"Pretty sure he stole it from a movie," Wash comments dryly. Oh, yeah, Wash definitely remembers seeing this one. "Pretty sure the characters in the movie talked about just how stupid this kind of trap is." He hopes Arcade is listening; to that end, he'll insult Arcade's nonexistent creativity as much as he possibly can. It's petty, but it sure makes him feel better.

He catches sight of Pidge checking the door, and for a moment he can't help but hope-

Well, damn. "It's never that easy, is it," he mutters, turning back to the chompers and setting about memorizing the pattern. "The hard part of this is knowing if there's enough space to stop between sets - I can't see the farthest ones from this angle." Not being able to stop would make this a hell of a lot harder than it needed to be - which, of course, is why Wash wouldn't put it past Arcade. After all, Arcade wants to kill them all; why make it easy for them?
