<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Lifts my arms up to my shoulders, palms up*
I'm just trying to make sense of it all, okay?
*With a great rumble, dust and debris fills the cavern, and once the visibility returns, a clean slice of the ceiling obstructs the path in front of you, itself pristine as if cut*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Looks up through narrowed eyes*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Waves away the dust with a cough*
I think this will be my last visit to this part of the lab.

<Snipped quote by Host>

I think we should be extra careful.
*Flicks my wrist and evaporates the rock away from in front of me*
That's... Not natural.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Grimaces*
I don't know if I trust the structural integrity of this place. The whole thing might come down.

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Slowly starts to walk forward again*
I mean, as in I think that might have been intentionally displaced from the trench walls or something.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I don't like the implications of that.
*Almost impossible to see footprints leading from the collapse line the trail ahead of us*

<Snipped quote by Host>

Just be careful. Someone doesn't want us moving on, I think...

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I'll scout ahead. If I run into any danger, I'll alert you.

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Hits the ground, bouncing several times, and then scraping against the stand, pulling myself into a standing position*
You're a pest, you know that!?
*Clasps my hands together, and sand peppers against your skin like tiny meteorites*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*each one clinks off my armor like shards for shrapnel against a wall of titanium, as I summon a gun to fire a blast of concentrated energy directly at your skull*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

But if either of us would be able to get away, it would be me. We shouldn't risk both of us if we can help it.

<Snipped quote by Host>

We already are. I can't help you on your own.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Frowns*
If you say so. But if you end up hurt, I won't ever forgive myself.

<Snipped quote by Host>

*My eyes shoots down to your hand for a brief second before I turn my head back face-forward*
I feel the same. Which is why I really couldn't bear if you got hurt all alone somewhere and I don't even know it happens.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*The flesh looks very burnt*
Lose-lose situation, then.
*Another voice echoes, but the echo itself sounds suppressed*
