Jacob was just preparing to start the radiation trail when Ravenia gave her orders. He stepped out of the the solar streaker as Tobias did and got a good look at Shay. "Shit!" he muttered audibly under his breath. That certainly complicated things. With no driver, Jacob's distraction plan was toast. He wasn't happy about having to follow Ravenia's order, but without a driver there was no other option. He didn't say anything, just waited as Ravenia, Tobias, and Shay phased back to the med center. As Fen changed to human, Jacob turned to him and said "Go on first. I'll be right behind you." As Fen and Anora took off, Jacob through off his gloves. He held his hands apart and began to focus. Streams of green radioactive energy pulsed between them, forming into a large orb. Jacob pulled his hands back, and through the orb as hard as he could to the west. When it landed, it would make a radioactive fire. It wasn't as effective as his trail plan, but it would hopefully draw a small number away from the herd.

Jacob hopped back in the solar streaker, taking off back to the wall. With the engines still overclocked, he managed to catch up to Fen in no time at all. But just as he reached him, the green energy in the car began to sputter out, and the car slowed to its normal speed. Jacob again swore under his breath. In the driver seat, he wouldn't be able to overclock it again. Besides, the engine would need to cool down anyway.

Reaching the gates, Jacob immediately hopped out of his solar streaker. Turning to Fen, he called, "Handle that, then get back to the walls. You saw how close they're getting." He followed up by calling to Marcus, shouting "Marcus, get the wall on the defensive immediately! The herd is on its way here!" He quickly scaled the wall, taking a place on it to track the proximity of the herd, waiting to strike.
