DAY FOUR - THE BOMBS

[inferis]

[Well, the message has got out to you, you need to find those explosives, and fast! Don't forget to get your space suits on, and those on the Event Horizon need to prepare themselves to move to the Lewis and Clark]

[Jane's probably the last kind of civilian anybody wants on a bomb team, but she's there, and she will insist on coming no matter what anyone says. They need all the help they can get.]

Do you think they'll be very big? We'll have to bring them all the way back to the door...

[kungfuwitch]

[To Jane]

I don't know. It's tough to tell exactly what they look like. They should be small enough to carry, though, I'd imagine.

[Kelly is the only one of her team that Phoebe doesn't know. She makes a point to move closer to the woman as they search]

Hi. I should probably introduce myself. I'm Phoebe Halliwell.

[hardenedimmortal]

[He's silent as walks, lost in his own thoughts and memories]

Just for reference, does anyone have experience with explosions? I have some experience, but it's been over thirty years since I've last handled anything resembling a bomb.

[banshee_rider]

[Kelly tips her head at Pheobe. She's nearly 7', skin pale and mottled pink with old burns.]

Spartan-087, it's a pleasure.

[She nods at Jane and Adam.] I have experience, and I daresay I can carry most anything we find.

[cyan_maid]

I've had some experience on the receiving end.

[Because being the target of assassination attempts and your best friend's tricks totally counts.]

[kungfuwitch]

[Hey she once married a guy who used to turn into a red and black demon. She doesn't judge. She also has no doubt that she can carry as much as she says she can. Thankfully she's used to being around taller people, being only 5'2" herself, so she's not intimidated by the woman's height. She shoots Kelly a small smile]

A pleasure to meet you, too. I don't really have experience with explosives that aren't magical but I can still help.

[She reaches out to touch Jane's shoulder, giving it a reassuring squeeze.]

Me, too. Don't worry, Jane. We'll do what we can to make sure no one gets hurt with these ones.

[hardenedimmortal]

[His lips twist downwards in a scowl as he looks around. One would think that there would be some sign or that the bombs would be a lot easier to find]

[banshee_rider]

[Kelly's methodically checking every corner, up in the bulkheads, behind vents, moving and emptying any storage crates they find that might hold a likely candidate for a bomb.]

Anyone else having any luck?

[inferis]

[There's a flashing coming from one of the vents, slow and steady]

[cyan_maid]

[Jane's got good eyes. She spots the flash, and she points to the vent.]

What's that?

[kungfuwitch]

What's what?

[Phoebe turns and sees the light. She immediately rushes over, peering through the vents.]

Hey! Hey I think this is it!

[hardenedimmortal]

[He glances around, soon finding something that could pry the vents off]

Move.

[He positions the bar and begins to work. His hand slips and pain shoots through his hand. Cursing in Japanese, he shakes his now busted knuckles. He hasn't felt pain in so long that it takes him by surprise]

[banshee_rider]

[Kelly hesitates a moment, but when he fumbles she steps in, kneeling close to the vent.]

Here, let me --

[She takes a quick moment to gauge the position of the flashing light within the vent, and then delivers a cobra-quick punch at the vent. With armor she could have peeled it back like aluminum foil, but hopefully this would work just as well to get them access.]

[inferis]

[And once the vent is removed, there waiting for collection is a small bomb. GOOD JOB TEAM!]

[cyan_maid]

[Jane gasps.] It's really a bomb!

[kungfuwitch]

[Phoebe breathes a sigh of relief]

Thank God. Now we just have to get it to the doors.

[She looks at Spartan and Adam... What? SHE doesn't want to carry the damn thing.]

[hardenedimmortal]

[He glowers at Spartan. He doesn't like being showed up by anyone]

Show off.

[The words are muttered beneath his breath, barely audible]

[banshee_rider]

[Oh, she hears that. It hadn't been her intention, maybe; she was just trying to get to the thing as quickly as possible, but that doesn't stop a small ghost of a smile quirking the corners of her mouth.]

[And because everyone else seems so hesitant and she's used to carting around tactical nukes for a living, she reaches in and pulls it out, looking it over before standing.]

Looks like we're set.

[cyan_maid]

Let's go set it up!

[Jane's already looking down in the general direction of where she thinks the door is. Kid's antsy.]

[kungfuwitch]

[She heard that, Adam. She gives him a sideways look. Play nice. At least until they're through the doors and get everyone to safety.

She gives Spartan a grateful nod, standing and following Jane]

Agreed. The faster we can get the door open the better.

[hardenedimmortal]

[Adam doesn't say anything more, simply heading for the door. He's thankful that he thought to memorize the ship that first night so he knew where things were]

[banshee_rider]

[Kelly follows behind, inspecting the explosive as they go.] We'll need to pick up suits after this; be ready to go when they initiate the blast.

[cyan_maid]

Yes, Ms. Spartan!

[She's going to be extra polite to you, you're not telling her to go somewhere safe. Don't be surprised if she goes off on her own once the doors open.]
