Children. The lot of them. Even Tony was on that level of maturity in his mind in that moment. All this talk and no one was actually usin' their brains. Typical. Go in guns blazin' and get them all killed. "Didn't anyone ever tell any of you boys not to go in half cocked?" Rolling his eyes, he kept his gaze on the lit up screen as he scanned the way the passages mapped out. From the looks of it, the planet was on a stint of darkness due to the alignment of the planets. Collapsing the caves could be well... detrimental if done wrong.
"Damn it, I'm a doctor, not a damn strategist." He mumbled it under his breath as he turned the image on the screen looking for the widths of passages and the density of the surface above. Last thing they needed was open sky to deal with. Finally noting good spots to cave in, he looked up at Tony with an arched brow. "By all means. Go let them eat you first. But we need to consider these things are like insects when it comes to numbers. If we draw too much attention, we could be overrun."
Shutting down the bookmark, he slid it into one of the pockets on the vest then started to unsnap and check clips on the rifle before sighing and pushing them back in. Least Starfleet made him learn weapons even if he found them useless as a doctor. "Damn flame thrower woulda been better." Whatever.
Looking at the boys next, he pointed at the cavern ceiling. "If we collapse the caves too close to the top, we'll be askin' for a whole nest a trouble when the sky opens up. We need to keep things closed up." God, why was he havin' to think like this? "If you travel up the two larger tunnels, not far up, they narrow off. From the looks of it, the cavern is dense enough if we collapse it, we won't be opening up a giant hole. And whatever little openings we got left we can pick 'em off as they come. Then it's down to how fast we can do this so they don't overwhelm us."
Running a hand through his hair, he felt a little like he might pass out. "But unless any of you kids got somethin' to say that's useful, cut the chatter. These things see by sound and movement so don't forget it."
