>>5742847The screen shuts off, and the Ki you thought you locked on to vanishes. Uuuuggghhhh! Your hand lowers from your forehead. “Hold on, we might be able to trace the signal.” Eagalia declares, with her and Zubastik at the consoles.
You kick a bit of scrap metal from the hole in the floor you made in frustration… and it ricochets off a nearby table, up to the ceiling, and knocks down a corpse that had been hanging from it. Right on top of you. Or it would have, had Videl not managed to pull you out of the way at the last moment.
“...Thanks.” you sigh out, shaking your head.
“Don’t thank me just yet.” she replies, as… the corpse moves, because OF COURSE it does. In an instant, Videl delivers a trio of swift kicks that knock the newly awakened zombot through the hole you made. “NOW you can thank me.” she tells you with a grin. You laugh just a little at that.
‘Momma Bird here, Ghost Pepper, were you able to lock on to Mecha-Towa? Over.’ Maple asks.
You sigh deeply. ‘Negative, Momma Bird. Gloating strategy didn’t work. Everything okay with you all? Over.’
‘We’ve been able to get through the worst of it so far, but it’s been more of a struggle than we’d have liked. Over.’
“Found her last location, where she was transmitting that message from.” Eagalia declares. “13 klicks away.”
“But not where she went after that…” Zubastik adds solemnly. “Most likely, she’s already left that location.”
The bird-bot turns back to you all. “Still might be worth tracking it down. It’s close to one of the target locations.”
“Could be another trap.” Raditz grunts. “Might expect us to trail her.”
>A. It’s the only lead we have, and someone as dangerous as that is only to cause more problems in the future>B. We have other locations we need to check off, don’t we? Let’s pass the info along to our allies and see if any of them might want to tackle it>C. We should take a short break and go over what we’ve all been through so far, mom and Pantea’s groups sound like they were going through a lot>D. Eagalia, I tried to keep her distracted and gloating, but… she did bring up something about your “Clan’s prior actions.” What was she talking about?>E. Something else?
