The whole thing makes Meredith uneasy. By now, she thinks, she ought to be used to it: elevators, entire floors of buildings, entire buildings have appeared from thin air, objects come back that were lost or unwanted, pets return that were dead, people walk around wearing the same face. The island is a strange place. Strange things happen. That

"That's one way o' puttin' it," Sean scoffs lightly, casting his eyes about the place for the thousandth or so time. He doesn't want to be there -- or no, that's not quite accurate, it's just that he doesn't want to be there with her. He's got absolutely nothing against doing his duty and seeing a little bit of action in the process, he even relishes it, but whenever he goes into these things with Meredith at his side, he gets sloppy, paranoid, even less concerned with his own personal safety than usual in his zeal to make certain she's alright. If it were up to him, she'd remain topside until this entire place was completely cleared of the denizens that inhabit it, but that's just not feasible. She's got a reason to be down there and he'd never stand in the way of that, nor would he entrust her security to anyone else. This is just the way it has to be, so he bears it with grace and the best humour he can muster, a gun at one hip and a flask at the other.

She just doesn't like the way things keep appearing. Though neither the additional floors of the Compound nor the elevator nor the Rec Center have vanished yet, she never can feel she should trust them not to, and that feeling is all the stronger here in Rapture. Even so, a few months back, she might have embraced the opportunities afforded by a place like this. After the space station, though, she's warier. It'd be better this time to get where she needs to be, check through what's around and get out as fast as she can. "Well, it just keeps growing."

"The least deserted deserted island I've e'er heard of, f'r a certainty," Sean wryly says, his way of agreeing. "It's enae t'make ye wonder how far it all could go, if'n one day there might be land an' all the makeshift trappings o' some lousy civilization coverin' all that blue out yonder." If they'll still be around to see it.

"God, don't even say it," Meredith says, though it's too late for that. "Every time something turns up around here bigger than an elevator, it seems perfectly fine and then it basically tries to kill us. Imagine an entire land of that." When she puts it like that, it makes coming down here even more foolhardy, but how is she supposed to pass up the chance to see what kind of medical tech they might have? From what she's heard of what's down here, it could be pretty incredible.
