then inej moves to step in front of him, to run her hand along the door in front of them, and kaz watches her. feels the vibrations of the sound, the way the whole ship seems to shake. what would make a sound this loud? this intense? ]

Airborne. Waterborn would have been found out before it spread too far. [ he doesn't appreciate that sass, inej. but kaz will start walking again, continuing down the hallway, expecting her to follow. ]

The sound, though, could be the ship failing without having a crew to keep it functioning.

That's also an option, depending on how you want to look at our situation.

[ ha ha he's so funny. ]
