"Cayde's team is sweeping them out of the open and securing around Rasputin's bunker."
Wisp answeres. Finn is oddly silent.

She breaks the kiss. "Finny. I'm not exactly doing okay...."
-
He looks worried. "W-what do ya mean?" He winces, the mere act of talking extremely painful.
-
"I got stabbed.... Not sure with what... But I think I lost a lot of blood."
-
"It was with your own sword. Mason did it." Wisp reports. "You did lose blood, but seeing as you aren't bleeding now and are still conscious, you'll recover." Finn tries to sit up, but falls back down. "I don' think I'll be movin fer a while... Ow..."
-
"I don't remember my father doing that... He wouldn't hurt me... right?" She asked.
-
"Well, he WAS going to have Lunar give you a memory drug. I don't know if he was able to apply it." Wisp says.
-
"I don't remember being stabbed."
-
"Did you not hear me say memory drug?"
-
"I did. But I can't believe he did that! Why? Why would he do that?"
-
"Something about saving you. Ask Lunar when you see him next." Suddenly, the ground shakes.
-
She grabs Finn, putting his arm on her shoulder.
-
He leans on her. They hear the Ahmkara's voice. "I will have my vengeance... Oh children of light." The massive wish-dragon bursts from the ground, roaring. "Are... You... BLOO'Y KIDDING ME?!" Finn shouts.
-
"Lemme guess, transmat jammed," she said to Wisp.
-
"No, but with how messed up he is it's not a good idea." The Ahmkara roars before launching into the air. "[i]You will die... In time.[/i]" It flys away. "That was... Anticlimactic."
-
"Damnit, Wisp, get help."
-
"Comms are too crowded. I'll go find someone. Wait here." He dissapears. Finn coughs, spitting out blood. "Havin' a wish worm in yer body ain't healthy... That sounded so wrong."
-
"Well. The door out of here is shut. So at this point it's like [i]Let's Make a Deal[/i]," Sarah said jokingingly, " 'I choose door number one.' 'So you're going for it. What A go-getter. Is it going to be help, or is it going to be a dragon?' "
-
Finn laughs, then winces. "Yeah... You remember tha' stash o' loot Cayde had on the colony ship? Wonder if some o' it's... still... there..." He trails off, his head lolling to the side.
-
"I was struggling fighting the Taken inside me. But I do remember Mark saying how pissed he was over the fact the Fallen got to it first."
-
Finn nods. "I was the one tha' helped Cayde stash that ya know."
-
"He never credited you."
-
"Eh, Cyade can be a jerk." He says, his head drooping. "One o'... These days maybe I can show ya sone o' the loot stashes I've found o'er the years."
-
"I wish I could fly us outta here, but I don't have the energy," Sarah said.
-
"Wisp won't... Won't let us... Down..." He starts to collapse.
-
She lays him down on his back. She lies down next to him, "I saved you. Are you keeping track of how many times we've saved each other. I'm pretty sure you owe me two saves."
