All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this specter; Pope and Czar, Metternich and Guizot, French radicals and German police spies." - Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto (1848)Bernard Bradshaw along with his crew are caught in a sudden cave in. Within the dark confines of the unstable mine continuing to crumble Bernard finds Malcolm Armstrong helping disabled miner Oliver Spinks through the dirt and mortar. The crew are about to leave when they hear the faint cry of Nikolai Patrenko in the dark. Bernard orders Malcolm and Oliver to go up top and send for help while he journeys back into the mine to rescue Nikolai.
Bernard finds Nikolai trying to dig out his workmate Horace Sampson crushed under rubble. Nikolai is hysterical. Bernard calms Nikolai down and the two leave Horace's body and escape before the mine collapses.
