Not to mention that Conata has had one and a half decades to grow up after Stand before the realta landed.

Dear Mr Curly,
I have done little travelling lately because I have been so dreadfully weary. Can it be true as the old Ecclesiastes said; that all things lead to weariness? Surely not. Perhaps the opposite is true: that all nothings lead to weariness. I have a peculiar feeling, Curly, that I am worn out from something I haven't yet done and the more I don't do it, the more exhausted I become. How strange. Could it be something I haven't realised? Perhaps it's something I haven't said? Something I haven't finished! It must be very large and true whatever it is and a lively struggle in the doing but I look forward to it immensely. I know I need it. First, however, I must curl up in my chair and sleep deeply with the duck. Perhaps I'll dream of this thing and wake up refreshed and do it. My fond wishes to you Mr. Curly, and to all Curly Flat.
Yours sleepily,
Vasco Pyjama

P.S. Not having breakfast can make you weary. That's for sure!

I think it's appropriate that the timelines are weird around the time of Vowzra's death.
But yes, the bright purge of the realta seems like a good place to reconvene temporally.

Jeez, you're right, it's a wonder that there aren't more sinkholes over those regions.
Man, I remember the first time I saw Blackreach. That was a great moment, it really blind-sided me.
The many places that Meesei's pack had travelled, the many sights seen and events witnessed, had made them previously believe that they would see nothing greater in their lives. This cavern, if it would even stoop to such a description, proved them all wrong.
It was like another world. The damp cave air confirmed them to be underground, though the blue that cast from the colossal stranded mushrooms and the yellow of light reflecting off the Dwemer metal made it seem like a dreamland cast into night.
Ahnasha's comment cut through the mutual amazement.
"...Any path we take, at least we'll have room for the warband," Fendros remarked.
Sabine's surveying of the expanse was more focussed on the details. Certain things caught her eye, as was the habit of an alchemist. There were strange bright flecks in certain veins of stone. There were also plants and fungi that were growing here as well.
Janius stepped ahead and sniffed at the air again. He growled quietly.

Galbar should build a massive wall to keep the Arcronian immigrants from taking their jobs.
OR
We can do it the Vestec way and blow up several planets.
Yes.
Some background: This video came out something around a decade and a half ago, maybe more or less. Back then, Pauline Hanson was getting populist votes into the senate because she was able to channel the woes of the less fortunate into blaming Asian immigration for everything. Within a few years, a mining boom in her electorates made her fade into obscurity because the shouters and screamers got comfortable again.
Now that boom is over, the shouters and screamers are uncomfortable again. Unemployment has risen, the new migrants are Middle-Eastern and African, and -- like a rabbit out of a hat -- Hanson has magically been elected back into the senate with a couple of buddies. She made her maiden speech recently, warning about how we're all going to taken over by an incompatible culture (no deja vu at all), except this time we had a far-left party to get pissed at her and walk out partway through. The thing is, Pauline might have had a point about Islamic imperialist tendencies if it wasn't for a few things: 1. Australia isn't seeing the growing gated Muslim communities that are springing up in Europe; 2. Our police force isn't afraid to enforce the national law even if immigrants don't recognise it -- accusations of racism or no (sorry UK, but Rotherham is a bit worrying); 3. The only 'caliphate' that is going to have any chance of implementing Sharia law here is being attacked on more fronts than they have untraumatised brains between them and can only pull off lone-wolf attacks at best (many of which have been thwarted in Australia so far); 4. The ultraconservative Muslims in Australia are vastly outnumbered by the moderate/progressive ones; 5. If the economy improves in Queensland, the whole issue is more than likely to disappear in a puff of forgotten logic, just like last time; and 6. Dude, just you try making our immigration policies worse. It's like trying to polish a turd, except you're...trying to do the opposite.
And that's my extremely simplified recount of our very own Trump-wannabe. There are many other factors at play, many more than plain racism (though racism is certainly there as well). Anyone interested is encouraged to fill in gaps themselves.

Please tell me you've seen the music video made from her old quotes (back when she was making the same argument as today, except replacing 'muslim' with 'asian').
<Snipped quote by Muttonhawk>
You could say it's the suppository of all wisdom.
Hahaha, yessss, yessss, let's confuse all the foreigners with our slightly outdated topical political humour.
(Unless you guys have had Tony "Budgy Smuggler" Abbott on your news during his term. I don't know.)
No one questioned Meesei's command to step away from the pedestal. It was as much a mistrust of the machines in the ruin as her authority that guaranteed that.
The warband looked on with anticipation at the spinning rings. None of them knew what to expect. Relief outweighed anticlimax as the stairs revealed themselves. Janius stepped forward first to look down and sniff at the new passage. He looked to the rest of his pack expectantly.
Fendros stepped up next. He didn't give Ahnasha eye contact, but he spoke in am mutter. "I promise I won't skive off this time."
Sabine was more inquisitive. She ignored Fendros' insolence and asked Meesei. "Would the Falmer be down there as well?"
While the pack was lining up, Janius peered up at Kaleeth and then down the passage. It would be a tight fit for her at best, by the looks. She might have to transform back and retrieve her equipment. Indeed, Janius believed he could fit, but he would have a hard time manoeuvring.
