[ He's not quite at the surface when he catches a faint strand of... what sounds like Collette's voice? The voice in his head, that is, which means she's in a morph. He shifts until he believes he's gotten it more clearly, and shortly he's pressed against a wall and can go no further. But she's clear, so she must be close, right?
He tries a few experimental shouts, but there's no change in her broadcasting. She must not be near enough to actually hear him, then.
Well... then, nothing to do but start digging, right? Man, he hopes this is the right place. With a sense of grim desperation setting in, he gets to work.
The weight of the rocks is no real problem, and he's extra thankful quite suddenly for the enhanced endurance. But even with all that, he's soon taken off and set aside his mask to apply himself properly, and half his body has gained an unpleasant sheen of sweat under the clothing. The work isn't going quickly, but every now and then he pauses to try calling out to her again. ]
Collette! Can you hear me? I'll have you out shortly, I promise!
