what happened: They came up with an alternative to asbestos.

Turns out that a precursor to the new material is even more

At least, the material breaks down over time.

be integrated into this chapter instead.

He walks over to the the teleprinter and opens the lid to find that
|
|
something has eaten most of the paper. He removes the remains and opens
|
|
one of the cabinets under the desks. By some miracle, whatever ate the
|
|
paper didn't find the rest. He tears off a piece of the stack and
|
|
puts it into the printer, feeding the end into the tractor mechanism.
|
|
Then, he sits down at the terminal and logs on.
|
|
<span class="comment">This should be rephrased to indicate that there
|
|
is some purpose to him opening the lid in the first place, like him
|
|
wanting to change the ribbon bc it's no doubt deteriorated or something
|
|
like that.</span>

The printer comes to life and starts printing. Jack gets up and walks
|
|
over to it. The printer prints. And it prints some more. The paper
|
|
reaches the floor. Jack picks up the end and holds it, folding the pages
|
|
along the perforated lines as they reach his hands. Finally, the printer
|
|
stops to print. Jack turns the wheel on the side of the printer, manually
|
|
advancing the feed mechanism, until he reaches the end of the page. Then,
|
|
he tears it off and takes the small stack of paper back to the terminal
|
|
desk. Trying his luck with the lamp again, he flips the switch multiple
|
|
times until it stays on.

The outpost diagnostics suite reports no critical problems at any of

our outposts. The Lunar Biosphere has, so far, not needed assistance
|
|
from any of the outposts.
|

Good work, everyone!

The Future Is Bright.
