2.3 - Mole Fight!

"Our intrepid Mole-Heroes Clay and Sandy confront the ugly face of Speciesism, unearth a hole to China (whatever that is), and “hang out” with our newest Moleperson Loamy."

Synopsis
Sandy and Clay arrive at a yoga studio to repair a hole. They are received by Davenport, who sees them as "vermin". When Davenport complains about them not working yet, they explain that they need special equipment for a vertical hole and that a technician is on the way. Clay trows a pebble into the hole, so they can try to guess how deep the hole is. When they don't hear it hit the bottom, Sandy says the hole probably goes all the way to China. Clay tries to guess what China is, tho Sandy claims it is just an expression.

Loamy arrives with the equipment and tries to do small talk with Davenport, who doesn't retort. She then straps herself into a harness and Clay and Sandy lower her into the hole. Twenty feet before Loamy reaches the ground there's a power outage. They let Loamy know she'll have to wait until the power comes back on. While they wait, Clay remarks that there've been an unusually high number of power outages lately, and he wants to know Sandy's theories on it. Sandy says that, according to Ol' Silty, time travelers are responsible, as the fluctuations in the space/time continuum caused by their arrival break the continuous flow of electricity in circuits, leading to power outages. Clay doesn't believe it, laughs at Sandy and calls her stupid. They get into a fight and both leave.

Loamy, still in the hole, asks to be let down another few feet. She can see a hole that's eight feet in diameter, and rocks that appear to have compound eyes. As ant sounds start up, Loamy asks to be brought up again.
