[GM: Ah, you missed out on the fun down under. Well, there's still
more above ground. ^_^ So, what do you want to do Alex and David.
You can roleplay helping seal off the other hatches, do something else
entirely, or we can start another scene elsewhere. Let me know. ]

Chance laughed good naturedly. "Well, I'll leave the big action scenes
to you pros, but I'd like to come down and give you guys a hand, if I
can." He checked the straps on the body armor he had been given.
"Could someone loan me a firearm?" He winked at Terry. "Just in case
they get close enough so I could knock em over the head with it..."
Slovenski nodded. "Terry, I want you to coordinate with Ms. Dominic
on doing a full ground sweep of all the other access hatches. Find out
if they escaped through any of them. If not, seal it off. We don't need
anyone making a break for it under our noses again." Slovenski looked
at Chance. "Help Terry out."
Another hopper landed nearby and men began throwing out
equipment. Slovenski started for the hopper. "Sasquatch, come on.
Time to get suited up."
"Sure thing," the large youth replied, a sound of intrepidation in his
voice.
Soon, the pair were suited up, looking like the commando twins.
Joining them were two others, also dressed to kill. Slovenski
approached the entry shaft, pulled a glowflare from his bandolier,
struck it and dropped the flare down the shaft. He watched it fall and
come to rest roughly 20 meters down. The flare soon flickered out, its
luminous concoction spent.
Looking down the dark shaft, Slovenski ordered, "OK, let's go." As he
first descended into the shaft, he called out to Terry. "I'm counting on
you doing your part. See you soon." He then quickly dropped out of
sight, apparently sliding down the railing.
Next the other two men followed with Sasquatch on their tail. Before
Sasquatch disappeared below the ground, he looked up at Chance and
smiled his typical dumb-looking smile. "Wish us luck." he called out.
He then disappeared, leaving everyone else on the surface.
