[quote=@Lonewolf685] Well feel free to stop trying to drill, though that means he has to stop his thrusters to avoid splattering himself into the rock or toast Endian in her escape. Also you just mentioned how cramped the tunnel was so we'll have to see how effectively he can use six arms to slash at his own drill arm, let alone Ananta. Let's see how well that goes for Endian when she leaves her armored carapace into a dark tunnel with a serpent ready to strike. [/quote] Grafdakka could survive the impact. At the very least, it wouldn't harm Endian. With the mental image I have, Anata is currently clinging to the "front" of Grafdakka, holding on tight to his arm. Endian will be leaving via drilling out of the back, so Anata has to get through or around Grafdakka to get to Endian. And that's assuming Anata isn't also squished when Grafdakka splats into the dirt. [quote] Also wasn't he drilling at any angle, not straight down? [/quote] He might've been. Still, Endian knows where to go. [quote] Considering Graf had done all of this digging with a reality destroying drill scaled for a colossal Mecha, Endian would have to do the same course with hardlight constructs on a tunnel that resealed itself in Grafdakka's passing and has increased to disastrous temperatures on top of it. Sure, that's a hazard for the both of them, though considering how long such an upwards ascent would take and Graf is left at the bottom to self destruct only after Endian surfaces...Weeeeeelll, you can see how this plan doesn't seem to hold a lot of water unless you wanted to be in a pitch darkness with a very cross snake. [/quote] Oh no, Grafdakka isn't going to explode as soon as Endian reaches the surface. He's going to explode as soon as Endian starts digging, as in pretty much shortly after Endian bursts out of Grafdakka. That's why Endian needs Eos defense booster: Endian is pretty much at ground zero of the Grafdakka bomb with Anata.
