Due to Aurelio’s familiarity with the device, his clone and even an additional pair of hand, it didn’t take all that long to get the relay beacon set up. It took even less to get it synced up with Beacon’s wider teleport network, the perks of being a living node in said network. And once that was done, he made three more basic clones and all six of them went to work. 

One of the magician’s now walking around was turning back towards Connie. Which was good timing as he turned around just in time to get wrapped up in a hug, which he returned on instinct really, [color=fff79a]“Hello there Magical Dream Princess”[/color] He would greet the bubbly girl more directly. And would open his mouth to answer her questions, only to let out a sigh as she had already bounded off to talk to Ronin and Miko.

[color=fff79a]“I’m never quite sure how her and Penny got together”[/color] he would say to himself. Before turning back to the small group that had been holding the civies from doing something ill advised. [color=fff79a]“And pleased to meet you Connie.”[/color] He would say with a soft bow.

Over at the teleporter Beacon one of the Aurelio’s would turn towards Oliver. [color=fff79a]“Thanks for the help with set up by the way.”[/color] He would offer with a tip of his hat. [color=fff79a]“Once we’ve gotten all of them moved out, I can give you a lift out as well if you need it.”[/color] He would offer. It wouldn’t be to HQ with the civies, but getting people back to Penrose was just as easy for him.

With Ronin, Miko and MDP another Aurelio would stroll up. [color=fff79a]“Evening ladies, glad to see more friendly faces.”[/color]

In the background there was an Aurelio helping ferry people up to the teleporter.

The last Aurelio would make his way over to Serenity, and place a calming hand on her shoulder. This Aurelio was quickly revealed to be the real Aurelio as the maid could literally feel her panic drain away from her. Not all of it, but enough to help her keep her calm. He said nothing, but the look on his face was clearly one of concern and questioning.

Outside of town the Pink clone was a bit surprised when the illusion turned to face him. He had been tailing it, but at a distance. Which meant the caster had a really good vantage point over the conflict. His surprise was quickly discarded as he heard the rant that the illusion was building up.

As a clone himself there wasn’t a whole lot he could do, but what he did have at his disposal he started on instantly. As ‘Suwako’ had turned back towards the Queen of Hearts, Aurelio brandished his cane in her direction [color=fff79a]“Yeah, Illusions and blaming Beacon really original. Let’s see what you look like under the glamor shall we?”[/color] He’d ask and let his own magic roll forth. 

Now as a Clone his magical skill was limited, and technically not in the realm of illusions. That was an Original Aurelio exclusive. But he was a mote of [color=#DE8CC5][b]Confusion[/b][/color] and still knew about illusion magic. So, while he couldn’t break the illusion he could scramble the one that he knew was there. Causing it the begin looking and sounding like everyone and anyone all at the same time. 

The Clone grit it’s teeth in focus and poured everything it had into the disruption, if he was really luck it might even destabilize and fall apart. But even if it didn’t, He was still visibly trying to take down the illusion. Perception meant a lot when it came to politics. Just a shame he’d not likely be able to escape to tell the original what was going on over here.

The Engine had to admit the fact that her opponent had stalled in her attack was a surprise. It was a display of humanity that she had assumed was out of character. Though if it was because her shield was more valuable than first expected, or actually due to the opposing queen’s morals was hard to quantify at this juncture.

Either way it was advantageous. As each moment spent doing nothing helped the Engine recover just a bit more. Or as was more accurate to the current situation kept her from falling more apart. So, stalling outright was something she was fine with. After all she only needed a little bit more time.

Speak of the devil… 

The Engine was glad she was already smiling, she is unsure if she would be able to stifle the urge if she wasn’t.
 [color=9e0039][i][s]‘Things feel so bizarre right now…why is that?’[/s][/i][/color] 
But now she had to find a way to guarantee she had those seconds. Shock would be a good was to ensure it. Snap the Dormouse’s neck and take her head off. That would buy her the time she needed.

Before she could start with her next set of actions however, Snoopy pinged herabout someone else coming up on the fight. The fact that it was Suwako was a more than a little confusing, The Engine could recall the small party thrown in the druidic girls honor when she got reassigned.

Her being here and now was either enemy action or very bad. Her belief of such started leaning into the enemy action category when Aurelio also made an appearance and the subsequent Gravity spell that was fired off cemented it.

But it was also brilliantly timed for her own needs. 

The Engine dropped all of her currently running augments, and poured as much magic of her own into the surprise attack being launched on the Queen of Hearts. Amplifying it’s event horizon and its [color=9e0039][b]Importance[/b][/color] as far as she could. At the same time, she reduced her own significance as far as she could same with her captive.


Suddenly no one could pay attention to The Engine, not next to the gravitational assault that was roaring towards the Queen of Hearts. So, whatever it was she did next no one saw.

The one fact would be, that when the dust settled, The Queen of Penrose was gone. And with her the Dormouse.

Both Ellen and Tina would take a moment to themselves to catch their breath when all of the evacuees fell back asleep. What had caused it neither of them were immediately aware of but were thankful nonetheless.

The answers to their various questions were answered swiftly as the evacuations started actually taking place. They would assist in ferrying people up to safety for a bit, but they were obviously uncomfortable with the Beacon presence. 

They would quietly murmur to each other and themselves often, but never close enough or loud enough for others to overhear. Eventually they would split off from each other, each of them seeking out someone else.

Tina would approach Alicia “You are Paladin Seraph Alicia, yes?” She would more state than ask. “The Queen of Penrose has requested that I pass along this to you.” She would state before removing the rather advanced ear piece she had on and hand it over to her. The moment that Alicia took it Tina would leave, making her way over to her sister.

Ellen on the other hand would approach Kiyome. “Hiya, sorry if I have the wrong person, but you ran into the Queen of Penrose out there right? She was the machine girl.” She would ask. “She wanted me to pass this off to you.” She would go on to say as she held out a rather sophisticated looking ear piece. Once Kiyome took it. Ellen too would take her leave.

Once the sisters met back up the went back to helping evac people.

[color=9e0039][u][i]“I hear things have gotten a bit more complicated back in the city”[/i][/u][/color] Penny’s voice would come out of the head set, carrying the same crisp tone it did last time they talked. [color=9e0039][u][i]“Though not all for the bad, my offer for an evac is still open if you need it. And this is going to be the easier way to stay in contact as I’m a bit occupied at the moment.”[/i][/u][/color]
