She digs her fingers into his shoulder, half-shaking. "Eridan. This isn't the time. Our entire goal is to escape and if successful we would never even see any of these people again. If you can't even manage to control yourself for a few hours your desired black activity will quite possibly be acquired by means of lipstick so colored." In a sharp lower voice: "And he's ten."
After a deep sigh she begins to speak more broadly. "But his points about the rifle are valid. If we don't know the layout, that means any given wall could lead to the vacuum of space, which even a room away will still be potentially lethal. Which if the footage I saw is accurate has a tendency to lead to death." ...wait, wasn't Gokudera in that footage?! ...not the time to question that. "I'll acknowledge the situation is dire enough that use of force is certainly potentially valid, and we do need to act quickly, but quickly acting to get ourselves thrown into the void isn't much of an answer."

Gokudera stops explaining as soon as Eridan begins to shout, and prepares a fire-back on his own; he won't be refereed to as an idiot! Kanaya's interference somewhat dulls his upcoming tantrum however so he settles with a snarl accompanied by a nasty glare in Eridan's direction. Black activity? Lipstick? Yes, he's totally oblivious to the hate-flirting of course.
''I'm hearing plenty of complaining, but no suggestions as to the next course of action.. And I didn't intend to shoot at completely random walls!'' He totally was just a few seconds ago for lack of any better ideas, but they didn't need to know that. ''We can backtrack to where Andrea was last spotted; maybe that'll provide us with some clues since she was the last to get kidnapped. Oh right.. I'm talking about the old man with glasses; did you see him before he got captured?''

OW.
Grubfucking ow.
He whinges piteously when Kanaya's claws dig into his shoulder and shake him, fins drooping down from their formerly proud display. "Oh come on Kan, I'm not doin' anyfin wwrong! Don't chainsaww me I thought wwe wwere friends!" Once Kanaya lets go, he rubs his shoulder, trying to not look too pitiful. Dignified seadweller who is trying to hateflirt, not pityflirt. Besides, he's reasonably certain that if he tries switching to redrom right now, Kanaya will make good on that threat concerning black activity.
Though he'll never say it aloud, he almost wishes Sollux were here, because then maybe they'd have a hope of getting into the computer systems. "Hawen't seen one a you humans that looks like that. But if they use transportalizers, howw are wwe goin' to be able to track them? Right noww this is lookin' pretty glubbin' hopeless."

He hates to admit it, but the male troll is right; the whole situation is pretty darn hopeless.. The urge to bang his head against the table is strong, but he manages to refrain, settling with lighting up a new cigarette instead.
''We can't just give up; there must be a way..'' Stubbornness ftw, but he's starting to run out of ideas. ''We could try to find one of the remaining terrorists and make them tell us where the living quarters are; they should know. Well, provided that Medic hasn't killed them all of course; he's murdered at least two of them already, but the other two might still be alive.''

Right after he's done she chimes in: "It's plausible we could retrace Andrea's steps. I spoke with--" (and she does hesitate very briefly over the word because it still confuses her how the body she saw was most certainly dissonant from the notion she had gathered of human females) "--her, just a short while ago." She fishes out her communicator to bring up the conversation, keeping the audio on mute to avoid any digressions on the actual material discussed. "There must be some way the soldiers got to her, even though they transportalize. Either way she was there last." ...it hasn't exactly sunken in for her yet how similar all the "corridors" and "bedrooms" of this place are. "I suggest we see if we can get to the soldiers from that location, then. En route we can discuss actual plans for once we confront them. Given we all have at least basic combat abilities, getting to the soldiers at all seems to be the most unstable part of the plan."

He's trying to postpone explaining the body-switch stuff for as long as he can since he thinks that it'll just confuse the newcomers even more.

He grumbles under his breath about how he most certainly isn't acting like a wiggler, before paying attention to the conversation at hand. "You don't hawe any wway a accessin' the transportalizer controls from here?"

The talk with Medic earlier had completely made him forget about that.

''I couldn't care less about damaging property'' Gokudera mumbles. Still, they had finally decided on a plan, and that was something. ''I'll give Prussia and Canada a quick briefing on what we discussed before we head out, and see if they managed to come up with something too. Perhaps we should split into two groups in order to cover ground more effectively?''

So far as ideas that will actually work, if we'd rather go the less destructive route, I'm perfectly fine with one of the bodies being found with a teleporter activator wrist thingy.

That works! I guess we'll have to go more into details about how that thing works when one of the groups find it ^^

Oh man, this is just going to be the best, guys. I think we've finally found the right medium between socializing and plotting here.
