Butterbeans and the timetable
They didn’t have long. If they secured the intel Special agent Thomas would be surprised. The trip had already started badly. The lift had collapsed as the team descended. Fortunately they lost no team members. Additionally there were only scrapes and bruises.
With this in mind, the mission was proceeding. Albeit slowly. Furthermore, now they were getting reports that the team had reached level 113. Or the end of level 113. This did not surprise special agent Thomas. This team wants to be successful.
Furthermore, there had been a great deal more to the underground structure. Additionally there had been activity near the underground facility. Therefore, it was becoming clearer by the minute what kind of activity this had been all along.
Butterbeans and the Timetable
Alex is unbelieving at how far down the canyon wall Butterbeans has traveled. Furthermore, the path is narrow and only one of her size can navigate it. He lets his eyes wander along the sheer rock faces of the chasm walls. Butterbeans has chosen her path carefully. They would not be able to follow easily.
As the Sergeant joins him at the edge of the tattered level 113 he whistles in appreciation. They stand several hundred feet up from the unlikely valley’s floor. Likewise as the Lieutenant joins them, she is quick to assess their next move.
“Sergeant, ready the climbing gear. Let’s be in harness and moving downward in five!”
There is a chorus of affirmations as everyone begins preparing for the climb down the cliff walls. Alex is first to be in a position to repel downward and he begins his journey quickly. He is eager to get to his friend. He knows Butterbeans has a reason for her actions. Alex just hopes he can get there in time.
The timetable
She is almost to the bottom of the cliff now. She feels eager to get going. Furthermore, she knows Alex has finally reached the landing above. Butterbeans feels excited now. They are all here.
Alex will arrive soon. Therefore she is hurrying now. She wants to be sure they are able to see it when they get here. Her instincts tell her, this will be a monumental discovery. They are also warning her of something more however she is unable to place it at the moment. She reaches the end of the path down, and takes off through the underbrush.
