"Don't worry, it should only take a few moments! Ah, assuming all goes well, that is." "Right, let's get started." "Just keep on the lookout."
Keep on the lookout? What do they think they are, a gang of ten-year-olds? Anyway, they get to work mulling over the busted generator and arguing in sniffy, sotto tones amongst each other. The light through the narrow shop windows do little to fight against the darkness. They're all so drawn into the task that the familiar squishing steps are ignored... except by Ran. There's an advantage to having large ears.
Back down in pipe world, the tendril dutifully retracts when Rex follows it, replaced by one further down to the side. It's very dark down there, and easy to get lost... plus it smells funny. Kind of a cross between chicken fat and motor oil. Is that pipe grading downward? It is. Down down down--WHOA CRAP IT JUST GAVE WAY AND THE STEEP SLOPE ROLLS REX RIGHT OUT INTO THIN AIR... and onto a concrete floor five feet below.
...in a red-security-lighted steam tunnel. wtf. Well, at least Gordon's waving at him from a nearby vent to urge him along. Obviously he meant for that to happen. Yeah.
