They had erred on the side of the entrepreneur and now more were dead than had been necessary.No one could have envisaged when they were building the cities, however, the epic scope of the devastation that could be caused by the erupting volcano nearby.Three cities along the equator were destroyed,many esteemed officials were missing,and the essence of the country had been erased.The memory of this epoch period would be remembered for time eternal.

What made the disaster worse was the erroneous planning of the city locations to make a profit.Whatever esthetic might have been used to attract tourists was gone in essence.The rains that would follow and the heightened erosion would wash the rest away.Survivors were also hoping that there would not be an epidemic because of the contaminated water supply.So much beauty and  life lost.

If the towns had been located a short distance to the north damage would not have been so great.Now the equity of the nation was lost.The only good side was that the escalating growth in espionage would slow because there would be no more money or secrets to steal.

Time was now of the essence to escort the injured to hospitals,repair destroyed business entities,and complete the many errands that would be needed to help rebuild the small nation.This time they would not err and they would build the essence of the towns in a safer location.And the entrepreneurs would not influence the direction of rebuilding.

他们错误地站在了企业家一边，所以造成了更多的不必要的死亡。然而，在修建城市的时候，谁也不可能想像附近火山的爆发造成的破坏会达到那么大的范围。赤道沿线的三座城市全部被毁，许多受人尊重的官员失踪，国家的精华被抹掉了。这个时代的记忆将永远留在我们心中。使这次灾难更加严重的原因是他们只考虑赚钱而做出的错误的城市规划。所有可能被用来吸引游客的美景基本上已经荡然无存。接下来的雨和更为严重的腐蚀将把剩下的美景冲走。幸存者们还希望不要因为供水受到污染而爆发流行病。那么多的美景和生命都被毁灭了。这些城镇的位置如果再靠北一点，破坏就不至于如此严重。现在国家的权益已经丧失，的好处是逐步发展的谍报活动将放慢速度，因为不再有钱和秘密可供窃取。现在极其重要的是护送伤者去医院、修复被毁的商业实体、完成许多必要的差事帮助重建家园。这次他们不会再犯错误，他们将把城市的精华部分建在更为安全的地方。企业家将不再对重建计划施加影响。
