his arms above his head.

Yes, you're right. It's obvious now that you've pointed it out. I didn't know what it was. Looked like a head in a bucket on legs. Embarassed

But, it's obviously raised arms shackled together and...hung up? There's a rope or chain going up from the shackles.

Yes I thought as well that the third person was shackled, like the chains you see in the prison hanging from the ceilings.

Sorry it's not a brilliant picture, should have brightened it a bit more.

well, we heard strange things were going on in teledahn, something about prisoners, and that the mushroom-harvesting-thing was just a coverup for something else? I forgot what it was exactly.
Those drawings must depict some of the prisoners, You can see the chains on the floor in Teledahn if you go there, in a certain room.

Wasn't the Guild Master of the Guild of Caterer's running a slave trade from Teledahn? Can't remember now. Will have to read Sharper's journal again.

I think he did. On the back part of the island.

I stand corrected... so the third person is also shackled.

The Guild Master of the Guild of Caterers received Teledahn as a gift. Later, the Guild of Caterers inherited the age from him.

The Guild of Caterers (starting with the Guild Master) caused environmental damage to Teledahn, through a combination of industrialization and the wall erected to keep out the Shroomie creatures.

The book was thrown away when the age was declared to be"ruined." From that point forward, the history of the book is unknown, but it resurfaced later; to paraphrase, "the book had not been destroyed as the Guild had intended." The later owner of the book put the age back into production, but the spore harvesting was actually a red herring meant to cover the owner's real business: slave trade. Indeed, the disrepair of some of the equipment appears to be deliberate as slaves were channeled through a broken pipe under the equipment.

I've seen both these images in Uru. The first is pretty easy to decipher, but the second one has puzzled me. This being Cyan, I wonder if we will someday hear more about this symbol.
