Snippet #1389642

Giacomo set his signature on the paper and he gave a glance at the costs, in Beta he had seen bread that was more expensive, it made him wonder why the nobles didn't pay for water instead of clothes as charity, it was more beneficial than a piece of fabric and much more needed. As the receptionist basically asked him to help the lady, he looked up at the machine. He smiled as she said that it would hold for another ten minutes and said: "Well, at this point you shouldn't be surprised that you are without work tomorrow, even I can't maintain this machine at this point in it's decay. There is no saying how long it will hold, exept that I can garantee that it will hold for today. Should you hear anything disturbing, exit the building directly."

When the receptionist came back with the crates of water Giacomo grabbed one and shouldered it. Compared to the equipment and materials he was used to working with this was quite light. He walked after the lady and exitted the building through the door the lady had held open. "I ain't that familiar here, at least not as familiar as I used to be, and I am clueless to where your clinic might be, so if you would lead me the way." He said.

As they made way to the ladies clinic he suddenly remembered the strange way the lady had looked at him earlier, maybe it was because of his mixture in unusualities. After all he was a man from Gamma who had worked himself into Beta in the scientist guild, and of course there was his 'appearance' that wouldn't fit anything of the ordinary. He decided he had some things to expain to her, as in any case it would be unusual for a man from Beta to offer anything without a favor, maybe she thought he wanted something to have done with his problem. "It's rather unusual for someone from Beta to give something without anything in return, isn't it? I'm not into politics that much, but I'd blame the poeples ignorance for this. They don't know how it is to live in such, it would be rude to say misserable so let's keep it with unfavorable conditions. Something I have, I actualy was born in Gamma and lived there for quite some time. My parents payed themselfs into their deaths to send me to the scientists guild, they in fact gave their lives to give me the bright future I have. Well, as bright as it is, I am still stuck with the most grimm of all views. I've seen and undergone things that will change a man, this... This is one of those changes." He says and he runs his hand over a crystalized piece of his face. "It's a bother, but one that I'd rather live with than without." He continued.

A block further Giacomo sees an object fall from the sky, just in time he could use his monocular to see what it was. A small aircraft, with a living human inside. Mere moments later a loud almost explosion like sound and the rumble of the earth confirmed his fears, the craft had in fact crashed. "There was a human on board, maybe even more, we have to go and help them." Giacomo said with a dead serious expression on his face. From walking Giacomo jumped into a sprint going straight for origin of the large plumes of smoke that came from the crash site.
