4. The UC-San Diego campus had suffered a revolution in the last decades. The vibrant campus had been swept away by the Rose Canyon quake. The campus had reverted to a woodsy, low-density style, with buildings that might just as well have been prefab Quonsets. In a sad, sad way it reminded Robert of the campus’s earliest years. ***

5. The naked eye view showed concrete walls, seamed here and there with silvery lines. [ looking thru wearable lenses ]: As he stepped through the doorway, Robert’s view shifted to some kind of standard enhancements; now the lighting came from gas mantle lamps set in the walls. The shadowed concrete was gone. These walls were built from large stones, squared with chisels, fitted together. Robert reached out to touch the wall, snatched his hand back as he felt rough stone, not clean concrete!
