0D. Kantoku's Return
Time stop/extreme slow will work to prevent contamination of a contained object.
In year 7, someone proposes that Nexus be placed inside a Portal bubble and moved to a zone inside Auraluna - Anima's Nexus. In year 70, someone creates a massive technology-based city-block sized 2D entrance portal in Nexus that connects directly to Auraluna, and allows unlimited energy-free passive transport between the two. The two amalgamate under Auraluna, with the individual districts of Old Nexus keeping their autonomy.
Tree-Ship Conversions are made and put a bit of a strain on the company's coffers, but the action is rewarded by customer loyalty and respect.
By the end of the 150 years, the metal/life-tree-based Dysonsphere is completed.

The company experiences a few years of financial stress, but remains intact and affairs with the times.
The time mages appreciate the business, and some are hired directly by Anima.
Anima is able to keep in step with the technology of the Comowe people due to their trade relations. This is post-scarcity level tech, but not yet up to The Culture series level. Which sciences will Anima focus on developing?
Gearfs and Narfs both excel in the same kinds of Magus as Dwarfs since they are both descended from Dwarfs, with the addition of appropriate fields and elements. Dwarfs send their children to the schools also. By the end of the 150 years, the wars of Djunk are ended. Their only remnant is the culture of Warriors engaging in voluntary non-lethal battles for the ownership of voluntarily wagered items. Additionally, territories can be expanded only into unclaimed areas, and claim disputes can be judged by a non-lethal battle between 2 Champions if both parties agree, or by being given to the party with fewer resources.
Company funds allow, so new schools are opened.
