Hilda is sitting at her desk and runs her hands upwards past her forehead only to go against her head. She then throws her hands down onto the desks surface.

Orf comes over to her. "Is something the matter?"

"Oh Orf." Hilda sighs staring at her hands. "Everything is wrong! I can't properly do anything helpful without being found out about." Her eyes narrow at the chains on her wrists that are only a grim reminder of the state that everything is in. "I can't do anything helpful for Vav and Mogar. At least not like this. Not with how everything is."

"Cheer up. I know you can do it." Orf tries to cheer her up.

Hilda closes her eyes with a heavy sigh before her eyes snap open as the doors to her lab is opened. She turns to see who is there.

Ash walks in looking scared.

"Ash?" Hilda gasps.

"Shush!" Ash quickly shushes the other only to glance back glad that it seems that it is ok. She sighs softly in relief before turning back to Hilda. "I have limited time. Rusty is distracting the guards." She whispers. "It wasn't easy sneaking in I was so scared that I'd be spotted. So let's cut to the chase. Do you have something or somethings to help Mogar and Vav? We can find a way to get it to them. I'll take responsibility but we might be able to help them save the city if we do this right."

Hilda nods then tosses her head in the direction of a corner. "Safest place I could hide them. They might be a little bit incomplete but they should work well enough. Kind of a few things I threw away for bigger projects especially after I made X-ray's glasses." She whispers. "There should be gloves that can send out beams. It won't be deadly but it should help. Oh and a liquid in a small plastic water bottle that one of them could use to fly though it is really temporary. I don't think we should take much more to give them if we want to sneak it out."

Ash nods and grabs the two things confirming that it is the items before heading out with a thank you wave.

"Good luck." Hilda whispers to herself.

Meanwhile....

"Hey!"

Ash stops then spots Rusty out of the corner of her eye. She glances to the items she is hiding from the guards sight and Rusty nods before ducking back into hiding.

The guard that had spotted her comes over to her. "Were you inside the lab?"

"I was just getting some cleaning done." Ash tries and turns looking innocent.

"No one is to enter without permission." The guard growls. "Come with us."

The two guards flank Ash and they begin walking away.

Ash carefully moves the items so the guards won't notice.

Rusty tiptoes over to behind Ash being as stealthy as he can be and he takes the items from Ash's hand that have moved to behind herself as best as she could.
