Aeon looked back at the mangled mess of buildings. Now, in front of the appliance store and the restaurant were one of the strange vehicles. Presumably, Nathan was still rummaging through the restaurant, while Alcarith is exploring the appliance store. Aeon headed towards the restaurant.
On the porch Nathan's vehicle was moderately damaged, with a number of skid-marks in the grass. Inside, Aeon could hear arcade sounds in the back. Entering, Aeon could see Nathan struggling to make a highscore in the pinball machine.
Nathan noticed Aeon entering. "Hey, what are you doing here?"
"Just making sure you don't break anything important." Aeon replied, causing Nathan to grimace. Nearby Aeon could see the strange bomb, slowly ticking away.
"I'd keep away from that if I were you."
"I'd like to say the same thing about your knife," Aeon replied.
Approaching the bomb, Aeon used his adaptive tool to pick it up, avoiding touching it directly. It read about 5 minutes. Plenty of time, Aeon thought. He exited the restaurant and landed in front of the appliance store, where Alcarith's strange vehicle was perfectly parked. Aeon pressed the base of his adaptive tool with the bomb on top on the chassis, and covered the bomb in the grey metal. He jammed the camouflaged and muffled bomb into the vehicle, where it looked inconspicuous and made no sound. Don't take it too personally, dragon-girl, Aeon thought, as he made considerable distance from the appliance store, as I said, I am just another participant in this game.
