The biologist was grateful when Anika put a hand around her waist even as she place one around the other. Together, they were able to walk a lot further than either one could have probably done alone. Teamwork was the key words here. Nicole knew that now. Not like she didn't know before but having to experience it brought it forefront to her mind.<br/><br/>Nicole winced as Anika talked. It wasn't that the other's voice was grating. It just happened to be a time when Tina hit on a wound of hers. Moving out of antiseptic range, she watched as the doctor bounced between one patient to another. Never really focusing on one person since there were so many of them with wounds. Not to mention she was fighting her own wounds too. The biologist could only think how tough that must be. Dragging herself back up, she started to drag the debris, looking for anything useful. Finding a couple of long, metal piping, she dragged them back to the little makeshift group. She had no idea what they could be used for, but she figured walking canes could be a good start. Or if they bent them just right, maybe splints or even a sort of make shift roof. Whatever would work.<br/><br/>Tapping, Anika on the shoulder, she wrote a note in the soot and ash covered ground since the other couldn't hear. "Think u can help find somthin 4 shelte? Cant leave him in sun." She pointed toward Derek and hoped that her shorthand writing was readable to the other.
