Report on the Northwestern Coast of New York

2407 Circa post-Awakening — Expedition EX2407pD-QW

This Report on the Northwestern Coast of New York documents the first observations made after orbital descent and serves as a comparative baseline for future inland explorations. 

No biological remnants or recent radiogenic signatures have been detected, suggesting a state of relative environmental stabilization.

The absence of symmetrical patterns in the orography rules out any direct human intervention after the collapse.

In conclusion, the Report on the Northwestern Coast of New York suggests that the shoreline was modified before humanity’s final abandonment of the region.

After the global nuclear war of 2053, Earth’s surface was devastated and humanity nearly extinct. From the remnants of technological civilizations emerged Morris Sic, a constructive intelligence that directed the creation of Deep City—an underground metropolis designed to preserve post-human consciousness. 

In its deepest levels, three castes coexisted: the HUMANS (robots with human identity), the BIOS (synthetic biological entities), and the ROBS (machines devoted to structural maintenance).

Deep City stands as both an archaeological ruin and a living organism—a digital echo of the civilization that once was.

First Report on New York

Author: Dr. Noam Ørbital – Expedition EX2407pD-QW

I have established the first camp over the remnants of what was once the northeastern coast of New York. This First Report on New York constitutes an initial observation of the terrain before beginning the decryption process of the Ilghal fragments. 

At first glance, the environment presents an altered topography, with cubic structures partially emerging beneath a layer of glassy silt. No biological activity has been detected; ambient radiation remains at levels incompatible with any complex life form.

Optical recording systems confirm the geometrical alignment of what used to be urban axes. The still-discernible grid appears consistent with the former layouts of Manhattan and the industrial mainland sectors. In this preliminary stage, interpretation of such patterns remains purely descriptive. 

The atmospheric darkness, combined with the refraction of metallic dust in suspension, creates an abyssal depth effect that obscures the distinction between surface and subsurface.

No recent signs of human or robotic intervention have been found. Thermal traces indicate that the structures have remained stable for centuries. However, the uniformity of the elevations suggests constructive activity after the initial collapse. This may imply that part of Deep City’s infrastructure extended into this area, or that automated excavation systems reached the surface level during the early phases of the project.

The last known reference from the EX2101pD-WG expedition places Doctors Pit [reloaded] and Mars Attacks not far from this location. Their disappearance remains without verifiable explanation. Local magnetic readings continue to show interference possibly caused by active Ilghal devices buried beneath the sedimentary layer.

This First Report on New York is archived as the starting point for investigating a possible connection between the devastated surface and the lower chambers attributed to Deep City. From this moment forward, I will initiate the deep-scan protocol and encrypted-signal search.
