- i sense dragons
- you always sense dragons
- it's not that, silly! my sensors are reading it!
- we're waiting
- they wouldn't wait for us! even if it was convenient!
- it's our code, we don't stoop down to others' standards. even if it's our own..
- and how'd that work out for ya last time? you're in denial
- i know (it fires a flare)
- gone to waste! you think they can't see us? they don't care if you get shredded to pieces. they'll tell themselves it was impossible to help you, then sleep like babies
- fuck you~
- yes please~
(a shell lands nearby, they take cover, rubble and sand showers their closed eyes)
- i'm hoping to keep signaling til we're out of flares, we can use the nailgirls to take down one, maybe two dragons. then if we can make it out, we make it out
- why exhaust your resources and minimize your chances of survival? your programming must be faulty
- i'm investing..
- not making any sense!
- you're thinking about it too much! it ain't logic, kiddo
- kiddo? oh no! you're gambling!
- high stakes, high reward!
- you gotta be alive for the reward to make any sense, idiot!
- not that reward. i'm hoping to start a chain reaction..
- ... (her eyes start rapidly moving, sensors bleeping)
- oh shit!
- move (she whispers calmly)

the dragon starts collapsing timelines left and right, little black holes start swallowing tanks.. quite an enchanting sight if it wasn't for what you know will follow.
they activate the nailgirl, then look at the remaining one..
the nailgirl starts laughing, all her functions are operational, she's target-locked, her laughter Doppler-effecting as she rockets towards the dragon...
they'd sat down to breathe and watch the colorful clouds of smoke, quite a beautiful sight if you didn't know what caused it..

- well that went alright!
- i think i get it. you're trying to annoy them
- (it smiles and fires a flare)
