While the heroes look for a way to close the floodgates, the wheedling voice of Dr. Null boom's the speakers attached to the six robots outside the second powerhouse.
You have defeated my Iron Juggernaut, but it won't help you in the end. I have set my machine into motion. My Seismic Converter was to be my gift to humanity, limitless energy for all mankind. But you weren’t worthy were you? No, you just take and take and take. You were jealous of my genius, jealous of my vision. You’re ants, petty bitter ants, and I was a fool not to see it.”
“Oh, you’ve vexed me. Your arrogant heroics have been a thorn in my side, too often. But I see now that it is fitting that it should come down to this, that I give my gift back again.”
“I built the Seismic Converter to absorb the energy from the tectonic movement in the earth itself and then transform it into electricity, but I’ve come up with a far better use for it. A trivial matter to reverse the process and use the electricity of this dam to create oscillations in the planet’s crust, an earthquake of a magnitude the world has never dreamed!”
“Would they remember the man who tried to help them, tried to rescue them from endless toil? No, but they will remember the man who brings their cities down around them, the man who brings this world to its knees!”
A loud ominous sound emerges from the power station. The sound of a jet engine leaps to their minds. The earth shudders in a small spasm.
OOC: Going to be out of town for a week for on top of a two week vacation I had planned. This is probably agood stopping point for a bit. We are nearing the end.
