Following the recent earthquake in Red Mountain's lower areas, a new ravine had opened up to reveal all sorts of unseen goodies (and baddies). Trapped away within solid rock beds and scattered water pockets were gemstones and minerals galore! The possibilities of finding rare mineral veins such as diamond, ruby, emerald, sapphire were high. A quick source of money for any brave spelunker or pony interested in exploring the untouched ravine walls. The rare minerals weren't the only thing the strong quake opened up in red mountain. a Couple lava tubes were also breached, but that did not pose a threat for Sid Burn!
Any new opportunity for Sid Burn to find elusive minerals was one he would not let pass, especially if there was Spectrum to be found. after hearing about it he promptly used his knowledge of the caves and lack of sleep to get to the location earlier than anypony else.
"Hehe! Good thing I stood up, now I get first go at the new ravine!"
looking around the local walls, he made sure the stability of the rocks above was good enough before proceeding...
of course when Sid was tired he payed less attention to the risks. He thought the ceiling was stable enough if he went slowly through the ravine.
"Looks fair enough up there, maybe I should take it slow!"
Peering down the lava-lit ravine, he spotted many gemstones and grabbed as many as he could in his saddlebags. Sid Burn even got a couple of diamonds, but the real surprise came when he caught a glimmer of a rainbow in his goggle. SPECTRUM! The delicacy of a rare geological process!
"This is gonna be a real pupu platter when I get back!.... !"
Suddenly, an aftershock hit the same area as before! How could Sid burn forget about aftershocks following earthquakes? No wonder nopony was in the ravine yet. Looking around briefly at the once stably walls and roof, he knew he had to get out of there! However before Sid burn was able to take off at lightning speed a few slabs of solid granite and bedrock created a hut around him...
he was trapped with only a little skylight to send out any signals of help...
"Well, isn't this a knot I've gotten myself tied into, how am I supposed to get out now? I ain't got a pick on me, and even if I did, this is solid bedrock and granite... It would take forever to break!"
Sid had to resort to shouting, hopefully somepony would hear him
"Oi! Mates! Need Some Help Here! Anypony out there? Help!
Sid could only wait before trying any more plans
