"We are going to clear this place."
The others could do nothing but nod. Whatever was in that room needed to be studied.
"There is a lot to do, though."
"I know." Erik examined some of the debris. "We need to drain this place first, then seal the breaches."
Erik raised his hands and channeled mana into telekinesis's neural links. The surrounding water shuddered, then moved. He directed the flow toward the entrance they came from.
Water rushed out of the laboratory in a torrent, revealing ruined equipment, collapsed sections, and layers of silt, most of which got carried with the water.
The water level dropped. "How are you not exhausted doing this?" Martha asked.
There was tons and tons of water in that structure, after all, and anyone would be tired even moving an inch of all that filth. Yet Erik just cleared a whole building.
"I have a lot of mana," Erik said.
