"Damn! How much longer do we have?"
"Estimate... thirteen... seconds... to detonation..."
"Then I guess I'll have to try something." Emily focused on the section of the vehicle that the vacuum had pointed out to her earlier. She created a barrier, but instead of surrounding the whole vehicle, she attempted to only surround that small section, separating it from the rest. The metal Aeon had used for camouflage flew off, and the bomb was plainly visible beneath it.
Alcarith heard the noise behind her, and turned to look. She saw the bomb. Seven seconds remained. She looked around and saw Emily and Eximo some distance away.
That bomb is everyone else's best chance to get out of here, she thought. And there's no way I can get it on anyone else in seven seconds... make that six.
She smashed a hole in the cockpit behind her, then grabbed the bomb. The chunk of Lutherion's flesh fell off it as she did. Four seconds remained.

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
