I too did everything that Atheni did, but after UruFun I was able to get into Ahra Pahts right away. My only concern is when someone else does finish their shell(s) and is available to visit in Ahra Pahts - I don't know if my red book will update that in. As it stands, when you want to find the newest download it states "No mirrors available".
And Robert - that was actually funny finding myself someplace else! I swear I only touched the lever, but I guess that was enough. I was simply curious to find out if it moved at all. Well, the city is rather - static - at the moment.
