Worn out and sweaty, Elise sat down with a heavy sigh. Man! I never realized how hard it was drilling underground!

She stretched, rolling her head and reaching up to rub her neck where it was cricked. I thought you were just going to observe, but Virgil got a little carried away and had me doing first aid and carrying stretchers from the garage to the Mole. I can't figure out how I didn't screw up!

She rolled her eyes and shook her head a little. Deep down she'd been a little too scared for her liking and was more than happy when Virgil told her to go back to TB2 and wait.

She let the coolness and quiet of the cabin roll over her for a little while. Here, the sounds of sirens and hungry flame and falling masonry were muted. Only the murmur of communication between the operatives and the occasional clicking over of relays could be heard.

Can I do this? Can I live this life? She took in a deep breath and let it out through her nose. I keep going back to that rescue in Russia. It resonated with me so much. Particularly the orphans. I know how desperately they needed someone to love them and tell them it was going to be all right.

Elise got up, her arms wrapped around her as if cold. She gazed out of TB 2's windows at the rescue operation, watching as the equipment was put to work. I only hope the people here have someone to tell them it's going to be okay, too.

Lifting her gaze, she let her eyes sweep over the panorama, over the still raging inferno that was once Mendoza. "God, I hope we can save as many as possible," she muttered softly.
