[ dito's eyes were follow the light of the pda until it dissipates, and then he places his hands on his hips as he stares into the dark. well, it's deep, but he's not sure if the light disappearing is due to the depth or from hitting whatever it hit in there. if anything, they at least know they won't waste time since there's actually something down there. and that it's really not safe enough to jump in through the hole. not that anyone here seems to care about safety but ranger, dito notes.
he swallows thickly again, testing how his neck is faring — already much better, he notices.
dito's eyes follow ranger as the other moves away to promptly start checking out the back; that's probably the smartest move, although this time-wasting puzzle hasn't proved exciting at all thus far. dito shrugs his shoulders before following the other. he's perfectly happy to stand around for sure, but when he did that a few minutes ago it ended up being unpleasant and he's not looking for a repeat, thanks.
he lifts a knee and leans his boot against the edge of one of the gears he needs to cross, testing the surface of it before he easily ends up hopping up on top of and then over it, also hitting the ground with a dull thump. he checks the presently more lonesome corner opposite to ranger, giving a cursory sweep of everything while he moseys over there.
when he sees the hatch, he'll crouch down and actually confirm if it opens up that easily by pulling on it.
... there's a lot of dust that kicks up in the process obviously, and dito coughs a few times and fans the air in front of him with his spare hand as he checks out the hatch to see if there's a ladder or anything present.
regardless, he'll end up cocking his head back while still sitting on his haunches as he points at the newly opened hatch. ]

Got something over here. Probably.
[ there's his vocal cords again. ]
