>>>Sort of a deadmans switch as it were."
>>
>>"Sure.  I would too," Woof agrees.  "But I don't think that

>>
>>>She looks back out at the object in the water, "I'm thinking leave

>>>launcher, I'm hoping that the water in the can will either saturate

>>
>>"I'd agree with flooding it, yes, but I think once we turn it, if we

>>>She looks up at Woof, "I don't have the kit here to disarm it

>>
>>"So why don't we turn it [ooc: if we haven't] then punch a couple of
>>holes into the launcher, then blow the antenna off?  Either it
>>detonates or we take it out of range...  I'm guessing that if the

>>looks around at the gathering clouds.  "I'd say we are in for a blow. And

Jezebel looks back at the device and wrings her hair out before pealing her 
tank top off.  "I just don't want to make a scene out here and attract a ton 
of attention," she starts to wring the water out of the shirt before walking 
back to the horses and opening up the saddle bags.

"I think honestly, one shot," she pulls another top out of her pack and 
looks at Woof, "if it doesn't blow up the next one we puncture with the 
knife."  She pauses for a moment before putting the second top on.  It's 
black with a long red chinese dragon down the right side.  Jezebel pulls a 
fresh set of boxers out of the saddle bag and walks around behind the horse 
before stripping out of the wet ones and putting the dry ones one.
