Ethan wasn’t trained for field survival. He was a scientist, he practically lived in the lab! Simulations, experiments, research, he could do that! This? This was something completely out of his league! It didn’t help that the guy he was with, Felix seemed just as horrified about what they had just heard. Maybe a small part of him had just been hoping that this guy, an engineer, would have some plan, some idea of what to do, what was going on, but he seemed just as lost as he was. Neither one of them were trained for this.<br/><br/>The scientist jumped a little when he felt the hand on his shoulder. He turned to look up to Felix, wondering what the man was thinking. But when he was informed as to just what he was thinking, Ethan regretted it.<br/><br/>“You’re correct in stating that was not what I wanted to hear.” Ethan answered, trying to laugh a little. “How do we even know there’s shelter out there? All I’ve seen is more water. We could just end up as that thing’s snack without the hassle of tearing through this.” He gestured to the pod.<br/><br/>“What if there’s nothing out there and this is just suicide?” He asked, looking out of the small window at the darkness below. He hated to think about what was down there, especially after hearing those noises, and the idea of going out there was not sitting well with him. But what other option did they have?<br/><br/>“I guess we’ve really only got two options. Wait and die here, or go out there and hope to survive a little longer.”
