The cage seems friendly enough, and making this rescue mission into a sort of game could help get Marvel out of here. Jasper approaches the cage carefully, hanging their taser chain around their neck and gesturing for it to follow them. The cage gives them a confused look, only getting the drift when Jasper tugs on the edge of its new scarf toy.

Jasper waves a hand up at Marvel, getting only a dull clunk in response from the cage. They try holding up one of their hands next, miming pulling the tube out of Marvel’s hand. The cage pats its bars excitedly, running over to the controls and hitting a button.

The tubes release their grip on the brain type, and the restraints open- everything except for the collar.

Marvel collapses to the ground, still unconscious. Jasper has no idea how they’re going to carry him out, but they float over to the cage and give it a thankful pat on its bars- and, after a brief hesitation, unclasps its emblem. This is a gift, they say. For helping out.

The cage looks at it as if its the most prized treasure in the world, making some very excited clangs. Jasper shushes it, moving back to Marvel and shoving him into a sitting position.

You hear Buddy cry out for a split second, the sound cutting out.
