Tarran Smith"Taric, stop it. Get your ass back here!"
Grab Taric and drag him along while trying to use his radio.
You grab Taric by his scruff and haul him along with you, liberating him of his radio and flicking it on. [Luck 3] The channel has static on it, but nothing more. You call into it a couple of times but you get nothing, he isn't picking up or he can't pick up. Being an AI he probably isn't in the shower or getting a bite to eat either.

Taric Sizier"FIRST THINGS FIRST!" Go and complain about the parts.
You yell about the quality of the parts from the bottom of the wall, Tarren grabs you from behind and drags you along with the rest of the group. You moan about Teague being crazy instead while you walk behind Dominique.

Trol Grane"I PITY THE FOO THAT WEARS MY PINK FLUFFY PAJAMAS!!!"
You speak madness for a while [Sanity 3] before the sane voice in your head tells you to shutteth the fuck up.

James EvanI leave with them.
You follow the group generically, [Luck 4] you avoid tripping on stuff, running into people, and making miraculous discoveries. How vanilla.

Dominique Wakeman"We'd better hurry back to the ship while there's light. Taric, do you think that radio's working?" Dom asked, trying to remember what direction they had come from. If we could find the passage Taric burnt, I'm sure from there we can find the melted mite corpse. Unless the ants ate it. If they didn't though, we might be able to get back from there.
You take point, looking for the path that Taric burnt into the plants. [Observation 4] It takes you a couple minutes but you're able to find the end of the trail where the party scattered. Leading the others you set out down the charred path.

AllDominique leads you down the path as it progressively narrows. You take the trail at a more stately pace than when you were last here, it's easier too and you feel as if you'd lost 20-40 pounds each. The air is getting progressively humid, hotter with every passing minute too. The fog that obscured the roof of the canopy has thickened, backlit by glowing fungus it's quite pretty. It bears a striking resemblance to clouds now, as if it put a point on the observation some of the clouds in the distance flare into brighter light and you here something strangely like thunder.
After a bit you reach where the mite's should have been, instead Dom finds the impact crater from where Teague let loose his shockwave. It has unfortunately also destroyed the trail from this point on, you might be able to find it again but it'll be alot more difficult to find. [Luck 1] [Creature type 6] [Group awareness 2] You think something is watching you... Something large.
