Ivory stood back, leaning up against the wall of the elevator facing Colin. Her eyes moved from the panel, to the ceiling, to him. She began to answer his question about what her particular skills were (a complicated answer, to be sure), but in an instant, the slow & gentle descent turned terrifying.
There was a loud thump above their heads on top of the elevator, and the box swayed slightly... Ivory put her hands out, steadying herself, before quite suddenly, gravity completely gave out. The entire elevator went into freefall...
Her body hit the floor immediately and she opened her mouth to scream; the descent was wild, and she felt as if they were moving at the speed of light. Almost as quickly as it began, the journey ended - the brakes engaged and the elevator slowed to a stop.
As Colin stood and moved toward the elevator, Ivory was lifting herself up, rising quickly. Her eyes were still wide and her breathing was elevated, and she had a scowl on her face. "That... was... farking rediculous..."
She crossed the space toward the elevator doors, which Colin had already opened and leapt from. She calculated the angle, then jumped.
The descent was brief and the raven-haired woman landed in a roll, transfering the majority of her weight across her legs, buttocks, back, and shoulders. She came up on her feet a short distance from the three men standing in a small group neary; Colin, the masked man in the long coat, and "Equinox". The room appeared to be the lowest level of the ship; primarily a large storage area with a number of doors. It seemed a little messy down here... As if the area had been closed off from the rest of the ship for a short amount of time.
Ivory moved closer to the group, brushing herself off. "What are you guy-"
Then, she heard it too.
The roar.
"What... in blazes was that?"
