The first thing which hit me was the fact it was dark. The unfamiliar buildings, street lamps, and crowds walking around with their phones out provided light, so it was easy to look around.
Despite the late hour, it was very hot there. Much hotter than the temperature from _Petrograd, especially after the removal of the dome.
The whole place looked strange. It took me a moment of looking around with an open mouth to realize that I indeed was in the correct place. Over the years a lot has changed.
The first thing I should mention was the size of the city center. It was bigger. Much bigger. Very crowded, but because of the size it didn't look that bad. I saw nightclubs and fancy restaurants everywhere. It seemed like the city expanded a lot.
The device expanded too. It was, judging by the size around the seventh upgrade. Not as strong as the one in Petrograd, but you could see why with a single look around. Arc was bigger and full of life.
