I reached towards her.

"You know you won't be able to communicate with anyone through these walls."

She lets the crystals fall discarded at her side. A failed attempt to contact our team. The early collapse of the north wall leaves us trapped under the wreckage and running out of air. I know our team is looking for us. I know they're spending a large amount of our remaining resources looking for their lieutenant and their sargent rather than securing the headway we made on the walls. I looked over at her again. Sargent Lisa Mae Boyd had never looked more terrified.

"Do you think they'll find us?"

"Yeah."

I don't have the heart to tell her the truth. Not now, not like this. Not when I know outside we're so close to winning.
