"I'll have to tell Cricket not to terrorize them."

"Surely birds in a cage are not that interesting to terrorize?"

"He's a cat! He'll bat at characters on action movie screens!"

"That is adorable."

"It is but he'll be tempted to do the same thing with parakeets. ...shooting some lego guys now, one sec." Blam blam blam.

"Less adorable. At least you can tell him to leave them be. Can't do that reliably with a normal cat. Three lego guys menacing a victim up the stairs to your left."

"Roger that." Up he goes. Blam blam blam. Victim get. "Is the path I took in still open?"

"Going to need to detour a bit, but it's not too bad so you don't have to fly. At least at the moment."

"Alrighty. Hi there, sir, I'm Traceless, let's get you on piggyback and we can haul you out of here -" He mostly talks to the victim on the way out when he doesn't need directional updates from Vantage.

She'll steer him though the maze, avoiding big concentrations of lego guys on the way out (but making a note of them for the SWAT teams when they want to go on forays to thin those out) and otherwise let him chatter to the victim.

SWAT guys mostly do not engage with Lego dudes if they can avoid it because of how they will Rip Your Limbs Off, and since Vantage is racking up more backlash per minute than her partner in this dungeon there is not any expected period of time where she's providing sensor data to someone other than him, but it's still good to know where they're densest. Traceless drops off the victim through the airlock and forges back out, till their next guiding break and then till they knock off for the day.

She's pretty backlashed by the end of the day but they pulled a bunch of people out of the place who would have been a lot more challenging to find without her help so it's worth it.

They can go head into the loaner silo. And then Haru will turn off a bunch of lights and see about initiating the most professional possible sex.

It'll have to be oral this time but they can do that.

She's the more backlashed party so while he is happy to take turns like a civilized person he's also more than incidentally happy about how the mechanics of guiding work out.

She's happy to let him go first, receiving will be more fun when she's less backlashed anyway. She doesn't have experience but she does have the ability to pay attention and take feedback. She doesn't love the taste but the guiding makes up for it and she manages not to leave too much of a mess to clean up.

It's much more efficient per unit time than kissing! She will be substantially less backlashed quite suddenly and then as soon as he's caught his breath it can be her turn.

She will use a pillow to muffle any noises somewhat, how about? She doesn't have experience with this specific activity either but she has spent time entertaining herself so she knows whee things ought to go to speed up the job.

It's actually really hard to figure out how to do this effectively from first principles without any noises to go by so he's going to wind up in local guiding-chasing attractor states, but if the fluid availability's well-correlated with how well he's doing maybe that's just as good?

Well a pillow is not a completely effective muffler of noises so he can probably get some hints. If he seems to be having a lot of difficulty she will eventually indicate some spots with her fingers.

Message received!

Then eventually she will make some louder noises and squirm vigorously. There's not a ton of extra fluid available alas but there is some.

Mmmmm guiding. He does not know if the overstimulation thing is a concern here but he will just have to guess and the one error would be more recoverable than the other. He ceases what he has been doing and snuggles up.

"Mhmm..."

"All systems nominal?"
