We are already down to under 10 million... the entrances to the second level will populate in approximately 30 of your hours. On behalf of the Borant Corporation I wanted to thank you for volunteering, and I wish you all good luck and a happy crawl.”
— Borant announcer (unnamed in Book 1) [Book 1, Ch. 4]
