After many years in the Roughs, an enduring hatred for the city of Elendel and its leaders grew within Miles.{{book ref|mb4|15}} Early in life, this did not bother him as much.

Miles brought the train car to the subterranean foundry, where he used the electric lift's engines and winch to pull off the door of the Breaknaught. When the door was ripped off, Miles found that Wax had attached dynamite to the inside of the door, which he detonated in an attempt to slow Miles and kill his men.
