Pietro is putting the finishing touches on part of the Amity Communications Tower when he receives communication from Penny.
Penny: Dad?
Pietro: Penny?
Penny is sitting in front of a bomb inside the Schnee Dust mine.
Penny: This does not seem like a very good idea.
She looks down at the bomb, and her sensors tell her that it is a danger.
Mason: I hear you, Penny...
Pietro: There is a difference between a good idea and our best idea. Sadly, we don't have time for much else.
Penny touches the bomb's interface, arming it. Meanwhile, Pietro rides the elevating center floor of the Amity Colosseum downward.
Pietro: We have enough systems up and running to broadcast our message and keep Amity in atmospheric orbit. But our thrusters just aren't capable of reaching our target altitude on their own.
On the lowest level of the colosseum's arena, Maria is piloting a mech and using it to carry a large machine while Mason jumped down to Pietro.
Maria: Ha, fortunately, we're sitting on a couple hundred tons of thrust.
Maria walks the mech to the center of the platform and puts the machine down.
Pietro: Once we passed into broadcast range, we'll activate stabilizers, re-establish global communications, and boost the message we've recorded out into the rest of the world. After that, we just have to pilot Amity away from all this mess.
Mason: And while you do that last part, I'll head back to Atlas to help the others.
Penny arms another bomb in the mines and flies up to a tunnel where yet another bomb is sitting.
Penny: But what if no one is able to come and help Atlas? If I stay behind, I could maybe--
Pietro: Penny, we are not having this conversation again.
Mason: We're not calling for help. We're warning the rest of Remnant, so they'll be prepared. If I know Professor Theodore, he needs to know to prepare Shade for the worst.
Pietro: I'm your father and I'm telling you that you belong on Amity.
Pietro and Maria are riding the platform back up.
Penny: (disappointed) Yes, sir.
