Regenerated the world since I couldn't even start a new fort in the old one (0.44.05). Embarked on a sinster location with an aquifer, this should be a short game. There is the promise of plenty of metals including iron and also flux.

Chronicles

Year 1058
Spring
Dug down and found an aquifer 3 levels down. Dug horizontally and got everything inside and a gate built by 1/26. Built a small wall and a second gate above. The 10 gabbro we took along is very helpful otherwise we couldn't build mechanisms. Built plantworks, herdworks, deathworks, woodworks, drinkworks, foodworks all in the sand just above the aquifer. Put in a well. Slaughted the mule
Summer
Slaughtered the yak. Its a ressurecting environemnt. The donkey skin came back to life and had to be put down. Thankfully 4 of the dwares are armed, 3 with hammers. Migrants came. They just snuck by the two undead monitor lizards. We were attacked by and killed a monitor at the gate. Later an eagle and several more monitors, followed by a whole flock of undead parrots. The military is finding them easy kills only one wounded so far. Expanded the outer walls. Built a depot and laid in an extensive stockpile of wood.
Autumn
Traded for some much needed cloth. We reached dolomite beneath the aquifer. Once the caravan left closed the gates. Got the first level of the aquifer sealed off. Then a stupid miner drown digging the next level. He rose and killed the pump thrall. Now there are two bodies, one undead in the dig site. Gong to forbid it all, wall it in and restart peircing the aquifer somewhere else.
Winter
Dug all winter on the aquifer. Taking much longer than expected. The rest of the fort is sealed and on autopilot. Had to stop the butchering of dogs, didnt want undead dogs right now.
Spring
23 migrants arrived. Downward spiral has begun. Last stage of squifer building. Turned the pump around and started to the east. It spills abck and causes dangerous terrain drowning thwo thralls which rise later.
Spring
10 injured dwarves, 13 dead and an abandonment of the wide stair Wnd we are still not quite through the aquifer. We do have one square sealed off and are building stairs in them.
Summer
And failed. Removed a ramp and it converted to a down stair trapping a thrall on top them. He wont climb up. Assigned all labors and almost no one works. Abandoning the fort.
