Speedsters!: Nadine to the rescue… and the inertial dampening field… which allows skilled speedsters to scoop folk up without injury. Nadine and other speedsters were last seen on page 7.193… only five pages ago. I know it seems like forever, but probably only a minute or two in Magellan time.

Patrons: Page 7.201 is now up on Patreon… 7.202 published soon…

Next update: May 7, 2023: A split second is all it takes…

Well, Paz, I don’t think it’s too late to time-slip and save Olga, thereby freeing Nadine to help someone else. (Time travel is fun!)

  That’s actually a decent point.
  But it also carries a risk. If she slips now to get a more favorable outcome, and the glass pane then kills someone, will she be able to slip again in time to prevent that?
  
  We know that the recharge on her ability is more than a minute, but I do not remember how much more.

    Seems to be just a bit longer then her slipped time, maybe a second or so. There may be other factors in play.

      Looks that way from the sequence back on pages 66-68 where Rochelle and Ambrosia worked out how to kill a Rarg. The final timeline went like this:
      Rochelle: …if I am killed or maimed…
      Ambrosia: Oh my God! Don’t try the helmet glass, you lunatic! It’s too hard to break!
      Rochelle: I take it my first attempt…
      Ambrosia: Failed! And you second try too.
      Rochelle: Atmosphere tank?
      Ambrosia: Couldn’t be punctured.
      Rochelle: Attempt three…
      Ambrosia: No, wait! The leg connectors didn’t work either. I’m coming with you. If we’re doing this thing (…and we obviously are…) I might as well get a better look at the suit.
      Rochelle: As you wish. Just don’t get yourself killed before me.
      Ambrosia: STOP! “Four” didn’t work either… but I think I know what might.

That Sun Moon trying to magnetically affect generic structural glass? Oh no.

I Wonder, ist Ambrosia getting desensitized to seeing people die?
When Rochelle and she figured the rarg Out it seemed it affected her more. Noe she is getting used to reset deaths.

A minute or two is forever for a speedster.
