When she hit bottom, she was mildly disappointed that she wasn't instantly incinerated. As a matter of fact, it was a little chilly—
Of course it's a little chilly, you dunce, she mentally scolded. The incinerator's been off for forever—
An eruption of flame up ahead alerted her to the fact that this was to be remedied.
Pardon the mess, Maxwell's voice declared. I haven't been able to get to it lately. Gee, I wonder why?
She forced herself to ignore him and stand. There had to be a way out, right?
Anywho, while you're down there, see if you can't find a dual portal gun—then we can get back to important stuff, like testing.
A moment of silence. Willow stepped forward.
Oh yeah, he added as an afterthought. Try not to trip over any pieces of me while you're at it.
Yup—same old—
Five things thrown down the incinerator—because if the thing in front of them wasn't human, it was machine, and machines broke after too many parts were taken away—
She shook her head—now was not the time to be trapped in the past. She had to get out of here, escape—
Wilson.
She didn't know if he had cameras down there, but she was not going to cry. Not now.
Hey, we don't have all day here, Maxwell chided. Actually, scratch that—you don't have all day. Once that baby gets warmed up you'll go poof. Not that you don't have a death wish, but if memory serves me correctly, the last time I tried to kill you you didn't go down quietly. Or the time before that, come to think of it.
At least he wasn't pretending. Dollars to donuts he was going to try to kill them again.
Kill her again….
Well, while you're loitering I can clean up here. Now where did I throw that little idiot?
She didn't know if he were still alive or not, but she did not want to see Wilson's ruined body thrown down here like trash.
She had to go.
