Down in the Mines 2/4

<<< >>>
Down in the Mines 2/4 is the second part of the Down in the Mines series by Dr Saturn. It was uploaded on February 2, 2021. In the video, Alice, Dr Saturn and Charles, while carefully following Sir Murray, end up in his mining facility.
== Plot ==
Alice, Saturn and Charles soon arrive at Griselda's excavation place, which appears to be a gorge with primitive mineshafts and old tools scattered around. There, they encounter one of the two miners, who work there. He explains he's the only one here besides a friend named Dwight, who's currently at home. The three soon finds out, that Sir Murray defrauded Griselda's money to fund his own goals.
When the scientists arrive to a nearby town, they hide behind some barrels and notice Sir Murray hiring new workers for a secret mining job. To find out more about that job, they encounter Sir Murray late in the evening inside a pub. Alice, disguised as a man with a fake mustache, convinces Murray to hire them immediately.
The next morning, Murray takes the three to a private bus and orders to wear blindfolds; he claims he doesn't want them to know where the workplace is. During the ride, Saturn, Alice and Charles take off the blindfolds without Murray noticing after they deduce they're inside a long underground tunnel, judging by the lack of the sound of wind. Upon exiting the tunnel, they spot a giant mining facility complex inside a gorge by the ocean. Alice also notices, that the Polyhare Knights guard the entire facility.
Immediately upon their arrival, Murray takes Alice, Saturn and Charles on a tour around Shaft number 15. He introduces them to the rules of the facility and presents types of drillers used in the complex - the Mole Crickets, the Groundhogs and most notably, the Desman. Before leaving the mineshaft, he orders the three, that they should stay away from everything besides their job, or else they'd face cruel consequences.
The episode ends with Alice noticing a stone slab sticking out of the mineshaft's wall.

* There was a cut scene from the video, which would appear in the end. It was in fact moved to the begining of Down in the Mines 3/4, to make the video slightly longer.
* Desman's real name is V-1T 7620C, which contains various references to OkiWan's Core Inbound. "V-1T" is a reference to Vitreous, as both drillers are purple. "7620" refers to the release date of Core Inbound 1/5 (June 7 - 7th day of the 6th month, 2020), and "C" stands for Core.
*The names of the driller vehicles come from animals, that are known for burrowing.
