Summary
The under-city was a place constantly growing, trapped within stone...they needed to expand, yet where was there to expand to?
It was difficult to open up new passageways; the folks working within the mining sector needed knowledge of the under-city, of its many winding tunnels, where it was strong, where the walls weakened, where the force of bedrock held, where the stone might crumble away.
It wasn't as though TFC thought he was anything particularly special, even if the labs had insisted to the contrary when they'd approached him a few years ago. Those bright young faces trying to rebuild their world after Anarchy...and well, if a few more swings of a pickaxe from an old man like him would help the city he'd watched collapse put itself together again, then he could put off retirement for a couple years more.{In which TFC knows the tunnels, the labs need his help, and a redstone pallet and a steady salary certainly help, but he was convinced from the moment they said he was the only person who could do the job.}
