If we should listen to the locals, shouldn't they be up front? [ Hunk whines out the end of the question, and it's abundantly clear that he's not used to running vanguard on something like this. But then that whine roughens itself into a groan, and he starts swimming forward despite all the hesitation. He did volunteer, after all. ]

Y'know, if there were monsters down here, they'd tell us... right? [ Here and there, he'll stop to poke the glowing algae on the walls- it's pretty! Plus it gives the slower swimmers time to catch up as he enters the larger chamber. ] I mean, they gotta know what's down here. Pharce knew where to bring all the groups. So it's gotta be safe.

[ Hunk's saying this more for himself than anyone else, but he's pulled out his gunblade to fight the wall of algae if it comes down to it. ] Totally safe. [ And then he looks back towards the rest of the group, forcing an uneasy smile. ]
