Description
Natasha Smedth had learned allot in her nine years of Engineering, among the more notable fact was that the Committee always had a project somewhere that needed her talents. She had been to coal mines, garrisons, hub towns and did a fair bit of work at The Yards on mines, mills, machine shops, power plants, sawmills and shipyards. It was not all bad, she had traveled far and got to see a fair bit of Infrastructure. She met a lot of people, among them was Danev. A short, broad shouldered technician who while a bit on the slow side, was hard working, handsome enough, had nothing even resembling a mean bone in his body and knew how to make her laugh. Even so, she did not like having to frequently pack up and move and The Yards did have a massive number of unpleasant individuals. When she was offered a chance to return to Dalatyr, she jumped on it.

The basics of it was the assembly of a new building named "Steel Ascension". When she looked at the blueprints she saw why. The project involved construction with steel. She oversaw the assembly of metal ships and that was nothing new to her. Building with steel girders had been going on for a few years, usually for bridges as well as a few factories, train shelters and warehouses. This, however, was a much more visible and momentous project. A building which had eight above ground storeys and was to stand thirty six meters tall. Work had begun in 26IA with the digging of foundations. Now she, as well as several other engineers would oversee it's rise.

The job made her a bit uncomfortable as it was very vertical, even though she was reasonably sure footed and there were safety ropes. The further up you went, the windier it got, a fact which did nothing for her fears. Things were going fairly fast, most of the frame had been taken up and now they were installing the floors, which were largely composed of concrete slabs and frames for windows. Most things were carried over on a network of ropes and pulleys up high. The men were fairly skilled, even if some of them were a bit lude.

At the end of a day, she checked off the various things on the fourth floor writing down notes on her clipboard. Things had been going very well. Soon they would begin work on installation of the walls, which existed to enclose the space within and keep things warm, dry and and comfortable, but did not support the structure. An interesting idea to be sure. There was still plenty to do, but things were finally taking shape. Her Dad knew of this beforehand and was more than happy to here about her daughter's work.
