[As soon as Laura's hand finds hers, Gideon is grasping it tightly. The arm not grasping and pulling she uses to try forcing the tear wider from the opposite side, to give Laura more of the space she needs to escape their grotesque prison. There's a good deal of shoving and grunting, but at last both women are out of the pod and standing on the other side.
Laura's arms are around Gideon before she has a chance to speak, and there's a brief stunned moment when she does nothing at all, stands there still and hard as a statue. But then she's hugging her back, lifting her off the ground in a moment of bright, giddy gladness and with a sound of frantic joy because hell yes they fucking did it, they're out, they're not going to be consumed by some weird as hell growth-thing today--
--but then Laura asks her question, and it's a good one. Gideon sets the other woman down before finally stopping to take in their surroundings. They're nowhere Gideon recognises - somewhere dark, and dank, and strange - and they appear to be standing on some kind of rough, stone outcrop. Just a short distance away from them, there's an edge. Gideon takes a few tentative steps toward it, only to encounter a nauseatingly steep drop off, the ground below them nowhere in sight.]
No idea, but it looks like we're not done yet. I think we're gonna have to climb. Fuck my life.
