So you're lost then right? Have you tried just taking left turns? Or is it right turns...that's supposed to be a trick for getting out of a maze...I think.
[Oh, hey armored Freelancer guy. Chris recognizes you from before.]
How lost are you? And do you need any help getting out of the tunnels?

Okay, do they go up or down?
[Yes, this does make a difference.]
[Yes, this does make a difference.]
...we would come fetch thee straight, but we hath not entered the tunnels before. Blind teleportation is a foal's endeavor. [Especially to an underground location. Luna's got enough Pegasus in her that she isn't overly fond of being trapped beneath the earth.]
But we may come seek thee nonetheless?

[Wash had contacted everyone who'd replied to North's post and had them meet him at the entrance to the tunnels. Honestly, he wasn't sure if this was hilarious or just embarrassing.]
When the tunnels start splitting, we'll split off in pairs. Keep track of which turns you make - draw a map, write them down, I don't care what you do, just remember them. I don't want to have to get another party together because someone else got lost. Got it?

[This would be so much easier if she could picture things in her mind more easily.]
Ummm...Were they a lot of stairs leading down away from the main part of the tunnels?
[Really, she's trying to help, and if she were there she'd have no trouble leading him out.]
Maybe I should just come find you...

[Xion is ready to go find her bro.]
Got it.
[Her drawing skills are nil and her writing skills are only just starting to improve, but her feet always seem to remember a path they've walked. With a good partners, she'll be fine.]
I guess we can use the communicators to let everyone else know if we find him?

Huh.
Maybe I was wrong about that. So you haven't found any exits? Do you have anything to mark the walls with? That way you don't take the same turn twice.

[Ienzo sighs and rubs the side of his face; his ability always takes some explaining.]
I might be able to sense him; I can tell generally where people I know are from a distance, but in this instance it isn't quite as helpful, given the way the tunnels run.

I'm sorry, I'm not helping much am I?
[Xion looks fairly sheepish herself. Really, for someone with recon training she's horrible at directions.]
I'll talk to him, then.
[No need to possibly interfere with plans underway.]

[Luna cocks her head to listen, horn glowing.]
We cannot sense Agent North from afar, but if he is located, we can teleport back to the surface with whomever is accompanying us.

[Chris had arrived fairly unannounced, and was secretly glad that he did recognize Luna, Ienzo and Wash. He doubted he would need his Advent Deck, but better safe than sorry.]
I can write it down, don't worry about that. Any information what else could be in the tunnels?

We can all keep in touch; obviously the communicators work underground. I can see if D can port the turns we take into the communicator; that way we can shoot over our location to the other groups once we're done.
