They built this thing ages ago. I'm gonna guess they had more shit going for 'em back then, but it's been so long... [He rubs the back of his neck, a slight frown curling his lips.] Shit breaks down, and seeing as we're stuck living on a goddamn tower now, we don't have what we need to keep the tech up and running or somethin'.

[The hand on his neck then moves to make a vague gesture in the air.]

So when Basel starts wearing down, people start lookin' for other ways of stayin' alive. On a more... personal level, kinda.

[And with that, he falls silent rather abruptly and continues to walk in silence, arms swinging loosely by his sides.]
