Marco covered his eye, gasping. The possibilities were endless, and his eye was sure to show him every. Single. One. What was more troublesome was that that man and his lizard thing were fading from the possibilities as new ones with not quite new characters. The twins were making their entrance with...was that Tennan? There were so many Tennans and each of them were appearing in conjunction with the twins he'd met earlier, back when he couldn't see a future with the twins realizing he was a wanted man. Now he was being sought. He couldn't stay here; he had to run!

Run he did, starting from his seat and straight for the exit and straight for the--

Twins. He'd run into them, both working as a block in his path. He was so busy focusing on the possibilities that once again he'd neglected to look at the present. And here they were, looking down at him. He shrank back, muttering something resembling an apology hoping to duck by them, but they noticed. Instead, he looked slightly to the left of the left-most brother and saw her...Tennan. That gorgeous performer, dancing in the shows. She was a coworker, but not one he'd ever had the gall to talk to.

“Well, well, well! Roek! What 'ave we 'ere?” Damon asked, not bothering to look at the line's intended, focusing in instead on the eye-patched redhead.

“Ye sure it's not 'cause yer wanted? For a looot of gold, mind you?” Damon persisted, grabbing hold of Marco's arm, not stopping in his moving forward. Roek latched onto the other, Marco now being forced to walk backwards with them, eventually veering down and out of the exit.

“Well, that was easier than ah thought it'd be,” Roek said, laughing.

“Sure enough was,” Damon said, injecting Marco with some sort of drug. Roek's face was the last he saw as he faded to darkness.

Qi, when poking her head out, saw another thing. A smaller ship, and a girl trying some fuel. She didn't look like a Yingya! She could...she could maybe get her out of here! Looking around cautiously, she saw no immediate signs of any of them so she went for it, running out with her hands up in a show that she had no weapons, “Please... can you get me out of here, I'm begging you, before they arrive to finish me off... Please...”
