Pandemonium breaks out. Emergency crews are called to the scene and all work is halted. Taryn is pinned in place by the rock and is told he might lose his hand entirely. They won’t know for sure until after he has gone to the hospital. Mason accompanies Taryn in the ambulance but Logan chooses to stay behind with the ladies. They are all pretty traumatized by what has happened. A very stressful week ended with an apparent disaster.

Izi is devastated. She feels her degree has been snatched away from her as she will no longer be able to conduct her research. She keeps questioning Logan about the accident. She had seen the hole where Taryn’s accident had happened before he got hurt and she knew that the boys had already removed the rock. She doesn’t understand how a rock that has to weigh well over 400lbs could move four feet sideways all by itself. She knows something more was going on. As she was the appointed health and safety officer for the crew, she is going to be held accountable for what has happened.

Taryn arrives at A&E and while he is at Triage, Georgie sees Mason as the huge man is rather hard to miss. He heads over to find Taryn hurt yet again. This time however it looks bad. After many hours, Georgie has done all he can. Time will tell how much use of his hand Taryn will have. This could be the end of his rugby career and possibly worse. Georgie believes he has saved the hand from amputation but cannot promise anything beyond that.

The dig site becomes an accident investigation, and a ministry investigation is launched. As a few different government bodies will be involved it will take months to resolve. By the time the keystone is finally discovered, the nine realms will no longer be in resonance and there will be no risk of setting the end of the world in motion. Ragnarok will not begin. For now.
