A lot was happening at once. Everyone scrambling to make sense of the aftermath. As Ray was lifting Hughes out, Astra came to. The girl was shaken. Her following question caused Susan's eyebrow to rise. There were many things happening at that moment she could've been referring to. Too many things.
"It's all a bit fuzzy still. I saw... a lot and then nothing."
Astra's expression didn't tell her much, but there was something there that told Susan her words weren't conveying the right images. Something else happened. Sue's mental diary was now filled to the brim. So much so that she couldn't even gauge what Astra could've seen. A combination of stress and adrenaline, no doubt.
"What did you see?"
Her question left lingering for the moment, Susan turned to Ray who was just about to take off. His nod was met with one of her own. Another person she owed. They would've likely been all dead by now if he hadn't showed up.
As he took his leave, Susan gradually made her way out of the vehicle again, grabbing Astra's hand and gently pulling her with, hoping she would agree with this gentle command. The rest of the team was still on the shore, slowly waking, taking in their surroundings. They had to leave as soon as possible. Herman's condition was partly her fault. She wasn't going to let him die on her watch.
