The other soldiers are left dumbfounded in front of the closed entrance, instead heading to the box to check whether Clara has left any food for them.
Soldier 4: "The boss is gonna be pissed, but meh..."
Soldier 3: "He'll be pised anyway, so we might aswell have a break here until something happens."
Soldier 5: "Yeah, you're probably right. besides, I wouldn't want to be in there now, this place looks terrible even from the outside. Just gotta make sure to be gone whenever those two reach the surface again..."
One of the soldiers searches the equipment in the crate for a while before finally taking hold of a rather complex particle scanner, using it to check the air before taking of their helmets.
Soldier 3: "Can't be sure what's in the air of this godforsaken planet..."
(No, but the helmets do. Sort of.)
Josh takes some seconds to process what just happened, besides the night vision mode instantly brightening the picture on his visor. He first wipes the slime off his own armor before kicking a berserking Clara against the wall and doing the same with hers. As the transmission gets through, he actually has to think for some seconds until realising its meaning, checking and activating his transmitter while Clara aims down the tunnel with her rifle.
Josh: "Gosh, what the bloody heck is wrong with you? It's only some mutated dirt, nothing justifying you trying to take apart an entire dreadnought on your own."
Clara: "Get me out of here now or I will take you and this monster cave apart."
Josh: "Okay, okay. Already on it..."
//Transmission start//
"Well, I'd really appreciate you getting us out of here, but give us two minutes to get clear before blowing the former entrance to pieces, will you? Our suits can take a hit or two, but judging by what just happened, you will likely need some heavy shit to get through it."
//Transmission end//
Josh: "You heard it. Get clear and they will open the entrance for us. I guess the next corner should be enough distance, so don't even start panicking now."
Clara: "I hate you for even getting me in here, but I may let you live if you at least get me out of here quickly."
The two get moving, Clara continuously aiming her rifle at the area ahead while Josh merely rests his right hand on the high-caliber pistol in the holster on his thigh, the other one ready to snatch the knive attached to the back of is waist.
Not wanting to waste his time waiting, Henry orders the former crew of the shuttle to stay onboard and has someone else take charge of the Event Horizon before entering the shuttle together with his elite units, placing himself in the pilot seat and getting them to the other two shuttles as fast as possible.
Meanwhile, the old man himself is having the second shuttle wait while his own races towards another cave enrance, making a simultaneous full stop and half turn directly in front of it and catapulting all 16 passengers into the open gap. The shuttle heads off to the secondary one instantly while the units ready to delve deeper inside the cave.
Besides wearing exosuits looking almost identical to those of the NAP, Oldie and his companions carry modified Needlegun/Railgun hybrids as main weaponry complemented with energy based pistols considerably resembling the plasma cutters and double edged daggers with holes in the center and some sort of button on the handle.
