IC-Ep 3-Warriors of the Deep(Everyone else)

Cliff Base - Dunwich, England
3:05 PM - Thursday, September 5, 1985

Leonek and Chad rowed out towards the undersea cave in the smaller boat. The larger boat, carrying Story, Elizabeth, Lucius, Brook, and Tobias followed after them. The boats hugged the coastline along the base of the cliff, and it did not take them long to reach the spot where Leonek had made his first foray into the caverns. Once he pointed the entrance out, everyone could see it.
OOC,Everyone who is entering the water, please roll Swim at double your skill. Those of you wearing diving suits will merely sink to the bottom if you fail the roll, where you can walk along the sea floor, but you'll still be able to breathe just fine. [b]Brook[/b], however, doesn't have one. Anyone who's staying in the boats, please let me know that.

Tobias checks that both boats are well anchored before jumping in. He has no problem swimming but decides to allow himself to sink to near the bottom (assuming it's not too deep) and swim along there whilst following the group. He checks his knife and switches on his torch if necessary to scan the sea bed as he goes.

Lucius entered the water with a splash and managed to swim with ease. It felt odd being able to breathe while underwater, and he couldn't help imagining what a Roman legion could do with suits like these. Everyone seemed to be doing quite well except for Brook, who lost her grip on the edge of the boat and slipped underwater. She had been unable to take a breath beforehand, and when she tried to do so it was too late - a little water entered her lungs before Leonek and Lucius rescued her and took her back up to the surface. She coughed and spluttered, bedraggled, but she could at least breathe again.

Tobias scanned the seabed, but even with the help from the torch, the water was too murky to see much.
OOC,That was some great rolling for everyone except for [b]Brook[/b]'s roll, but fortunately the damage wasn't too bad. A successful First Aid roll will fix that, but it can't be tried while in the water. I rolled for [b]Lucius[/b], as his player hasn't posted in this game in a long time. He and [b]Leonek[/b] are strong enough that they can carry [b]Brook[/b] without having to roll. They can bring her into the cave, and she can hold her breath long enough to get inside, though she'll need to surface quickly once she does.

Chad sees the trouble Brook has and backs off a little as Leonek and Lucius. As they recover the struggling Brook between them he follows behind them toward the cave.

Leonek and Lucius carried Brook into the cave entrance, followed by Chad, Tobias, Story, and Elizabeth. The tunnel sloped gently upwards into a cavern where very little sunlight penetrated from behind, but their torches gave a good view once they surfaced. The tunnel opened up into a large, round chamber. Once he emerged from it, the water was only about two feet deep. It surrounded a raised dais of dry land in the middle, as if it were a moat. On the platform stood a rectangular altar made of obsidian with horns on its four corners. Three additional tunnels led out of this room. The one in the left wall and the one in the right wall both sloped downwards, where the water got deeper. There was another tunnel opposite the one through which they had entered. This one slanted upwards, rising out of the water.

On the dais stood two green, scaly creatures. One of them was eight or nine feet tall, and the other merely seven. Both of them wore long mesh vests that appeared to be made out of silver string. Their huge webbed hands ended in sharp claws, in which each of them carried a long spear and a weighted net. They had gills on their necks and large, bulging eyes, and they had features that seemed to be a combination of various aquatic and amphibian creatures. Elizabeth couldn't help but be reminded of the Gill-man from The Creature From the Black Lagoon, a movie she had seen not long before she had joined the TARDIS crew.

Brook had to surface immediately, as she was out of air. For a second she thought the big one was looking right at her, but it didn't seem to notice her yet. However, they wouldn't be able to miss the torchlight.
OOC,Everyone, please roll Sanity. Sanity loss is 0/1d6, so you'll lose no Sanity if you succeed but 1d6 if you fail. If you lose 5 or more, you must roll Idea. A success at that roll means you go temporarily insane, but a failure means you do not and may act freely.

OOC,Yes, [b]Brook[/b], you did it correctly. :) [b]Chad[/b], you've also lost 20% of your current Sanity, so you'll go indefinitely insane once your temporary insanity wears off. The good news is that you won't lose any more Sanity from seeing these guys if you run into more of them, as you've already lost the maximum. The other good news is that you pick up 5 points of Cthulhu Mythos, and you can go ahead and roll that now if you like. [b]Lucius[/b] may roll as well, as he has some points in Cthulhu Mythos already. I just need Sanity rolls for him and [b]Elizabeth[/b] now.
Chad Engraham,[b]Chad[/b], for the next eight rounds you have echopraxia, which means you'll mimic other people's actions and do whatever they do. There are worse temporary insanities. Your indefinite insanity will be thalassophobia, fear of the sea. It will last for months, and will start once your temporary insanity wears off.

Lucius was starting to get used to seeing bizarre creatures, and he kept his fears in check.

"Did you see that?" asked the larger creature.

"What?" said the other. "I don't see anything."

"There's a sort of glow in the water."

Leonek notices everyone nodding at him and doesn't feel comfortable at all. He quietly leans down to loosen the knife in its sheath and, with everyone's eyes apparently on him, he dims his torch.

Once over his initial shock, Tobias is fascinated by the creatures; they could be just what he's been looking for. He slides his knife out and sinks slowly back down into the water; he quietly makes his way over to Leonek.

Lucius had no idea what these things were - other than trouble.

Story did a quick head count and saw that all seven of them were still gathered there.

"I still can't see it," said the smaller creature, squinting.

"Maybe it's electric eels," said the taller one.

"Doubt it. I've never seen them in these parts."

"I'll go check it out." The big one lumbered closer to where the group was assembled.
Chad Engraham,Yes, I'll keep track of it and let you know. One round has now elapsed, so there are seven more to go.

Leonek slid the knife out of its sheath and readied himself. In the low light, his aim would have to be true, but the creature was large enough too miss. At least, that's what he hoped.

He communicated through hand gestures to Tobias and Lucius that should take care of the little one, while he waited for the big one to be in knife-throwing range.

Lucius drew his dagger and crawled around the moat underwater, heading towards where the smaller creature stood.

The other one reached the edge of the moat where the rest of them were gathered and peered at the water. "There's definitely light," it said, "but I can't make out what's producing it." It was right in front of Brook. She didn't have a light, so it couldn't see her, but she could only hold her breath for so long.

Tobias followed close behind Lucius trying to be quiet, but his oxygen tank struck a rock outcropping with a loud thunk. Both of the creatures turned to look in his direction, just as Brook ran out of air and had to bob her head up. Fortunately for her, the larger monster hadn't seen her yet. The other one moved with incredible speed and tried to scoop up Tobias in its net. The irony of a fish trying to catch a man in the water with a net was dwarfed by the evident danger. However, it did not have a good enough fix on Tobias's location to trap him.

Lucius moved a little slower. He rose up out of the moat and lunged at the fishman with his dagger, stabbing it in the side, causing a significant wound.
OOC,We're in combat now. Everyone except [b]Lucius[/b] may now act before either of the creatures gets a chance.

Leonek threw his knife with perfect accuracy, and it struck the monster square in the back. It staggered but did not fall.

Tobias slashed at the net, but the creature had started pulling it back, and blade missed by inches.
OOC,That was actually a critical hit rather than an impale, since you rolled a 5 or less. In this case, you do normal damage, but it bypasses the creature's armor. When throwing a weapon, you only get half the damage bonus, so that does a total of 6 damage. Now I just need actions for [b]Story[/b], [b]Elizabeth[/b], [b]Brook[/b], and [b]Chad[/b].

Brook takes a deep breath, and treads water, then dives under again when things suddenly get violent. She tries to move in a direction away from the combat, but to where she can watch to see if they need help. She won't interfere before it's necessary, though, figuring it might do more harm than good.

The knife sailed past the monster and landed with a clatter on the island not far from where it stood. It then ran away before anyone else could take any further action, heading into the upward-sloping tunnel leading further back and shouting "Intruders!" The second creature followed shortly behind it.
Chad Engraham,One thing at a time, please. Throwing the knife was your action for the round, and the creatures had a chance to act before you could act again. Also, while you're insane, you may only do what at least one of the others has already done. You may choose who you copy, but someone else has to initiate it. If someone chases the creatures, you may do likewise. This ends the third round of your insanity, and five more remain.
OOC,We're out of combat now, and you may all act freely.

"You'll never catch them!" Tobias calls after Leonek and Chad as they disappear into the darkness. "Idiots! Those creatures know these caves I reckon, they'll easily outstrip the guys. I bet the creatures aren't expecting such a large group of us; maybe we can still surprise them - and rescue Leonek and Chad." He says to Storey and the women as he picks up the fallen tanks and stashes them behind a high rock.

The central dais was flat except for the altar and devoid of rocks, but there were numerous rock outcroppings in the cavern walls near the surrounding moat, so everyone was able to stash their air tanks in the water by wedging them between the rocks. The group headed up the sloping tunnel. The water level dropped off, and soon the ground was dry. Everyone emerged into another round chamber, this one also with a tunnel exiting in each of the four cardinal directions. The one ahead continued to ascend, but the ones on the left and right were level. The two creatures fled down the tunnel to the left, from which a faint orange glow was visible.
Leonek Novak,The tunnel to the right was the dead end where the blue box was. [b]Leonek[/b] had never ventured down the other tunnels, but the creature that had nearly drowned [b]Salem[/b] had come out of the left tunnel, before which it had been talking to someone else.

Tobias Maddox,[b]Tobias[/b] heard a splashing sound from the cavern behind them, and he could hear one of the creatures from down the tunnel to the left saying: "Intruders in the caves, with knives!"
Chad Engraham,Now that [b]Chad[/b] had emerged from the water, he saw drag marks leading up the slope and then around the corner to the passage on the right. They matched the dimensions of the square depression that had been on the beach. He also heard a splashing sound from the cavern behind them, and he could hear one of the creatures from down the tunnel to the left saying: "Intruders in the caves, with knives!"
Everyone ran down the passage to the right, which opened up into another chamber. It was smaller than the other ones, and the walls were rougher and more irregular. In the center of the cave, a blue police box stood. The doors to the box were closed, and it looked barely large enough to hold four people, much less all seven of them. Story and his companions recognized it as the TARDIS.

Image
Story/Elizabeth/Brook/Tobias,The splashing sound continued, following them up the sloping tunnel until it resolved into footsteps that entered the cavern they had just left. There seemed to be four feet, indicating either two creatures walking upright or one on all fours.

He also heard more voices coming from the direction in which the first two creatures they had encountered had fled: "We should release [b]Rover[/b]," said a female voice. "He'll take care of the problem." "Very well," said an unfamiliar male voice. Then there was a distant rumbling sound from that direction, as of stone grinding on stone.

Everyone hurried through the doors and piled into the TARDIS. Story, Elizabeth, Lucius, and Brook were relieved to be back in familiar surroundings. To their shock, Chad, Leonek, and Tobias saw that there was plenty of room inside, which was clearly impossible. They found themselves in a large hexagonal space with roundels on the walls. The centerpiece was a hexagonal control console of some sort, which was studded with levers, dials, knobs, screens, indicators, and various other instruments. A large transparent column was in the middle of that. The open doors behind them no longer looked like the blue doors of a police box, but they matched the style of this room's walls. At the back of the room was a door, promising that this strange place was larger still.

Tobias looks around in total shock. He looks back to the door. "No, that's totally impossible." He thinks back, surely the Tardis was standing with space all around it. "Have we just walked into a room? I'm sure it was just a box." He goes to touch the wall. "Not rock though." He says to himself. He gives the young girl a strange look.

Leonek turns around, looking at the interior, then at the others, at the interior again and then at Story.

"Is it bigger or are we smaller? It would explain the capacity of your sonic probe, miniaturisation of this scale would allow you to generate an almost infinite capacity from any size of resonance chamber. But the energy needed to reduce a chamber capable of creating the kind of output you'd need to start the car with as you did would be immense, let alone what you'd need to shrink half a dozen people is so short an amount of time to fit them all into the same small police box, which means that either you have a power source of unheard of capacity or...or...or it IS bigger on the inside."


Leonek blinks, hearing himself say what he just spewed forth.

"Merely in a separate dimension...", Chad's echolalia almost seemed contagious.


Leonek's mind seems to slowly kick into gear again.

"Doctor Kirby! We have to go help and pick up the others. Does this thing move?"

You can almost see him trying to get his around the dimensional thing.

"Or do we just walk through those doors and end up somewhere else?"

Story,[b]Story[/b] could tell that there were other lifeforms nearby from the instrument readings, but it was hard to determine how many there were or what kind. One of them was very close, probably visible on the scanner if he were to open the monitor screen. He didn't know for certain where the others were right now, but they had left [b]Salem[/b] and [b]Raymond[/b] on the beach at [b]Horsham[/b]'s shack, and he knew approximately where that was. Unfortunately, getting there using the TARDIS was a very iffy proposition. He never was the best pilot, and short hops had always been especially difficult. [spoiler][b]Story[/b], if you want to try to use the TARDIS to get back to the beach, you may try a Pilot TARDIS roll. However, if you fail, you will not be able to control your destination and will effectively leave this adventure and head off for the next one - bringing your guests with you.[/spoiler]

Story reached over and activate the view screen so that his companions and their guests can get a glimpse of what's happening right outside.

Running his hand through his hair he says, "Well...I'm afraid if I attempt to move us I may very well take us from this time and place which will definitely not help Dr. Kirby. Nor will our departure help Salem and Raymond." For a brief moment his hand hovers over a lever as if he is considering pulling it. However, after a moment he pulls his hand away and looks at the view screen before saying, "Now is the time to decide the future...shall we exit the TARDIS and quite possible die, though not necessarily, or stay safe and see where she takes us next? Hmmm. This time you all must decide..."

Story looks back at the lever and grabs hold of it. A thousand thoughts race through his mind but only one shine bright - the value of the human life. Does the needs of the many really outweigh the needs of the few? For once he stands torn as his knuckles turn white from the grip he has on the lever.

The screen slid open, revealing a view of the cave in front of the TARDIS and the tunnel through which they had entered it. A massive creature was standing in front of the TARDIS, sniffing at it. This thing resembled the other creatures somewhat, but it was a good twelve feet tall and had a face full of writhing tentacles, and it also had numerous slimy tentacles in addition to its arms that ended in vicious-looking claws. From the shape, it seemed vaguely female. The monster circled around the TARDIS, ending up back in front of it. It seemed to shrug before bending down on all fours and crawling through the tunnel and away, revealing a large dorsal fin on its back.

Chad looks at the horrible creature and recoils. "That such creatures roam the deep!? One thing's for certain I'm not going back into that water! Period! I don't care anymore, I won't do it! A fine time to remember that your control of this device is a bit less than perfect Professor. The plan was, get here, cause a commotion, secure the conveyance. Check, check, check. Only to find out our pilot has a habit of getting lost while flying around. Like I said, I don't know whether we are getting out of here alive or dead, I just know my way isn't going back into that water." Chad clears the action of his Luger of any water or debris then re-holsters it. "So what's it going to be, roll the dice in here and if we lose go someplace strange, or roll the dice out there and if we lose we end up dead? Just so you all know, while I was out in the cave I got a good chance to listen to what was going on. A male and a female voice, saying they should release 'Rover' to take care of us. I think we just met Rover. Anyway we've got my Luger and a few clips, and maybe I can get a few shots off before we get overwhelmed, how many times do you think I have to hit it before it drops? Better yet where do I shoot it, that even hurts it? I figure I hit about half the time when I'm shooting under pressure. Well what do you all say? Given that things size some of us will likely get at least hurt bad and possibly dead, and if those other things come back and reinforce it could be a real problem, if there are more things than just those three that get involved the odds of any of of living drop way down..... It's a dice roll either way. And for my part, even if we get extremely lucky and kill everything down here, if there isn't another way back to the surface, I'm taking Professor Story's wild ride, because I sure won't swim out.

He shakes his head and looks at the control panel.

Lucius barely kept his fears in check. Creatures he could handle; it was magic that freaked him out. The apparent cowardice of Tobias and Chad offended his Roman sensibilities, and he frowned at them. "Are you both unmanned?" he said. "A woman is in peril, and we have to make sure she is safe. If it comes to a fight, I'm prepared, but who is to say it is necessary? We may be able to find a way around the creature without confronting it. If we merely wait long enough for them to search the caves, they may assume we have fled."

Elizabeth did not pay any attention to what Brook said, panic overriding her reason. She threw open the interior door and ran down a corridor with the same sort of roundels on its walls.

Tobias calms down, shakes his head and watches as the creature slimes off down the tunnel. "That seriously freaked me out; did you see it? Monsterous, man, it was huge. How many of those suckers are out there?" He leans on the control unit. "Rover? You reckon it was some kinda sick guard dog? Well, I'm not going out there will that thing prowling around, no sir. I don't reckon a regular bullet would do much to that body, you'd need a Raufoss or something explosive like a HEA-47 at least."

Looking at Leonek he says, "You're quite right Leonek we do need to help Dr. Kirby. I agree with Lucius let's wait a few minutes and then slip out. Hmmmm I wonder..." He then turns his attention back to the console as he moves to the spot where the sensors are located.

Leonek seems relieved.

"Good! Do you have any weapons in here? If not, there was a crate of diving knives in the cave your tardy is in."


He starts readjusting the straps on his suit and walks towards the TARDIS door.


"I'll wait a few moments and then go out to check if the crate is still there. Then, whoever has any courage left is invited to join to go find the others and help rescue Dr. Kirby."

Chad listens to Lucius and watches Leonek, shakes his head and clears his thoughts. "I didn't clear my gun because I thought I'd need it in here. I'm not unmanned, but neither am I unbrained...yet; Lucius I respect the bravado that says the only course of action is to run head long into danger, violence in your hands, attacking, smashing, and killing things until all that stands in your way is dead, dying or crying; and if you didn't die, you didn't try. But you missed my point entirely. Both routes have risks, chance, and both success and failure paths. Both failure paths involve NOT helping Dr. Kirby. Both success paths involve HELPING Dr. Kirby. One failure path involves all of us dying. Now unless that path can reasonably be assumed to have a markedly higher odds of success then it is clearly inferior. But we need to think and look at our situation and the circumstances. So let's start this way. Professor Story what are the odds you can land this thing back topside? Second, if this widget travels in time it MUST have a sensor package?"

"By the way what I said before about not going back into the water. Let me reiterate, I will NOT go back into that water. "

Runs his right hand through his hair and looks at Chad and says, "If I remember correctly the clifftops that overlook the beach are only a few dozen feet above sea level...which seems to correspond to the abbey ruins. I don't think we need to worry about getting back into the water. Logically there must be a surface access." Turning to Leonek he says, "Whenever your ready to check the immediate area just give the word." Without looking Story's hand finds the door lever as he waits for Leonek's word.

Tobias has a good look at the control unit, running his hands along the lines and edges, not for the last time, he wishes desperately he still has his camera that was lost in the crash; he gives Chad a foul look, reckoning he'd be better as a politician than a pilot.

Chad scowls back at Tobias. Sure he's felt inadequate since the crash, like he had to prove he was useful since he blew the landing, killed the ground crew, and injured the whole team. He had one job and he blew it ...Maybe he has been compensating....But for a military unit the leadership has been positively chaotic, more like more like a bickering and banter one would expect from a gathering for a game of bridge than an elite military unit. "OK by my reckoning of what we've seen we need 5 people lethally armed and ready to kill in order to keep the odds on our side out there. They didn't release Rover to serve us tea and biscuits. Who's up for that challenge? Professor you never answered my first question. What do you think are the odds you can land this thing back topside?"

Rather annoyed that he has to admit this Story hesitantly tells Chad, "Slim...even in a calm relaxed state the odds are still against us. The TARDIS is a rather complicated, highly sensitive piece of Gallifreyan technology and such a small shift is quite hard to plot. Besides she can be very finicky. Looks around the room at everyone before looking back at Chad. "If I make the attempt you, Tobias, and Leonek have to truly be okay with the possibility of never returning to this particular time and place. Could the three of your handle that?

"Tobias," Lucius said abruptly, "could you come over here for a moment? I have something I would like you to take a look at."

The Roman led Tobias away from the others for a bit of private conversation and he pulled out a strange looking object that he had apparently been carrying around. "I... don't know what this is exactly. Seemed to be a weapon of some sort, but I don't know how it works. Somewhat afraid to tinker much with it for fear I might blow my own head off my shoulders. Perhaps you can sort it out?"
Handy,Could you please describe that strange weapon I took from Pluto? Thanks. That is assuming I still have it.

"If you leave this cave, the passage to the right slopes up. The one in front is where the creatures came from the first time I was here and the one to the left is down to the sea."

Lucius showed Tobias a black knob-like device that was small enough to fit in the palm of one's hand. It had some unusual electrical wiring running through it. It looked like nothing he had ever seen before.
OOC,[b]Tobias[/b], please roll Electrical Repair to see what you can determine about the device.
Leonek stepped back out into the cave and found the daggers and the torches right where he had left them. There were still five of each. The lengths of rope were still there as well.

Leonek Novak,[b]Leonek[/b] could barely hear a conversation in the next cave as he collected the equipment. "[b]Emilia[/b] has already searched storage, so they can't be in there," said a voice he recognized as belonging to [b]Kal'ee[/b]. "They must have fled up the stairs to the surface. You, go tell [b]Y'Hali[/b] what happened and that we need reinforcements here. You, head upstairs and guard the entrance. [b]Emilia[/b], can you guard the sea entrance? If anyone tries to come in, grab 'em." "Okay, Uncle [b]Kal'ee[/b]," said a strange, burbling female voice. "[b]Emilia[/b] like grab!" Splashing sounds came from ahead and to the left.

Leonek Novak,From the next cave, [b]Leonek[/b] heard footsteps moving off to the right and out of earshot. Other footsteps moved further away, followed by a squelching sound that faded into the distance.

"There's at least five of them and that Rover creature. They seem to be moving away from the cave with the crossroads. I think one is guarding the exit at the top and another one is guarding the sea exit."


He puts the gear on the floor and starts coiling a length of rope.


"They are getting reinforcements, so we'll have to move quickly."


He frowns, an unhappy look on his face.

"A station named Pluto, I believe. It was a strange place, barren... cold..." Lucius responded to Tobias. "These inhuman creatures... not even animal if I understood what was going on exactly... they used them quite effectively. I tried to figure it out on my own, but had no such luck. I've been holding on to it, thinking maybe I could smash it against the ground in a pinch, sacrifice myself to save the others.

He then looks around at Leonek, Tobias, and Chad and says, "Good luck and God spend. Once you've departed I will attempt to make a micro jump so that we can assist you on the surface...however, don't count on us. It would be a miracle if I manage it."

Tobias Maddox,The device was clearly a weapon of some sort, and its technology level was defintely above anything available currently on Earth. It also was clearly alien in origin. It was designed to be held in a hand or other appendage with the flat end pointed at the target. It would emit a powerful electrical charge when fired. It was made to interface with the electrical nervous system of its wielder in order to generate the charge, but it was set up to work with an alien physiology. However, it did seem possible to rewire it so that a human might use it. [spoiler][b]Tobias[/b], if you want to try to rewire it, please make a second Electrical Repair roll.[/spoiler]

Elizabeth ran randomly through the TARDIS, passing through corridors, down some stairs, and by a swimming pool of all things. Fortunately, her flippers left wet splotches on the ground as she fled, which would make it easy to retrace her steps later.

Elizabeth continued to run, not really caring where she was going. Eventually she reached a lovely garden with a stone bench in the middle of it. It was very serene and peaceful here, and she at last felt safe.

Story smiles and says, "Sometimes it seems that way my friend."

"Well let's see what happens," says Elizabeth, smiling to Story.

Lucius lifted an eyebrow, "Like it's ... alive? If you truly believe that, have you... have you tried talking to it?"

As he finishes pushing some buttons, as well as closing the door, Story looks at Lucius and smiles before saying, "I talk to her all the time." Looking at the console he gentle pats it and speaking to it says, "Don't fail me now old girl." He then places his hand on the dematerialization lever. He hesitates in pulling it as he looks around the room at his companions and exhales deeply.

Elizabeth nods to Story encouragingly, and crosses her fingers.

Lucius lifted an eyebrow high as he said, "Wait ... all this time, I figured you were operating it...directing it where to go. What are you doing with all the buttons and levers if you aren't in control? Wishful thinking? Can anyone take a crack at it, sling some petty compliments its way, and hope for the best?"

More and more, this whole TARDIS thing was starting to look a lot like magic... which he had a real problem with.

Story smiles at his companions confusion and says, "Lucius...I do my best but sometimes I don't do it right and so it seems as if the TARDIS has a mind of its own. Of course, it does always seem to get us in trouble when we land and that can't just be a coincidence. Mind you not anyone can operate her. Have no fear my friend the TARDIS is very much a machine for our travels. Don't worry...I don't."

Lucius frowned and headed out of the room, down the maze of corridors within the TARDIS. Perhaps he could find a better answer within.

Lucius headed back into the corridors, past his own rooms and those of the other travelers. He didn't really know his way around beyond that, though he now knew the route back to the swimming pool and the garden he had found earlier.

Chad, Leonek, and Tobias were now in the cavern in which the TARDIS stood. The only other exit led back to that central cavern, which looked and sounded clear at this time.
OOC,For now the UNIT people will stay in the same thread. I'm waiting for [b]Story[/b] before I split the thread, because first I need to know where the TARDIS will end up going.

Tobias prowls round the tardis feeling it with his hand. "It really does look just like an old English police box. Unbelievable technology. Nobody will believe me though." He sighs and turns to Leonek. "What's the plan then - we heading up? If so, I'll follow you military guys."

Leonek shrugs as he leans against the cave wall, peering into the darkness.

"We head up and try to regroup with the others at the beach and then try to find out if we can support the extraction of Dr. Kirby."


He nods appreciatively as he sees Tobias look at the TARDIS.

"I'm glad you're with us, Tobias, even though you don't have to."

Story grabs the lever and as he pulls it he says, "Brace yourselves...here goes nothing."

On hearing Story's words Elizabeth grabs for the first available fixed thing to grip on to, and tries to prepare for whatever might happen.

Lucius headed for the baths - familiar territory, a good place to start. He kept his eyes open for a small bit of coal or chalk ... something to mark the walls with so he could keep track of his path. Once he had that, he would set about exploring the TARDIS corridors systematically. "How big could it be?" he wondered to himself, hoping the ship wouldn't take it as a challenge of some sort.
