Lizzie moved one of its mechanical hands, balling into a fist and pointing at Cellica. "I'll have you know this is peak Tivven engineering! This things not failing ever! Not on my watch! I made it to [i]last![/i]" The dull thudding sound of Amalie patting Lizzie like a pet would catch Khalisa's attention, one of the mechs arms moving and shooing the elf away like she was some sort of pest or too curious animal herself. "Oi hands off the goods, elf. Lizzie is a delicate girl and only I can touch her delicate bits." "Ahaha, Khalisa did what she could to support it. Digging out too much or changing it too drastically was difficult." Otelius laughed softly. "We are entirely unsure what hazards exactly exist in that direction. The mana makes it difficult to use remote observation scripts and it completely rendered any drones useless as well - to say nothing of it interfering with both scripts and executables both making them harder to control." He nodded towards Anette. "As miss Anette has suggested, I can easily weave a script enough to shield us once we're ready to go in. If we can find the source, supposing its something easy enough we can cut it off and it should take care of that." He puased slightly. "Ah, and if you're unfamiliar with with the effects of heavy mana, well...at best, it simply corrodes electronics interfere with wireless signals. At worst it corrupts and causes...hm, the easiest way I can describe it as errors in programming. For us more organic beings, well...uh, people can get errors too." "What he means is, it'll cause us to go boom. At best." Khalisa rather bluntly and perhaps inelegantly explained. "Khalisa and I have decided that She'll be going through the ground level entrance here while my talents will be suited to helping deal with that Mana problem. Also, just before we head in. A bit of new gear for everyone." Otelius picked up a box from a nearby crate of supplies. "Comms devices. Bianca has worked on them herself, so they're pretty good. Longer range than previous ones and a bit more durable. Should help everyone keep in contact and I'm sure Monique will be keeping in touch." Opening the box would reveal rather simple looking ear pieces that fit around ones ear - a malleable design made of flexible metal that could be adjusted to fit comfortably around elvish or human ears. "And keep open mics, please, in case anything sudden happens. So...any volunteers for either route?"
