The mines were lit by the occasional glowstick; their eerie yellow light caused strange shadows on the walls as Blake and Humbot descended. They passed few other people (or androids). Blake did his best to put the facts that they were a) under thousands of tons of rocks and b) expendable (as heretics and discarded androids who occasionally lapsed into hypertext would be).
"The report states that there is a lode of luthracite up ahead, Blake. However, there is no easy way to get there."
Blake considered. Recovering some luthracite would earn them both extra time in the yard, and possibly the respect of the other heretics.
"Let's go for it," he said.
