For a brief moment it seems like she was going to make it, but then she starts to fall back down. And yet, in that dramatic moment, it somehow felt as though she was hanging in midair like a comic character that just fell off a cliff and was about to toss off a one-liner before falling to their doom.
But doom was not in store for Danu today as she tumbled onto the top of the drill, scrambling to grab hold of it.

okay, if i die and somehow i stay dead make sure gonzo does not get my body, guard it if you have to please, then give me a proper burial and make sure he doesn't dig my body back up.

Danu helps them get Marxon off of the drill and onto a solid looking maintenance platform, a bit unnerved by the sudden darkness but not letting it stop her. She quickly casts one of her orbs to illuminate their surroundings and make sure nobody slips off the platform into a dark abyss.

Well have to keep Marx's body here and connected- so gonz, no taking his body.
Our next step is to work our way to the terminal... We'll be able to shut down whatever's powering the defenses and, hopefully, get this thing back in space on a self-destruct timer.

NO, and i'm sure it will turn into a crystal if he is dead, and if it does then you can't have it because we can use the crystal to bring him back to life
*goes into the building from the open door*
Crystal should be separate from his body, just have to find it.
body is still mine though, you people can have the crystal.

why are you being so stingy with your body? if you could give an organ to same a child, you can donate your body to me. or are you too heartless to give an organ to a dying child?

and now there's more.
*the light on his wrist turns off unceremoniously*
good question. i'd suggest moving upwards, ships like this will often have the bridge and systems higher in the construct. though we might want to find the main maintenance terminal so we can stop this drilling.

Yeah, about that... I'm not seeing one.
For some reason, it's either not appearing or just hasn't appeared yet...
And again, you most likely won't get the body. It kind of needs to stay connected so we can more or less see things... It might keep other things from going crazy, too.

if you had any idea of what kind of value you're putting underground for sentimental reasons...
"Not necessarially. Unplugging him caused things to shut off, and they don't necessarially turn back on unless someone goes and pushes the button to activate them again. Though it might have ended up knocking out power to most of the ship, there's a chance the terraforming already stopped."
Danu was floating her orb near some control panels, looking to see if they had any markings that would suggest what their functionality was.

Yeah, you're probably right... Let's focus on getting this thing off the ground and into space without us on it, though.
