[Somewhere outside of City Solutions, Chekov is doing what he can to help others escape The Things running about today (or slithering around, as the case may be). Mostly, that involves shooting The Things with one of the laser guns he made when he first entered the City.
That's what he was doing, anyway. The gun has stopped working and Chekov, with his engineering knowledge temporarily traded away, can't get it running again. He's tried pushing buttons, removing and replacing parts, hitting the stupid thing, swearing at it in a variety of languages... and it's not responding. He grudgingly pulls out his network device.]
Derrmo... Pavel, you are an idiot. Trading away knowledge...

Howl, Sophie. If either of you are home, would you please go into my room and see if--
[A scraping sound. Chekov pauses. Behind him, a manhole cover lifts and is pushed aside by what might have been, in a previous life, a set of hands--gnarled, knuckle bones visible through a glistening coat of slime and rot.
Even as he turns to look, something whips out of the manhole and wraps itself around Chekov's legs. It drags him towards the hole and the grabbing hands. The young man yelps and reaches for the useless gun, but it's too far away. He twists and hits the thing around his legs with the only weapon at hand: his network device.
The picture flickers. The quality of the feed is poor, but a swearing Chekov is visible, halfway down the manhole, holding on to a crack in the cement above ground to prevent the creature from dragging him under. He slams his network device on the ground and--]

[--disappears from view, a jagged, broken piece of plastic--a remnant of the network device--firmly in hand.
There's nothing for a minute.
Two minutes.
A bloodied hand grasps the rim of the manhole. Chekov hauls himself up onto the relative safety of the cement, filthy and bleeding but very much alive. He has the presence of mind to replace the manhole cover.]
Eto pizdets...

She catches sight of Chekov coming out out of a manhole.]
Chekov! Are you okay?
action!
Korra. [Good, now he can sit down.] I think I killed it.
action!
Congrats. This isn't the place to rest. We need to get inside.
action!
You need to get inside. I doubt I will be walking anywhere.
action!
You got that right.
[She heaves him up over her shoulder.]
Let's go.
action!
Much.]
Korra, that hurt.
Re: action!
action!
[Said in a hissed whisper, because he is being quiet. Perhaps the monsters aren't the only ones who won't notice them; Chekov would rather not have everyone in the City see Korra carrying him around like this.]
action!
[Despite her burden, she moves through the streets swiftly and quietly.]
We're almost there.
action!
[groggily] Where?
action!

[Not that he offers up the address or protests. Staying with Korra probably is safer.]
