As OP and I have been through; figuring out exactly how it's supposed to look isn't the easiest of things. Bear didn't do a good enough job at describing it if you ask me: [quote]Imagine a planet a hundred thousand kilometers in diameter, sliced latitudinally like one of Riser's favorite fruits. Allow those slices to drop in parallel against a plate. The slices are then pierced through their lower rims with a stick, the plate is removed, and the slices are fanned out in a half-circle. Now decorate each slice, like a round stair step, with an almost infinitely dense array of structures, and surround it with golden swarms of ransports and Sentinels and a dozen other verieties of security patrols, thick as fog. . . .[/quote] [quote]My domicile, on the outskirts of the equatorial disk-city, bore the Council's ausere yet supremely comfortable hallmark.[/quote] I like the result though. Can imagine a lot of amazing frames from within and around it.
