"I'm not going to jump in," Jim shoots back at Bones, almost huffing as if the suggestion alone is absolutely preposterous. He's not that crazy anymore, alright. "I'm going to rappel down the hole and see if I can get to the bottom. Not like looking down will get us anywhere closer."

He's tried with the several scanners to get a read on the depth and what might be down at the bottom, but estimates is all he's gotten. Seems to him they've reached the point where they'll have to lean a little more on faith.

There's something of a huffed chuckle at Loki's assessment, though he says nothing to it, even as he raises an eyebrow at the god. Don't mind him, though, he'll just dig out all his rappel gear from his backpack while you all talk science, looking around and finding a decent enough boulder. It's not too big so he doesn't need to waste a lot of rope, and it's got a good enough size while being firmly set on the ground that the rope won't slip off, nor will the boulder move out of place with someone's weight.

"I'm likelier to get a better look if I go down there, at the very least. It's probably not that far down anyway, just... dark."
