Braden watched Jack get in a frenzy towards Aria, then again, few people couldn't hear the yelling. Jack quickly cooled off though, and Braden let out a sigh. [i]Don't lose your cool just yet, friend. Something tells me life's gonna get worse.[/i] Braden returned his attention to his own group and gave them orders to grab tools, lights, and rubber gloves from the shop. Braden wasn't the smartest guy when it came to wires and building electrics, so he gauged his groups knowledge. A few had previous experience helping fathers or contractors do a bit of wiring. and such, but no one was an expert. Those that knew more than others were put in charge of the task and were told to report to Braden of any updates. Braden would of course go down there, but he didn't want to mess with things if he didn't full understand them. 

By the time he was finished issuing order, Jack was by his side. [i]Bring Aria,[/i] Braden wondered, [i]not sure what good she'll do. As long as she doesn't get in the way, I guess. He must wan't to look out for her. [/i] Jack then told him about his idea for transportation. "An armored bus?" Braden pondered aloud. He thought about all the work that would have to go into it. Braden finally settled on an answer, "Jack, we're definitely up for the challenge. However, I wouldn't be your friend or a leader if I didn't point out the problems. We don't know what those monsters are, how powerful they are, or how many of them are out there. We also don't know if that fog has any ill side-effects. Having said that, I believe my monkeys and I are up for it, but on one condition; I"m apart of the group that retrieves the bus. I ain't having my folks go out there while I stay in relative safety." 

Braden wrapped his arm around Jack's shoulders and smiled, "We'll get shit done." He then pulled him in closer and whispered, " And if you need someone to chat with or vent, I got your back." Braden released him and returned to his group to make final preparations for the journey below.
