after he checks the coal supply(i would still love to know where he got it) roadie attaches the drive belt between the flywheel on the engine and the pulley on the generator, seeing that the pressure is at optimum and the boiler isnt leaking he thinks to himself "its time to bring this beast to life", he grabs the valve gear lever and jams in to forward "ok baby , lets do it" he says as he opens the throttle.with a creak and a groan the ancient engine begins to move ,slowly at first but then the speed steadily builds until shes up to operating speed and shes bealching out smoke and steam like a old dragon "theres a good girl" roadie says as he checks the power meter which shows maximum output , he then throws the switch to switch the power off the mains and on to the genny, the lights inside dim for a second as the changeover is made but then are burning brighter then ever. after setting the autostoker roadie walks inside and grabs a scotch and coke to toast his efforts

*roadie sees the new guy walk in and pay 8 bucks for a drink and thinks, gets up and goes over to him and gives him his money back*

*Spacewolf is walking past behind Roadwolf and leans over his shoulder, holding his hand out to shake greavers hand*
"Hi greaver, names Spacewolf, If'n you want to do a song just speak to the band and see if they know it, they usually do."
*Turns to Whisper in Roadies ear.*
"BTW Roadie, I need to speak to you about that sensor contact I've been getting."
*nods to greaver and walks out the door.*

* Pulls out his guitar, summons three young dragons to accompany him and breaks into a song (Audrey, Start The Revolution! )
Maybe tonight we'll get back together
sound the alarms and break all the levers
These streets are ours, our anthem rings
You'd know the truth if these walls could sing
Amateur youth sling down those signs
Gather the masses, friends of mine
I've got your back if you've got my hand
This isn't over it just began
*Alexei shreds on his guitar as he sings*
[Chorus x2:]
If this isn't love (This isn't love)
this is the closest I've ever been
Do you think we have a chance tonight?
as streetlights sing on Audrey's song
*Slows his hands and grabs the mike to belt out the lines with tears glinting in his eyes*
Remind your parents we're tomorrow
Lead with morals and we'll follow
When they wake up they'll see
that youth fades and glory days deceive
What are you waiting for? let's move on this
time is of essence, like your kiss
So say you're in with cards down
and guns drawn, this is it
*Grabs his guitar again and continues to play*
[Chorus x2:]
If this isn't love (This isn't love)
this is the closest I've ever been
Do you think we have a chance tonight
as streetlights sing on Audrey's song
*After the chorus Alexei sings with his voice beginning to break as he spits out the lyrics*
But now it stops at this
We could take it all if only we would risk
You can be what you can conceive
Red letters kill your disbelief
We all make mistakes sometimes
We all fail but we stand tonight
Look past, learn, and move on
We're all here, you're not the only one
[Chorus x4:]
If this isn't love (This isn't love)
this is the closest I've ever been
Do you think we have a chance tonight?
as streetlights sing on Audrey's song
*Alexei finishes dripping with sweat from his performance and with tears running down his face. He steps off the stage and goes to the bar and sits down after pouring himself a drink*

"what sensor readings are you talking about"

*walks on stage looking nervous as hell*
*throws a mask on that covers his whole face (except his mouth)*
"All the stars in the north are dead now
All the morals of wasted human... debris
Walk with me into the night
Do not remove the cobwebs
Of war clinging to your face
They will tell of pains unknown
All the stars in the north are dead now
All the morals of wasted human debris
Torn to pieces - handcrafted delerium
One war remains - war of everything
Tanto magis infra se oecidit
Quanto magis so contra gloriam
Sui conditoris erexit"
