Bungee Jump

Asherah...

...

Asherah!

C-can we please rest for just a minute...?

...

Hey... are you even listening?

I hear you.

And I'm rejecting that suggestion.

B-but everyone's exhausted...

Exactly! We're only a little exhausted!

But who knows what danger Captain is in right now?!

That's why we have to find him as fast as possible!

...Calm down, Asherah.

Smile! Not you too...!

This time, Luna's opinion is correct.

Charging blindly won't make Captain appear.

Machine or human, optimal output requires proper cooling.

But...

Try putting yourself in his shoes. If you were the Captain, what would you do here?

...

Sorry, everyone.

I guess I was getting ahead of myself.

At this rate... there's no way I'll ever become a [Star Savior].

Well, I don't know about this [Star Savior] stuff, but admitting your mistakes is the mark of a good leader.

I thought you were just a stubborn upper-cruster, but color me surprised! Haha!

A good builder knows what the final structure looks like before hammering the very first stake.

So first, let's settle on our immediate goal.

That's obvious... finding the Captain.

And how exactly do you plan on finding him?

That's...

Omega can find him!

Because Mister always carries Omega's house around!

He carries your house? I don't get it.

Complicated explanation. Simple conclusion.

Omega, where is the Captain now?

Down there, waaay below! Super deep!

Down there...? But you're pointing at the floor.

Most likely meaning the very bottom of the ruins.

Yup! The very lowest part!

Seriously? *Sigh...* So he's in the most troublesome spot.

Why's that?

Because walking there would take several days.

Why do you think the mayor ordered an elevator crane?

Everything close to the surface is already excavated, but the lower levels are so far down that anything in there is virtually out of reach.

If you wanna get there, you either stock up heavily or jump down the elevator shaft.

Okay. Let's do that.

What?

Do what...?

Uh... Asherah? Tell me that isn't what I think it is.

Brainstorming proves effective once again.

I agree with Asherah's rational approach.

What's rational about that?! You're all nuts!

Wowww! Bungee jump! That sounds fun!

Hold on... I have no idea what you're talking about, but—

You stupid hard hat! This is your fault!!

You handed ammo to these runaway engines!!

No, I only stated the facts...

You're... actually planning to jump?

You said it was almost finished, right?

Then think of it as a test run for the elevator.

There is no elevator yet!

I only set up the crane!!

Okay, then it'll be a crane durability test.

Omega, you can adjust your weight, right?

Uh-huh!

Great. I'll carry Marcille. Smile, take Luna.

Worst case, you can just throw her off.

I'll catch them before they hit the ground.

Understood. Command received.

Helloooo?! What about MY opinion?!

Let go! You nutjobs!

All right! Let's jump! Don't struggle too much or I might lose my grip on you!

AAAAAAAGH!!
