Max nodded, it sounded like a decent plan. Though he still wasn’t sure about the idea of creating a super cell to make it happen. “How bad will the weather get afterwards? You know, after the calm before the storm.”

He milled over the question for a short time. “Hundred to hundred fifty mile an hour wind potential for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. That’s even if a tornado actually forms, F1 to F2 range and the storm should level back out.”
K’sang, Science Cadet

Mara had listened to them speak, taking in everything they said… Give or take a few words since she had been lost in her own thoughts during the conversation.

“If a tornado doesn’t form, and my theory of dissipating the cloud works. Then the super cell charge would mean that the cloud would dissipate completely in say… 10-15 minutes? Though, K’sang could be right and a tornado could form. In all honesty sir, we really have no way of fully determining anything, and we’re at the full mercy of the universe being kind”

Max nodded, he didn’t like it though. They lit a super storm off above the mine, who knows how much damage it could actually cause. Especially if they didn’t get everyone off the ground.

“What would the effect be on the mine itself? I’d prefer not to set the mine on fire, or potentially cause it to explode. Who knows what that would do to the planet.”

Mara looked at Max with a slightly worried look on her face. She wasn’t too sure if there was a way to fully determine what will happen. But she at least knew of the possibilities.

“We can’t be fully certain what will happen. The cave could collapse completely, it could also partially collapse, but there’s a possibility that it’ll just rock a bit like an earthquake and rocks will fall… If it fully collapses there’s a chance the planet will also collapse, if it just rocks like an earthquake then maybe we’d be expecting an earthquake on the surface around 1-4 on the Richter scale. We need to determine if it’s worth it, and if not then we need new ideas.”

“Well keep working on it for now, I’ll run it past the Captain. It’ll be up to her to decide if it is worth the risk or not in the end. But in the meantime, we have to make sure we are ready for the first part of the mission. Getting this runabout ready to extract survivors from the surface.”

Max turned towards the Cadets and looked at them directly. “So, is the runabout ready?”
