Reassured that Buddy has backup, you turn your attention back to the tower. Primus and Marnet are talking to each other in rushed voices, Primus checking in that yes, the hostage TCP was still restrained and downstairs in the Sanctuary. Marnet assures him that they are, and there’s no chance of them getting loose. She’d stick around if she could to ensure it, but Buddy and Jasper really need her help at the base…Primus understands, even if this whole thing has him more worried than he’s ever been in his life. He’s scared, and even a hug from his lobster type friend can’t help him completely shake off the fear.

Marnet turns to leave, picking up Primus’ bag of holding on the way out- leaving her own bag here would ensure they could pull people through easier. Stay safe- she knows they’ll all be back together before he knows it.

Slop claps a hand on Primus’ shoulder as he watches Marnet go, giving him what she hopes to be a reassuring shake. It’s time to bring Buddy home.
