"The abandoned mine where we were stockpiling supplies—it collapsed! Everything is buried under rock!"
"What?!"
A buzz rang through Jason Sterling's head as if he'd been struck by a heavy hammer. His vision went black, and he stumbled, grabbing a handrail just to stay upright.
'Maeve Walsh's body is missing, the Space Ability is down the drain, and now even our most important supply warehouse has collapsed? What kind of shitty luck is this!'
"How could it collapse?! Didn't you go find the people who sold us the mine?"
"I did! Of course I did!"
Wyatt Sterling's roar was full of frustration and helplessness. "But they said the sale was finalized long ago and they're not responsible for any issues that came up after! I found a mining expert, and he said that these kinds of abandoned mines go unmaintained for years. The rock layers have loosened. Between water erosion and ground pressure, they can collapse at any time. The whole place is a high-risk zone!"
