Dave POV -
If Daisy were not otherwise engaged this would have been dealt with by now, as it is, I am glad that I was one of the 2 people to get stuck down here. Once Maria had moved across the gap to sit with me while we waited, we had talked a little, which was my failed attempt at distracting her. I had mind-linked a few of the guys that I knew were close by, but I didn't want to ignore Maria for too long, so I gave them an idea of what needed to be done to get us out of here. I could sense Maria's fear, this went deeper than I could understand, for Maria, this was a true horror, bordering on phobia based on her reaction..
