Survivalist School

Shein shrugs. "Okay then. You do what you think is necessary. I'll do the same." He doesn't seem bothered at all. He leans up against the wall, sitting next to Arren.

There is a rather loud explosion from deeper into the cavern. One that actually causes rock dust to drift down from the ceiling.

Glock raises his eyebrows. "Would they collapse this place?"

"I hope not. This is a nice cave."

Shein shrugs to Glock. "I don't know. I really don't know." He looks down the path deeper into the cave. "They might try to block off access to the water though."

"Well, I'm going to go back and stop them, then." He heads back there, glowing the whole way.

Shein nods. He's set up a base already. "I can't tell if there's any danger." He shifts position slightly so that he's able to see both the way out and the path further into the cavern.

At the water supply, the water is still trickling in, but there does appear to be a cave in, but it's on the wrong side. The water is now blocked.

He tries to break it down with repeated bone spears.

It's packed pretty tightly, so breaking it down that way is going to take a long time. The water doesn't look like it's going to fill up quickly though.

"Damn." He chugs a canteen and sees how long it takes to fill it up before heading back to tell them the water supply is blocked off.

"Shein," Glock asks pensively, "how do your guys get on and off your ships? Do you beam up and down like us or do you have transport vessels?"

Now if the Rutians use transport vessels, you can see where this is going. Or, hopefully you can see where this is going. If you can't, I'd be happy to provide for you some glasses.

"Let me guess. You want me to hijack one or something?"

Shein looks over at Glock. "Transports." He looks confused, but then it dawns on him. He just smirks.

It's the water outlet that's blocked. Not the inflow. They'll have water still.

When Dmitri comes back, Shein nods slightly. "Don't know why they didn't just block the water from getting in here. That'd have been a bit more effective at chasing us out."

"Well my vote is that we sneak onto a transport and commandeer it. That has a good risk/reward set there I think," Glock says.

"I knew it!"

Shein nods to Glock. "Might work, but getting Arren on would be a trick." He looks to Arren questioningly.

Arren is just grinning. "Let's go for it."

Shein nods again. "Okay. They're likely going to leave it guarded. We'll have to locate it and take over quickly. Once we've got it secured, we can bring it here and get Arren on board. Now we just have to decide who's going and who's staying with Arren. If you two can fly it, you go and I'll stay with Arren."

"I'll let Glock fly it. I'll come along since I'm not going to run out of ammo."

"Actually, Dmitri is probably best for location of the ship. Especially if he can control that ability of his. Shein, I may be able to beat you up, but you're probably better with a sidearm than I am. You two go, I'll stick with Arren. But if you insist, I can fly anything."

Arren looks at Shein. "You should probably go. You've got built-in radar, remember?" He reaches over and takes Shein's hand. "And be careful."

Shein squeezes Arren's hand lightly. "Okay. I will." He stands up and looks at Dmitri. "Arren's right. Not just because of the radar thing either. I can fly the transport with my eyes closed." He checks the sidearm out of habit. "Now we just have to find the thing."

He nods and prepares to move out, kukri and spear and the ready.

"Good luck"

"My father's an evil emperor. What makes you think I'll have good luck?"

Shein smirks and nods to Glock. "You too. Take care of him." He looks toward Dmitri. "Come on, evil emperor's kid. Let's go." He heads outside. The ash isn't too bad now. Seems to have settled into ash sludge on the ground from the rain. It's not dry, but it's not raining anymore and the ash isn't falling either. He looks around, then starts to head up the rock on a sloping ledge. Obviously doing this so he can see better.

He trods along, mumbling the whole way about dust and climbing up slopes.
