>>6016009“-That way not that way! Do you even know how to drive this thing?!” Very quickly you find yourself right behind Marie and shouting orders to her. You act as any dignified princess ought to with clear and concise commands perfectly relayed to your subordinate, “You’re going to crash into the wall! Do you even know where a dock is?!” Perfect directions.
Sadly, through no fault of your own, Marie seems to have completely lost control of the ship in her panic and now you’re hurdling towards a huge and very well-fortified metal wall near full speed. You’d try to wrestle controls away but you have no idea what any button or gizmo actually does and would likely commit more harm than help. However, it isn’t like much more harm could happen than what’s currently taking place. Or so you think until an artillery shell hits the bow and the boat shakes harshly.
There doesn’t seem to be much lasting damage to your tank of a ship but you, along with your other inquisitors, are flown around the cabin for a brief moment. And due to your position right behind the captain’s chair, you find yourself flailing towards the dashboard where a part of yourself that is completely irrelevant to the story at hand manages to press the [BIG RED BUTTON] out of no fault of your own.
[WARNING. SELF-DESTRUCT SEQUENCE INITIATED. WARNING. SELF-DESTRUCT SEQUENCE INITIATED]
The alarm repeats in a loud tone as all the lights in the ship come on a flashing red. You’re pretty sure someone screams but you’re not exactly sure who. Before Asher barks out, “Open the bay doors, now!” To Marie as he helps you up and pushes you towards the stairs.
What happens next is a mad dash towards the opening mouth of the ship as said mouth rushes towards an actual wall. You’re the one leading the way but the others are not far behind you. After all, there is not a plethora of options for anyone to choose from. Jump into the water and maybe live, or stay on the ship and die. If only the skeletons would not take this as an opportunity to shoot inside the boat.
Perhaps, this will be your end, that the tale of Lorina de Lindan will end ignobly in a random explosion. A rather ungraceful way to go in your opinion but you suppose that won’t be your problem soon enough. You continue to run as you enhance your body and speed with just enough concentration to make it to the loading ramp and jump just as the explosion goes off.
