I just ran another character up to the "Ta-Koro Ensign" point, and hit the bug. The Quarry key was Lewa's. For the second time I gave the "Letter to the Astrologer" to the Astrologer and got the Gnomon, which is stuck in my backpack because, of (...) (23 years ago, 2-Dec-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

With any luck I'll be able to get more shots of it actually working; I'd like to get shots of (...) (23 years ago, 2-Dec-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.au)
