\\u201cUsed to be three weeks, with cart, from Twinbrook,\\u201d said one resident of the University, who operated a food cart both before and after the Second Spring. \\u201cSure, [I] haven\\u2019t made that trip in eight or nine years, not with everything going on. But [I] could count on it. Three weeks, with cart.\\u201d The man tapped his temple three times, as if to emphasize the truth of the matter.
While early efforts--DuCarte\\u2019s map school, the Spider Silk Gondola to Alcyon, Feritas\\u2019 road project--were progressing on schedule, there was the gnawing feeling among some in leadership roles that these moved too slowly. \\u201cIf even our people, easy-tempered and well-calloused from the old life want to map this tangle out,\\u201d wrote Corsica Neue in her journal, \\u201cthen others, those chronically conditioned by control and ease, must be even more eager mappers than we.\\u201d
