Why should I not be ok?"</span><br/><br/>He looked at her dumbfounded, at he wondered if she meant, if he was ok with diving headfirst into some strange relationship.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"If you mean us, I am more than ok with that too. I would probably call myself an idiot the rest of my life, if I would pass on the chance to win you over. You are some special girl, Alice. Not an easy one, I will probably go crazy over your stubborness, but one you don't find on every corner, if you find her at all."</span><br/><br/>The men in front of them had reached sole 64 and fresh hands took the stretcher from them and continued with Bull to the next sole. Peter had a look into the large tunnel leading away from the lift. It was quite the contrast to sole 65 with its man-high tunnel. Here the tunnel was 50 yards high and 100 yards wide and some of the large manipulators were standing near the lift, unmanned, waiting for the next shift which wouldn't come soon. It was the first time Alice was on a real productive sole and the differences were gigantic.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"That's how the other soles look like. And now imagine that the complete tunnel is blocked and the ceiling came down. Can you imagine how desperate we are to get into those manipulators and open the tunnel to look for survivors? And how those guys on the other side feel? But those guys know that we will try to get through to them. When I had been trapped in a sole not bigger like 65, I expected nobody to come looking for me..."</span></div>
