As the sun rose the next day, Minjoo had a bit of hope that nothing could get worse, only better. One of the reasons she thought that was because there hadn't been any aftershocks yet, and she knew it was dumb to think that one wouldn't happen, but maybe by some miracle the aftershock would wait for them to finish their job. Another reason was that the South Korean military had sent reinforcements to help with the earthquakes aftermath, and it was just Minjoo's luck that both Shijin and Daeyoung were apart of that team.

Minjoo was currently standing next to the toppled over solar plant skyscraper, looking with Lim through the rubble with a line camera to find any workers who were trapped, the rest of Alpha Team standing at the base of the rubble, looking over the buildings blueprints.

"Lifting up the concrete that fell and blocked the entrance is critical." Daeyoung said as Shijin looked over the plans of the building, trying to find where a weak spot would of been in the building and trying to determine where it would be now.

"A pulley won't handle the weight. We have no other option but to drill a hole." Choi pointed out to the Alpha Team, and the chief manager, Mr Jin.

"Suggest something that actually makes sense!" Mr Jin said, waving his hand at Choi. "This is reinforced concrete made for a special type of building."

"Drilling through the thickness would take over three days. We need an alternative plan." Daeyoung said, his hands on his hips.

"I told you there's an easy way. I said we should use machinery!" Mr Jin said, pointing over to the heavy yellow machinery that laid dormant around the construction site.

"I told you already, heavy equipment is dangerous because of the weak structure." Daeyoung said yo the older man, trying to get his point across for the third time.

Mr Jin waved his hand, before pointing down to the blueprints. "Then, here." He said, pointing towards where the offices used to be. "Isn't the entrance through the office okay? You said there weren't any signals from the survivors. Let's use the possible methods first, please! There are important documents there." He said, pointing over to the debris covered offices.

"Are you saying we should disregard people lives for some documents?" Shijin asked, his voice raising slightly as he continued speaking.

"I think you've misunderstood." Mr Jin said, his voice even. "The person in charge of the site is me, the Uruk Power Plant Chief Manager! So you do what ever I tell you to do!" He said, pointing over at Shijin.

"At a disaster site, the Commander of the rescue team has final authority. And that's me." Shijin said, making Mr Jin's face fall slightly as it dawned on him that Shijin was right. "What bastard let civilians enter the rescue site?" Shijin questioned as he kept looking at Mr Jin.

"Hey, you." Mr Jin said pointing at Shijin, realising what he meant as he tried to walk around the table to get to him, only to be stopped by Gong.

"Please leave the site." He said as he starting to lead Mr Jin away with the help of Choi since Mr Jin wasn't making it easy, yelling profanities at Shijin.

Once the plan to get the trapped workers out was set, the soldier got to work. They took the air bags they had and made it so they could carry water and set them around they entry way they wanted to make, the bags lifting up some of the rubble and making a tunnel big enough for people to get through. But since what they were using bags that were meant for air and not water, the bags wouldn't last long, so they had to move quick.
