I don't believe anyone in the assembled groups believes this to be a long rescue mission. If this extends to several hours long, we will of course coordinate runners to send provisions. As for the ground collapsing... That is clearly a risk to be taken when it comes to getting out the foolhardy individuals.

I am sure Cloud is aware of the shift that can take place with Brave Vesperia and the Blue Rogues distracted. If we learned nothing from the barrier experiment, we at least learned that there are many willing to volunteer who do not belong to either group. We have the cooperation of Lute in the clinic for any and all injuries, as well.

I will be maintaining a base of operations, of sorts. I have no skills that will be useful during a rescue mission.
