Ronin and Miko listened to what MDP had to say, and Ronin grinned happily as MDP demonstrated the concept of her dream journal.
‘That’s a brilliant idea! Penny is definitely the smartest!’ Ronin said, chuckling a little thinking of the fact all those wires probably actually made Penny the smartest, maybe.
‘Yeah…’ Miko tried to peer into the book, somewhat worried that what MDP wrote down might already be jaded and what she read from her own writing perhaps even more so… But it was nonetheless a good idea, everyone else just needed to take it with a grain of salt, which she hoped everyone already was.
In any case. There wasn’t the time to think too hard about that, it was time to go. Ronin and Miko headed with everyone, and this scene played out before them. First they were somewhat astounded by the design of that factory, nothing needed to make sense here, huh. And then, of course, the fact that they came here and were immediately discovered, that was fun, too. Mad Hatter made his presentation, and the way he killed one of his own to prove a point sure scored him a lot of points, even if it was probably a mindless slave. Maybe.
Regardless, it caused Ronin to frown and look less jovial with a hand on her blade, and Miko on her side likewise.
‘What would happen if we refused to play your game?’ Miko asked.
‘What benefits do we get from playing it? You won’t call the guards? Ronin asked, chuckling a little with a sly smirk. She definitely wanted to behead this person, now.
Then there was Penny moving into action, and a bit more things, but Ronin and Miko are not about to lead in this event, they’re not strong enough for that. What they do will be determined by the next number of posts.

So, with the forces departed, Mariette was considering how to make Janet’s plan work and produce a powerful meteorite that would slam into the enemy forces…
But there was no time for that. A mirror had appeared. A very concerning mirror.
Mariette did not wait for something to happen.
She threw her hands up, trying to open two portals. One went immediately back to their own group that would be infiltrating the enemy base, another to her own army that had just departed the room.
‘Go. Warn them,’ she told Janet with as few words as she could, gesturing to the portal leading to the main team. Given this was inside the Earth Bastion, it was safe to say the enemy had breached even the deepest of their security. Given this was the Earth Bastion, she also figured Penny wouldn’t actually obey her command and possibly wouldn’t leave due to the presence of a new threat, so. That said, she was very much open to Penny also leaving through that portal.
That said, her plan was to then collect whoever was left (with tentacles if they wouldn’t move themselves) and leap through the portal directly to Pea Princess to tell the unfortunate news.
However, there was always the possibility she didn’t get that far.
Mayra is in Mariette’s shadow.
