"So, just slide right in?" G replied neutrally, although his mind was less on keeping up the innuendo now and more on figuring out how they were going to tunnel into solid rock in such a way that they had a decent-sized room that could fit four, if need be and still only had a small entrance. With smaller rocks turned into hatchets."No, I skipped the Boy Scouts," he retorted, speaking to Morgan, but still thinking the problem through.
Emily looked from one man to the others and just shook her head. Boys with their toys, even without the high tech. Use of the car was really the easiest part to arrange. "I think you could have left it at you're a SEAL," she said, chuckling. "But, why don't we save stone masonry and engineering for tomorrow when we can get some of the morning sun into the cave and really look at the stone from which that wall's made up. There's a reason most stoneworking tools I've ever seen are made from metal. Chipping away at it with rocks, even sharpened ones, is going to be time consuming enough without going in blind and maybe having to start over because we accidentally brought it all down on top of us."
"If we bring it down on top of us, we probably won't be in any condition to start over," G pointed out.
"Working our way out from under it will be more time consuming, then." Emily was undaunted. "You understand my point, regardless."
"Which is why we shouldn't wait to start trying to ride them," he riposted before turning back to Sam. "And of course I'm thinking about the small, fast ones. Slow and steady might win the race, but it's not getting me anywhere. But, I could always try the T Rex instead. Now, this is where those vines will come in handy. Got to figure out some way to steer once we're up there."
