She hasn't spoken up the entire time. Zooble and Pomni argue in front of her and she doesn't have anything to add to the conversation. Everyone wants out, right? Everyone wants to leave?
But maybe Pomni has a point, this could be a trap. There could be something to this.
Maybe Jax was right and this was just an adventure?
She fiddles with the tips of her ribbons and looks between the two speaking. At her back, Ragatha is equally concerned.
The sound of heavy breathing comes rushing by and suddenly she's holding Zooble up and Jax is at the console and Jax is pressing a button-
Oh good, the blue button. She and Zooble look at each other, a bit surprised but she can see the relief in Zooble's eyes.
Her body starts to shake and hum in the familiar way that means Caine is teleporting them. Is this it? Is this how they get out?
Or is this a trick?
The shaking and humming and buzzing and whizzing is getting stronger and stronger and her ribbons become a blur of red. Teleportation doesn't hurt like this, what's going on?!
It hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts!
It's getting so hot and her face feels like it's melting. Her mask chitters and shatters into particles and bits of data.
All around her she can see the others' models are falling apart and glitching and warping-
Caine is here! No no no, Caine will stop the escape, Caine won't let them leave-
Caine snaps those white gloved fingers repeatedly and looks at Kinger-
She looks down at the sprinkling sparkling specks of Zooble and screams but she can't scream she can't make any noise she doesn't have a mouth she doesn't have a model is she even alive-
Gangle wakes up.
