[Post] The old metro is about to explode!
The Old Capital Metro renovation project has begun. The contractor Vision Corporation is about to launch the first demolition operation on the project site.
Vision estimates 30 demolition operations will be needed to complete the project. A special demolition command center has been set up, and is currently transporting Ether explosives to the site of the first explosion: Canvas Street.
Two voices remain consistent in commentary about this metro renovation project: "Recycle it" and "Rebuild over it." Vision is in the latter camp. Recently, several media pundits interviewed Charles Perlman, chief representative of Vision, and this newcomer to the industry repeatedly expressed the necessity of rebuilding the metro and Vision's determination to do so.

I read the interview and he didn't say squat about why the metro had to be blown up and rebuilt! I just remember Perlman saying how he is "hands-on" with his work, and how he always pilots his own airship in to work...
Is that how rich people get hands-on with their work...?

I think it's a waste to blow up everything and rebuild it. After all, many old metros can still be repaired and reused, and the dust from demolition is bad for the environment. Back when I was just a kid, I used to go and draw sketches of Canvas Street and it used to be filled with style. Maybe I should go back for one last hurrah before it's blown up?

The Dead End Hollow over by Canvas Street has been expanding, and the road to Canvas Street from town is all blocked up.
Plus, the Ethereal in there is utterly terrifying, so don't even think about trying to get through there or hiring some random Proxy to be your guide.

Ah, no way.
Hang on. Isn't Vision supposed to be taking explosives over there? How are they going to do that if it's blocked?

Post #3 is right. My cousin works at the HIA and said there's a really vicious Ethereal at the Dead End Hollow who's way too tough for any of the normal Investigators to handle. I guess only the elite Investigators can take care of it?
But Vision never went to the Association, probably because of how long it would've taken. They've got some kind of special train to shift the explosives into the tunnel through the Hollow. The Ethereals won't attack a target that isn't alive.
