Ning looked at the woman, holding onto the magnet, with great fear and hope in her eyes. He looked at the man behind him, greatly worried about everything, not wanting to go to prison for what he did.
Ning looked at the magnet the woman was holding and asked, "What exactly are you people using the Spark on in this place? Where is it all being spent?"
"In making stuff," the woman said. "Whatever stuff we can make. There are a lot of things required for various experiments that we need to do, so we make what we need."
Ning cocked his head a little in thought. "You used the Spark meant for the city by just making stuff?" he asked.
"Not just making stuff, no," the woman said. "We needed it for our own safety as well. We need Cultivators on hand to either grow food for us or help us heal from any injuries we come upon. I myself hurt my finger badly recently by letting two magnets get too close to each other while my thumb was still holding onto one."
