And Cam watches it happen - and feels it, from the one his humanoid body is standing on -

And there is no air left with which to say 'oh shit'.

...But Kithabel can do resurrections.

Bad move, entities.

Now Cam can't just let you go. Now he has to chase you.

He doesn't have to blow anything up to take off. He needs no input to run at a high capacity. He just has to wait until he's grown enough shards to duplicate their speed - and load up on enough defensive anti-everything that they don't think to make a pit stop at Mars to wipe out the last remaining human aside from Kithabel.

Cam gives chase.

Drop the sorceress and he might consider letting you run -

- not that he'll let you have enough information to guess that.
