Thankfully, Mika, Marrie, and Nina were able to keep the myriad slime tentacles from attacking Ashley as she charged up her attack, which struck the slime cylinder and vaporized roughly half of it. However, before she began powering up a second blast to finish the creature off, the Knight of Tomorrow paused as a concerning possibility occurred to her. [color=MediumSpringGreen][i]What if the captives are linked to that thing in some way? Could killing it actually harm them?[/i][/color] She had no idea, but she [i]did[/i] have a way to find out. 

[color=MediumSpringGreen]“Hold on a moment before trying to free anyone from that thing,”[/color] Ashley advised as a smaller orb of neon green energy coalesced between the glowing prongs of her techno-wand. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“I want to make sure it's safe to remove them.”[/color] With that, she fired off a finder pulse at what remained of the slime cylinder, its multi-spectrum diagnostic data acquisition field hopefully granting her some insight into how fully the creature was linked to the captives contained within it.
