Mars woke up with a groan, from what he felt he had at least cracked some ribs and he appeared to be carried by some of the people who were in the clearing earlier. They were also in a cave now which seemed much better than where they were before. One of the men said something about "him waking up" so Mars assumed that the man was referring to himself. Mars coughed up a bit of blood "I'm awake, not sure if I'm alive but I'm awake." a weak attempt at humor but anything he did right now would be weak.
