Slowly, Henry Pratt returned to the land of the living. Quickly, he wished he hadn't.< Tag Kata Harris, Billie Jean Witwer, Lily Tuck, Koren Telion, Travis "Wizard" Oxford & Ben Callahan >
The archaologist coughed loudly, his lungs choked with fine dust. His ears were ringing, and all around he was surrounded by darkness. At some point he became aware that he was laying stomach down, and while he could use his arms to prop himself up, his left ankle was trapped.
There must have been a rockfall. His last memory was talking to the rebels in their hidden compound, located - unfortunately it turned out - in an abandoned Naquadah mine. With an Asura vessel closing in on them, the team had feared the worst. And evidently, the worst had materialised. While the weapons barrage from the enemy cruiser hadn't ignited the Naquadah, possibly because the mine had dried up, it had brought down the roof on them.
Groping around, the archaeologist found his fallen backpack next to him and fished out a flashlight. The lens had cracked badly, but thankfully the device still worked. Turning it on, he looked around to survey the damage.
A thick cloud of dust was hanging in the air, making it difficult to see. All around, Henry could see fallen rocks and collapsed walls of the mine that he been standing a few moment ago. He could make out the outlines of bodies nearby, and as the dust slowly settled, he became aware that many of those he saw were deceased. Those that were remaining weren't in much better shape.
Worryingly, Pratt couldn't see his team nearby. "Major Harris, Lieutenant Witwer, Doctor Tucker, can you hear me?"
