The taller woman landed awkwardly and scrambled toward a brightly lit window. "The lit portal is the roof access door we had planned upon. The contamination you introduced into the serving clank is evidently working. We should find that portal unlocked!" Her partner settled more gracefully. "I'm not a spark but the one I bought that clank seed from is very talented and reliable. I expect the compromised clank will have reliably unlocked that portal and won't prevent us from taking the girl alive." "So it seems," the taller woman nodded. "But in the event things go in an unplanned direction we can still claim partial compensation if we but snuff the Darkstar heir." Molly's art notes: Set up and rendered in Poser 12.0.500 with the Superfly Cycles 2 rendering engine. Darkstar Manor is by RPublishing. The Skydome and manor grounds are by Flink. The taller air pirate is based on the Dawn mesh with shape and texture by Tempesta3d. The shorter air pirate is based on good ol' V4 also with shape and texture by Tempesta3d. Their gear is from DAZ.
