RP: Crossing over
Who: Everyone
Where: Omega, Dinoland
When: Wednesday, June 5, 2013
Summary: They are forced to cross over as Omega crumples around them

The dimensional rifts had been increased in number with alarming frequency . He knew that the deadline was growing closer even though they hadn't dealt with all of the issues concerning the machine. Battery life was still a problem and so was calibrating the dimension. He knew how to reach where Callen and the rest were, but after that, it would be a problem. They didn't seem to have a choice.

They had run out of time.

They were in the middle of their morning run, when Leon felt it. Hundreds, thousands of dimensional shifts opening all across the planet, leading to so many places at once, assaulting his mind like a tank running over wood barracks.

"John." He called out, or maybe screamed the name. Nothing was making sense anymore. "Get the machine ready. We're leaving now. Everyone, fifteen minutes and we ship out. Leave nothing behind." There was no time to talk or explain. People needed to be in their assigned cars and trucks, hopefully with everything they needed. He doubted that anything left here would matter anyway. He couldn't imagine this lasting much longer.

Brian had been driving the car since John was dealing with the machine, Vance looked like he'd spent the night partying and the damn dog couldn't drive. It was completely inhumane that he was forced to do this so early in the morning, and yet off they went into a new adventure. He could almost hear the voice-over in Savannah's voice in his head.

He thought it sucked.

But they made it through and John was in the car with the machine and in one piece. "Oh look, giant plants. Maybe we can find giant weed," he joked, but there were no comments from either one. He knew John wouldn't, still too busy doing whatever, but he expected some answer from Vance.

Brian looked over. "Sir?" He touched the other man gently and Vance slumped. "Jesus Fucking Christ... is he... is he dead?" Okay for as long as they'd been here, Brian had planned funerals, talked about dying, but he'd never really seen a body. He'd made sure to stay away from them when they happened close enough to where he might see them. "Jesus Christ," he repeated in a murmur. "We have a body in the fucking car." And asking John to get rid of it probably was not the proper response from a grown man. It was still fucking tempting.

He changed the frequency and called Deeks privately. "Whatever idea they have, it's all yours to decide. Vance is dead." He went back to the general frequency.

Jesus fucking Christ.

There was a body in his car.

John was stabilizing the machine, making sure it was secure for transport after they'd hurried through, when he heard Brian speak. And then his entire focus was on Vance, leaning around from the back to check his pulse. Death confirmed, John let his hand rest on Vance's chest as he closed his eyes for a brief moment. God hadn't ever been part of his education, but John kind of hoped there was someplace out there where his friend and mentor could have peace.

Unfortunately, they didn't have time to mourn either Vance or Sheldon just then.

Taking a deep breath, John pushed his feelings aside and reached for his own walkie. "It's a rainforest, or close enough to one," he put out, answering Dom. This John knew well. "Give it a few hours and it'll probably live up to it's name. Good for us. We'll have plenty of drinking water once we rig up ways to catch and store it. My advice is we find somewhere to set up camp, first. Organize scouting parties second. We don't know where our people are or how long it will take to find them. We need a secure location to work from rather than traveling around like an all you can eat buffet without getting any sort of lay of the land. Over."

Switching channels as well, he hailed Deeks. "We need to deal with Vance's body and discuss the machine, too."

Robert was in the car with Tamira and Weston, which was good when he had to keep an eye on a kid that teleported and one that changed size, while driving because he was that anal, but at least Weston proved useful.

"G Man here says that there aren't any carnivors that would be in large groups, mostly one to five. He can't find anything exactly like that, but it looks like a baby something or other. The mother wouldn't get too far into this type of forest, which means there has to be some hill not too far," he said. "Before we move, we need to know where we're going. we need some areal view. How vicious are birds here and would John be able to fly without being eaten?"

Dom snorted over the frequency. "Birds are really vicious and really fast, at least the big ones. Also, whatever we know it's not going to translate with the same details. These animals have had over a hundred million years to change. We can guess when we have no choice, but let's not do it with John's life without looking at alternatives."

Alexis thought about it for a moment. "John, could you fly with me? I can make us both invisible, and birds don't follow body heat, so we should be okay. Unless someone has a better idea."

Robert jumped in again. "No matter what the final solution, let me know and I'll move people from car to car. The less noise we make, the better it seems."

John just chuckled over the air. "I was going to suggest that, but figured I'd get an argument like Dom's. The Birds is one movie I've actually seen. But, with Alexis covering both of us, it should be fine." And dinosaurs still weren't as bad as the machines in a lot of ways. "At least during the day. Some of these suckers had primitive echolocation abilities. So, night flights are what will be risky, even with Alexis' help. Alexis, bring your pack, just in case we have to make an emergency landing. I can carry you and it without a problem. My pack has tools we need for maintaining the machine, so I'll leave it here. Over."

"Since we need some sort of recon, go with that plan," Marty's voice came over the speaker. "Robert, can you take both Alexis and I over to the Director's car? Everyone else stay put and don't get out of the cars."

"Probably best to keep the walkies on the lowest volume setting that still lets you hear, too," John added. "As Dom pointed out, evolution's had it's way with these guys and we're not the top of the food chain any longer. But, we can also extrapolate some basic information. That small sounds carry in terrain like this is one of them. And there are smaller predators out there who won't have to worry about Mama being too big. So, too much noise is going to be a problem. Radio silence as much as possible is a good idea. Over."
