Oh wow! Great! She doesn't even have to be zapped into the metal to experience the horrible crushing darkness! Science truly does amazing things, doesn't it?
As she goes flying off the tit ramp, Peridot tries to course correct by turning into a bat again, zipping back towards the chassis and latching on to the Mother's midriff. Changing back again, she grits her fangs and digs in her claws to hang on for dear life, shuddering as the mist seeps in clouds her mind. It's a colossal effort just to call the vorpal sword back to her, the speed of it's return to the safe grip of her tail sluggish by her usual standards.
It's the self-doubt effect that is getting to her the worst. The knowledge that she was never meant to be in a combat situation like blares in the back of her head louder than ever, making it hard to hear Gon's voice or to even hear her own thoughts of anything other than how stupid she is for thinking that she could do this, that she could make a difference in a fight of this scale. She should have just left this to other people, like...
...Syr. She tries to locate him, terror coursing through her when she sees the peril he's currently in. Conversing with him, making their plans for this escape attempt has been one of the only things that has kept her going in Polaris, and now this fae is going to kill him and she can't do anything about it. It's like the Mother is literally crushing their hopes of escape with her bare robot hands.
"Syrlya!" she cries frantically, feeling helpless to assist.
