[The river - ]

[Just ahead. Monsun has a strange and eclectic effect on things, but they at least recall the layout. They mapped this area. This, and so many others.]

[Every instinct screams that they turn and fight, that they do anything but what they're about to do. Water has, in their past, been lethal. If they are to die, it would be far better to do it fighting something tangible, tangling with an enemy and preventing it from hurting or damaging anyone else, than willingly committing themself to some sort of immediate and wholly escapable act of pointless self-destruction. They self-destruct with purpose. They do not risk death to escape pain.]

[But they charge for the river, plunge into the icy water as it seethes up and around them in a rush.]
