Knocking down the balcony dishonored 2 chapter 7

He sat on a folding chair and was slumped over a rather small work desk. Inside the long, narrow cabin was a forty-something man in light green work wear-the cabin crew. The lock next to the handle, which was parallel to the floor, indicated that it was still locked. From the perspective of the cabin, their fuzzy figures in the glass disappeared from view. Allison wrote, вЂCabin 1 passengers both in observation carвЂ™.ДЄllison and Wil left the door. There was a small blackboard beside the door, used to communicate when the crew was absent. Maybe heвЂ™s getting breakfast ready at the galley, or maybe heвЂ™s at a crew meeting?вЂќ Wil suggested. вЂњAfter all this knocking, IвЂ™d be surprised if he was inside. She knocked again, but there was no sign of a reply. Allison pointed at the door with the glazed window and turned to Wil. Allison waited for a moment, then knocked again. вЂњMaybe heвЂ™s still asleepвЂ¦ maybe we shouldnвЂ™t wake him?вЂќДЄllison knocked on the cabin door without a second thought. When they arrived at the door to the cabin crewвЂ™s lounge, in front of the bathroom and the doors into the car, Wil stopped. So he doesnвЂ™t end up thinking weвЂ™re sleeping in.вЂќДЇirst, they walked in the opposite direction from the observation car and opened the door in the hallway. вЂњLetвЂ™s go to the cabin crew and ask him to call us in time for breakfast. Wil came out to the deserted hallway as well, and whispered so he wouldnвЂ™t bother the other passengers. They were both carrying their coats because it was still cold. Then IвЂ™ll stick with you all day long.вЂќ Allison replied, opening the door to their cabin and stepping outside. And when we cross the mountain range in the evening, weвЂ™ll be able to see the sun set on the plains, too.вЂќ Wil said, excited. And IвЂ™ve never gone through tunnels while I was riding on a train. IвЂ™ve never seen mountains during the spring before. вЂњThe viewвЂ™s going to be great all day today. The tracks continued down the river, before passing through several tunnels and stretching past a mountain pass. The passage had been completed forty years ago-it was painstaking work that, in the end, allowed people to cross straight through the mountains instead of going around them. The train was running down the tracks passing through the mountain range. Unlike Roxche, which was mostly flat, there were several such mountain ranges in the West. Although it did not compare to the massive Central Mountain Range, which bisected the southern half of the continent, mountains as high as 2000 meters extended from north to south for about 700 kilometers. The train was about three hundred kilometers from the Lutoni River, in the area known as the Iltoa Mountain Range. The white half-moon was still visible in the western sky. It was clear save for a thin layer of cirrus clouds. The sky was violet, only just greeting the sun. The train squirmed uphill at half its speed from the plains. The tracks twisted and bent along the winding valley, climbing a gentle slope. Along the southern shore of the river was a single set of rails that followed the riverвЂ™s edge. Unlike the Lutoni, the river was so clear that the rocks inside were visible. There was a valley about 50 meters wide, with a shallow, 30-meter-wide river running underneath. Trees just beginning to bud with leaves covered the mountains, and patches of rocky surface were visible around the peaks. They had left the plains, and were surrounded by slopes. The train was racing through the mountains. вЂњGoing to the observation car? IвЂ™ll go with you.вЂќ And there was even more time before the breakfast they ordered would arrive. There was still some time before the sun rose over the mountains. вЂњAnyway, what should we do, Wil? ItвЂ™s not even dawn yet.вЂќ Her pants were the same ones she wore to sleep, and her top was an Air Force-issue dark red turtleneck over a T-shirt. Allison was wearing, not a dress, but pants. Over that he wore a light cotton jacket he usually wore outside.

Wil was wearing his uniform pants and a white shirt that was not part of his uniform. Wil apologized to Allison again after she changed and stepped out from behind the curtains. When Wil glanced at the bathroom door, he saw that the door was in unlocked position.Д¬onfused, Wil put his feet down over the left side of the bed.ДЄnd he stepped on Allison, who was rolled up in her blanket on the floor. The bed was messy, and the blanket was missing. Opening his eyes, as well-rested as any other morning, Wil mumbled to himself and turned to the bed next to his. The dim light hit the sofa through the foggy glass.

The curtain dividing the room was pulled open.

Soon, he saw the white ceiling tinted blue by the faint light seeping from the window. The first thing Wil heard as he awoke was the sound of the wheels passing over the grooves of the rails.
