Mao's search for any remains of the enemy pilots proves fruitless. There's not much as an hair or bone inside the wrecks, and even the inner circuits of the unknown machines have been methodically reduced to black dust. There's no visible series numbers on the plating remains either.
Ken's reply to Bahamut has some static noise mixed in:
I'm all right mistress, just some light bruises and burns! The ship bridge took heavy damage and the captain disapeared among the explosions, but the second officer managed to coordinate the crew to perform an emergency landing and they're already working on repairs. You need me to join you?
At Hugo's command, a roughly humanoid blob of red, dripping flesh materializes itself on the nearby ground and drags itself towards the Dome entrance, a massive pair of reinforced metal doors. They open automatically when the summon aproaches, revealing a dimly lit corridor behind barely tall enough to acommodate regular people, the ceiling covered with piping and the walls with unoworking terminals. The doors quickly close back after it has entered. Mao can confirm the illusionary being keeps moving forward for some seconds until it stops, whitout suffering any damage or sudden position change.
