Neggi sighs but looks out at the waters. “The stadium has the best pumps in Ka’Pandol. They’re here in case something goes wrong during a game, ya know? We tried turning them on to help with the floods, but they backed up on us. Everytime we try to drain the stadium, the damn pumps stop up. Everytime we pump water into the sphere, it fails and we get more than we had before. The only way we can even keep working is to push the water out to the rest of city and that’s not helping anybody!”

He sighs again and looks up at the arch before turning his head back down to the hole. “We were thinking that if we got all these old motors running again, we could do a check of the whole system to see what’s wrong. But because the equipment is so old and outdated, it won’t work at all. They need parts and rewiring and- We upgraded the equipment years ago. Never thought we had to use these again, and now look where we are.”

He shakes his head, at a loss.
