Whisper seems to have been trying pretty hard to avoid that accidental activation result, to the point of actively compromising her own situational awareness and ability to defend herself... but at the same time, she was specifically trying to deliver the Jewel Seed directly into Onogoro's hands.Fate getting the Jewel Seed is actually a decent end result. Not as good as Nanoha of course, but miles better than Onogoro getting it or Whisper accidentally activating it like a dumbass.
Lmao.And then she hears a whoosh of air and the hiss of dissipating Flier Fins and running footsteps, and she forces herself to look calm and confident and not surprised as she turns.
This is probably the Jupiter palace, which seems like it can take care of itself, but it sure would suck if Precia damaged one of those still-intact cryochambers up there.The rebuke of Fate's performance comes to her easily, in a motherly voice. Even if none of Fate's training involved anything like it, she should have been able to guess that some of the bloodsucking insects in the station's interior could bite through light barrier jacketing. Especially after she stopped the first pack of the local predators. A parasite that could feed on something resistant to mid-voltage plasma fire must necessarily have special capability.
I don't think Mir would contain wildlife capable of giving Fate Testarossa a workout. The cosmonauts just ain't that scary, even hung over.… Did one of the magical girl enemy factions take over Mir or something?
Just for the record.The bounded domain is kept at a regulated pseudo-cosmic background temperature, and there's no precipitation or insects. So there was no reason not to cut a hole in the floor-to-ceiling window for just such jumping. A tiny, mostly numb corner of Fate wants to think more about the reaction of whoever uses this room for whatever mysterious purpose. About how they'll react, one day, after she's done with this secret domain-hideout. When they come back to the room and find a big plasma-cut hole in their wall. The idea almost cuts through her focus and seriousness, but that makes it unserious and bad to waste time on.
We haven't had an interlude about Nanoha coming to Minako and asking her how to deal with pretty girls with sad eyes yet (did she mention the pretty part) for one....oh god damn it, how is it that no one thought that Fate might have been involved in this? Seriously, everyone was convinced that 'F' stood for Fine, but I'm pretty sure no one had even suggested that it might be Fate.
We do, however, know why Nanoha hasn't come to Minako to ask about this.We haven't had an interlude about Nanoha coming to Minako and asking her how to deal with pretty girls with sad eyes yet (did she mention the pretty part) for one.
Well, it seems fairly likely that we are about to learn Nanoha's Prowess score in the most direct manner possible.Fate makes her grand on screen debut and her underlying sorrow is quite palpable.
Also she fights with an effective +36 prowess which while a step below the Senshi... I can't recall Nanoha's prowess for some reason and just double checked and she appears to not have a character sheet in the informational?
I'm thinking she might be a little more injured then that, considering she just crashed out of the sky at 150 miles an hour*Fate and Nanoha start trading beam attacks hundreds of feet above the ground*
Whisper: ...Yeah, I think I'm gonna head home now.
Uh, sure Fate, she'll just walk that off probablyAnd the enemy mage, she is sure, can't possibly be about to hit the ground hard enough to do more than rattle her through her barriers anyway.
Still, as...unexpected as Fate's entrance is, there are legitimate benefits to this.
Honestly, Jupiter Castle will be interesting, since its interior has developed in a fascinatingly different environment from that of the Castle that Prescia visited. There was a point, during one draft that there was a mention of large reptiles, but it was pruned.This is probably the Jupiter palace, which seems like it can take care of itself, but it sure would suck if Precia damaged one of those still-intact cryochambers up there.
I think Fate might be chronologically more like...6 lol-Succeed in robbing an ancient sorceress of a precious and spectacularly dangerous magical treasure while she raves about how she will show them, show them all.
-Get mugged by a nine year old.
To Fate's surprise- she is unfamiliar with fragile flight-assistive implements- the Empty Face begins an abrupt crash-landing from a considerable height. But Fate has other business to attend to. Mother, she has become convinced, needs her medicine. And the enemy mage, she is sure, can't possibly be about to hit the ground hard enough to do more than rattle her through her barriers anyway.
And she never even spotted the, well technically least hidden Castle, but the hardest to spot castle - Neptune Castle.
Anime durability suggests she is probably very very unhappy, definitely down for this fight but likely not dead unless someone deliberately finishes her off.Given that Whisper wasn't knocked out by the Photon Lancers, she might survive hitting the ground.
Then again, she might not.
What is sure is that she is going to be very busy trying to cast Arresto Momentum or Summon Greater Big Cushy Mattress or something.
