SOLDIER WERE PUSHED OUT OF THE WAY, (Name) was a girl with a mission a d nothing could stop her. Her hair was falling from the messy bun, her eyes darting around furiously in search for someone. She painted, stopping as she decided whether to go left or right. She was pushed to the left and decided to just go with it and hope for the best.

"Audrey!" (Name) yelled as she practically pounced on her friend. The girl in demand span, happily engulfing (Name) in a brief hug. Audrey want one for sharing hugs, but she knew (Name) needed reassurance in times like this.  "C'mon, we gotta get to a pod!"

Audrey gave a stiff nod before turning. The two worked together to spin a wheel that closed a heavy mettle door, stopping the water from entering that side of the ship - along with anyone who hadn't been fast enough.

"We gotta secure the ship before we leave!" Audrey yelled at her so she could be heard over the noise. Without waiting for an answer, she took off running, (Name) hot on her heels. They weren't dying today, not on her watch.

(Name) finally caught up. Audrey was trying her hardest to tig on a wheel, a d it was slowly starting to move. "What do you need?

"You see those two levers, there, to my left?" -- (Name) made a noise that told audrey she knew what she was talking about -- "I need you to pull one towards yourself and rotate the other anti-clockwise until you hear a click!"

(Name) moved quickly, pulling the lever first before grabbing the other and spinning it as quickly as she could. After a few minutes - if that - her arms began to ache and she had to grunt in order to encourage herself to keep going. Then there was a satisfying click and she released the lever, turning to ses Audrey flicking some switches a d pressing a bunch of buttons that (Name) didn't know existed, nevermind what they did.

The ship shuddered and bolts started to come out of place. They shot out of the walls like bullets, one scrawled past (Name)'s cheek, leaving a red mark that was sure to scar. "Now what!"

Audrey was ready way ahead of her, she had grabbed onto an odd shaped phone and brought it to her ear, shouting through it. "Rourke!" (Name) could imagine him wincing as the loud noise hit his ear.

She grasped onto a rail, the ship shuddering again. She refused to leave her friend.

"We took a big hit down here! We're taking on water fast! Audrey continued glancing around at all the bolts that were now missing and had created holes. "I don't want to be around when it hits the boilers!" (Name) physically paled at the idea, she gulped her fear down shaking her head.

"How much time do we have?"

"Twenty minutes if the bug-head holds."

Their was a mother shudder followed by a loud bag. (Name) turned to Audrey. "Better make that five!"

Up on the bridge, Milo was beginning to panic. "Go! Go where!" A soldier shoved him along. Helga leaned over a rail, yelling at Packard.

"Packard! Sound the alarm!"

"And he took his suitcase?" Packard was talking on the phone. "Marge, honey, don't think hes coming back." She took a long drag from her cigarette.
