Connor leaned on the door frame, looking at the two prone bodies. Tiki had the power to regain consciousness, but he was so far too weak to do anything anyways.
He sighed. "I'll take watch," he said. "Monitor Xander's condition, please."

Esther tapped her fingers on her lap, "I'll tell them that my car broke down somewhere back this way. I'm sure a couple of them will end up going to try and find it and maybe tow it back. They probably won't be gone long, but there will be less of them. And while you get the...object, thing. I can try to keep the rest distracted," she looked at him, "Do you think that will work?"

Richard nodded, pulled his radio to his mouth, and began speaking. He listed off name and serial number. "If anyone can hear me, please respond. We have returned from an assignment in South America, we took extremely heavy casualties. We have wounded. Repeat..." He went through it once more, then paused, waiting for an answer and looking at St. Cyrill.

Gray nodded. "Sounds good. Let's get to it."
He told her to wait about ten minutes, then he set off alone so that he could get a head start. He climbed the back of the glacier, wearing a suit of dark blue and gray to blend in. He waited for Esther to make her move.
St. Cyrill saw him and raised an eyebrow. "OK, you did it. You want a ******** cookie?" He was not in the best mood.

"That was more of a 'staring into space, two persons are both waiting for results' sort of stare," Richard suggested pleasantly. He was not in the best mood either but he was trying to contain it completely. No response so far. He tried repeating again.

There was no response.
After a few minutes St. Cyrill took the radio and put it next to Richard on the seat. "Not working," he said shortly. "I don't think this is going to be that easy." He groaned and closed his eyes.

"Let's try a phone. I think I remember my commanding officer's home number, and I'm sure I remember the international code," he suggested. "There's gotta be a pay phone or a phone we can force our way to somewhere around here."

Xander stirred slightly and opened an eye, "What the ********..." he mumbled, adjusting to a sitting position.

"Hey, he's awake!" Kurtis called out to Doctor Connor. "Hey, Xander, how are you feeling?" He was nervous and in position to jump back.

St. Cyrill shrugged. "Do what you will."
Connor entered the room. Dawn was beginning to break.
"It's been an hour. Same time as Tiki. Interesting."

"I feel like s**t." Xander answered without looking up, "What the Hell happened?"

Connor said, "Substance," before coming all the way into the room.
"Can you define 'shitty'? How shitty?" he said with a smile.

Kurtis backed off. His realm was mainly physics, not... alien biology? Biology in general, even.

McMullard shrugged and headed for the nearest door, which he proceeded to knock upon and prepare to break down.
