| When: Day 27, Month 10, Turn 21 (Interval 10) |
| Late in month 10, the first of the Smiths, Miners and Starcrafters arrived at High Reaches to begin work on the new Eye Rock, and the repairs to the bowl wall. With them, as well as a few apprentices, they brought a string of prisoners from the Crom Mines-- common practice, they claim, intended to do the heavy lifting, the grunt work. There are plenty amongst the weyr who are outraged, of course, at the idea of criminals - albeit those near the end of their sentences, serving for minor crimes - living and working at the weyr for the forseeable future. Can they be trusted? Is it safe? Surely the weyr should have been told in advance! Surely they should have been given the option. For now, the prisoners have been housed in tents in the bowl, out where the construction is going on. With winter coming in, though, that's not going to be sustainable for long, and eyes are increasingly glancing towards the hole in the bowl wall, with the suggestion that, well, if there's nothing else using that bit of cliff, would a few rough caverns really be such a problem? |
