Sensing a Vibe from Jonathan

At the construction site, Jonathan oversaw the construction of the extension of the factory. He has been keeping a watchful eye on the development as he had seen workers making erroneous decisions while working on it. As the one who designed the facilities in the company town, he knew more than anyone else how everything should be done.

And as he was watching the workers delivering concrete from one place to another, cranes lifting construction materials from the ground to the top, a man approached him from the side.

"Sir Axelsen, may I borrow some of your time?"

Jonathan recognized the voice, it was from Walter, their top engineer in the company. He glanced down at Walter, still couldn't get over his short height, and spoke.

"How can I help you?" 

"I'd like you to check my design, I believe we can offer the trains more than air brakes and draft gears."
