Joaquin's incredible display of biological knowledge caught some attention from both Cole and Kelly, whose only responses were a prolonged, furrow-browed stare that lasted a few seconds, at least until Joaquin turned away. At that point, they both got back to 'work,' Cole fiddling with his camera while Kelly gave the tortoise a pat on the back. Keeping a focus on the equipment, Cole gave directions.<br/><br/>"Okay, so if we can get one of the lizards out there, this should look great. Real natural. Maybe under that bush," He pointed to clarify which one he was talking about, a somewhat dry-looking line of shrubbery that looked like it had been recently gnawed on by something. It was close to where the turtles were meant to be resting, but not so much that they were all bundled together in one place. It would certainly add to the shot, which would otherwise just be some dead-ass plants at the side of the road.<br/><br/>Plans were cut somewhat short, as Cole's camera started to act very disagreeable. "Ugh, come on," He grumbled to himself, trying to adjust the settings. Every time the camera passed over the outcropping at the back of the clearing, distortion affected it. Screen tearing and some slight static continuously affected the picture on the camera's window, and after some more fiddling, he decided there must have been something in the area messing with the camera itself. Maybe something magnetic? He didn't know.<br/><br/>"Something wrong?" Kelly asked, leaning over Cole's shoulder to get a look at the screen. "Ooh, damn. That's not good. Tape messed up?" She didn't know the first thing about cameras, but it was obvious something was wrong.<br/><br/>"No, no, somethin' else. Look," Cole answered, moving the focus of the camera away from the outcropping. The picture cleared up, but was no good for filming purposes. The lighting and focus were gone. But as soon as he put it back over the initial filming spot, the distortion returned. "There's gotta be something in those rocks."<br/><br/>Kelly nodded slowly, still unsure exactly what a pile of rocks could do to mess up a camera. It was obvious that<span style="font-style: italic">something</span>was causing problems, so she decided to check it out. Standing back up, she walked around the tortoises and headed over to the pile of rocks, looking them over with curious focus. Eventually, she found a hole between a pair of stones, and leaned in to peer through. It was very dark inside, and the size of the rocks made her wonder if there was a cave hidden behind the pile of smaller stones.<br/><br/>Her suspicions were confirmed when she tried to adjust her footing, knocking a stone near the bottom of the pile loose. It caused a chain reaction of small rocks falling in a wave towards her, which she tried to avoid by walking back. She succeeded in falling over and landing on her back in the sand while the cave's mouth was reopened. For a few moments, she had no reaction, but a drawn-out curse soon came and displayed quite a bit of annoyance.
