During the final battle on the Lost Seekers compound, Medb took a fuck-off huge laser beam to the everywhere. Daniel had put up a net to help shield it...but it was still partially melted. Temperatures inside the cockpit soared...and so, when Medb's cockpit was opened, it unveiled a scene of horror.
Much of Gwen's synthetic flesh had melted and burned, exposing metal and circuitry underneath. Fully half her face was gone, taking an eye with it. When she pulled herself out of the pilot's seat, skin tore and was left behind. Muttering a series of electronic squawks and beeps under her breath, she took three steps away from Medb before collapsing.
But, this is Gwen. She does not die easy.
As much of her body and mind was melted or destroyed, more of it was left intact. So it's a simple job for Doomstar to put her back together, to replace the broken parts, to slot in a new set of computer parts...All told, it's just under three hours until she's leaning against a wall outside the infirmary, looking over the details of a hand in introspection.

...I'm sorry. I'm not sure why I did that, made you worry...

[Sielje looks down, on her hand - which squeezes Gwen's tightly.]
It is very important not to act recklessly. I know you can take more than I, but how much more? I do not want to lose you.
[For some reason she doesn't address the recent development, though Sielje's face is very much flushed.]

[Gwen stays there, her forehead pressed against Sielje's, her fingers intertwined with the knight's.]
...Sielje? I think I understand a bit more, about why Jen proposed to you. And, I want to know. The time you have in your life, would you spend it with me?

[Sielje's gaze wanders to the side. When she speaks up again, she sounds hesitant.]
I cannot. Not now.
We know each other not for long. And... there is a great threat looming above us. I am... afraid.
I am afraid of what will become of Earth, of us. I cannot vow anything important like this. I already swore hastily in the past, and then regretted it...
My apologies.

...I see. I guess you haven't known me that long...
[Slowly, she disentangles her fingers from Sielje's, and steps back to lean against the far wall.]
...fine.

[Sielje steps back, her head low. She feels bad and despirited, even though it's because of something she herself said. Or rather, it's because of it.]
