Suddenly appearing on top of a speeding train might be shocking, and likely upsetting, to most. To Lal however, it's more of an annoyance. This isn't the first time she's been suddenly whisked away against her will. This time though? She's not dressed for the setting. She's trying to work out exactly what's happened and where she is with her hair and skirt whipping around in the wind. It rather aggravating.
Plus there are a bunch of thugs advancing menacingly. She doesn't appear to be giving them much thought though.
"Computer, please decrease the train's speed by 86%!" She commands loudly into the air. Of course, nothing happens. The probability of being inside of a working holosuite was abysmally low, but she had to check anyway. She's still pretty sure it must be a simulation though, and that following through with the story will likely be the way to exit.
So she allows the bandits to come at her. The first takes a swing and she grabs his fist, stopping it instantly. He tries with his other hand, and she stops it too before lifting him easily and tossing him overboard without a backward glance.
That's when the rest of the gang ready their blasters.
[ Stopping the train ]
Lal knows that so many simulations tend to be cliches, but this one is really taking the cake. Stopping the train before it plummets off a bridge?
"I can't believe a hovering train can be derailed by a blown up bridge." She states with a sigh and the most dramatic eye roll she can manage. Still though, she's not wasting any time knocking bandits aside to help clear the way to the front of the train.
