There is no surviving record of precipitation before the event.

Atmospheric reconstructions indicate sustained luminosity without cloud formation. The sky functioned as a source of light and orientation, not threat. Hydrological cycles appear only as theoretical models within the material, discussed academically and without urgency.

Structures were not designed for water.

This conclusion is consistent across all recovered impressions. Architectural references describe open terraces, elevated walkways, exposed chambers, and vertical observation towers. There is no evidence of sealing, drainage, or reinforcement against saturation. No erosion patterns are noted, no sediment lines, and no decay associated with prolonged exposure to moisture.

The environment did not require protection from above.

The sky was studied.
Not feared.

Initial condensation is recorded as an anomaly. Several notations treat it as a phenomenon worthy of measurement rather than response. The earliest references describe gathering density, changes in light refraction, and alterations in air pressure. None suggests alarm.

Repeated statements appear throughout the fragment, written in different hands, across different intervals:

“Accumulation will stabilize.”

This assumption appears multiple times.
It is never challenged.

The record begins to degrade shortly after.

—text loss—
—pressure without direction—
—sound described as mass—

At least one surviving reference suggests the descent was continuous rather than episodic. The phenomenon is not comparable to any known cycle. We cannot frame it as weather.

Not rain.

Release.

Language breaks down as the structural framework fails. Terminology shifts from observation to reaction. Measurements cease. Descriptions lose connection. Several sections collapse into metaphor or repetition before cutting off entirely.

One partial sequence remains legible near the end of the segment. It contains no analysis.

Only response.

“…the ground no longer remembers its shape.”

No further material survived intact.

Fragment ends.
