Liam always took his brothers word with utmost seriousness. If there was anyone who wouldn't mince words, it was Toma. He listened and nodded his agreement to everything that Toma said. "More security is a definite necessity, now." The tower as the people of Beacon knew it was gone, and both brothers knew it. With access to the deep tunnels in the middle of the city, there was serious danger of sentinels finding their way to populated areas of the tower and wreaking havoc. The consequences of taking the current situation lightly would be very dire. Hopefully the research division would see it that way, and not as an excuse to send a host of scientists to die at the hands of the technology that was sleeping beneath them. "And my findings aren't really all that impressive. I was just wandering the lowest level–what was the lowest level, anyway–and I saw a small socket that looked like it was on. I tried using the Tizona with it, and the whole wall receded into the floor. That's when I came running and found you here."
In consideration of his brother, Liam tried not to frown to much as he continued. "As for your the riot this is going to cause between the Explorer's Union and the Beacon Research Society, I'll let you handle the politics." He sighed, slumped over and crossed his arms. More than anything, Liam wanted to go explore the newly opened area before anyone else could. Being first was always the best, or so he thought. His brow furrowed, then, with another sigh of resignation, stood back up, gave a hearty salute and a chipper smile, looked at his older brother and declared, "but I'll do my what I can to stay abreast of the situation."
With arms back at his side, Liam began walking towards the crowd that was headed up to the surface. As he passed by where the tour had been standing, his head reverberated with words that weren't his own. "The surface... back of the Pillar... please, hurry..." The noise was almost deafening, and the shock of it caused him to reel. Liam looked to his brother, who was directing the crowd back in the direction they had come. "Toma, did you–" No, he thought, I shouldn't bother him with this. He looked around to see if anyone else was reacting to the voice, and spotted two people, a boy and a girl, who had looked as if they might have heard it as well. He decided to get closer to find out, and managed to catch a bit of their conversation.
"Did you hear it too? Someone... whispering to you?" A whisper? The idea seemed incredulous to Liam. That was most certainly a shout! He pushed his was past the tourists separating him from the two young-looking individuals, mumbling to each of them as he passed, "Excuse me, pardon me, sorry." He smiled, hoping it would placate them, and allow him to get through. I wonder if I heard it louder because I've been down here for so long... A look of concern spread across his face, and he lifted his shirt to smell himself.
That's *cough* not as bad as it could be.
Once within arms reach of the couple, he spoke up. "Excuse me," Liam said, reaching for the boy's shoulder, "but you didn't happen to hear a voice call out, did you?" He sincerely hoped he wasn't just going loopy from all the time he spent underground.
