The Scotsman had characteristically fallen into a long silence during their journey there. A silence which he'd even maintained while considering the aperture which had once been the floor of Blue 5. What he'd assumed to be such, anyway. Judging by the rooms which they'd already passed and by the fact this ought to have been the next blue marked room in the sequence there was no question in his critical mind that they had reached their destination. If there was any sort of logic to the room numbers, at least.

Though it certainly did not look like there was anything salvageable left of it.

Even all of that, imposing as the hole was, had not been enough to spur him to speech. There had been no need for obvious observations, and he didn't care enough to share his thoughts on the matter. It was only the sheer disbelief, shock, and fear in the woman's face, and the authoritarian's grim agreement with her which finally caused him to speak up. "Ye lot expected safety?" The Scotsman retorted dryly. Honestly, where had these reactions been when they'd first been dropped in? When they'd had to read their files to learn their own names. When they'd been given guns, mysterious bludgeoning weapons, and explosives? Even the medical equipment was a sign of things to expect. What exactly had they expected, he wondered.

Glancing from one to the other, he scrutinized them each with an expression which was unreadable beyond the darkness of his visor. For a moment he was quiet again before at last he turned away to crouch down beside the considerable perforation, peering in for whatever he might be able to catch a glimpse of in its dark depths. "An' who said down yon's the goal, anyhow?"

“Well, only one way to find out, though I’m not volunteering.” Cassidy then diverted her gaze to the smaller man, “I’m not saying you should go, but you should go. Not rushing you or anything, but I most certainly don’t want to be stuck down here any longer than I have to.” Cassidy felt a bit bad putting some of the pressure on him, but what else were they going to do? It’s not like they had a myriad of options to play with. She gripped her flashlight, trying to relieve some of her own tension that was lingering.

Raising his gaze from the chasm, he gave the woman another rueful look before clicking his tongue and looking away once more to scan the walls for any sign of a camera or speaker. "Listening, Warden?" The big man growled to the room, in active counter to her statement that there was 'only one way to find out'. Better to show than to tell, and better to get things done than to stand around arguing about them.

There was a good chance that there would be no answer. However, based on the fact that all they had been told to do so far as their 'first task' was to find the room. They'd not been told why they needed to find it, or what they were expected to do once they had, so his best guess was that they were supposed to receive their next instructions once they'd arrived in Blue 5.

They had indeed arrived. And he saw no reason why he should go blindly out of his way to do something if he didn't even know he had to do it at all.

There was no sound at first- just the echo of the large man's voice as it spilled down the gaping maw of blackness and away, through the facility. There was no strange mechanical voice, no synthesised garble. Just unending silence, only broken by the creak of metal and the groan of...

The groan of something distinctly alive. The echoing nature of the facility made it impossible to tell where the sound had come from- it ricoched off of walls, floors and cielings, bounced about the group, and seemed to come from every which angle at once. It was followed by a shuffling noise, distant and faint, but audible, present... And coming closer.
