Also to clarify I ain't an RT member in disguise so all the stuff is theirs.

Prologue

"Well great! We're stuck here. Thanks Caboose."

"You are welcome!" Caboose had a great big grin on his face that was, amazingly enough, visible beyond his standard issue blue helmet. The grumbling had been coming from Griff who was not at all pleased with his current situation.

"Thanks to you we aren't gonna get out of here. Ever. At all." Griff continued to list off other things meaning "We're never getting out of here." Such as "Eternally trapped" and "Forever stuck" before he ran out. Simmons was unconscious. He'd screamed so much on the way down he'd run out of air. Of course his helmet was resuscitating him but for the time being, Sarge had nobody to order about.

"Private Griff! Get up off your ass and DO SOMETHING!" Griff was, as usual, pretending Sarge didn't exist. It wasn't helping that Sarge was being the most proactive about this. "WE NEED A PICKAXE! Now Griff. Do we have a stick, three stones and a crafting table, because I believe that is the recipe for a pickaxe."

"SARGE WE AREN'T IN MINECRAFT!"

"DO YOU HAVE IT GRIFF. BECAUSE IF YOU DO, THEN I HAVE A WAY OUT. Just for me though. You sad sacks are still gonna be stuck here. Hehehe."

"WHY WOULD I TELL YOU IF I DID!?"

"Because I asked nicely?"

"YOU DON'T GET IT DO YOU?" Griff was audibly crying over the coms. He was to preoccupied to mute himself so it was slightly annoying for everyone involved.

"WE. ARE. STUCK DOWN HERE. WE'LL NEVER GET OUT. WE HAVE NO HOPE."

"What's that about no hope?" It was Carolina. She stood above the hole looking down with mock sympathy. "Now I don't know about no hope, but I do know that we can get you out. In time. Just give us a minute." Griff stopped crying. He looked up at Carolina, who was just blurring into view.

"Welp. I guess we have some time. How should we spend it?"

"Oh I know! I know! Pick me! Pick me!" Griff sighed.

"Okay Caboose. What do you wanna do?"

"Let's do that thing in movies where we cut back to before all the problems began!"

"What you mean like a flashback?"

"Yeah and let's do it to one week ago!"

One Week Earlier
