It's more of a "deus deserit vos" (thanks Risp).

And @ Ae: The Foocanoe can't swim.

I took the generic foodbars out of my pack. I unwrapped one, broke off a piece, and handed it to Uberbob. "Uberbob, eat one of these. We need to see if they're... cherry flavored."
The rabbit happily took the piece and nibbled on its corner. "These are just regular food-flavored bars," he sighed.
"Fair enough," I said. I snapped the remaining piece of the bar in half and handed one to Araches and one to L33tz4n, then unwrapped the other bar, snapped it in thirds, and handed the pieces to Fooruman, Faw, and kept one for myself. "We may not get out of here for a while. If we eat, we can prolong our death from starvation," I explained while eating the Foodpiece. It tasted like something between water and bread. Pretty generic, in other words.
L33tz4n and Faw nodded grimly. Fooruman handed his piece back to me. "Thank you for your offer, sir, but alas, I do not eat food. Only conquest." I had long since learned that understanding Fooruman was an impossible feat, and accepted back the piece of the foodbar.
"Leetzan," I addressed, "do you think you could do anything with the PDA we found at the campsite?"
The serpent girl looked at the broken device and frowned. "I don't think so. It looks badly broken. I could try to do something with it, though."
I handed the PDA to her. "Do that. By the way, guys, I'm going to fill the sleeping bag with water in case we need water later and the fountain is gone." I'm not quite sure where that came from, but so many strange things happened lately that nobody was about to argue with my logic. As I opened up the sleeping bag, however, something heavy rolled out and landed on the ground. I picked it up. It was a angular crystal of some sort, appearing to be made of the same material as the walls or the crystals in the other rooms. I stuffed it in my pack with the other stuff.
The sleeping bag wasn't waterproof. It got very soggy.
