Coco, White moon guardian cat, Human form, XAction: Coco was confused by this magic for heal, but she did as she was told. Coco considered the matter of being a chibi. "Well you were awakened very early I'm assuming whoever awakened you had a good reason to do so, I've never awakened a chibi myself.. I haven't done much awakening.. if any so far." She screwed up her face in thought. "I need to help more senshi upgrade their powers.. as for leaving being a chibi behind I think he has to do with you being old enough to handle the magic.." She said pondering the question. "I'd have to check with an older guardian cat to be sure." She paused "Yea being a human is weird." She said still standing in human form since everything had happened so fast that it hadn't been an hour since she had turned into a human. "I can give you my phone information and I can help you as much as I can and sure we can stay and help clean up." Coco said nodding firmly. She heard Tea cry out for someone. "Who are you trying to find?" She asked looking around once the dust had settled.

Princess Cybele
Action: Trying to save Danube, floating into space herself, not having a great time. Roll: 1+1 = 2 Oh. That was. That was the ceiling. That was those around her, being sucked out with it. Steins and Heirapolis had each other, still, but Danube was being sucked away, even as Cybele reached out to her. It was only half a second later that Cybele realized that she was being sucked away, too. Her feet were off the ground. Her feathers were being ruffled in the anti-gravity wind. Then she was flipping head over heels and she screamed. She flapped her wings. She strained them. She didn't know how to fly. She'd accepted the power that came with being a Princess, but she'd never tried using her wings before. She didn't want to fly. She didn't want to fly. She saw the ground below. It was so far down. She saw Siegfried and the others and so many bugs and then her vision was blurring. Was it from tears, or was it because she wasn't breathing? She hated this. She'd always hated this. Her wings were still working, though, as she flapped them behind her, too-fast from panic. Her fingertips still brushed against someone else's. Danube's.

Corporal NaeriaAction: Holding tight to the kosopods. Roll: 4 No. Not even the ceiling giving out was going to keep Naeria from holding onto her kosopods. Luckily, it seemed like as the gravity halted, people were more focused on finding stability than they were in trying to harm any bugs, but Naeria did not want to take any chances with the three that were under her protection. She jerked under the lack of gravity, and lost her footing for a moment, but she was able to kick off of one of the boxes so that she could manuver herself to where the museum had more of a dropped ceiling. She tucked herself into a corner, curled her knees to her chest to better protect the kosopods, and watched the humans and their actions for this vantage point.

Eternal Chariklo
Roll: 2
Action: Trying to wrangle kosopods, being sucked out into space and feeling Humbled
In spite of the bruises that she was sure covered her from hip to knee, Chariklo was still trying to find some way of controlling the kosopods that tried to swarm her. They seemed more confused than angry, which she attributed to the lack of gravity. And not that the gravity was coming back, they were still a little out of it. Yeeting one that had floated a little too close to her face for comfort, Chariklo glanced up and watched as Ida’s arrow struck just off of where it had been aimed. s**t. So much for an easy win.
But it was the queen’s reaction that caused the most concern. As the building around them trembled and metal shrieked, she could only barely hear Almadel’s panicked voice, but couldn’t make out the words. Not that it mattered, ultimately, as everything went to hell very, very fast.
She watched as the queen broke through the acid covered walls, held for a moment and then was sucked into space. For a moment, Chariklo felt like they could rest and consider this a win. Only, she quickly felt herself moving towards the hole in the wall, saw kosopods and people and things already flying through. As much as she tried to scrabble backwards, the pull was unmistakable and as she was pulled through and out into space, she was certain that she’d seen Ida go through mere seconds before.
Keeping herself as limp and flexible as possible to keep from being hurt by debris, Chariklo floated in space. Spinning and drifting lazily, she was struck by the sheer beauty of everything beyond the faintly blue, cracked shield. This was space as she never could have experienced on Earth or even from her own planet. Without thinking, her hand went up as if wanting to briefly touch the vibrantly colored and wheeling galaxies above.
Tears leaked from her eyes as she realized just how tiny she was out here. Just one little senshi. She drank in the blue sun and glittering stars while she could. The cracked shield was a concern, but she chose to trust Almadel. It wasn’t his fault that he’d been invaded by voracious space bugs, after all. And if it was her time to go, well, at least she’d gotten to see all this.
Still, she really hoped that a little rescue would be happening soon.

Corrupt Sailor AscheraDie Roll: 1 Action: You are the unfortunate victim of a very powerful current that drags you right into space. It’s not an easy trip; you may wind up getting bumps and bruises along the way, or having another unpleasant run in with a Kosopod. You are sucked outside of the building and sent tumbling in empty gravity. If you’re lucky, you may be able to stabilize yourself. You can still breathe, and it just feels like you’re floating in water. It’s easy to get dizzy from the sudden, extreme movement. You may avoid being sucked out into space by grabbing onto something or someone, though this will be very difficult and you may hurt yourself in the process.She might've tolerated the space bugs. He might've tolerated zero gravity. She might've tolerated a lot of things, and was, even now, just barely managing to tolerate everything that was happening. It'd come with bruises and a whole lot of irritation and frustration and fascination, but all in all it'd been... tolerable. Workable. The situation could be twisted in Aschera's favor, is what he was still barely maintaining a hold on.
Getting sucked into the vacuum of space was something she was definitely not going to tolerate, but it wasn't really looking like she had a lot of options as far as avoiding it went. Lovely! There was just absolutely nothing like having zero agency over what happened to her in the face of the uncaring obliterative force of the universe, really, was there?
"Please," Aschera said, in the tone of someone who knew what was right about to happen was going to be deeply unpleasant, and was immediately dragged out of the museum into space by gravity before he could say anything else.
... It really was beautiful. It... well. She might've appreciated it more if her head wasn't spinning and there wasn't still the risk of dying in space, but this was a view that maybe nobody on Earth had ever seen before now. This was the sort of view that made people wax poetic without further prompting.
[1191/1000]============ Eternal Corrupt ChrysocollaDie Roll: 3 + 1 (rolled a 4 last round) = 4 Action: Luck is on your side. Not only do you avoid the debris suddenly being hurled out of the hole in the wall, you are also in a safe, secure place that allows you to do whatever you think is appropriate. From where you are, maybe you are able to rescue someone else, or save some priceless artifacts from being hurled away. You may have access to some rope that allows you to reach someone who has been sucked out of the museum....

Eternal Bestla
Roll: 4 + 1 = 5
Action: Doing her best to save people and artifacts
For the rest of her life, Bestla knew that she would always wonder how she’d managed to luck out and avoid the worst events of this little foray. Sure, she’d been trampled by a big, angry bug and had smaller versions bite and spit acid at her. But she’d kept her footing when the gravity went off and now she’d managed to find herself behind enough of a little inner wall to avoid being sucked out into the wild blue yonder.
The queen fighting and shrieking combined with the awful scream of failing metal would probably haunt her for a long time. Seeing the queen take out a wall that opened everything up to space would definitely give her nightmares for a bit. But the shield outside was still holding from what she could gather. And though she could feel the pull, she was safe where she was.
But others were not and she couldn’t stay cowering in safety while other people, bad or not, were at risk of being lost to Space.
She saw a struggling person go by and reached out, grabbing their hands and pulling. Okay, one down and how many to go? She managed to n** a few more out of harm’s way, but her little alcove was getting a bit… cozy. And she could imagine Almadel losing his s**t over all his things floating off into the void.
With a sigh, she crept around the edges of the place, doing her best to stay out of the way of the pull all while grabbing bits and bobs and people as she went. What they needed was a big net to put across the hole to keep everything inside. But it didn’t look like Almadel had ever collected anything like that. And how were they supposed to get the people who’d already been sucked out back in?
She really hoped that the merchant had some trick up his sleeve to help the people outside the walls. She couldn’t see him being very welcome on Earth again if he didn’t.

Nis Squire
Roll: 2 - 1 = 1
Action: Slamming into people and artifacts as she’s pulled into space
People attacking and hurting the queen, even in decreased gravity should have been a good thing. Take her out of the picture and the kosopods should have calmed down and allowed for a more orderly clean up.
Instead, everything was going haywire and Nis had just barely gotten her lungs to cooperate with the rest of her body when she felt everything around her tremble and shake. Oh, that can’t be good, she thought, mere seconds before she heard the unmistakable scream of metal failing and Almadel’s voice calling for them to stop the queen.
Managing to roll onto her side and prop herself up for a second, Nis watched in horror as the wall simply caved away. The queen fought valiantly to stay inside, but ultimately, she was sucked out into space. And before Nis could really process that, she felt her body pulled forward with a force she couldn't fight. Spinning and tumbling, she felt her body collide with all manner of things, human or otherwise. At one point, she nearly took an angry kosopod to the face, but only managed to avoid it by jerking her entire body out of the way. Of course, that resulted in her knocking into one of Almadel’s ******** treasures, but she’d rather bruises than acid burns.
Once out into space, the force of her unwilling exit had her spinning to the point where dizziness had taken hold and refused to let go. She’d gotten the briefest glimpse of a cracked shield and beautiful fields of stars before she’d needed to slam her eyes shut to keep from puking everywhere. She could still breathe and she was floating along and things around her felt calmer. But until the spinning in her head stopped, she wasn’t opening her eyes or moving.

Lt TurquoiseRoll: 2 -1 Action: Floating in space, having very little hope for surviving It was such chaos. Kosopods were attacking left and right, not really caring about the alignment. They were trying to attack Turquoise as well but she swiftly managed to dodge most of their attempts getting only a small bite here and there. It hurt but it was nothing compared to the terror she felt a moment after. Her tiny body was violently lifted up in the air as the vacuum succumbed her outside the museum, just like many of them. No. This can't be happening.Lieutenant Turquoise didn't want to die. Not like this. Not in space. Maybe in battle it would be honorable but drifting away in empty space like this? This wasn't the way Turquoise wanted to die. Sure, the view was beautiful but that was about it. Given up any hope for survival, the lieutenant closed her eyes and silently prepared herself to death to claim her, maybe this time for real.

Corrupt Ilmare
Roll: 4 + 1 = 5
Action: Rescuing artifacts
This, Ilmare through as she watched in mingled shock and horrified amusement as the Queen Kosopod took out an entire wall, is some wild ******** s**t. She’d been so close to a pillar that when she saw the wall go, she’d instinctively balled herself up and tucked herself up against it. Fortunately, that had seemingly been the right move because she’d stayed inside and not gotten battered.
Unfortunately, it also meant that she couldn’t really move too far if she wanted to stay inside. Still, she saw a way to ingratiate herself with the merchant, provided he didn’t leave them all to their fates for allowing the queen to damage the wall. All around her was a floating stream of items. Plucking and picking artifacts from the air, Ilmare had to force herself to gather and not examine. She’d even managed to hook some of the bigger pieces and pull them into her little hoard.
She felt guilty for not helping people but there were others better positioned for that than her. At the moment, there was only so much she could do.

Corrupt Eternal FafnirRoll: 4 + 1 = 5 (lucky boy, safe and able to help others) Action: Trying to help Tama and keep them both inside the museum Everything was going to hell in a hand basket, and Fafnir was NOT here for it.
He's managed to keep Tama from floating away, thankful his brother managed to keep his footing even if others on the team were not so lucky. Squashing bugs became a secondary consideration to simply keeping themselves together and stable. What the <********> was Almadel doing? He needed to hurry it up and get that s**t sorted out...
Cat pressed to his chest, he watched with growing horror as the queen Kosopod began to thrash and tear apart the wall she clung to... exposing the lot of them to the vacuum of space. It least she had the good sense to get herself sucked out for her trouble, but now they all had the very real danger of joining her. Fafnir felt the pull on his clothes and hair, and the cat in his arms, and grabbed tighter despite the flailing and claws cutting bloody lines in his bare arms.
"God DAMMIT!" Fafnir barked as he firmed his grip and all but stuffed Tama under his arm, ducking behind a large display case that seemed to be well attached to the floor. It kept him and Tama from being swept out with a lot of others, but he was not at all confident in the safety of their position.

Heliodor, Corrupt Super Senshi of RyutouACTION: Getting ripped out into space.
Helodor didn't really even have time to think about what was happening. He saw the queen Kosopod running around in between his efforts to stay on the ground while smashing the smaller creatures. Almadels warning rang loudly, but what were they doing to do? It happened too quickly and Helodor was one of the unlucky sucked out within one breath and the next. He tried to reach out for something. Anything, but was unsuccessful in each attempt. Anything he could grab was also heading out with him.
Surprisingly space was hospitable. He could breath even if he felt very disoriented. Fighting himself took a moment or two until he got the hang of absolute 0 gravity.
If he were honest to himself, it was an experience wow unlike anything he'd ever seen before. It was actually SPACE. The goodness of it was both inspiring and terrifying. He was very well aware how dead he'd be if it weren't for the shield around them. He was also very well aware how poorly that spells seemed to be doing. "Damnit."

Magnus, Corrupt MauvianACTION: Too tiny to be of any use as an anchor for anyway.
Magnus was lucky. Whatever it was that kept him in place when the wall opened up he didn't know. Likely the fritzy gravitational technology is he was too take a guess. But, this time, he want about to complain. The grey feline knew he'd be a very small cat in the very large expanse of space. Cups though he was too see it properly, he was not death wish curious.
He instead prepped himself up onto his Kosopod box. The creature inside made noises of distress. The only sign the thing was still alive. The feeling crotched on it, blue eyes darting around for those of the team.

Botein, Super Senshi of AmuletsCurrent Dice Roll: 4 - 1 = 3 (You are nearly sucked out of the museum and propelled into space.) Action: Clinging to a pillar like a baby marsupial ((WC 976))Things quickly went from her trying to not only keep her little ‘top of a display case’ shelter clear of the kosopods and looking for a higher spot to take shelter from, to much, much worse. Soon she wasn’t scrambling to get higher but to stay lower as she started to float! She wasn’t the only one either. Others were in the same boat, as were countless little things, a few of the more moderately sized items, and even the kosopods themselves! If it hadn’t been so sudden, chaotic, or technically dangerous because of all the debris also floating, Botein would have enjoyed herself. As it was she was struggling to hold onto a nearby column so she wasn’t at least floating in the middle of the room. After all, what goes up, must come down and she didn’t want to be in ‘open air’ when that happened. And then it happened! Botein didn’t know exactly what ‘it’ was; all she knew was the big kosopod screeched, the wall crumbled, and then a big hole appeared. And with it was what some tv plane crash shows would call explosive decompression happened. Only it wasn’t quite like what was depicted on tv. Botein yelped and grabbed her pillar as tightly as she could. Hugging it like a little kola clutching their mother’s back. Hugging it like her life depended on it since it kind of did. The vacuum of space was definitely not something she wanted to experience! No thank you!

Lt. CryptomelaneDice Roll: 3. Action: Fortunately, thanks to Sonora holding out her hand, Cryptomelane does not go on a spacewalk. On the downside, his lungs are really not about this stress. Admitting to weakness never worked out well for anybody.
Admitting to weakness handed people all the ammunition they could possibly need to take you down, and practically invited them to storm right into your neatly ordered life and wreck up the place.
Admitting to weakness was tantamount to admitting to sin and personal failure (or at least, no matter how much distance Preston put between himself and Brother Horace, he often couldn’t shake the feeling his brother had taught him—not even now, powered up as Cryptomelane—the feeling that said the only reason why someone would struggle so terribly with such great weakness was because something inside of them was broken, defective, and it could only be repaired through the grace of God as mediated by Brother Horace himself).
And yet, when Sonora extended her hand toward him, Cryptomelane rushed to grab it. She offered him that lifeline, that stability, even knowing what he did—even knowing at least some of what he was—and he had no desire to die in the void of space. Trying to meet her effort with an equal (if not greater) amount of his own, Cryptomelane grit his teeth and tried to pull himself closer to her. Sonora seemed to have found a pocket of normal-functioning gravity, and if he could just push through the crushing feeling that tried to move into his chest—if he could put his arms to work and help her reel him in—then he’d be back in relative safety. Everything would be fine. Everything would……
Cryptomelane bit his lip and closed his eyes as he finally came into the pocket of gravity that still knew how to behave itself properly. It would’ve been nice if he could have caught himself and landed on his feet. He had a mind to do that. But when he went to take a deep breath, just before he dropped, something didn’t feel right.
Even on the floor, something didn’t feel right. Cryptomelane’s chest felt tight, as if he had a ten-ton weight bearing down on him. None of his breaths felt like enough. Trying to force deeper breaths into himself made everything burn hot with pain. He tried to bite it down, the way he always did, because he had only gotten here thanks to Sonora and, regardless of where they stood in the larger conflict, he wanted to thank her. Wanted to make sure she was okay (at least relative to their current situation). But instead, coughs swept him away, leaving Cryptomelane unable to do much more than double over for several moments.
An asthma attack. Right now. In the middle of this wretched situation, and when it had been so long since he’d had one as Preston, never mind having one as Cryptomelane, when he was stronger—
With how badly the lack of proper breathing hit his brain, it was probably a minor miracle that he remembered the inhaler kept in his subspace. He’d had them denied to him too often growing up to risk getting caught in need and not having one. Preparing it, he’d torn off the prescription label as well as he could manage, then blacked out the remainder with Sharpie. Just in case he ever needed it as Cryptomelane, just so he wouldn’t have his identity exposed because he’d had a medical need out in the field.
At least the relief flooded over him quickly. At least the medicine rushed into his lungs and, before too long, he could breathe again. Not at all like his childhood, with Brother Horace insisting that medicine enabled weakness of one’s morals and spirit. Although he didn’t feel entirely stable, Cryptomelane did feel well enough to look around for—
“Sonora……?”

General King JetAction: Rolled 1 (-1). Taking a look around and sharing what he sees with Aqua. Trying to offer making a human chain to get every agent back to safety. He pulled through on the strike he made as hard as he could, hoping it would be enough to bring the Kosopod queen down, and they wouldn’t have to worry about it destroying everything, or injuring anyone.
Unfortunately, there was very little he could do when the queen thrashed around, melting a hole into the wall.
Being so close to her already, it was no surprise that Jet felt the pull of space, forcing him out past the safety of the museum walls. However safe they really were in the first place.
His weapon was dismissed and he shielded his mouth and face, hoping it would be long enough for him to concentrate on teleporting back. Only to realize he could still breathe. And with other agents being pulled out, there was no way he would just leave them.
The sight, though…
‘I’m okay for now. Try to stay inside,’ Jet said through the earrings he and Aquamarine shared. He didn’t want him freaking out.
And since he was there, he tapped into the earring’s ability to share images, giving Aquamarine the same view he was seeing.
He never really cared for space. There were too many things in his own life that he had to be concerned about that the vastness of galaxies and distances of stars never really interested him.
But he couldn’t deny the beauty before him. The blue sun, galaxies and stars, shining like gems.
A flash of something in the distance.
Jet felt a cold chill run down his spine. He had never seen anything like most of what he saw before him before, but there was something distinctly ominous about whatever it was far off in the distance. Surely, whatever it was had to be galaxies away.
And yet…
Floating nearby, he could see Heliodor. Jet usually kept his distance from Faustite’s team, not wanting to overstep, but he couldn’t just ignore when they, or any other agent, might need help.
“Grab my hand, if you can? We’ll try to gather up anyone else before teleporting back in,” Jet offered, holding out his hand as far as he could reach while floating. Did he know he could teleport? No… but he would be damned if he didn’t try, and he wouldn’t start a panic by suggesting that he couldn’t.
There was at least another General and Lieutenant he could see. If that was all (so far) then good. Hopefully the others managed to help each other stay safe and inside.
“It’ll be alright,” he promised. “Can either of you reach?” he offered his other hand to Lavendulan and the Lieutenant (Turquoise). He could have pulled out his weapon for a longer reach, but he didn’t want anyone injuring themselves further. Quote: If any other agent gets swept into space, feel free to grab onto Jet's leg or cape or something!
