What the hell was Raven thinking? He didn't want to leave her behind. Her plan sucked. He knew, even as he slipped out and made a run for it that it was going to come back to bite him in the ass. He had to go, he knew that. The plan had a chance of working, there was no chance at all if he insisted on staying. He couldn't protect her, even if he stayed, so he took off, scrambling in the darkness and away from the light like the cockroach that he was.
The collar weighed heavy on his neck. Shaw had said there wasn't time to take it off, that he'd remove it later. Murphy wasn't thrilled, but the look Raven gave him had him scurrying out the door, collar and all. No time to waste, or whatever. Because running off into parts unknown with a live shock collar around his neck was just such a great idea. As long as he was within range, McCreary could activate the collar and send him into convulsions. Yeah. Best not to think about that. He took off over the unfamiliar terrain, sliding, falling, scrambling back to his feet in the darkness, putting one foot in front of the other and just...propelling himself forward.
And then suddenly there was light and he was raising a hand to shield his eyes from the harsh glare of the sun. He froze where he was, eyes slowly adjusting to the sudden shift from night in the forest to daytime in an unfamiliar place. It looked like a picture of ideallic life like what they were shown in their earth history classes on the Ark. His thoughts were a jumbled mess, the prevailing thought being that he must have taken a hell of a hit from the shock collar, and now his brain was creating a whole new world for him to hide out in, because what he was seeing before him was not possible.
