- ↑ Scribe grabbed her staff and pointed it at Riveting. “She’s doing her brain thing again.”
“Brain thing?” Sveta asked.
“My power makes it hard to let go of ideas when they take hold,” Riveting said. “It’s not that.” - Excerpt from Interlude 19.e II - ↑ I spotted the mech’s pilot standing off to the side, and noted Riveting, wearing a welding mask, heavy coat with a Shepherds badge on it, and stylized tinker overalls that were, uh, very supportive of her upper body. It felt a bit much to me. - Excerpt from Infrared 19.5
- ↑ “You’re clear, hon!” Riveting called out. She backed away swiftly from the metal beams that Scribe stood on.
Scribe hopped up, holding her staff to slow her drop to the ground. The yellow-painted steel girders flew in the Titan’s direction.
They flew through the air, not especially fast, pale shapes disappearing into the darkness.
Two explosions shook the area in front of the Titan. He fell.
“Good! Again!” Moonsong called out.
“On it!” Riveting answered, hefting her bag full of explosives tech. Scribe pointed to their next set of projectiles. - Excerpt from Interlude 19.d II - ↑ Interlude 19.d II
- ↑ The Titan swiped at Riveting, who the Harbinger maneuvered out of the way, in a similar way to how Furcate had hurled herself through the gravity-less cloud. The strike severed Sveta’s tendrils.
The follow-up strike backhanded Riveting with the same hand, catching Furcate. Both died. - Excerpt from Interlude 19.e II
