The Journal of Mayor Lokum Lerommeng, 16th of Moonstone, 1090
Today we did a test run of what is popularly called 'the giant shaft', not without certain connotations. I am told that there is a lever in the barracks are that controls all the bridges in there.
However, when we pulled it, the laziness of our mechanic was revealed! The majority of the bridges did not move! They would never move!
Disgraceful! Even the Captain expressed annoyance at this oversight by the mechanics, and I quickly ordered the situation rectified.
There's also the problem with the bottom floor not entirely being filled with steel spikes, like he'd intended. I've ordered the ceaseless production of giant steel spikes until this situation is fixed.
I must say it feels good to have the fortress actually producing something, and I'm starting to understand the Captain's fixation on our big projects.
While I was at the barracks I took the opportunity to visit with BurnedToast and Grantyman, still invalid after seasons of recovery from horrific injury. They were less pleased to see me, what with me being the cause of their current distress. Live and learn!
