[Scott-in-House, Ami, Sam Tyler, Ripley] WTF?starborn_scribeJune 29 2007, 17:16:56 UTC
Scott was resting in a cafeteria chair when Daniel burst into the room. "There's a self-destruct counting down. Everyone outside, now!"
Thanks to Molly's warnings few protested. As Scott struggled to his feet he asked, "How long until--"
"Supposedly four minutes," the Doctor-in-Daniel snapped as he scooped up some of the gathered supplies. "D'you want to wait and see if the timer's accurate?"
Scott didn't bother answering the rhetorical question. A surge of adrenaline suppressed most of his aches and pains. Suddenly Ami-in-Blaise was at his side, wrapping one arm under his shoulders.
"Wait!" Sam Tyler's voice cried. Ripley-in-Brit rushed up to them. To Ami she said, "You're stronger than me at the moment. I'll get Scott out of here. You get your stuff and as many supplies as you can."
"I can--" Scott began protesting. Ripley's glare silenced him.
"Right," Ami agreed.
Before Scott could react Ripley had scooped him up and was heading for the outside door. Something drew her attention, and she halted. "Tyler! You're the fastest and strongest of us here*. The place is gonna blow."
"Wot?!" Ripley's voice said.
Ripley ignored the interruption. "Check all the rooms. Drag people outside if you have to. MOVE!" She followed her own advice, resuming the bumpy trip up the stairs and into the jungle.
Ami had gotten ahead of them somehow. She dropped an impressive amount of bags and supplies a short distance inside of the treeline. Ripley soon caught up, muttering something about Tyler needing to work out. She set Scott on his feet near the growing pile of supplies.
"Thanks," Scott said sincerely. He tried not to think about how emasculating the whole experience was.
[May-in-Hiro, NPC Hiro-in-May]weirdwebJune 29 2007, 17:28:11 UTC
Just as Daniel burst in, Hiro clutched at the back of his neck and cried out. "Oh, hell," May muttered, knowing exactly what that meant.
So she was already moving before Daniel confirmed the need to leave. Hiro already had her backpack, so she grabbed his arm and started tugging him towards the door. He didn't protest and caught on quickly as they bolted outside. Hiro started sprinting to the treeline, May trailing behind him. He paused and ran back to pull her along. "You really need to take up jogging," she joked as they reached the treeline at the same time that Ami-in-Blaise did.
She caught her breath as Ripley-in-Sam carried Scott over to the pile. "Who's unaccounted for? I could help if I was in my own body."
