[Caitlyn goes stumbling through the broken remains of the door, managing to catch herself before she faceplants forward into the water. Barely.
Next step: retrieve the torch. Its light sputters when Caitlyn picks it up and tries to shake some of the water off of it, but after a concerning moment, it holds steady. She offers it to Clara again.
And then it's a matter of leading the way downwards. She's more than happy to take the responsibility, looking out as best she can for any more black mould or... small things with numbing properties waiting to leap out at them. Finally, they come across a door leading to a set of stairs downwards towards what she hopes is their ultimate objective.
Just in case, and more than a little on-edge from the ordeal they've been through getting to this point, Caitlyn pulls out her rifle, readying herself in case there's trouble down there.]

Stay behind me, [she urges Clara quietly.]
