RP: Moving out
Who: Everyone
Where: The island
When: Sundown, Sunday, February 10, 2013
Summary: They get ready to leave the island

The day had been spent packing up what they could. They would have to make other trips here. The plane and the supercomputer were their most important assets that could not be taken, but they also had limited space.

Leon was not going to be caught unprepared, though. They had resources that they could take with them. The first was the gas tanker. He also planned for two of the trucks and two jeeps from the island. With the new people and the one van missing, they would be needing the extra vehicles anyway.

The biggest problem was moving them. They couldn't be taken on the boats, which meant Callen had to teleport all five vehicles and after that, he was unavailable for everything else. He had Reese and Nell on the tanker, Renko and Donovan on a truck and Riggins and Alexis on the other. The vans had respectively Deeks and his family; Sean, Bolton, Bud, Elaine and Margaret; Marks, Thomas Hammond, Callen and his two kids; Doug Hammond, Isles, Vail and his son. One jeep was occupied by Brian, John and himself, while the other had Queen, Merlyn, Cooper and Green.

The boat trip went longer than usual, because they had to be careful, and then they still had a six hour trip. By the time they got to the safehouse, it was time to rest. No one was allowed anywhere, not knowing where the traps were. Tomorrow they could deal with all of that. Tonight, they could settled down and get some deserved rest.

"Yeah, I know. It would be so much easier with someone to blame, but there isn't besides the stupid scientists who started this mess to begin with," Claudia said. She managed to get a hold of her self, sort of. "We were going to watch a Flinstone's marathon today, you know? Something simple and fun, and now fun's been taken off the table again. This dimension really sucks."

"The one we're going to will suck more," Mike said, more a statement of fact than anything else. Anyone not realising that at this time, needed to face reality. He also wouldn't offer platitudes that they'd one day find their way home, that everything would be okay, mostly because he didn't believe it.

There was also the part of him who wasn't sure if he wanted to go home again or not. It wasn't as if they were able to return to their families, and home he'd most likely lose the family he'd gained here. They might be good at pretending everything was fine, but he and Robert both knew that this wouldn't last if they ever returned. It wasn't even that they didn't love each other, he was sure Robert did even if neither said it to the other, but it was one thing ignoring things here. Back home, if they ever got to return, things would be vastly different.

He glanced over at Donovan for a moment, then back at the road. "Blame doesn't really help," he said, knowing how much Robert would disagree with that. "Bottom line, losing a friend sucks in any dimension. Not much you can do about it."

"I pretty much got that from the type of training we're doing and Derek saying so, which is why it's so important to have fun and play video games and watch movies and do as much irreverent things as possible before they disappear."

Claudia was actually glad they had to move, because once surfing would've been permitted again, she'd have been a ball of bawling at the water's edge on the island. Losing Eric wasn't nearly the same as losing Steve had been, in the friend category, but it still hurt a lot and she really didn't have anyone to blame because it was a freak accident.

"I've lost a lot of family and friends, and no, it doesn't get any easier to deal with and sucks beyond all sucking. I know I'll keep on keeping on, because it's not my first time at this rodeo. I'm just going to be an off and on blubbery mess for a couple weeks."

"They're not irrelevant," Mike answered. "Just like Savannah's parties aren't. They reduce stress hormones, create other hormones. I'm sure Dr. Isles could explain the effects on the body in detail and how it relates to your health." He just knew that he could smell the difference between someone who was stressed out and someone who wasn't.

He just nodded as she continued, as there was nothing more to say. They all dealt with things in their own way. "As long as you keep your head on when needed, people will understand that."
