[b][u]The Mines[/u][/b]

           Karras had his men moving faster and faster. Then Marx seemed to find a blood pool belonging to Trevor. He sighed,... "Well at least he can get a proper burial." He said. [i]Lets just hope he is the only one we will be digging a grave for. Damn that woman,...[/i] He thought in his head. "Damn that woman,.... she better not fucking die. I don't care if she is a woman, how dare she give my people hope for a better life. Then go and get herself stuck in a mine shaft. That's why you always send someone else to view the mines not the person who runs the whole show...." He said. He could not understand his own words or the meaning behind it. Did he seriously get worried over a damn woman? Perhaps he was more worried for his people. If Tristan got back into power his people would go back to starving and living of supply drops every month. He looked to his people and he was wondering if maybe they needed a change in how they saw the world. Right now this woman was their life line.

       He decided to voice it to his people. "I am sorry, I know from the way I just sounded that it sounds like I am worried about a woman,..." He paused. His people looking up at him with raised brows. " This woman, isn't just some ordinary woman living in our village. She is the new tower lead replacing Tristan. With what I saw being sent our way afterwards our people would never have to starve again because of that woman.... I don't know about you ,but one woman might have lead to the near destruction of our people. It is also one woman that is saving us from fading out into nothing." He said. His people looking to each other and back to him. "This woman is our life line,.... and you might not like it, I have mixed feelings about it as well. BUT, if we don't get her out of here its back to Tristan, don't know about what you guys think but this woman is a upgrade from Tristan. A huge upgrade from that,... so you and the rest of our people can decide to continue hating woman and not help her and let our people die because of something as foolish as pride, or you can accept the fact that this Silvia isn't no chaos goddess and save her. There is more at stake here then you know. Our very survival is dependent on it. Ailen and Srath won't always be able to sneak supplies to us...." He reminded. They all looked to each other and sighed. They hated to admit it but their leader was right. Anything was better then Tristan at this point. He then looked up at the ceiling. He saw the fans not moving. "If we don't get those back online she will suffocate in there, before we reach her." 

  No sooner then did he say that, that some man rejoined them and with a few tweaks and work the power was turned on. Several lights in the cave going back on and he looked to the puddle. "Yup that is most certainly your friend Trevor,..." He said and then looked up to the ceiling the fans going around. He nodded. "Alright lets get his shit done!... " He said as he continued pulling rock from the cave. That was until he saw the moles.... "Those might be faster,... you think we can use those without the.... cave collapsing even more?" He asked Gwen and Marx.

      "They are in the mess hall?......eating..... I mean it's not like they are not allowed to, but it is still their shift. If they wanted some damn soup I would have gone down and grabbed some of my instant crap and brought it up for them...... wait they are there,.... Tristan is in here. Nothing bad has exactly happened except for the mines." He said. He clicked the button to take the elevator back up to the mor and once he got back into the room he looked about. His eyes narrowing as he tried to focus. "The T&C's have been cancelled right?.... " He said to Craig. He then walked over and sat in the main chair. He tried seeing it from the twins point of veiw. He moved to sit in the extra chair and gestured for Craig to sit next to him. "Lets just go there my friend,... We are the Twins, and we are in league with Tristan. With a good distraction like the mines happening and the computers taking a short shit. What would you gain by going to the mess hall to eat?." He said. "Or perhaps they did something in between their journey from here to the mess hall, and made us think they were just hungry. They are bringing our attention onto them for a reason......" He continued. 

       He slammed his fist down and got up throwing his hands in the air. "Damn it!,... liked it better when I was just stopping riots. This mind fuckery that they are doing to us is pissing me off. They are probably laughing at us right now. We are missing the big picture here and it could be right in front of us and...... wait with them in the comissary and Silvia in the mines.... it's as if they are telling us, by GTC regulations someone has to sit in the seat no matter what. It is as if they are telling us to slam Tristan back into the seat...." He kicked a chair in frustration. "If only I could use a damn large black crystal I would say fuck you to them and try it....." He then thought of what was at stake here and then looked to the seat. He had the skill, he was a teir 1 after all. The only thing that stopped him from the large crystals was his sensitivity. He did not feel anything from the shard in his arm, but it was probably because of the arm's modifications. There was a lot at stake right now and he did not want to release Tristan from holding.

        He did not want them to win,.... Silvia is risking everything for this. Her pocket book for one and the risks she took saving him and will likely take for everyone else. She was willing to do so much for everyone not caring about her own state. He felt he needed to step up and risk something too. For the whole day he had thought selfishly. Could he use the giant black crystal just for a short time until Silvia got back or the twins?..... "T&C has been cancelled right?... so no catching or sending transports....... so using the black crystal has just been lowered to a minimum right?" He asked Craig.

    "I am a teir 1 talent, logically I am able to control a black crystal....so it wont be against regulations." He moved and sat in the main seat again. "I ain't letting Tristan out of that damn floor,... no fucking way am I letting them win like this. I don't care if my brain dies in the process. Once Silvia returns this tower will be back online...." He said. He wasn't going to take any lip from Craig. "Also Craig, before you give me an order to not do what I am about to do. Back in the hangars. Silvia gave me a direct order that I follow her orders from now on and only hers. So don't you even think about it. OR would you rather let TRistan out and let him win? There is more at stake right now then me...... everyone in this tower is at stake. The smiles she gave them, the lives she has improved in a day no less..... to let that all go to ruin now.....No Fuck it, if it means I spend the rest of my days in a god damn asylum I will if it means I did my part."
