[She starts as Mister Big Damn Hero rushes over (never mind that she's quietly relieved to see him, a guy who knows how to take charge), but her explanation swiftly falls away as some other dude stumbles over to them. Again there's the sickening squelch as Other Dude's arm sinks into the pulsating globule, and he's quick on the mark, yanking away at the veiny-viney growths until the webbing sags a second time. Gideon follows suit, bracing herself as the ground quakes beneath them and yanks at a fleshy stem until the webbing gapes wider still-- almost enough space for another person to squeeze through.]
