“Model of Concept” presented to CoLab Management,in Support of our Written Proposal

A Simplified Habitat Module, Suspended in a Hole in a Block of Lava

No Land, No Sea:You Can’t Go Lower

ThanSCRITH,

20m Below Sea Level;

The Bottom of the World.We, therefore,

built up, Up, UP! so we would

have room to go DOWN.

We “poured” blocks of lava for future

development of “Phase 2”.

“Phase 1”, the topmost levels for the first

lavatube caves, came last, and its caves were

complex. The hollow mountain below would

someday be a giant “Phase 3” advanced

city.

Prng meditates after “topping out”. Still plenty to

do.

Our work platform hovered over an ever-changing landscape. We allowed

Without Notice”.

Observations of the weather below us

led us to our first White Paper: “The Extraterrestrial Plateau in Second Life”. Land above

280m was above most clouds and weather.
