Angel had her own row to hoe, and it was all talking. Talking she started by demanding to know who was on gate duty, and which she bullied and aggressed her way up from there. Talking that escalated into the base commander-and the chaplain, an old drunk who liked his comforts and didn't like young brats. This was a harder prospect than she had expected, and by the time Donny was reaching near the apex, the shouts from the three of them were echoing across the yards. "-Spiritual contaminations-My flock-A gallant knight and-Unknown and undocumented heresy-I've never tolerated heresy in my life-I'll never tolerate heresy and I'll shoot any heretical man I see!"
At least the guards were distracted by the shouting, looking in that direction when they could catch a spare moment from smoking or staring bored out across the desert or the inner yard where...yes, there was a huge wheel with paddles shoving the spoil down a hole into the ground. It came out of one hole in the ground and was shoved down into another, how useless. Were they hitting the rock with hammers underground to shove it on a conveyer belt, that took it to a different underground place where more prisoners with hammers would smack it? That made about as much sense as anything else.
