"Wait we're not underground, that doesn't mean-" Nick pushed Rox aside as a torrent of "water" fell on him, water not so clean to say
Rani just hoped this wouldn't end badly, She holds Garret by his right arm even though they are both on the ground and quickly crawls out of the crossfire.
"Nick! You didnt have to, now you smell awful from that water due to me, also im in your debt twice now for helping me out"
"Forget about it, let's get out of here" He said trying to ignore that before taking out one of his hooked arrows, throwing it through the hole to start climbing out, he just hoped to get home and take a bath
She climbs quickly as she had no intention to keep standing and wait for whatever is to come out to them
Until they finally found the light at the end of the tunnel, there was a gate that connected it to the outside, Nick kicked it, when they left they noticed that they were about 1 kilometer from the entrance
"Huh....at least we just need to go over there"
Passing next to them in a vehicle was tosho and the rest of the reinforcements, the vehicle stops
"Never mind that, we escaped from a cult of weird creatures all the way down there, we gotta return to our crew, can you give us a ride to the entrance?"
"Those kids? Yeah."
)
"THAT WORKS TOO!"
"Is that the doc?"
"Rani and Garret are safe. You guys can join the extermination team if you wish. I'm done.", he posted in the chat while slowly emerging from the cave entrance. The medic then slumped down against a wall outside with his helmet removed, showing his tired face with bloodshot eyes and bulging veins.
"I think we should see how he is physically" Nick comment after watch in the distance how the doctor was against a wall
"I'm okay by the way. Just give me a break.", the Doctor wrote as he saw them approaching from afar.
"Am I not allowed to take a breather?", he sarcastically asked.
"Doc, you are a doctor, so you should know it yourself when you are good or not, dont try play it tough...its not suiting you..."
"Wha- Of course I know! I'm not an idiot who doesn't know what's good or bad for me. What I need right now is some room to relax. That's all I'm asking for.", he sighed.
"Right back at you, after getting abducted by a cult i need to lay down too to cool my head"
"Let's just sit here for a bit then. The other dudes can handle the problem.", he closed his eyes and slowly started to calm down.
"If you wanna rest and hopefully didnt get injured and hide it so you die peacefully, you do that at the base or our ship, assuming its f*cking fixed now"
Rani just look at her, her eyes tell everything she need to know
"It probably is, yeah.", his eyes opened again as he lazily got up from the ground.
"Took less than expected. I would still like to talk about a few things such as what we discovered at the water source and some... theories.", the Doctor said while taking out the tracking device he had picked up. "All of the incidents that have transpired today seem connected and were all caused by the same group. I think you guys already know who I'm talking about."
"I know....im just tired mentally and fed up from all that went down to shit is all...i need to rest"
Rani raised an eyebrow at that tracking equipment, while she hasn't seen who the doc is referring to, she's starting to get the idea.
"I know, I know, when I'm frustrated sometimes I get like that"
"Ah, yeah, huh, Wonder what they would be doing now" he says while take In Nick's viewfinder, the shape of a three-dimensional map is displayed as a red dot began to rise in the Z coordinate, that is, until the tracker went out of range.
"Do you?"
"You should write down or mark the last coordinates it displayed the dot at"
"Going up? Info from our ship was one of the last things they needed it seems...", he murmured.
"Think we should pay them a visit?", Doc asked as he handed Nick a pen and a piece of paper from his pocket.
"Should send another team, im not my best shape after everything right now"
"Hmm... Yeah, that's fair. Honestly, we all deserve some rest.", the Doctor signed as he looked at Rani. "General, first thing you should do is to get someone to look at the city's air filtration system. Those mutants rigged it up and nearly got everyone killed. Second thing you should do is to get the city's air defense system checked out just in case the Landriders decide to attack us."
