The base seemed to be going on some sort of red alert due to the imminent approach of an earthquake. This peaked Phantom's interest, but did not merit concern. After all, as long as the electricity stayed on, he had nothing to worry about. If the electricity did go off, he would have to fly away to the nearest city to recharge. The trip would be taxing, but at top speed, he could reach the nearest city well before running out of power to maintain his current form. 

The other option would be to hitch a ride on someone else trying to escape when the base's equipment started to fail. Then he could take a free ride to safety. This would make for a great excuse to Leech off of the boy standing in front of him, even if he stood no chance of controlling the body.

But all this planning was starting to become a bore. There was always the possibility that the base might just shake for a second and not go dark at all. 

Feeling comfortable in any situation, Phantom held his spot calmly. His stare toward the boy across the room remained unfaltering.
