3.14 - Chatting with Loamy and Lucky

"Nathan Rourke travels the somewhat safer, much more official route down the corridors and up the elevators which lead to the Stormhawk, as he completes his next “assignment.”"

Synopsis
Nathan makes his way through the tunnels with a pushcart. He enters an elevator, Loamy is already inside. As they ride up, he asks her if she is Clay, which she negates. Nathan then asks after the newspaper Loamy has; Loamy proudly tells him about "The Daily Burrow", a newspaper for and by MolePeople. Aside from the usual newspaper fluff, it also contains hart-hitting stories, like an investigation of the death of Ol' Silty. According to Loamy, everyone believes that he was killed by Carnivorous Mold, as his skeleton appeared eaten and moldy, but Loamy thinks he was murdered by "them". This would make Ol' Silty the first Mole important enough to be assassinated, which makes Loamy both sad and proud. Loamy asks if Nathan would be interested in a subscription, but he is not.

Loamy leaves the elevator, Nathan waiting a moment before following outside. As Nathan leaves the elevator, the elevator calls him a murderer. He then runs into Loamy again, who froze because she has a problem with heights and the lack of safety outside of the tunnels. Nathan says he'll get help, and Loamy says she'll just wait right there.

Nathan makes his way across the Lightning Rig to Lucky Strike. Lucky isn't surprised to see Nathan alive, as he has informants in the city. Nathan thought Lucky would be happy to see him, but Lucky knows why Nathan is alive and why he's here. Nathan thinks Lucky is his only chance to get out of his current situation and asks for his help. Lucky says he should have come to him with the Containment Tube in the first place, and confronts him about the fact that he's been killing people. Nathan says he didn't have a choice, as M.U.R.D.E.R. would have killed him, to which Lucky replies that he should've died then. Nathan accuses Lucky that he promised him he'd be safe. Lucky argues that he didn't even know what was going on, and that it's Nathan's own fault for trying to do everything on his own.

Nathan begs, asking Lucky to take him away. He keeps seeing the faces of the people he killed, who trusted him. When Nathan mentions Tommy, Lucky snaps. Tommy was his friend and he hadn't been aware that Nathan was responsible for his death. Lucky tells Nathan, that Tommy meant more to him than Nathan does, and tells him to get off his Rig. He says Nathan crossed a line, and that he won't help him. Nathan says that more people will die, if he goes back, to which Lucky replies that he should kill him and tells him to run.

Trivia
