"The expansion is going well and the first stage should be completed in a few weeks." Abigail listed from her sheet, "Are you any closer on the elevator research?"

"I'm getting there," I said, holding back a sigh. It honestly wasn't on the top of my list of priorities, but I wasn't going to tell her that. "Miles will have better luck than I will."

Abigail scoffed, "You really think his living gondola will work?"

"Hell if I know. Doesn't hurt to try."

Miles claimed that an easy way to facilitate travel up and down the cliff face was through a Living Gondola. He proposed finding a vine or creeping plant and growing it into a sort of lift to bring people up and down.

It would require Nature or Plant Mages to run, but it wasn't that far-fetched of an idea when you thought about it.

"I'd trust an electric elevator over plants," Abigail was against the idea. "We also don't have a lot of Nature Mages and those we do are focused on planting."

Her eyes searched through the Meeting Room filled with the entire Council to find Phillips. He was in charge of most of the expansion effort and was our Head Builder. "Phillip, how goes the rollout of electricity?"

That was a milestone everyone celebrated. Miles and Gabriel had finally cracked it. It took nearly 8 months since returning, but it was nice to have the win.

"With most of my crew held up with the expansion effort, the rollout is slow but moving. Being able to sink the wires into the ground instead of ripping everything up is perfect." Phillip reported.
