"We need to move."
Adrian's voice pulled my attention away from the equipment.
Water washed over another step, forcing Marcus to adjust the barrier in front of him. His light pointed towards the passage, but there wasn't much to see beyond the first turn.
"Crow. Stay here and watch the equipment."
I looked towards Adrian.
"Keep the spare breathing sets ready. Move the cases higher if the water reaches them."
"Alright."
I shrugged and stepped towards the equipment.
He was already turning away.
I guess I was going to be left behind.
"Vera, lead us through. Marcus, stay behind Tessa."
The scout picked up an extra bag and secured it to his harness. After checking the line one last time, he followed Vera down the steps.
Her light slipped beneath the surface.
Then Tessa's.
Marcus lowered his barrier as Adrian placed his hand against the wall again. The water settled just long enough for them to enter without being pushed back against the steps.
