House Tindal. Physicist, Head of the Crystal One development team and all around curious man. A late term cancer patient, Dr. Gage heads out to Bellisarius Territory to settle his own curiosity about some flaws in the eyewitness reports. He now finds himself spending the last days of his life with his reformed team of Crystal One scientists in an attempt to prevent the literal end of the world.
It’s possible there was rail ingress at one time that was later dismantled. Given the surrounding desert I’d expect to see signs of it. The alternative is they use the “door” and eliminated the workers – which would have caused a major stink and a historical record. I’m wondering if he brought in people and materials from another world and later simply sent them home. No records, no history, no problems.
Materials, most likely. Enki even mentioned cannibalizing a world which was wiped clean of (sentient?) life through some catastrophe for his project.
He didn’t want to draw attention to himself by initiating a large scale construction project so he procured the mterials from off-world.
I can’t seem to recall any mention of people, though.
