[b][center]Mor Of The Altenia Tower[/center][/b]

	Those that were working in the Mor with Ailen could find nothing out of the ordinary. Everything seemed fully place. All the people currently stationed to the Tower were alive and accounted for in their proper locations. Even those off shift were located. The ones that were working the mines and had been sent home for the day before everything happened were back and all had checked in. Video tapes were reviewed but still nothing showed up but it did not mean that someone didn’t do anything; it just meant that whatever may have happened was carried out in a place where the cameras were not functioning. Sadly that was not a short list of places. Thanks to Tristan, more than half the Tower was without proper surveillance and only the most needed places, such as the Mor and the Infirmary were fully covered.  

	The only things the tapes revealed was that the Twins were in their seats before the cameras went out and were in the commissary when they came back on. The third in command of the security division walked into the Mor after checking a few things out and headed over towards Ailen. “Sir,” Felme said as she pulled him aside. “Perhaps we are going about this wrong,” she suggested as she looked around for a moment. “Something like this would have taken time to put together, it’s not an overnight operation. Perhaps the target was the mine itself, not Silvia?” she said in a hushed voice. “Maybe she is just collateral damage?”

	Lou continued looking over the rescue efforts and was glad to see that the Jun’Krama was willing to go in. At least if something happened down there the man was physically strong enough to do something, perhaps if he could find Silvia, together, they could get back out. Turning he saw Jeremiah come back and nearly tackle the control panels and perked a brow. Something seemed off but it wasn’t something he was going to worry about right now. They had bigger problems at hand. Once the fan for the unit were turned off and rerouted elsewhere he gave a nod.

	“Okay big guy, hold on to your breakfast, this can be a little jumpy,” Sephro warned as he checked to make sure the Jun’Krama had the gear he needed to get into the mine. Taking a step back a purple translucent orb began to form around the Brax’Na leader; once it was stable Sephro took a step forward and drove a fist into the air as the Jun’Krama was lifted up quickly. As he approached the opening Sephro opened his hand and the motion slowed until it stopped in front of the ventilation and pushed inside it a few feet to make sure Jun’Krama was safely inside before releasing his mental hold on the orb and it fading from around him.


“Okay, secure your anchor to the outside of the wall and make your way down. It’s deep and there will be a drop to the ground into the mine shaft itself once you get past the fan. Be careful in there,” Lou called out from below and gave him a thumbs up as he chewed on the end of cigar before turning his attention back to those down there. 

“Back to work, we still need to get that mine entrance opened and secured. Moles, I want alternative exits in case that one gives away. Find a plan C,” he said before walking over to Marx who was sitting down now and taking a well-earned break after everything. “Keep calm kid, we’ll get her out.”

“Yeah, before or after the next cave in?” Marx quipped as he stared at the ground.
