Event: Day 001
[Though there are some outliers, the final choice is clear. They cannot go back, and they cannot give themselves up to the mercy of the Skyway. So, that leaves just one last choice.
The change is abrupt, with the land shifting as soon as Nathaniel puts in the last Core and inputs the last command. The land of the Bastion itself, and the Skyway for miles around, begins to shift. Everyone within the Bastion itself is protected by the Bastion's barriers, which is a good thing since the entire process itself seems to be pretty unforgiving. Chunks of land go here and there, piling on top of one another in a vaguely spherical shape. The sphere grows, and grows, and keeps on growing until it is so large that the people in the Bastion can no longer see the curve of the sphere from its surface.
Next comes the water, and the plants, and the animals. Anything that wasn't taken in by the Bastion is made in an instant, springing out towards horizons yet unfound. Next comes the sun, and the moon, and eventually an entire solar system. The other planets (though not visible at this point) do not get the same love and care as the first, though, and are largely uninhabitable hunks of rock, serving only to stabilize the orbit of this new solar system. Anything lush and full of life is taken to the Bastion, and fit into the first planet.
Time seems to stretch on for ages, and yet only minutes pass. Anyone with vertigo might get hit particularly hard as the process finishes up, and the Bastion shudders and chugs to suck out every last drop of power from the Cores and Shards. It's going to be close, but there might just be barely enough.
Finally, the shaking stops, and the world goes calm. The Bastion itself powers down one last time, the lights flickering off on every automated system. With no power, they have no way of running. The systems are still present, though, should some way of making power be found.
Though unpowered, the Bastion remains, plopped down in the middle of a large forest at the base of a mountain. All of the buildings remain intact, and all of the people remain unharmed. The one last bit of power, left untouched by the Bastion's power-drain, is the ever-present glow of the Skyway bridge. It is unknown where it goes now, though. Perhaps to locations beyond what was used to make this solar system? Exploration will have to take place to find out for sure.
But it is here, at the birth of the first city on a new planet at the start of a new solar system, that everyone can finally relax and say the words that have gone unsaid for a year now.
We're home.]

At least we won't have to watch our steps quite as much.
Who knows what's out there now? Once we get things squared away around here, maybe we should build a palisade, give ourselves an extra layer of defense just in case.

Nothing too intimidating. We don't want to scare off anyone looking for shelter, but something to keep out wild animals is a good idea. We should set up a perimeter watch in the meantime.

Besides, as long as they're staying here, it's in their best interest, too.

[He thinks for a moment.]
We really need to know what skills everyone has, who knows electrical stuff, who knows farming, who knows carpentry, and who's willing to learn.

Food could be a problem... I don't think they really got into the feast Rin was trying to throw them, so we'll be fine tonight. But after that we probably want to think about rations.
no subject
We can't eat any of our fish and game either; since we don't have the Monument anymore we'll need to wait until they build up a good population. Hopefully there's animals somewhere close by in this world, otherwise we might have to rely on what crops we have.

If all else fails we can always eat Zahi.
