It's worse than it's ever been.

That's all that Amy can think - in between I wish that he'd come, and now it's not even Rory, it's the Doctor, that she wishes that the Doctor would come and this wasn't misery anymore. That it wasn't people dying, that it wasn't the two days with almost no sleep because constantly. Angels. Cylons. Hellhounds. Demons. They were everywhere, and the floor was littered with electronics and chunks of stone, no matter where they were. People were dead, people were injured-- and all Amy could do was tell herself that he'd come, that the Doctor would come at the last second, because he always came.

But she was so tired of waiting.

That was why, when they decided that the only way this might ever stop was if they did something to the Sphere. If they did something somehow, if Thor could destroy it or Steve or somebody, because this wasn't working. The 'we'll blockade until they stop' wasn't working. That was last night. Today, they went back across, diving suits and all, and Amy knows that she wasn't the only one to see the explosives, to see the hellhounds under water, the angels, frozen in time because they were seen, clawing their way in the spaceship. It was all around them, and it was a pitched fight getting to the room with the sphere. They had one goal, and this was it. Destroy it - however they could, destroy it, so that this would stop, or else it wouldn't just be Shepard, it would be all of them. She kept waiting for it, that echoing dischordant whine that meant that she was not abandoned, that she had waited, but was not waiting-- but all she heard was the crunch of metal on stone, the footsteps of the Cylons, the baying of hounds, and Steve's voice over it all, trying to coordinate everyone.

They've explored the habitat, found all the material they needed, and Caroline's volunteered to stay at the controls and be the voice in their ears. They're a small but diverse group: Erik Lensherr, Mister Spock and Captain Kirk, Shepard, Dr Baltar, Kate, Amy, Jo, Zoe, Abed, Thor and Steve. Thor and Steve don't really need to talk much to be on the same wavelength in times like these, so Steve speaks more for the rest of them than for his friend as he, without really meaning to, takes charge. It's something he does because it's what he's been trained to do and what everybody has looked to him for ever since he's gotten the serum; if he had done it on purpose, he might have been a little self-conscious about taking charge when Captain Kirk might be just as capable.

Abed's proved useful once again, pointing out this or that function of the habitat, and showing Caroline how to work the controls. He's shown them the spaceship lying a good hundred yards away on the seabed, and to put it plainly, the ship is huge, even for someone who's been on SHIELD's Helicarrier.

Now they're all changing into diving suits and checking their oxygen bottles, and soon enough they're opening the hatch. Steve goes first, the added weight of his shield taking him down to the seafloor all the faster. Once it's clear, he comms for the others to join him, and soon enough they're a small group trekking the distance between the spaceship and the habitat. Steve's never dreamed of being so deep inside the sea, and it takes him back to 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea as if he still were a small boy.

Abed's said that there should be no hostiles on the ship, only the Sphere, but Steve knows never to be too careful. They swim up into a large chamber where they wait while the water is being pumped out. It lasts a good couple of minutes but finally, the last of the water is gone and they can open the hatch leading into the spaceship proper. Dr Baltar has taken a breathing air test kit from the habitat, but before he can give them the result, Thor has taken off his mask and exclaimed that the air was stale, but that it would do! A few more seconds and Dr Baltar confirms that the air is breathable, and everybody takes off their masks, hanging them at their belts.

"Captain Kirk, Thor and I are taking point," Steve reminds them. "Mister Spock, Commander Shepard and Erik, take the rear. The rest of you stick in the middle. Primary target is the cockpit, secondary target is the Sphere, but," and he emphasizes this, "we don't get separated."

They start into the spaceship. Quickly enough, all hell breaks loose, and of course, they get separated.
