[quote=@Thanqol]While you're thinking of countdowns...

The rocket fuelling finished a few minutes ago. You were expecting blast-off at any moment but it hasn't happened just yet. Rather than running for cover, Turbo Knight 2 is up there on the balcony, looking expectantly at the sky. She's waiting for something. For a moment she looks down at you, and it seems like she's waiting for something there as well.

"Interesting," mused the Shogun. "You... think you could drop me off there when we go up? After we've solved this problem I think I'm due for a vacation."[/quote]

"Do my best" she mutters absently, mind on other things. She's staring right at Turbo Knight 2, makes eye contact, and then when she blinks (Ferra is a robot. She does not blink first.) looks away, up at the sky, and smile slightly. The stars and satellites above are gorgeous, and she can see them quite well, but that's not what she's after. She focuses, and they drop away, duplicating and forking away from her like staring into an infinity mirror, warping ever so slightly in every kaleidoscope shift of possibility until she's looking at the souls of the worthy, and the points of pyros in the aether, and the majesty of frozen tears lighting the earth with the goddess's love. And in there, she looks for what the rocket's waiting on.
