[Mayaka has wandered off close by to experiment digging into the soft earth and rock with her claws.]

Yeah. Are we just meant to dig until we find something? [During the briefing, they were allocated a specific area to comb, but even so, how would they go about doing this?]

[edgewater]

Yep!

[ they're looking for iron, so parvati's content to carve out tougher rocks with her tools while the other two take on the softer stuff. the spire's dampness means a fair bit of it already is relatively soft -- which leaves the younger two with plenty to do while parvati supervises and does the more difficult part. ]

Like Toxicroak said, we're looking for iron. But I'm sure finding other minerals'll be just as good! [ thumbs up! ] I'd avoid digging too close into the walls, 'cause we can't be sure how stable those'll be with holes. Stick to what's already been dug out.

[ because above all, parvati holcomb values workplace safety. ] I will be here to keep an eye on you both, so don't be scared to ask me for help.

[Did until you find something. But not near the walls. Got it... Except Aelita was rapidly realising that she was not built for this.

Her small claws could dig in the softer sections of earth. But she couldn't get through the harder sections and pebbles? She had to stop and haul the small rocks out of the little pit she was making.

It was only about two inches deep when she poked her head back out.]

What other minerals are there?

[She's rolling another pebble out.]

[sharpjustice]

[Mayaka jumps back from the wall in shock after hearing Parvati's advice, and quickly refocuses her attention on the large mounds of dirt that seem safer to sift through.

Midway through this, she can hear Aelita struggling behind her. Mayaka walks up and very carefully uses her claws to help clear the pebbles and rocks still in the little pit the Dedenne was making.]

I don't know much about minerals, but they should be easy to spot in the ground because they'll come in different colours, or they'll be shiny. Right, Parvati-chan?

[edgewater]

I think it depends, but the stuff we're looking for'll be one of the two. Someone else can probably sift through and identify it all.

[ she's here to search for shinies, but she's not too good at identifying unrefined materials. she misses her nice manmade alloys from home at times, but there's nothing wrong with stripping back to the basics. it's interesting to her that the minerals seem to be largely in-line with what she's read about earth's own metals.

parvati looks over her shoulder from where she's carving into a rock. ] They'll stand out for sure - just toss anything that doesn't feel like what you're digging through out, too. Might find a treasure.
