"Yes. Take us off aux power and onto the main."
"Yes sir. Main resort, village, and support infrastructure coming down."
Darian Telerath watched the lights go dark one by one from the control room. "Is that all of zone A?" He asked.
"Yes sir, we're prepping to being down zone b and the control room now."
"Alright, do it." The last of the lights went down, and in the control room only the technicians terminal remained illuminated by emergency lighting. Darian took a moment to appreciate the dark, the quiet, and the desert. Once they switched to the main, the dark, and the quiet would never return to this place. Darian was never one to be sentimental though. "Bring us up."
Lata Tarwa was alive in an instant, its lights blinded the control room, water roared through pipes and into fountains, screens, cameras, and escalators all began their endless tasks. "We're up sir." The technician said with relief.
"Zone b as well?" Darian asked.
"Yes sir, zone b as well."
"I see, well don-" Before Darian could finish he was interrupted by the clapping of an unassuming man in a wrinkled suit from the corner of the room. "Excellent, well done." He said. "How long ago since we started this?"
"Nine years." Darian responded. "One year ahead of schedule."
"We always new you were the right man for the job." Said the man in the suite with a fox grin. "Do you know what a service you've done for Alnaria here today?
Darian clenched his fingers around the railing of the control room. "No I don't, because none of you god damn suits will tell me."
The man's fox grin turned to a sad smile. "And we aren't going to now either I'm afraid. Just know that Zone b is of vital interest to the Primacy, and the advancement of the nation."
"Mhm." Darian replied. "For King and Country."
"That's the spirit. Anyway, if it makes you fell better I've been assigned as this site's permanent supervisor so we'll get to continue working together. Given the remoteness of this place I wondered if I might have my pick of the penthouses?"
Darian raised an eyebrow. "King, Country and Profit. Those penthouses will cover overhead for 20 floors below them. How does an executive suite sound instead?"
The man's fox grin returned. "You really were the right man for the job."
