@RoaringMouse_ @Xeno_Paranoia @Allied_Command @BugHunter_USCM @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @SubmersedIre --slipping as the sub gave a lunge upward* Oh shit! *jaw widening in a yawn, he stilled, turning back to @RoaringMouse_* My ears popped.

@RoaringMouse_ @Xeno_Paranoia @Allied_Command @BugHunter_USCM @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @SubmersedIre -- *turning over his shoulder, he grinned @RoaringMouse_, his smile slipping into shock at a jolt and heave of metal, his grip --

@RoaringMouse_ @Xeno_Paranoia @Allied_Command @BugHunter_USCM @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @SubmersedIre -- Grandma's up there right now watching me through her fingers. "Don't fuck this up, Michael. I /like/ your sister."--

@RoaringMouse_ @Xeno_Paranoia @Allied_Command @BugHunter_USCM @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @SubmersedIre --*fingers slipping, he tightened his grip on the out-take valve, doing his best to keep the ballast moving in a continual stream*--

@RoaringMouse_ @Xeno_Paranoia @Allied_Command @BugHunter_USCM @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @SubmersedIre *straining against the ballast drain, he huffed a sharp exhale, drawing a long, ragged breath* Yeaaaah... Ripleys-R-Us. --

@RoaringMouse_ @Xeno_Paranoia @BugHunter_USCM @PixieInferno_ @Allied_Command @SmartSynthetic @SubmersedIre -- wide as the thing refused to budge, nearly yanking his arms from their sockets* *under his breath* Ah geez. Lefty Lucy... /Lefty/.

@RoaringMouse_ @Xeno_Paranoia @BugHunter_USCM @PixieInferno_ @Allied_Command @SmartSynthetic @SubmersedIre --I got the cautiously-evaluate-then-reconsider parts. Here! *pointing, he tugged hard on her hand, ducking into the engine --

@RoaringMouse_ @Xeno_Paranoia @BugHunter_USCM @PixieInferno_ @Allied_Command @SmartSynthetic @SubmersedIre --corner at a run, bootsteps echoing in the stairwell as they bounded down to below deck* You got the bravery and daring-do parts,--

@RoaringMouse_ @Xeno_Paranoia @BugHunter_USCM @PixieInferno_ @Allied_Command @SmartSynthetic @SubmersedIre Uh huh. *skidding across the wet metal floor, refusing to let his mind focus on where the water was coming from, he raced along--

@Xeno_Paranoia @BugHunter_USCM @PixieInferno_ @Allied_Command @SmartSynthetic @SubmersedIre @RoaringMouse_ --We need to get to the engine room. That's where the ballast release is!

@Xeno_Paranoia @BugHunter_USCM @PixieInferno_ @Allied_Command @SmartSynthetic @SubmersedIre @RoaringMouse_ --he peered toward @RoaringMouse_, pulling himself across the floor in an ungainly careen from side to side* We, uh... --

@Xeno_Paranoia @BugHunter_USCM @PixieInferno_ @Allied_Command @SmartSynthetic @SubmersedIre @RoaringMouse_ --billions of gallons of sea water rushing in to stabilize the pressure, and killing us all in a matter of seconds. *brows raised, --
