"You needed to hear anything else?" blinked Keto as they ran.
"Hey, weren't we meant to be storming the castle to rescue Dean,
among other things?" pointed out Phil, hesitating, "We can't just run
away!"
"He's right," nodded Jay, "Somebody needs to risk certain death to
go back in there and save my crash allowance. Keto?"
"Keep thinking, flyboy," growled Keto.
"Hey, I'm the captain here!" snapped Alota, "I say what we're going
to do! We're not just going to stand here and leave crewmembers to
die!"
"Exactly!" agreed Keto, "We're going to run far away and leave
them!"
"Don't think that's what she meant, doc."
"Look, in about thirty seconds this whole area, including the
castle, anyone inside it and anyone who doesn't start running right
now, are going to be a devastated crater. You're saying we should
risk that happening, go inside and drag back Dean?"
"Yes."
"I've got a very bad, very solid feeling about this," murmured
Keats.
