Locomotive Musings by
Ferrus

You know those archway-
gate things you see on the
rails sometimes?

Who MADE them? WHEN?
And WHYYYY?

I was up all night pondering
these questions, but I
worked out a hypothesis.

I think you can use them to
break the space-time
continuum! Cool, huh!

There seem to be two types
of these space-time gates.

I'm pretty sure you can use
both of them to warp to
and from places.

One type has a triangle at
the top of the arch, and the
other doesn't.

I think they work in pairs
and that hitting the triangle
does something.

I tried throwing rocks at a
gate triangle to the south
of Anouki Village...

But bummer of all bummers,
I couldn't reach it. I guess
my arm is too weak.

That's why I'm starting a
new push-up regimen until I
can hit the darn thing!
