At around age 22, when he was still a new guildsman, Aitrus joined a surveying expedition whose assignment was to excavate a tunnel to Earth's surface, under the leadership of Guild Master [[Telanis]]. He had been working as a member of the expedition team for almost two and a half years when the Guild Council sent a group of observers to monitor the expedition and determine if it was still worth completing. Aitrus was assigned to escort and educate them about their day-to-day operations for a period of ten days. When the Council decided to accelerate the expedition's completion date by constructing a [[Great Shaft|vertical shaft]] to cover the remaining distance, Aitrus and his team were largely sidelined as their small expedition became a major infrastructure project. It was around this time that he drew the attention of Veovis once again, when one of his reports crossed the young Lord's desk. Aitrus was wary of Veovis's desire to make amends for his behavior in school, but ultimately decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. | At around age 22, when he was still a new guildsman, Aitrus joined a surveying expedition whose assignment was to excavate a tunnel to Earth's surface, under the leadership of Guild Master [[Telanis]].

Shortly after the Great Shaft was completed, the Guild Council reversed their decision to make contact with the surface, much to Aitrus's great disappointment. On the eve of the capping ceremony, a great earthquake struck the Shaft, killing several guild members and damaging the walls of the structure. While trying to reach the floor to report on the condition of the [[excavator]] at the top of the Shaft, he rescued Veovis, who had been present for the completion of the project and become trapped in a service elevator.
