Narrator: Station offices, tier 10, the new "top" of luna's hellevator

Hellevator Suit 1: Sir, the counterweight station is gone, and an explosion just took out tier 11.

Hellevator Suit 2: So, technically we're not in orbit anymore.

Hellevator Suit 1: I guess not.

Hellevator Suit 2: Which means we are now FALLING.

Hellevator Suit 1: I don't like the sense of urgency in your voice.

Hellevator Suit 2: Oh, it's nothing urgent. We've got a couple of days to jury rig the grav systems before the accelerated final collapse begins...

Sign: Tier 10

Hellevator Suit 2: ...Killing everyone living within a kilometer of the equator

Hellevator Suit 1: See! It's that tone of voice I don't like.
