<em>Carver, in the dining room, with the rest</em><br/><br/>When Brook made her response toward what she thought was a focus of his on sex, Carver frowned slightly and was about to correct her when Jenna took up the job.  He listened to her response and found himself nodding.  She had said enough of what was going on in his own head, so much so as to be a little disconcerting.  At least he now knew that he wasn't alone in his concerns about the situation and what it could develop into.<br/><br/>Brett's words made Carver smile slightly wryly as well.  He nodded at the man's assessment of the possible outcomes.  There was no way to be sure which way it would go.  He did have some faith though.  He figured that, unless the researchers had been lying to them from the get go, that they, the researchers that is, had done all they could to set up a situation where the secondary goal would have the best chance of success.  This, of course, assumed the first goal was carried out.<br/><br/>And to that end...<br/><br/>Carver nodded at Brett's words.  "Aye, that sounds like a good idea.  But, save the bottle, I guess.  This isn't the only night we'll be here and who knows...might be a good icebreaker if we need it."<br/><br/>He chuckled and stood.<br/><br/>"Ladies, Brett, thank you for the lovely evening and conversation.  However, dawn is going to be coming soon and then sooner and sooner.  I'm gonna take one last look around the perimeter and then come back in and examine those motion sensors they left for us before I turn in.  I'll set them up tomorrow and hook them in...assuming we have the power, that is?"<br/><br/>The last line was directed at Brett.  As Brett was the lead on the electrical concerns, Carver knew that ultimately he had to defer to Brett on what they could use and when.<br/><br/>"If not, I can rig up something low-tech."<br/><br/>He moved over to the gun case and tapped in the keyword.  It clicked open.  He removed one of the rifles.  He loaded it and then slung it on his shoulder, muzzle down.  He glanced toward Brett.<br/><br/>"Want to join me?  That way we let them have some private time?"<br/><br/>He then gave a slightly amused smile.<br/><br/>"Or would you rather stay inside with the two lovely ladies?"
