"Catfish One to all fisherman. The plan's workin. Tighten the net, say again tighten the net. We got him by the ass so light it up with any clear shot you can take!"
She raised her carbine and aimed for the frog's abdomen before firing a burst. She swam along side to cut off its route of escape with fair distance in between, but not so much that her rifle would be useless. The main thing was to hurt the frog, keep him moving toward shore and avoid hurting Shep. Then, she took another moment to ensure the blood wasn't bringing along more predators.

Janxi let the frog have a little space between it and her, to feel like shore was safe, before she used her rifle as a cattle prod. She lifted the weapon and targeted the amphibian's knee. She realized, with legs like that, it could potentially outrun and outjump her. Lioness predatory instincts kicked in. Wound its rear leg to slow it before delivering the easy kill.
[dice=20+8]
Damage [dice=6]*10+6=26
She smiled as her burst hit the target and swam after the frog. "Oooh-rah, Catfish-1!" she said to acknowledge Tori.

When Tori looked back, she caught movement in the water, but it was hard to make out between the distance and the darkness.
The frog had obviously had enough as it's survival instincts took over. It huge mouth opened and it's tongue unfurled as it swam for the shoreline, the limp shape of Carson Trassk drifting slowly towards the muddy bottom.

Socrates dashed for Shep. "I have him." he called, tennis style. "boat be ready."
With Shep, Socrates swam upward.

Tori swam in quickly, too. Socrates was closer, even if she was a faster swimmer so he arrived first. "Bravo zulu, (bravo zulu is navy-ish for very good) Soc! Get him up on deck and on his back. You done good!"
Tori surfaced near Socrates and Shep, clasping around them both and inflating her armour with extra air to add buoyancy for three. She kicked her fins beneath.
"Catfish One to Catfish Two. I'm at swamp-top with Dogfish and with The Fly. Cover us in case Kermit comes back. Over?"
Rather than use a flare, to be seen by all, she fished out her flashlight, flickering a ... --- ... "SOS" to Jin and Sam aboard "Eve."
"Catfish One to Queenfish. That's our SOS. Move in NOW!"
Tori tread water holding Shep and began to assess his injuries. Airway, make sure clean. Breathing, was he breathing? And circulation, did he have a pulse? Any other trauma could be assessed on Eve's deck. If he needed rescue breathing, she would provide mouth to mouth, with a slight tuna breath. If he needed CPR, she would crack open his cuirass and begin compressions. Mainly, she kept his head above the water, until Sam and Jin showed up to get him on Eve's deck.
"Shep, listen to me.. Stay wif us. Gimmie your full name and rank," she said to keep him conscious and alert. "Whatcher mother's maiden name? Gimmie yer serial number! Sound off soldier!"

There was no response from Shep as he hung limply. While Sorates held on, Tori found Shep had stopped breathing. It took her several breathes before both cat and dog felt their XO convulse and then begin coughing violently to clear the water from his lungs. Hanging weakly, but beginning to help tread water as well, Shep spoke softly," You two cuddling in? The world must be coming to an end."

Tori had a laugh. "Yeah you foxing dick Shep... I heard an alligator atcha! The dog and cat savin' ya? Sign of the 'poclypse!" She shot Socrates an almost playful look. "Go on an' keep caughin'. Clear out yer lungs. Mamacat gotcha now.You got anythin' I gotta stitch up, or are are ya ready to go on? "
She continued treading water with Shep and Soc, laughing nervously. "Catfish One to Catfish Two, the Fly is awake and well. C'mon up and let's get the fox out of here."
She looked over at Socrates. "You feelin' like a combat swimmer, yet? Hoo-ya!"
At that, she grabbed Shep in a full Nelson, but none too tight, kicking slowly with the XO resting on her chest and her providing the buoyancy beneath. She performed rescue swimmer duty to get him back to the approaching Eve. "We oughtta get five clicks between here and there before we get some sack drill. We done lit this place and dat frog up! Gon' be some snakes lookin' for a bleedin' toad."

Sam directs Jin to where the cats and Socrates are with Shep, looking worried as the head over." She radios Tori, "En route to your position, Catfish one."
Once they reach their position, Sam helps get Shep back into the boat, unable to hide her concern as she peers at him. "You ok, Carson?" she asks him in a gentle tone of voice.

Through his helmet, Socrates' suprise was evident. "Carson?" He asked.

Janxi made sure the frog escaped, but did not fire until Tori, Soc and shep were clear, and gave him another poke with her laser rifle:
[dice=20+8]
Damage [dice=6]*10+6=56
Then, coast clear, she floated up and climbed into the boat as it approached with Jin and Sam. "Yeah, frogs ain't nuthin..." She scooted aboard, and helped Sam load up Shep, then Socrates, then her little partner. She pulled off her own helmet and gave Tori a nuzzle.
"You done saved him, but we gots to go. All that frogblood's gonna bring in real gators... Jin, you done better scooch!"[rand=78941834732257853368587853918820410351776638447592030302119575]

Shep was still coughing up waterwhen Sam helped him aboard, uthe managed to contain it long enough to respond weakly," I'll live, but I hate frogs now."He retook his seat, and thankfully the boat drowned out the sounds of his wretching.
Once everyone was aboard, Jin powered up the engine and took them a little further south until he found a small sandy beach and put the airboat ashore.

Tori climbed off the boat, a little unused to being a passenger instead of the pilot. Figuring Janxi to camouflage the boat, she stood on the beach and listened to the swamp's nighttime sounds, hoping mosquitoes, flies, bullfrogs of normal size, birds and treefrogs would be back to chirping.
"I'm gonna check the perimeter. Socrates, you wanna help out?" Having a nose along would help. She started out to check the outskirts of the beach, looking and listening for anything that could be trouble.

Sam nods at Shep, feeling sympathetic. "I don't blame you." She tries to give him some privacy while he retches (though that's hard given they're on a smallish air boat) and helps him onto shore if he needs it. Nodding at the cats and Socrates, she smiles at them and says, "Excellent work, all of you."
While the cats are checking the permiter, Sam keeps an eye out for any sign of trouble [dice=20] (perception)[rand=8066072948186727473669530402693469849452253361887967189836194675]

When Shep was calm enough' Socrates got Shep's helmet back crouched down in front of Shep. "Do hate them more than wearing this?" He asked, holding Shep's helmet up. "Or will we need to get you some glue?" With a grin, he placed the helmet down, facing Shep.
Standing, he headed for the beach. "Pairs or splinter?" He asked her, looking around, trying to get a feel for the place.

"Pairs, Soc... Loose intervals, 5 yards. You seen we can even go missin' from the deck of the boat, so I'm right fond of safety in numbers. I'll take point, iffen ya want."
She walked the perimeter of the beach slowly and stealthily, using her ears, limited sense of smell, and training in search of any dangers. She kept the boat in sight, and in sight of the boat, in case of trouble. But for now, she wanted to make sure they hadn't landed on a beach occupied by a raptor's nest.
