Diarmuid swears softly under his breath. If Jason used them, then it is pretty likely there is no way for them to break out. Jason would not have risked something like that happening while he was having his...fun. Might they really be stuck here?

No, he won't let himself think that. Something will happen...

"Perhaps the power keeping them going will fail before time runs out. We might be able to get out then..."

"Perhaps, hopefully it will be a gradual fail. The glamour is already out so hopefully non essential use will fail first."

Not the best method since it would give them very little time, but better than the alternative.

Diarmuid forces himself to calm down and then nods, "We won't have much time, but as long as we are ready to move when it happens, it is better than being stuck here until the very end."

It might sound like he is reading Shion's mind, but at the moment, he is really trying to convince himself this will work, because there seems like there are no other options...

"Maybe we should spread the word, let people know that they have to be ready if that happens. Come up with a plan of things to do if we can escape like that." If they had a plan it would be easier to adjust for whatever did happen, rather than coming up with an entire plan on the spot.

"Good idea, Shion. Plus, it will give people who don't have anything to do at the moment, something to focus on to keep them from giving up or panicking," he gives the boy a proud look. "You start on your side and I'll start on mine."

Shion smiled and nodded, "Alright." He moved across the cage to the far wall and waved to get the person's attention. Glad to be doing something. He was definitely someone for whom action was better than being left to panic.
