>>5264973The line goes quiet for a moment before Mitzi picks up the reins once more! “Playing Devil’s Advocate here, heading straight for this LAB or whatever might not be a bad move either–they wouldn’t expect us to get past that SEA DEMON, right? Might be a pretty sneaky way in if we can pull it off!”
“‘IF’ being the operative word, yes.” Sybil adds. “And if we move quickly we can do that–I’m certain of it.” The Goth’s features soften a bit as she looks your way. “But Stanley’s choices haven’t steered us the wrong way yet–if she believes that teleporting to this other OUTPOST or even the LAB are the right decisions, well…” She shrugs. “I’ll accept it. But I won’t LIKE it. We’ve had far too many close calls already.”
A snapshot of Art’s dramatic sacrifice pops into your head for a split second.
“Don’t forget OUR close calls, cupcake…” Ly warns, earning a stern nod from Syb. So what? Stupid ideas work all the time! Look at HER! Jabbing your thumb in Lil’ Stanley’s fuzzy face, you earn a low growl for your troubles! This FATTY and the rest of her animal pals do stupid stuff in MeTube vids all the time, but they haven’t gone extinct yet! Explain THAT!
“Flimsy argument, but I’ll allow it.” Sybil huffs. “Keep in mind, Stan, that we can always hike to the OUTPOST… and the others can always run a distraction above in the boat. I can’t promise it’ll be safe, of course, but it should be safER.”
“Yea!” Talbot roars from the other end, “Especially once I’m down there with ya! Don’t like leaving the boat up here alone, but-”
“... See? Totally misses you.” Says Mitz, her smug grin leaking through the radio speaker. After a few more minutes of curses and scuffling, you’re all finally ready to make a judgment call!
