"We're not gonna do anything like that," Jim says in a tone like it's obvious and matter-of-fact. Poe's idea does get his attention, though, and he looks up, pondering for a moment before lifting a shoulder and tipping his head. "I'm taking several tools with me, just in case. A rope extension for the eventuality that we can't reach the bottom wouldn't hurt. There are knots to make it safe enough to hold our weight."

He doesn't get into details, though. He'd much rather just get it done with, instead of sitting around going through every tiny detail. He'd done a lot worse, more reckless and dangerous than this before, so he's feeling absolutely confident they'll pull it off.

Loki's approach has him pausing a moment, if only so he can shoot a blank stare at the god. "No." Seriously, what sort of question is that, and did he really expect any other answer? Shaking his head and swatting a hand at Loki's arm, he digs out a harness next, starting to put it on before he goes through the proper attachments and security checks to make sure he's ready to start the descent.

"Alright— Loki's lights will help us down on our way, but I'll be taking a few flashlights too. Once down there I'll open a channel so we can decide if it's safe for everyone to go down there or not."
