Chapter 202 - Moving Forward
Abigail
"Honey, you need to stop checking that." Jon sighed as he saw his wife checking the same screen once again.
She knew he was right, but she couldn't help herself. The pylon leadership screen was her only way of knowing everything was alright—well, not alright, but it was the only thing she could do.
For weeks, she had the screen pop up whenever she had free time or the worry reared its ugly head. Every time it opened, there was a split second where she prayed with everything she had that his name was still there.
"I can't help it, Jon." She said dejectedly.
He heard the despondent tone and came over and wrapped his arms around her. The sense of security in his embrace barely enough to ward off the evil thoughts her brain thought up.
"He's stronger than he looks. I would know. Him and that hammer could thrash me even without his more powerful skills." Jon said, trying to ease her mind.
Abigail knew how strong her brother was but it was a fundamental problem in her mind to worry. She knew the lengths he would go to protect everyone. The danger he would throw himself into.
Still, she couldn't let it distract her from the goings on here. It was her job to hold down the fort and she would do it spectacularly. They were already ahead of schedule on most projects even without the additional manpower that had left.
She ran through the checklist in her mind.
The farms are ahead of schedule with everything already planted and growing.
The quarry caught up as the Miners gained levels and the reserve of stone is growing.
