Eventually most bits and pieces got put back together in some way. Computing Vault was rebuilt based on snippets of configuration scattered around the place, the wikis got brought back without images (until [[Rhys Milling|Rhys]] found a surprisingly recent backup and restored them), and all computing services were rebuilt.
