Up above the hole in the ground, Ira is speaking to her watch:
"Are you certain?"
"It's not that I don't trust you. It's just that you said we didn't do this until after..."
"But this reduces our advantage-"
"We managed to lose it while circling around to get her and then it kind of was about to catch up."
She rubs at her face. "You're in Josephine's old office, right? There should be a room it'll have trouble fitting in you can escape through."
Jenn thinks. "I think I saw the door to it," Jenn confirms. "What kind of terrain are we looking at in it?"
"It's not as badly hit as the rest - it was better enforced - but stairs, rubble, small dark passageways."
Jenn nods. "Any place to hide?" (She's still, a little, worried about her Bina's knees and ability to run.)
She'll explain a few more routes and hiding places -
And then the Moment twists. It looks like nausea feels.
"That seems likely. It'll take time for the Moment to reset, and you won't be able to reenter while not at your PTP."
"Pretty much. There's ways you can cancel your jump but it sounds like you didn't build something in..."
The twisting's getting much, much worse.
"I'd like to see you build a time machine out of stolen wires, torches and electricians tape." Beat. "-Will we be able to talk to you again?"
"Alright then. Till then." Turns to Elizabeth and Bina. "We need to be ready to move the minute we're kicked out. Try to land on your feet."
She nods -
And the world lurches -
And they're back in the office, Moment still around Jenn's neck.
Jenn's immediately urging her Bina and Elizabeth into a run, pointing them towards the door she spotted earlier, bringing up the rear.
And Jenn runs after them, checking their surroundings. (First thing she's doing when they're back in the Moment: hunting the houses for a decent weapon.)
It's cold and wet and miserable -
At least they don't have to run very long before the world lurches, and they snap back to the building. It still has naughts around it, but far, far fewer, even if much of their barricade is destroyed.
Bina leans over, gasping for breath.
Jenn comes to a stop, scanning to make sure and-
"Try not to gasp," she advises. (She is, perhaps, unfairly still breathing close enough normally.)
"Yeah. Perspective!" She shakes her head. "Should we wait here for the Moment to reset, or try and move elsewhere - though from what Three said I think once it's working we'll be able to teleport with it - "
"Should have asked her how long that was going to take... We seem to be okay for now, but we may want to move if it takes too long."
