h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*A vast warehouse of the metals that took years to mine.*

*The Captain walks in guiding Lord Curmanis.*


[Captain]As you can see we have quite a bit of ore ready for building...since the attack on Imardin...we have stepped up our refinning.

*walks in after the Captain*

Yes. There is indeed alot of ore here. It would be enough. Thankyou, Captain.

[Captain]I hope so sir.


*Salutes.*

*smiles*

Do not worry. I have never liked that formal army stuff. I do not see the need for it.

[Captain]Sorry sir! I would like to point out, that even though we have a huge store here, it would take a ton of this ore just to make a few sheets of the strongest alloy metal....

*smile fades*

Oh. How long did it take you to mine this much?

[Captain] *Scrathes head..* Oh......I think about 9 months. It takes a while to refine it...

And how much of Imardin's walls could this be used for?

[Captain]Of course Imardin, everyones home town. All of this ore can be given to Imardins use...You may take what you need, but just remember it takes a while for this to be mined, refinned, sheeted, and if you want alloyed.

You misunderstand my question. How much of this would be needed to reinforce the walls of Imardin to how they were before the attack?

[Captain]Oh....uhh....well lets see here....


*The Captain looks around the warehouse.*


[Captain]Umm...a rough estimate would be about 3/5ths of the entire warehouse...of course thats to reinforce everything around the walls including the towers...more than that would be needed for the alloys.

Okay. Thankyou. I will check with the council as to how much we need.

[Captain]Sir..yes...sir!


*salutes.*

*smiles, but does not return the salute*

I have told you, there is no need for that. I will be leaving now. If anything happens that yu think I should know about, then just send me a message.

Goodbye.

*turns around and walks back towards the stables*
