Alicia nodded as Penny confirmed that Penrose was in a tight spot. As she had expected it seemed like most of the action had shifted there while they were busy trying to rescue Mariette. Hopefully it still wasn't too late to stop the Queen's plan.

Her glance was drawn for a moment as an abduction occurred, which Alicia watched before deciding that that was a problem that could be handled later. Or by someone else. She knew nothing about what had happened and preferred that it stay that way.

Then with the opening of a portal the group was able to return to their world. Specifically inside the Bastion. [color=aba000]"Alright, let's get to work,"[/color] Alicia said to no one in particular as she followed Penny through the various halls and to the command center. The large map let them see what was going on, the magic being drained as well as the various forces at work. [color=aba000]"I guess everyone saw the Queen and decided that they wanted to take their shot too,"[/color] she noted. Probably didn't want to get upstaged, or something like that.

She looked over the collected information before sighing. [color=aba000]"So the army is a distraction. They're not trying to stop the magic being drained and 'mirrors' screams Mariette. The only question is whether we can disrupt whatever is going to happen by taking those out, or if we have to to to where they're focusing that magic."[/color] With how their luck was she suspected they had to do the latter, but she wanted to make sure just in case.
