Most people aren't on a magical Barge that refuses to let the dead stay dead. Things are different now.

[cactusy]

Wasn't an insult. I'm not normal, either. Just saying that if you were it wouldn't be a big deal.

[There's a pause - and in the background, water rumbling.]

Okay, I'm in the waterfall chamber. Which tunnel branch did you take from here?

[weedeating]

The left, [ Dimitri says. ] It looked wider. I wonder if it was because something excavated the tunnel instead of it happening naturally.

[cactusy]

Any branches after that, or do I just keep going straight to find you?

[weedeating]

Keep going straight. There should be a large pile of rubble on the right. That's me.

[cactusy]

You wanna give a shout when you hear footsteps, just in case?

[weedeating]

Of course. How far away do you think you are anyway?

[cactusy]

Depends. How narrow does the tunnel get? Any pitfalls I need to look out for on the way?

[weedeating]

Not narrow, but I'd still be careful of rocks and loose terrain.

[cactusy]

[In the most deadpan voice:]

Caves, am I right?

[weedeating]

Most caves you don't have to worry about cave-ins caused by giant worms.

[ he is already Done with this. ]

[cactusy]

Is that what did it? Some kinda creature got Sheehan, too.

[weedeating]

I can only assume it was a giant worm. I only got a glimpse of the beast and it looked suspiciously worm-like.

[cactusy]

Could be more than one type of dangerous creature down here, but I'll listen for the rumbling. I--

[She pauses, and then:]

I think I see your rubble pile.

[weedeating]

Should I try to dislodge some of the rubble? So you can be certain it's me, of course.

[cactusy]

No, no way; better not risk it. It looks pretty precarious from out here.

[She cautiously approaches what she thinks is the right spot, scanning her flashlight over it - and then switching off her communicator.]

Hey! You in there? Can you hear me?

[weedeating]

[ It's muffled by the rock, but Shaw can hear Dimitri yell back, ]

I'm here! I'm behind these damned rocks!

[cactusy]

Okay, here's what I'm thinking - we start pulling them out one at a time, not doing anything on either side without telling the other about it first. Starting from the top, working our way down. Waiting after each removal to check for instability.

Your warden should be here soon, by the way; I called him.
