Life And Limb (The Ebon Chronicles) - Plot & Excerpts
Ebon was standing beside the oil slick drilling machine when I emerged, and I managed the trek to him on the crutches with little difficulty. He looked up, cradling his arm in a sling. "It's a drilling machine," he said. "Yeah. I can see that," I said, "Let me guess, it drills for oil." "It has a nuclear engine inside it. Completely closed system for the most part. The reactor is strong, but safe. Won't melt down, and even if it does, the engine is small enough where it won't be a major catastrophe. The FNF engines on these Plexis models is, from what I've gathered, foolproof. The glass is burned from the soil as it drills down." "I'm sure the city will find a way to make fools out of themselves with it nonetheless," I said. He didn't laugh, instead nodding to it once more, "They'll get a lot of use out of something like this. With a reactor like this, it could easily drill a tunnel from coast to coast, or more. Until it decided to stop. A network of tunnels could be as useful as an underground city to those who knew what they were doing." "Where's Freezy?" I said.
