“I thought about what you two were saying yesterday.
Can I suggest a plan?”

“Sure,” Alesha replied.
I snatched the topographic map from the table and handed
it to Alesha. She briefly looked at it and then gave it to Joshua.

“I scrutinized this map last night. The incinerator is
situated in this lowland, right? If that’s the case, we can try to
release water from the dam atop this hill. It’ll run down the gentle
slope and head straight for the incinerator at the bottom,”
I explained, pointing at the map in Joshua’s hands.

Alesha stared in amazement, while Joshua seemed
skeptical.
“Would that really work?” Joshua doubted.

“I’ve never been into physics, but the water should attain
a lot of energy by the time it passes the bottom of the hill.”
“Have you considered everything carefully?”

“Yes, the plan will definitely work,” I responded, “as long as
we have enough people to support us.”
“There may also be innocent locals caught up in this mess.

Is it safe? Would it damage other people or their property?”
“Make sure no one’s standing on the incline, and it’s certainly
safe. Their property will be untouched.”
“How about the guards?”

“We’ll outnumber them. They’ll be no match for us.”
