Penny once again was not able to simply stand down once the fight had concluded. She scattered her senses far as she searched her dominan quickly. She only returned her attention to Finn when she was relatively sure that things had actually calmed down. She was just in time to hear as he read the note aloud. 

[color=9e0039][u][b]“I’ve got nothing.”[/b][/u][/color] She would admit after a moment. Eyes distant as she sifted through what parts of Beacon’s database she had copied. Not that anything she had saved was of much use to her at the moment. For all of her skill and power Penny was still only a basic Beacon member, a grunt, as such her access to some of the deeper parts of the Beacon database was locked.

And that wasn’t even considering the Ascendency adding their own checks and balances on top.

[color=9e0039][u][b]“Did you happen to catch anything from the perp who left the letter?”[/b][/u][/color] She would ask, with luck there was more to go on than just a vaguely threatening letter and a potential title of ‘Wonderland’. [color=9e0039][u][b]“Ominous monologue, eye-catching insignia, picture?”[/b][/u][/color]

She hoped that there was more that Fin and Oliver had seen, but even if they didn’t this wasn’t something she was going to keep quiet from Beacon. From there she hoped they knew more and were willing to share.

Penny would also nod an acknowledgement to Dina as the cat girl stepped into the factory. Dina’s appearance was a welcome one, Penny wouldn’t have sent out the three she did if her intel hadn’t been faulty. The Regent deciding to get involved was a blessing in that regard.


They would need to convene soon. The Sanctuary needed to be moved somewhere safer, or its defenses increased. Penny had her own ideas on how to do that, some already in motion, but Dina might also have some ideas and the Queen would take all the help she could get when it came to protecting the Sanctuary.

Still shrouded in her holographic armor, energy blades coating her fingers, Penny waited and planned. She could feel the storm on the horizon after all.

Even as Penny focused on the mystery that was who had tried to stir up trouble in her home she set aside a decent part of her processing power to check in with Beacon.

[color=9e0039][i]‘Elora’[/i][/color] Penny would message to the Ascendency’s second in command. [color=9e0039][i]‘Industrial sector has been cleared but complications were, and are, rife. Will explain more later, right now I need info on Beacon patrol that got sent over here. I’ve got bodies.’[/i][/color]

Over with MDP Snoopy was quietly observing everything that was going on, compiling a number of data points for his owner. 

The little drone for the most part didn’t have the capacity to fully experience and understand emotions, but his bond with Penny did allow him more room in that regard than most drones. Due to that he did enjoy MDP’s company, partly because she liked to gush about him when she caught sight of him but mostly her presence smoothed out Penny’s processes notably.

Snoopy liked Penny. She kept him safe, but never forgot about his primary directive. One she was happy to find new ways for him to make use of.

Thus Snoopy was lightly distressed to see MDP distressed, not enough to ping Penny, but enough to narrow his focus to that conversation. The distress passed quickly for both MDP and Snoopy, but the little drone touched down on MDP’s shoulder anyway. Letting her know that Penny was still here if she was needed.

[color=#159D86]“We get it,”[/color] Ashlyn would say softly. [color=#159D86]“So does the Queen. That's why she opened her home to all of us. Her highness is unlike anyone I’ve met.”[/color] She would go on to say with a huff of subdued amusement. [color=#159D86]“That living bolt of lightning that dropped in before racing off was her, and if I know her the only reason she didn’t stick around is because she found more monsters lurking around somewhere and went to deal with them personally.”[/color]

“She cares” Belladonna would chime in “She understands us, because she has been where we have been, and doesn't judge us for what we had to do to survive.” She vividly remembered her own close encounter with the Queen.

[color=#FD0E14]“She will gladly accept any help you are willing to give”[/color] Monica would say. As she once again started escorting everyone to the Sanctuary. [color=#FD0E14]“But the Queen doesn’t ask for anything other than to not bring more danger to the Sanctuary. She wants it to be a shelter for us when we need it, nothing more.”[/color]

[color=#FD0E14]“She’s a dreamer and an optimist”[/color]

[color=#159D86]“But she’s got the strength to back it up”[/color]

[color=fff79a]”Always happy to help”[/color] Aurelio stated with a bow and tip of the hat. Or at least one of his clones stated. The real Aurelio was stuck in marshmallow hell, which wasn’t exactly an unfortunate place to be, but trying to extract himself politely was something of a challenge.

[color=fff79a]“Though I’m curious who knows her”[/color]  The same clone would ask gazing off in the direction the dark winged Valkyrie had flown away. [color=fff79a]”I mean I’m pretty sure I saw her at the Christmas party, so someone in Penrose knows who she is.”[/color]

[color=fff79a]“Think they are just bad at people?”[/color] Asked another clone, though it wasn’t hard to tell they doubted the question even as they asked it. Never let it be said Aurelio didn’t take his Vow seriously.

[color=fff79a]“ Who knows”[/color] The first clone replied [color=fff79a]“But hey it’s still a win for us. No casualties after all!”[/color]
