[color=077ae6]‘I’m fine with relocating to Connie’s Interdimensional Home. Since the one who I know is capable of breaking into it is invited, anyway,’[/color] Mariette said, referring to Sonia. Though, the whole thing about “the one who opens a gate first” was silly, the only one who could open the way to Connie’s home from here was Connie. So with that in mind, Mariette turned and nodded to Connie. I’ll refrain from writing Mariette’s reaction to the place until she’s described it.

Meanwhile, there was MDP announcing that there was a person named Nykannis that could help them. Hearing that name, Ronin froze up a bit, while Miko continues.

[color=DC9495]‘How could she help us? Would she help us?’[/color] Miko asked.

[color=55B7AA]‘Wait, hold on. I know who that is.’[/color] Ronin said, eyebrows raised at MDP. [color=55B7AA]‘She’s a self-proclaimed “queen of mad scientists” who once tried to turn me and Sakura into bloody paste with an army of killer robots because she wanted to run tests on a magic rock our friend had. Definitely not someone I would trust my back to, and I have a hard time imagining her helping us out in any capacity… But, er, how do you know her, MDP?’[/color] Ronin asked, because it definitely didn’t sound like they were describing the same person.

Miko’s eyes widened a bit in realization, because Ronin definitely told Miko about that specific event in the past.

Later, when they arrived there was some more talk and Penny sent them a treasure trove of information. Mariette frowned as she gazed upon it, and then spoke.

[color=077ae6]‘If you’d like to do a precise strike, I can help. I’ve been in Wonderland before, I know the places on this map and can break the boundaries between worlds. If we’re going to strike at the various egg-locations, I can bring us there as well. Or if we want me to somehow try to negotiate with the Queen, serve as a distraction… I can do that, too. I am her daughter, according to her, after all.’[/color] May as well try to use that to our advantage.

[color=077ae6]‘I prefer offense to defense. We could strike before they’re ready. But, before we talk about evacuation…’[/color] Now Mariette probably breaks Pentius-04’s heart by turning to MDP. [color=077ae6]‘You said this “Nykannis” could help secure the safety of the townspeople if it ends up being an attack. Can you confirm this and go ask this individual of this immediately? Will they require anything in turn?’[/color] she really just wanted to put that part behind her as soon as possible.

[color=077ae6]‘Anyway. Let’s attack them first, strike their weak points and cripple their forces instead of fighting them on their terms. That’s what I say,’[/color] Mariette said, no-nonsense.
