Chapter 10 - A Little Less, Actually

by Brandon

thraxoff.jpgTimora Mines is not a particularly pleasant place. Not because anything especially heinous is going on, at least not that I recall seeing, rather it is because I have a bit of a problem. I have a fear of heights. It is not mind-numbing or anything of that sort, I just prefer to not be very high up. I don’t really think there is anything wrong with that.

The Mines, assuming you can get to them after traveling up a winding cliff to reach them, are also full of huge walls and crevices. It seems odd, of course, to be worried about taking a bit of a fall instead of getting blown apart by the Bane, but really it is all a matter of experiences. I have survived Bane assaults, I have never survived a sheer drop off a cliff.

That isn’t to say that I couldn’t, but I’d just prefer not to be testing this if at all possible.

Timora is interesting notably for the fact that when I was told what I was to do it appeared that they already knew actually accomplishing the goals they set out for me would be only a delaying tactic. I guess I’m becoming trustworthy enough for them to say that there may not always be some way in which my actions will single-handedly save the planet.

I appreciate this; I’m not much one for delusions of grandeur, and certainly not for perpetuating them in others. Still, there is a sort of sadness at having this spoken out loud to me.

The delay tactic, this time, was to take out the Mine leaders to slow down their operations. The majority of the Bane are basically bodies useful for holding guns with the trigger down. They are certainly not the brightest of foes when it comes down to their front-line fodder. Not that I would expect any more than that. Finding good help truly is difficult I guess, and replacing dead good help will take some time.

So, yeah, maybe I’m not single-handedly saving the world, but doing my part in something greater doesn’t feel too bad either.
