"H'lo." Dawn studied the young man who'd joined her and the others in this chamber. "You're one of the geek squad, aren't you?" She'd seen him in the communications center and other such places, but had never spoken to him before.

"Yes, I'm one of the geeks. Kinda freaky to end up here not knowing anyone and having no way to even know how wide that mess has spread.", Martin said in his Canadian-French accent. "Still getting no radio... I guess that's hopeless..."
/* I go to bed. You can puppet if the conversation has to be continued. */

Delfina had gone back to rejoin Aron, both quietly watching as Dawn and Martin conversed. Neither of them wanted to interrupt anything.
Shadow was acting like Dawn's guardian and staring up at Martin.
(((((OOC: Elizar, hope it's okay with you if I just had Aron act as a silent observer because I had no clue how he would react to Dawn and Martin. And I'll try to create more human characters tomorrow if I can. Anyway, I'm very tired and must go to bed now. I'll be back tomorrow afternoon. Goodnight, everybody.)))))

((OOC: It's okay, I adopted it as an insecurity around kids, though he would love to chat with Martin.)) "I guess I will not be able to keep the Rover secret for long." Aron said low to Delfina. Shadow started to look around, his ears swiveling as he was picking up some strange sound. Few seconds after Aron and Delfina noticed, they heard it to. Rythmic low pitched sound, each high of it lasting around a second and half, and in between was a second of low rumbling. "Is the Doctor paying us a visit?" Aron said. He knew that most likely no one around it would get the joke, but he had not heard the sound at all during his time in the cave. ((Yes, Doctor Who reference, and in my mind all I could think of was the rematerialization sound of the TARDIS (wma format, sorry) when Momma started to charge the artifact. Sorry, I wont do it again.))

(((((OOC: I loved Dr. Who. I used to watch it when I was growing up and it was so fascinating. Now there's a new version airing on the Sci-Fi channel, I think, but I can't watch it due to me now not having a television... T_T ...And perhaps there should be a profile template made for the main human characters so we'd know who they are.)))))
The sound was extremely faint that nobody who had gathered near the Range Rover could hear it, except for Shadow, whose hearing was very accute. Delfina watched the husky's ears swivel back and forth as if trying to pinpoint whatever she was hearing.
It was then that Delfina could hear the strange sound now. It was very low. She was very confused as to where it was coming from and hadn't a clue as to why it was making its prescence known in the caverns, which was quite strange. As far as she knew, she's heard no other sound beside the other human survivors talking amongst themselves about what they were going to do now.
"Yes, he does seem to appear in the strangest places," Delfina answered Aron's question about The Doctor. She's watched a few episodes of that old show while she was growing up, but knew that she was never going to see that show again because of the eruption of the caldera in Yellowstone. The world she once knew was no longer there.
(((((OOC: Since there's only a few of us in the RP now, I've been trying to come up with more human characters that could be a part of this RP. Just give some time and I'll probably have some by early evening.)))))

((Okay, his last name is Verant I forgot simply to give him a last name.)) Aron thought about answering, then thought of another thing to do. He closed his eyes and concentrated. True, there was some echo, but he could figure out from what adjoined cavern the sound came from. Shadow might have been able to tell that, but she was unable to speak, or didn't know that her owner may have an interest in the sound. "The problem is that this is not mechanical sound. The sound effect for the Tardis in the show was accomplished with musical instruments. Keys running over piano strings. But I dont reconize this instrument." He said, going over to the ajoined cavern and listened again. "I am going to try to locate this 'Tardis', how about you?"

Having nothing better to do than just stand there, Delfina realized that it would be better just to go with Aron to investigate this musical instrument that she was hearing ever so faintly.
Shadow whined impatiently, wanting to go see what that sound was that she was hearing.
"Yeah, I'm coming," replied Delfina, deciding that they might as well find out the source of that strange music.

((OOC: Aron was reflecting that the sound is clearly not mecanical, but has a purpose to it. And it is just rythmical, like the materialization sound. No 'music' so to speak.))
Going through few of the NO-ADMITTANCE caves, Aron felt himself getting closer. The sound also grew louder. "We are not far now." He said to those following. "Just few more caverns."
((And I head to work, can be up to seven hours there. Puppet. Aron will most likely grow angry when discovering being ported into another dimension. He may even try to strike Momma if he is not calmed down properly.))

Tess had locked the other chambers leading into the room with the vessel, so that she and Joshua would not be interrupted. The surrounding caves, however, were still open, and the rumbling was louder there. Below the vessel chamber, the plinth extended downward, conveying energy from a ley line convergence deep below the mountain. There was already a faint glow emanating from the column.
Dawn didn't want to be left alone, and tagged after the two adults.

Shadow decided to keep Dawn company, so she wouldn't be alone, and trotted beside the girl.
Delfina, in the meantime, was starting to hear what Aron was hearing as the progressed further into the caverns. Her instincts kept telling to look inside some of the chambers that she thought that the sound was coming from. To add to that, she was starting to feel a faint rumble beneath her feet.
"Feel that?" she asked Aron, "A rumble like that isn't natural in these caverns. It's being made by some other influence, such as humans. Curiouser and curiouser."
Aron nodded silently, not wanting to break the spell of what they were hearing and now feeling. It might stop if they keep talking. Now he really wanted to find out where this sound was coming from.

<<< Raine: Read the OOC discussion in the brainstorming session and the intro. Everyone is in a bunker. >>>
Dawn felt the rumble beneath her feet, growing in intensity as she followed the adults deeper into the caverns. Her hand was on the tall husky's neck as her eyes scanned the cave walls and roof overhead. Up til now, the hum had grown gradually, but she wasn't prepared for what came next.
A shockwave, like being caught between two giant clapping hands, reverberated up the tunnel, knocking Dawn off her feet. Bright light flared from the end of the passage, temporarily blinding her. She cried out as she fell on her side, narrowly missing the dog. Just as quickly, it died away, and everything was still again.

Shadow came to Dawn's side, gently licking the girl's cheek to see if she were alright, whining worriedly.
Delfina and Aron had stumbled to the ground as the huge shockwave came right at them. They were temporarily blinded by the bright light as well and didn't move until they got their sight back.
Breathing heavily, Delfina turned to Aron as she lay on the ground, "Are you alright? What was that?"
"I'm fine... I think," Aron shook his head to clear it, "And I have no idea just what the heck that was that knocked us off our feet."
Delfina sat up and shook her own head and looked back at Dawn and Shadow. She crawled over to the girl and the dog.
"Dawn," she gently picked the girl up, "Are you alright?"

"M'OK." Dawn gasped between the husky's licks. She sat up, looking dishevelled and confused. "Did something blow up down there?"

"It felt like it," replied Delfina, "but as far as I can tell the cavern's structure is still sound, so it must be something more than an explosion. Something that had been activated. But what?"
"Let's go find out then," said Aron as he stood up and brushing himself off. He looked none the worse for wear.
Delfina helped Dawn back up on her feet and took her hand, "We stick together, alright? We don't want to lose each other down here."
