333 Extraction

More rain began to tap against the muddy ground, and he could hear it splashing into the swamp water nearby.

Jay let out the square plate from his gauntlet. “Handy, Blue, hold this up, quick.” He ordered, pointing at the giant bone plate, and pulled out a beam next.

The other skeletons hadn’t returned, and Jay glanced at the empty molds for the bone beams and the square, then at the skeletons awkwardly holding the square on its side.

If he wanted to stay dry, there wasn’t enough time to make a roof plate.

“Ah, fuck it. It will have to do.” Jay frowned, and attached the very bottom of the beam to the corner of the square plate.

Some melted bone was all it took to connect them, but to add some strength he hastily plucked some femur bones and made triangle supports between the beam and the square plate.

The rain began to sprinkle as Jay attached the second beam, and as he was reinforcing it, more skeletons returned.
