There was suddenly quite a lot of slack to Apexer's chain. It was bad enough that Marrie's secondary target had been able to hold her back, and worse still that her melody hadn't traveled through the chain as she'd wished, but that was a learning opportunity. Less of one was her being surrounded again by the smoke that was draining her strength. Less still was seeing the barely-breathing form of one of the construction workers. 

And like a bullet to the temple, memories that she'd hoped she'd properly worked through and buried came back. She saw herself struggling against the ape-men. She felt the pain of her left arm and face being sliced, of her jaw slamming into the ground. The regret of having to kill the ape who caused her fall, the horror of just seeing the queen bee, let alone of stabbing her and being stuck in the disgusting arms of hers as it coughed up blood and died. The sight of the smeared viscera that had once been bee men under the bulldozer. The last memory to show itself was of the driver of the crane, a corpse with its head mangled some sort of magitech keeping it functioning. 

The thoughts were weighing her down almost as much as the magical smoke was, but there was a single silver lining to the system shock... That now Marrie was really, fully ready to kill these people.

The thing about stones, when they're thrown, is that they're not especially fast. Lucky then that time wasn't a factor in what she was trying to do. Apexer's chain snapped back into its shortest length as a dust devil shot from it towards the ground, only to bounce around the room a few times and out the door, taking most of the smoke with it. Good thing she knew her angles. And now that she could see again, she ran as quickly as she could towards the strange generator in the center of the building, passing right by Justin. She slid around the apparently holy machine and rolled to her feet on the opposite side of the entry door, barely poking her head up over it to take stock of the situation.
