It was now apparent to her that Silana had no intention of playing along to another's tune, a trait she loathed in anyone else but herself. She almost sneered to find the pure human had evaded the attack, though his nanite screen that kept her maggots from burrowing inside kept her focused on the matter at hand. Still, it was a paltry barrier that was overtasked with keeping the bats at bay and barely held up the small zone of control it mustered. [color=orangered]"You are an impulsive lich, aren't you? And to think I thought the undead were better at controlling their emotions, you know, being 'eternal' and all."[/color] She laughed wickedly, clearly amused at the idea of anything being eternal. Given Suparna's own role in the natural cycle of life and death, she felt like laughing at any fool that thought they could truly live forever. [color=orangered]"Sit back and wait for eternity while I sort this out."[/color] This time Suparna joined in the frayed, disappearing into the swarm of bats to join Chirada. The Corpse responded to an unspoken signal and burst out of the bat swarm to pierce the Nanite screen. They descended to eat away at Chirada, but their programming kept the majority at the boundary so the cloud barely frayed the tips of his feathers. Chirada didn't bother stopping to strike at the Succubus, but choose to barrel through and tackle her outside the screen and back into the darkness where it would open up and trap her in the cage of bone so maggots and bats could feast on her helpless flesh and metal. Suparna leapt through the screen once Chirada made contact with the Machina and leapt to knock the scientist to the floor even as her skin turned red from the nanites trying to eat her. If she reached him her wide sleeve would be shoved over his face and allow a torrent of maggots to eat through his eyes and crawl through orifices to get at the tasty brains inside. This wasn't a matter of controlling him, but devouring him completely for the flavor of it. Though of course, Silana would be getting a perfectly intact skeleton for her troubles.

The Angels and Demons had commanders who were occupied either fighting over territory control or for control of the Elicitor's deck. Even though they were drastically outnumbered, Endian and Grafdakka had done well in holding off the superior numbers attacking from above and below, while the others fought valiantly to keep their base secure. However, the Machina still had more to offer. [color=aqua]"Your request is acknowledged and has arrived."[/color] The maids would find that their call for help was indeed answered and found to be worthy of sending Aqua Regia herself. She'd have been more effective dealing with the sudden arrival of another angelic commander, but it was unanimously decided that preserving the Queen's treasure trumped all other concerns. Propulsion units flared to life, Regia flying across the room to alight in front of the hastily barricaded hole in the hole, rifle and sword bared to bar Diana's advance. [color=aqua]"You will unhand the Human and surrender yourself before you cause further harm. Further efforts to escape will only end in your demise, intruder."[/color]
