Everest
Dissent in the ranks? Complaints? Whining?
Ever's eyes widen, and though he was passive to a fault and would fold faster than a tower of cards in a hurricane, but when it came to showing his work and explaining his reasoning, Ever was an expert.
"Well, if you see here..." Carefully, and with his eyes always turned down and his voice somewhat unsteady, the boy showed the workers just where the faults were and why he thought they needed addressing. Did his explanations come with incredibly lengthy reasoning? Yes. Was Everest able to answer all of their questions about tensile strength, relative weight capacities, and complex structures? Well, actually, yes. Being a bookworm rarely proved useful in Ever's short life, but if he hadn't convinced the crew by the merits of his arguments, perhaps they'd comply if only to get him to shut up.

But if the song never stopped, it wouldn't have any magic
So even though it's gotta end, I'll keep singing along
So even though it's gotta end, I'll keep singing along
