''Don't you just love scenarios that force you to think? -GL'' -- Now that everyone had already arrived, Carmine rubbed his hands.

''Good. Now we can stop twiddling our thumbs and actually get to do something.''

Of course, Agent Pekoe had prepared a supply of gas masks, just in case. Carmine was already prepared with his gear, but a second mask probably wouldn't hurt.

With the map that Pekoe shown the crew, and the proposal that Oliver brought up, a two-way buddy system, Carmine had to think. Being the senior leader of Team CADM, and a Beacon Academy Junior Upperclassman in his third year, he definitely acquired experience over Oliver.

His buddy system involved two-man teams, one to cover Hazard 1 and the other to cover Hazards 2 and 3. Of course, it saved time and covered more ground, but there was always the potential for a cave-in - or worse.

Then again, cave-ins were always inevitable, given how this type of mission involved investigating possible structural breaches.

''Think man, think! What's the best, most efficient way to do this mission!? There has to be a gap in Ollie's plan, something even he couldn't figure out!''

It took some time before he found the answer.

''The gate, and the entrances are the key! That's it!''

"With all due respect, Pekoe, and Ollie ... I've got a slightly better plan."

All eyes were on him now as the three faces glanced towards his direction, even if not all of them were capable of sight.

"If we start off at the one-way drop, we can then go in as a group to Hazard 1. It's the quickest way to finish that off first. Then we'll keep sticking together as we head down through the water to the gates ... got any keys?"

As he was met with silence from the group, he quickly noted it and continued his proposal.

"... Right. So, if we have the keys, we can start splitting up, so that one team inspects Hazard 2, and one team inspects Hazard 3. Better communication between the two teams, assuming there's low reception down there. I wouldn't blame ya, these things are like hundreds of years old, amirite?"

Again came the awkward silence.

"... Okay then. If we don't, we can keep sticking as a group and head back to floor 1 in the chapel, rest up in the storage room, maybe call for backup in case of an emergency, before we go back to the one way drop entrance near Hazard 1, and just turn right all the way directly to Hazard 2."

But still, the silence ensued. The team was not only pondering the proposal, and from their faces, he could tell that they needed an answer on the viability of his plan.

"Yes, I know that it's a little bit time consuming, and yes, there's a chance that all four of us will have a cave in at Hazard 1. But, it's a foolproof way of actually maintaining communications if we can't make a call, and there's a chance for another exit to make it out safely, no matter which area the cave-in happens."

The three concurred before Carmine continued.

"But that's all I have to say. What about you, Ixie? What exactly do you have to bring to the table ... erm, altar?"

As the girl prepared her ideas, he noted that she was blind.

''Eh, I'm probably not too concerned with her being blind and all. She can probably take care of herself, considering the fact that she signed up for this gig despite being blind. If not ... oh well.''
