Buck sent me some great new pictures and info about what they’re doing on The Dome at Pole. I thought they were rebuilding it, but, alas, it’s coming down after thirty years of housing the scientists, researchers and Polies. Since it was only supposed to last ten, they must have done a pretty good job of it.

Deconstruction begins.
The new wing in the background.
The panels begin to disapparate.
Faster and faster.
