However, before the Knight of Tomorrow could begin her pursuit, she found herself in the midst of several other espers, who had also boarded the craft via various means. Ashley nodded when Iris advised that they should keep from inflicting too much damage on the ship itself, at least until they’d rescued their captive allies. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“Agreed,”[/color] she told the arachnid-esque young woman an instant before the sound of a violent hull breach reached their ears. Iris gave a few orders to the other Mavericks before turning invisible to scout ahead, with the strange clock-themed woman doing the same after cautioning them not to get shot, something that seemed fairly obvious to the high-tech heroine. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“I can also provide healing in the event anyone sustains major injuries,”[/color] Ashley noted, while making a quick assessment of their little “rescue team”. With Iris and Alice’s departure, six members remained, along with Ashley herself: Cerberus, two Mavericks, one freelancer, and a pair of constructs. Such a group should be sufficient to deal with whatever adversaries awaited them as they set about conducting their search, the Knight of Tomorrow reflected. Even so, she knew it would be foolish in the extreme to discount the possibility of unpleasant surprises. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“Let’s not be too hasty,”[/color] the high-tech heroine advised as she cautiously moved forward. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“I know time is of the essence, but we don’t want to carelessly rush into any traps,”[/color] she added, dropping to one knee in order to grant her energy shield better coverage, while aiming her techno-wand at one of the slime creatures occupying the next chamber and firing off an energy bolt. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“For now, we should focus on eliminating [i]these[/i] things!”[/color]
