Kurin stumbled forward, caught off guard by the burst of wind. But, this was honestly good as it managed to spread his spores down the tunnel, drifting ahead of them as the team began the second part of their mission. The whole place felt... Oddly enough... Alive. To Kurin anyway. The cracks that funneled air into the tunnel was like a breath, sharp and shallow. The winding tunnels felt like blood veins. Though maybe he was projecting. Him and nature got along well. Thankfully, his radios still worked. Tossing the short range transceiver's between each of the group. [color=39b54a]"If we manage to get split up, these will help."[/color] Kurin said, wanting to keep an eye on everything. 

Always the academy boy. He couldn't help it. Neat and tidy, keeping his attention on everybody. Those in need always knew that no matter how hard it got, Kurin would step in to take the burden off their backs. Right now though, they where all neck deep underground, with the possibility that half the team just wasn't set up to fight in such tight areas. Kurin it seemed was pushing double duty now. 

Yet, he couldn't help but feel an ominous edge as his eyes drifted to the sign. Fear the Worm. Well, that was either very direct, or a complete red herring. Until further notice, the team would be working under the assumption that a giant worm could very well collapse the area around them in a moment. The tunnels themselves seemed rather weak, so simply because a cave in would be the worst he began to forge handseals. Wooden posts began to sprout along the sealing and walls, holding the ceiling up and restoring some of the aged supports. Each time he made sure to give a wide birth to the precious metal. Even the cheap stuff that would otherwise be useless. If there was a danger tied to mining it, he'd hate to set it off. 

Now, for the challenge. Or at least the first major obstacle. He continued to fortify the area, using his wood jutsu to form a layering over the roof. If they had to start blasting the door, he wanted to make sure the team wouldn't be caved in. At least he had one major advantage in this challenge. Even if figuring it out would take a while. Brainteasers, of course. 

[color=39b54a]"To review..."[/color] Kurin began, already investigating. [color=39b54a]"We have a ticking timer, the possibility of a worm, and a door. Which may or may not be opened by this button talking about distress."[/color] Pretty simple lay-man's terms. The cryptic nature of the whole challenge seemed rather blunt. Mostly following a set path and doing the thing that was expected. Well, if that was the case, he might as well keep his eyes open. 
[color=39b54a]"Either this switch is a certain fail state, or it'll help us continue further down the road. Shizuka, would you like the honors?"[/color] Kurin said, turning his attention to rest of the environment. If anything changed when the switch was flipped, he wanted to be the first to see it.
