The door busts open, the man from the video enters the room. He's got a weapon ready in his hands, a jetpack on his back, a gem hanging on his chest, along with a furious expression.
"He has a gem." Alec points out.
"You destroyed my life's work!" the man roars at the guests, his voice filled with anger and grief.
"We didn't do anything!" Alexis pleads.
He isn't listening. He uses his weapon to shoot silvery gas all over the room, sending the group scrambling. Everyone screams.

He becomes frozen in blue light.

The girl exhales. Her blonde hair is short, and her outfit reminds them about something from a steampunk novel. There's also a jetpack on her back.
"He's only gonna be like that for a couple of minutes," she tells the shocked group. "So, we gotta get out of here."
She charges out the door. Everyone follows her, yelling "Go!" and "Come on!" Alec remembers to grab the blueprints on the way out.
"Who's she?" Rita asks as they run. "Who is that?"
"What the fuck was that?" asks Bethany once they're all in the hallway.
Amarie squints at their new acquaintance, not really sure if they can trust her. "Who the hell are you?"

"Jetpack Girl." She grins, showing off her jetpack. "Nice to meet you."
"Who was that?" asks Tyler.
"That," Jetpack Girl starts to explain, "was Cedric. My old boss. He's a real asshole sometimes. He built this Automaton Bride to love him forever, but it only awoke long enough to, like, crush his soul. But he thinks someone sabotaged her, and right now, he thinks y'all did it."
