<div>While fiddling with the control panel Koba pauses for a second and gives a quisical stare at the circut board before looking over his shoulder at the boat and dragon pursuing them. He is suddenly thrown against the side wall by Louissa's attempts to avoid the incoming fire. "Louissa, if you can find a way to go dive, we should. I hope that metal dragon rusts. Hold on everyone!"</div>
