Human After All

Archive Log: 21

The process of rescuing both Doctor Shaw and Holloway from the battering storm started with everyone else getting safely inside, and them two being whisked away; with the use of a winch David succeeded in getting them back inside. Only he stepped slightly away when they seemed to both get into a bit of a minor argument. The evacuation from the site was rushed, everyone couldn't get out fast enough. The oncoming storm, which picked up large amounts of both debris and sandy, dusty clouds which blotted out the sky, was coming in fast as the small vehicle they had travelled in couldn't seem to go fast enough to escape its path.

Eventually the parked Prometheus grew closer, everyone wasted very little time in getting out and running towards the now open doorway. By this point the clouds had come, raining down small pieces of stone and making visibility very hard. Elizabeth had tripped and caught herself just in time to see the bag which housed the head go tumbling away; caught up in the high-powered wind which had now appeared.

Naturally upon seeing his other half go tumbling and getting caught up in the storm too, Charlie had charged forwards. He hadn't ended up much better than Elizabeth. But together they managed to hunker down and shield themselves against one of the thick metal legs, which was taking as much of a battering as pieces chipped against it. But it did provide temporary cover, as Elizabeth clutched the bag to her chest, having managed to scramble and reclaim it, and Charlie leaning close by as to try and shield her some more from the storm, which didn't seem like it was going to let up at all.

Considering they were stuck, and if left out there they were likely to get seriously hurt, or get killed by getting swept away; David had grasped onto the nearby winch, wrapped it around himself and gone out. The high-powered wind hit against him and in the end, he leaped from foot to foot, covering a small amount of distance using the wind to push him closer to the pair. He managed to get them all looped in too, and with a quick smile and nod he managed to get them all back to the ship.

Making sure they got in first he shut the door and then stepped away as the pair commenced having a little dispute. Even if Elizabeth did send a small thank you his way, David still didn't exactly want to be near the squabbling pair. Seeing as how the two doctors were okay, everyone diverted and moved off. Standing around in the brightly lit area for departure wasn't exactly how anyone wanted to spend the rest of their day. Of course, Meredith did appear and look them over as they passed her to really make sure that none of them were seriously hurt, or rather to clarify that they were here and that Elizabeth was still in possession of the head.

Not much conversation was shared at this point, everyone being rather lost in their own thoughts. What was there to really say? Alma found herself walking into the bridge of the ship, she eyed up the holographic map which had been projected up. She skirted around the table and looked out, the storm was really picking up out there it seemed.

Tilting her head, she looked over two screens, seeing 'Fifield' and 'Millburn' in the corner of each screen, she figured these were the camera feeds from their suits. Looking up slowly when she realised someone suddenly stood by her side, she raised an eyebrow. "I get the feeling they're lost."

"Hm, are you sure about that, Captain?" Alma hadn't really exchanged words with the Captain of the ship yet. She hadn't really got a reason to. In all honesty, she wasn't really aware to him even being present.

Janek smirked and stuck his hands in his pockets before moving over and pushing a chair out to sit down. "Better send a message to them." He said, not sounding all too serious on the matter. Some part of this was amusing him. Alma looked over her shoulder at the sounds of footsteps, other members of the crew appeared and pottered around minding their own business. Alma crossed her arms and leaned on the back of Janek's chair. She reached up and pushed a strand of hair over her ear. "Boys, this is the Captain. Listen up. Between the static electricity and the wind speed, well, there ain't no safe way to come get you." Janek said, which was true, the read outs which were to the side of him were crazy, and off the charts. Going to get them could result in the ship going down, and taking everyone with it.
