To Ashley’s great relief, not only was she able to remove the slime from the remaining captives’ lungs, but the rest of the abductees had apparently been able to free themselves. And not a moment too soon, as the ship was rapidly falling apart around them, even as it began to sink beneath the waves. Marrie promptly created an escape route, which Mika ordered everyone to take, before running after the bluenette, who had apparently decided that this was a perfect time to go exploring. Ashley was about to chase after her, when the ceiling began to collapse, only to be braced by a melody, courtesy of Billy Black. Despite him being the monstrous leader of an ostensible terrorist organization, the Knight of Tomorrow couldn’t help but appreciate the gas-masked giant’s quick thinking. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“Thanks,”[/color] she told him with a genuine smile.

By this point, most of the captives had passed through the portal, but a visibly panicking Dan had chosen to chase after Marrie. Once the last captive had escaped, Ashley called to everyone on the other side of the portal, [color=MediumSpringGreen]“I’m going to go check on the others!”[/color] before racing off to do just that. She had always planned on being the last to leave, in order to ensure that no one was left behind, and she refused to depart with the disaster-prone Marrie and the youngest member of her team still aboard.

When the high-tech heroine finally caught up with them, she gasped at the sight of dozens of additional gelatinous Penny facsimiles oozing out of a chamber Marrie had apparently opened. However, Ashley didn’t even have time to groan in exasperation at the consequences of Marrie’s latest poor choice, as the ship’s structural integrity was now almost nonexistent. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“We have to leave!”[/color] the Knight of Tomorrow told the remaining stragglers. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“Now!”[/color]
