A large airship, bringing people and goods to the busy Haabin markets began to slowly turn as the Reavers were spotted. Alarms blared, people crushed against each other as some rushed for the lifeboats, and others to the cargo hold. The ship had basic defences, enough to make pirates think twice, but it's nowhere near enough to stand up to the random artillery fire coming from the Reavers. Too slow for evasion, all the transport can do is hope to get lucky. For a while, it's enough.

And then it isn't.

One of the airship's turbines belches green flames as a plasma blast ignites the metal itself, and the airship starts to drift. The turbine explodes, and the airship tips a full ninety degrees, sending a crowd tumbling overboard, screaming and flailing in the air.

All save for a single Ku, calmly falling, holding a T-pose. Smoke fires from her joints, and plates extend, tilt, and rearrange themselves into a new pattern, with fins for flight stabilisers. She flips over, and her feet fire rainbow flames that stop her falling. She points a finger-gun at the listing airship, and says "Pow!" as she 'fires'.

There's a rush of magic as a digital ghost is launched into the ship. A shipment of delivery drones find themselves with new instructions and break free of their storage, invalidating dozens of warranties. They zip straight past their ostensible owner, out into open sky, where they begin catching castaways.

Matrix turns to face the rescued travellers as the drones carry them to solid ground. She strikes a pose, and detonates a heart-shaped firework behind her, then turns and blasts off to engage the Reavers.
