[ Even 2B knows that there's no use for her to retrieve the discarded rag, but it's the principle of the thing, really. 9S had seemed rather invested in it. Why wouldn't she want to keep it for him? It was a strange, sentimental line of thinking, probably, but some small part of her is intrigued by the way he'd zeroed in on certain parts of the magazine. ]
I don't think my level of interest even comes close to yours, [ She shoots back, sauntering past him. The rain rumbles distantly, and the ominous creak of metal above them clues 2B in on what's about to happen even as 9S speaks. Moving quickly, she grabs him about the shoulders and throws the both of them to the ground, just out of the way of a large chunk of concrete that collapses from the floor above them. ]
Gh--!
[ 2B acts purely on instinct when she moves the both of them as the rest of the upper floors come tumbling down, metal bars and old concrete crashing onto the secret stash of porn they'd come across. She shields 9S with her body, pressing him against the far wall as she kneels over him, her hands planted firmly above his head as she seeks a way out.
2B doesn't have to wait long until her Pod speaks again. ]
Analysis: Upper portions of structure are compromised. Inclement weather conditions are likely to blame. Secure escape routes are not guaranteed. [ Her Pod slides around the both of them as the rumbling of the building finally ceases, gathering data. ] Proposal: Units 2B and 9S should remain sheltered until an escape route can be secured and communications with Command can be re-established.
[ Sensing that the building has settled, 2B takes stock of their surroundings from her position above her partner. The sinkhole that had brought them to the basement lay far above the both of them, and the rubble that had fallen had only served to make it larger. While using the wreckage as a platform to escape isn't out of the question, the steady downpour of rain from the hole in the roof would likely make conditions less than ideal.
Shifting away from 9S, 2B stands, pressing her back against the wall as she folds her arms across her chest. She says nothing, making way for the brilliant analysis 9S has likely already formulated. ]
