Atom looks perfectly calm for a rather small person ready to dive into deep ocean waters. He stands at the edge of the boat deck using his visual scanners to get an idea of how close they are to the sunken Imperial air ship. His clothes are folded neatly in a pile with his sandals stacked on a barrel save for a pair of black shorts. No need to get his clothes wet and dirty unnecessarily or add to the underwater drag.

"As you know, I don't need air. But if anything goes amiss on your end, please signal to me that you need to go up for air." He gestures upward and then towards his mouth to show them what he means. "I can help you swim back to the surface quickly. If it's urgent, I'll grab you around the middle and use my jets to speed up. If you're going up for another reason, just point upward."

winding off?

Donnie already has a lantern to carry, so Atom volunteers to carry the package, tapping his chest and then holding out his arms to receive it. If they go back the way they came, they'll be above surface and able to talk soon. He is already eager to look at the stones closer and ask if any of them might work for his installation.

Okay!

With something of a shrug, the turtlekin nods, scooping the bundle up to pass over to Atom's awaiting arms. He gathers his own things, taking one last look around for anything they might have missed before he gives one more nod and a thumbs-up, ready to follow the other's lead out.
