The faint hum of fluorescent lights buzzes in Mach's cramped office, dust motes drifting through the single grimy window. Outside, shadows flicker past the reinforced glass—too fast, too many. Mach stands rigid, her massive hammer propped against her shoulder, knuckles white on the grip. Pilby curls on the floor beside the desk, antennae drooping. They glance up. "D'ooh... How long do you think we can stay here?" Mach doesn't turn. "Trust me... They won't get through security. And if they do..." She taps the hammer's head. Pilby manages a weak smile. What about you, you—you sticking with us?
