Connor's resistance to the cold was slowly beginning to wear thin. Hopefully they were nearing their destination, because even he was feeling his legs begin to protest their movement. He kept his eyes stuck on the pale white abyss in front of them, knowing that it would eventually give way to their camp. He glanced over, quickly checking to see if Gabriel was alright. If the young man was having problems, he showed absolutely nothing of them. Connor might have been athletic and quick, but Gabriel was a pure machine of strength. Connor kept on going so that Gabriel wouldn't simply leave him behind.

He was very confident that the group was at a good pace, and they were all doing very well. As far as he could tell, despite the blizzard, they were all accounted for. He briefly wondered if any of the other teams had lost cadets on the way, or if all of them would make it to the rendezvous. That would be a feat for the coming generations of cadets to talk of for years. From what Connor had seen, he thought they could definitely do it.

His confident was only shaken when he heard Emil call out, declaring that one of them had gone missing. He knew that they'd all done frequent checks, so the missing Cadet couldn't be too far behind. [color=chocolate]"I'll backtrack, you keep everyone going!"[/color] Connor said to Gabriel and turned back. He accounted for all of the faces, then saw that Olivia was the missing Cadet. He ran past Emil, hoping to move fast enough to find Olivia before the snow covered their tracks. 

Thankfully, he spotted the girl as he neared what he guessed was about 30 meters from the group. He trampled through the snow with increasing effort to reach her. As he came to her, he grabbed her supply pack and lifted it off of her to help her stand. [color=chocolate]"You okay?"[/color] He had to shout over the powerful winds of the blizzard. He pointed up the bleach white slope and said, [color=chocolate]"C'mon, we can catch up with the others!"[/color] He went behind her just for the sake of safety.
