excerpt:
Hello and welcome! Come on in! I’m glad
To guide you through the halls of our Blue Palace,
Pride of Antat City! It’s too bad
That certain factions, bent on acts of malice,
Would not spare these walls from laser blasts
And plasma bombs. But see how they still stand!
The best Antat construction lasts and lasts.
Be careful on that stair there! Take my hand.
Just stay upright, and walk along this line,
And keep your wits about you. We’ll be fine.
