[/hider][/center] Ani had no idea what the queen was going on about. The words that she was spouting out would have taken too many tokens to process properly, something she was finding to happen more and more as she spent time in Penrose. In some ways, this was not the craziest thing to have happened. Even as far off objects were rendered into words and paper, it really just felt like more of what she expected. Though something that the super sophisticated AI had not counted on, something that truly surprised her, was Alice coming to her for help. She couldn’t remember talking to this woman ever, or what made her think rocketing somewhere was safe or even plausible. But Ani immediately cast that idea out of her head when she remembered who was talking to her. This was Alicia Hayden. If she thought that a rocket was the best way to get somewhere, then there would be no more questions. [color=cfff04]"Okay, I typically don’t do this for people under rank 3, but given the situation…"[/color] Because Alicia wasn’t missile shaped, she would not fit in her launcher. But the biggest rocket Ani had was part of her hammer. So she lowered the head of the hammer onto the rood and held the handle like a joystick. Because the hammer was made to be retardedly big, it was possible for Alicia and Ani to stand on it. She helped Alicia stand between herself and the hammer’s handle. This meant that Ani had to reach under Alicia’s arms. She assumed Alicia was going to shoot at something, but couldn’t be sure. All she wanted to know was if she could be rocketed somewhere, so that was what Ani was setting up. [color=cfff04]"There’s no seatbelt, so grab onto something if you think you might fly off!"[/color] There wasn’t a lot of room for Ani’s feet, and after thinking about it, the thrusters would likely blow out from under her feet. So she wrapped her legs around the haft of the hammer too, which also meant her legs were crossing over Alicia’s hips. She didn’t bother commenting on how awkward the arrangement was. This was probably business as usual for seasoned Alicia Hayden. Fortunately, Ani didn’t need to pull a trigger to activate her hammer’s oversized thrusters. With a thought, the thing took off. While Alicia’s intent was never communicated, she needed to rescue the miko twins. Getting close to the miko twins should have put Alicia in close proximity to the queen as well.

But off the side of the building, where Lily and Marriete were falling (along with Dave in pursuit) a Gothizzar Harvester witnessed the group falling. Despite her earlier falling out with Lily, the bony minion seemed to understand they were an important part of securing victory. So he positioned his back where the duo might fall. The heap of bones and sinew that rested on its back wouldn’t make for the safest landing, but had a great deal more give than the concrete floor of the city.

Maybe Su would have done a double take if this was her first day in Penrose. She was pretty sure Alicia’s bow was more effective at range, but assumed there had to be a reason for her to want to get so close. Rather than attack the queen, Su and Mika fired off their magic in a torrent. Water and wind swirling together behind Alicia and her taxi driver. The goal was to make a barrier that could protect them from friendly fire and, if they got close enough, assist Eli and Deni’s escape. Water and wind were flexible elements, and together they made a sort of amorphous blob that would turn into what it needed to when the time came.
