Jess had been slowly setting up an attack on all the tanks and gunships designed to cause as much damage as possible. The tanks were each going to receive a half pound bolt traveling at nearly four times the speed of sound down their gun barrels to detonate the rounds clambered. The gunships were each going to receive half pound bolts into the clustered rocket munitions slung to the hard points. Her next move would have involved attacking clustered troops with sections of chain link fences that surrounded the Head Quarters.
Her preparations were nearly complete when Tia in Drifter's observation committed an attack without warning almost setting her into an attack mode which was uncalled for. Lucky for all those assembled Jesse's training kicked in preventing her from committing a provocative action.
Then all the adrenaline she'd gathered an held back was for naught as there was a stand down.
So as all the other Meta broke off to do whatever it was that they did Jesse felt cast adrift. All the anger, all the pain, the sense of loss came tumbling back in on her. Without direction or danger to focus on Drifter's frustration converted to a cold rage. The Mundanes had come to kill her, to remind her of her slavery; to remind her that she was a monster.
She began drawing back all the various magnetic focus points she'd been setting up till she felt the pressure of the high energy particles bombarding the Van Allen high up beyond the atmosphere.
She reached out with her senses and summoned her Star Child Armor which flew to her as her pink flight suit flew off her leaving her clad in only her spandex under clothes. Then the specially designed extra-atmospheric armor clothed her the last piece her helmet dropping down over her tear streaked cheeks.
Sealed Star Child coiled all the gathered power she'd gathered into the most powerful gauss launch ever recorded.
Jesse's magnetic control internalized controlling her iron rich red blood cells against pooling and causing her to blackout as she climbed at 12 gravities of force 4 Xs the G- forces that most launches experience.
A streamlined field of iron dust common around most cities forms as a shield ahead of her allowing her to draft in it's shadow at super sonic speeds
Below her people hear the sound of multiple sonic booms and some look up and notice an arrow straight vapor trail heading up not knowing it's cause
Minutes later Star Child breaks out of the atmosphere and into the black sky. Once more she drifts over 175 miles above the earth alone with her pain, alone as she's always been.
"Where are you father, do you even still live? Is this my true home? Is this where I belong, alone in the lifeless expanse of space?" she cries as she curls up into a ball
