While the allies in the chamber with Ashley succeeded in keeping the slime tendrils away from her, this assistance was more than counteracted by the actions of an ostensible ally outside the ship causing her overcharged shot to miss its intended target. [color=MediumSpringGreen][i]Damn it![/i][/color] The Knight of Tomorrow swore as she was flung across the chamber just as she was about to fire. Although the attack [i]did[/i] succeed in vaporizing even more of the slime, perhaps even fatally wounding the creature, hardly any of the captives had been freed. The vast majority were still within the remains of the decaying slime, very possibly beginning to suffocate, now that the creature seemed to be dead. As soon as Ashley was able to reorient herself, she prepared to make a second attempt at freeing them, when Dan dropped down from the ceiling and instructed the gathered espers to do just that.

[color=MediumSpringGreen]“You heard him!”[/color] Ashley told the others, even as she began dragging one of the captives out of the slime. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“And put them all close together!”[/color] she added as her techno-wand began charging up once more. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“I need to purge the slime from their lungs!”[/color] 

At least one of the former captives had woken up and begun asking questions, but the Knight of Tomorrow knew that any Q&A sessions would have to wait. Not only was the ship still tilting and shuddering violently, it was starting to come apart at the seams, with seawater beginning to rush in. If they didn’t wrap things up soon, then they were all very likely going to drown.

Once all the unconscious captives had been placed in close proximity, Ashley would tap the center point of the group with the glowing tip of her instrument, sending forth a burst of neon green energy that would, hopefully, annihilate the last remnants of slime still inside their bodies.
