	[color=FFB795]"Wait, wh'd'ya mean the console's alive?!"[/color] Amelia exclaimed. She looked at Celestine, before looking again at Oliver, and realizing she seemed to be the only one troubled by this information. Was she overreacting? Amelia knew that she had a tendency to emote more than other people, but still, hearing that a machine was [i]alive[/i] wasn't great news. It was lucky Amelia hadn't been involved in the entire Ultron business, otherwise it probably would've been somewhat triggering as well. 

	"Yes, alive," Celestine repeated again, before rolling her eyes. "In my country..." she muttered under her breath, stopping herself before going into a cliché [i]in Soviet Russia...[/i] moment. Her eyelids fluttered slightly and the next thing the trio would know, their ship was up in the air, moving towards the other side of the complex. The other ships began firing at the ground, as if they had seen something down there - like they were completely oblivious to the fact that they were inside the ship. 

	[color=FFB795]"How'd'ya do that?"[/color] Amelia exclaimed. [color=FFB795]"Without them going [i]obviously they knicked the ship, blast it[/i] and all?"[/color]

	"P.H.I.L. did it for us. I asked him nicely to take us to the others and to make sure no one followed," Celestine answered. 

[color=84B4E2][b][i]Compound Exit - Basically everyone now -[/i][/b][/color]

	"Hey, um, I think... I think someone is waiting out there?" Darcy said, gesturing out the exit to where an aircraft was hovering with its boarding ramp lowered, as if waiting for the group to head on out and get inside. It very much had the vibe of an Uber just chilling, waiting for their passenger to realize they had arrived and scramble on outside for the ride. 

	Folly narrowed her eyes with suspicion, very much enjoying the Muramasa blades she had taken. She felt 500% cooler with them. "Are those your people?" she asked no one in particular. She had been hired to escort Raynor to safety and no one else - the Genoshan government had given her very strict instructions on that account. However, Raynor was a god. She figured he was good for the additional fees rescuing this large group would incur. She just hoped her contact in the Blue didn't mind a few extra mouths to feed for the brief layover in that wild, lawless country. She was, of course, amused with all of this talk of another her that was unhinged and violent. 

	[color=d86615]"Uh..."[/color] Raynor was surprised that Sparky just... agreed with him? She never agreed with him. She was clinically unable to agree with him. If he told her the sky was blue, she would scream until her lungs bled that it was actually only an illusion and it was really brown or something. If he said that she looked pretty, she would stab him in the eyes. (Okay, maybe some of that was him thinking about some pregnancy hormone induced moments, but still... ) His wife was [i]stubborn[/i]. Well, his almost-wife. They weren't actually married yet, as much as Raynor often thought of them as already being married. 

	"Anyways, we'll be traveling to the Blue. There's a pair of Genoshan ex-pats there who will provide you all with lodging until the extraction team comes to take you the rest of the way. I will expect all fees to be settled by then," Folly then said pointedly. 

	[i]That[/i] got Raynor out of his own head. [color=d86615]"Right, well... The Genoshan government will pay for everyone's passage, okay? X and Magneto can afford it."[/color] He didn't want to have to direct Folly to New Asgard to collect the funds for this. He didn't want his family knowing that he was back on Earth-257, after all of the shame he had brought to the house of Odin. At least the Genoshans owed him. And they knew what sort of monster he was. If they wanted to pay for him, then they could pay for his friends too.
	
	Bonnie had hesitantly walked to the exit, peering her head out through the small window in the door. She could just [i]barely[/i] make out what looked like Amelia, waving at them from the boarding ramp. She sighed in relief. Oliver and Amelia and Celestine had pulled through then - they had a way to get out of here. And a ship meant resources they could use to figure out what was going on with everyone's memories. And probably a place where they could send Sparky and Raynor off to kill each other. 

	[color=f6989d]"That's our ride,"[/color] Bonnie confirmed, opening up the door and jogging out into the blisteringly cold morning air, climbing up the boarding ramp and into the 'borrowed' aircraft.
