Something has bored a lot of destabilising tunnels through the bedrock of [City Name]. Entirely coincidentally, one Hellworm did escape its GHR handler.

Description summary:
The last paragraph varies on who the current is.

Leader	Description
Furnace	Furnace recommends leaving a few, and stockpiling supplies inside. There's no telling what the city might need in the future. If it's ever attacked, or suffering a famine... well, you see her point.
Cornelius	You and Cornelius do discuss their possible other uses […] But in the end, you are forced to agree that they were not very well designed for any of those purposes. The Hellworm should have been given a blueprint in advance.
Fires' Lackey, Your Lackey	You do check whether the Lackey wants to leave any of them open for any purpose, but he's unable to think of a good application. And in truth they weren't laid out with the intention you'd want from, for instance, a sewer system. [...]
January	January encourages leaving a few tunnels in place, with secret entrances, unmarked on any map. As long as there's light in the world, there's a use for dark places.
