035 Facets - [Text] (He's actually feeling for a faultline in this icon)

[wears_a_torc]

So does anyone know anything about the local fault lines are?

[an_investment]

No. I don't, but I think we should find out soon where they're located.

[wears_a_torc]

That's what I was thinking. Two small quakes this close together is not a good sign.

[an_investment]

We should prepare for the worst, maybe set up a shelter to be safe.

[wears_a_torc]

Having a shelter standing by would be a good idea, but only the wearhouses in the industrial sector would be big enough I think, and they'd have to be cleared of monsters first.

...I could have dug one If this had waited another week.

[cerebral_foxy]

Fault lines?

Would there be one close by? Considering we're by a lake...

[wears_a_torc]

I don't know, but there's been two quakes today Tails. Something must have caused them and there could be more coming.

There's more likely to be one to the south since there mountains that way.

Tails is not a morning foxy xD

[*Yawn*]

I know, I've been cleaning up my lab all morning. The first one woke me up.

Considering the size of the tremors, either the Earthquake epicenter is beyond the mountains- or the fault line isn't unstable.

Yet.

Aww

[wears_a_torc]

I'm hoping it's a stable fault line and that its going to stay that way. But we know what our luck is like.

[imgreenbitch]

Dude, fault lines? It was just a couple small shake ups.

[wears_a_torc]

I'm just trying to make sure it doesn't get any worse than that.

[imgreenbitch]

Well, ya got me there Knucklehead.

[lyraofoxford]

It wasn't very big. There might not be any around here.

[wears_a_torc]

There should be a few dormant ones around the mountains at least. If it was one of them that caused this then it probably won't get any worse. I'm just trying to make sure.

[lyraofoxford]

Hmm, maybe I should ask about it...

[wears_a_torc]

Ask who?

[foxtamer]

Hmm, I can help look for them with my son, and his friend, if he wants to join as well. Naruto's capable of duplicating his body many times over... although the clones disappear with a single injury. We might have to help him know what to look for, though....

[wears_a_torc]

That's an interesting skill.

They can be hard to find if you don't know what you're looking for. One of the clear signs are the lines are bare rock like cliff faces. If they suddenly change angle that's the sign of a fault.

But since what we really need to know is how far away these quakes might be coming from we should be looking for recent signs of a fault moving. Like fresh cracks in rock that haven't been eroded or earth that has been displaced in a line. If these are small close quakes it might not get any worse, but if they are a large far away quakes they could trigger more and make things much worse.

I was really hoping someone had some records, it's next to imposable to predict what a fault line is going to do unless you know what it's done in the past.

That's if it's even a quake that's causing it.

[foxtamer]

Interesting.. and useful.

That's something Naruto can do. I'll pass the information along.

It's too bad that there's no records. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see what's going to happen. We may never find out what's causing it.

[wears_a_torc]

I can imagine a few times where I wished I could have been in more than one place at once.

I can live with never knowing as long as it never gets worse.
