"I didn't say diverting back to its original course couldn't be done, just that it'd take more effort than I'd like to casually suggest, especially on short notice. Its a big stream, and digging a new channel would require a lot of man hours. In any case, we don't know if the contents of the cave are important at all, finding that out is part of what we were asked to do. If the answer turns out to be no, we'll probably just stand back and let it flood."

"I'm glad you're enthusiastic about this, I sure as heck didn't take it this well."
I look at Grant a little longer, "You sure you're okay? I mean no offense, but please be honest, a breakdown down in those tunnels is likely to get people hurt."

“Jason, I’m a pretty relaxed guy when the world hands me stress. What I am not OK about in this situation is being away from my family, but I know that only me throwing myself into this world and learning everything I can will I get back to them. So I have a goal that is above anything set by the being that brought us here, but of accomplishing their goal gets me to mine, so be it. I’m a survivor. If needs be, I will work my ass off to reach my goal.”
“ I know that in this situation, my life is also dependent upon my skills and my ability to survive, but with my own knowledge and history added to what has been dumped in my head, I intend to reach the end intact. “
Out of Character: : I will go shopping later on, and post to my purchases in the thread.
I nod, "Good, hold onto that. We'll get home, we just have to stick together. By one means or another, we'll find a way."
"For now though, think you're set? At least for the basics? If so, lets head on up and find the others. We ought to finish getting the team acquainted, I still need to get Vickie set up for her gear, preferably with Rachel's help, and I'd like to run at least a few team drills. Busy day ahead."
