Not until Mae left her distracting entourage behind and she drew near enough to other buildings to use her blindsight did she truly start to get a feel for the scope of the guild's devastation. Scattered around were the rattled husks of the other Overseers' domains, none having escaped some damage. Yet a couple of the installations appeared almost unscathed, like Cormac's forge, and Mae couldn't suppress a pang of frustration. After the fire still raging through the Gorging Trough finally burned out, she would be lucky if there was enough of a shell left of the once-grand restaurant to bother using it. Sure, her department wasn't the [i]most[/i] valuable, but the effort for repairs would be immense. The realization that some of the factories fared better than others helped to finally dispel in her mind the possibility of an earthquake or some other natural disaster, since such a calamity couldn't possibly be so selective. But if this was the work of an enemy force, why couldn't she detect a single hostile among the rubble, no matter how far she probed with her blindsight? Any invaders should be pouring over the ruins right now, looking for survivors to exterminate. It just didn't add up. Then again, her blindsight went only so far. She couldn't afford to assume safety.

Too wary of further assault -and too cumbersome- to rush, Mae neared the Guild Sanctum a little after the others. If she had a face, it would have been riddled with annoyance when she found her progress impeded by Tunsten's Cyber Skeletons. Her booming replies could be heard even within the structure. "Shiny little pests, quit buzzing around! No I don't know anything!" By a good margin the largest among them, and figuring that just about everything was written off anyway, she did not hesitate to shove aside or smash through fallen debris on her quest to answer her summons. The resulting noise made for a raucous and ill-fitting follow-up to Tungsten's song, but with her precious domain kaput, artistry was the last thing on Mae's mind. A few moments later the headless cook barged into the innermost chamber, where she found a number of her comrades already present. 

"Hey, hey! What's shaking?" She was pleased to find Levia, whose passionate and gung-ho nature rivaled her own, no worse for wear. Though not much overlap existed between their domains, they remained good acquaintances. Gammaton appeared to be a little more excited and disheveled than usual, but otherwise alright, which was good considering that Hivehill and its never-ending tide of insect minions represented some of the Trough's most consistent clientele. The intense yet stylish Tungsten Jazz also caught her attention, not out of surprise given the presence of his minions outside, nor out of any particular extant camaraderie, but rather because of who he was holding. There was no mistaking that white dress, that pink hair. Mae quickly stowed her flesh hooks. "Lady Forex! Ma'am?" Given her limited magical knowledge she could barely tell that some treatment had taken place thanks to Tungsten, but the Supreme Being had yet to rouse herself. Well, Mae couldn't do much about that. Even if she had any consumables on her, her method of healing (if stuffing food into an unconscious body could be deemed as such) would be unwieldy compared to that of a dedicated medic's.

She swept the inner sanctum with her senses, but turned up nobody else of Faetalis' stature. "Master Sugi...?" came a low rumble from her neck, unbidden. Maybe she should have been thinking more about the Supreme Being before her, but Tungsten had her covered, and she couldn't help but think of her own creator. Had he escaped the destruction? Where was he? [i]Oh, of course![/i] Always the stunning pinnacle of a go-getter, he surely must have left at the first sign of trouble to take care of whatever caused this mess. And if he had sallied forth, there was no need to worry. No doubt that was why she found no enemies probing the factories--Sugi had already mopped them up. Mae relaxed, secure in the knowledge that her master was on the job, and waited for Faetalis to awaken.
