I'm sorry I can't bring better news , sir . The site is a disaster .

That's what I was afraid of .

It is not only the earthquake , sir . But the mudslides.Much of the north half of the site has been covered over by mud .

Mud ? But Ivan told me there were no mudslides in that district . I thought all the mudslides were down in Chichitango .

That's what we thought , sir . That's what the news reported.But there was one little mudslide in our district too . Right above our site .

It's not your fault , Yuri.But tell me . When will Ivan be able to get out there ?
neutral
user
Well , it took me about nine hours to get back here by car.If Ivan leaves tonight , I think he should be there by tomorrow lunch .

Good . I want an estimate of damages as soon as possible .

But sir ...
neutral
assistant
Yes , Yuri ?
neutral
user
I wouldn't recommend sending Ivan now.Especially not at night . The roads aren't safe .
neutral
assistant
Has the earthquake damaged the bridges too ?
neutral
user
No , sir . The bridges are fine.But I've heard rumors that the revolutionaries are coming down from the mountains.There has been fighting , sir .
neutral
assistant
Are you serious ? Fighting ? But I didn't hear anything on the news .
neutral
user
You know the government controls the press here , sir . They don't want it reported .
neutral
assistant
Oh , this is terrible , Yuri . Terrible ! So we can't even assess the damages . How can we do business in this country ? Either we're buried under mud , or we're in danger of getting kidnapped.No , I can't believe this mess !
