Hornet returns to Deepnest, before she will flee to Pharloom.

Summary
They went down one by one, their fuel soaking into the already-saturated ground, and as the last one, rendered headless now, swayed, it lunged after it. Its hands dug into the organic parts ripping so it could drink, shoving it down to the floor. Fuel. It used the knuckleblaster to pry at the metal plating. The blinking faults in its back mended just as fast.
Another beep and something hard connected directly with the back of its head.
It was sent sprawling, half-sinking into the thin layer of meat webbing the otherwise iron floor. The barrel of a revolver pressed up under its head when it turned its head to face its attacker. V2.
[[Also titled: What if V2 wanted to get its arm back sooner?]]

Summary
Light streaked behind the angel’s wing-tips. The light he radiated blazed as he neared. He was terrifying in all his glory. He wasn’t passing overhead, but instead was losing altitude again. They took a small step backwards when the figure tilted until he was undeniably flying toward the ferry.
Idly, they noted he wasn’t exactly slowing down as he approached their ferry. In fact, he seemed to be speeding up.
Hm.
They trusted his judgment, of course they did. He was the Judge, after all. His word was the word of God, infallible in its reasonings.
They simply did not want to intrude on his personal space, so they backed up until they were pressed back to the quarterdeck. They did not wish to be blinded, even momentarily, by his illustrious radiance either, for that would be extremely inconvenient and perhaps painful, so they raised their oar to partially obscure their skull.
