     I just got information, from Nate, about our drill! Apparently, we don't have a drill, but instead a large molten blade of "Artificial Mithril." It's going to have an average temperature of 10,000°F (about 5538°C). However, it can reach 25,000°F (about 13,871°C), which is enough to melt through anything. We'll most likely stay on 5538°C, since it's hot enough to melt through 2 meters of rock in about half a second.

     According to my calculations, we should be able to burn through 14.4 km. of rock each hour, which would also mean that we could burn through 345.6 km each day! Hopefully, we won't get motion sickness from going down that fast. I wonder how we can produce that much heat. Well, probably from the way we can circulate a lot of power in the blade, kind of like a reactor, I guess. I don't know much about that stuff, that's why we leave it to Carter and his team of engineers to work it out.

     2 more days until launch, hopefully we can get all the supplies for the ceremony and the ship.
