As much as it pained him, after a small breather with Ami, Sailor Pluto, and Fate, he had to part ways. Staying together would draw too much attention, as well, separatey they could free more people. Cover more ground. He isn't de-powered, so he could handle a loose Robonoid or two if he gets caught. Likewise, a trio of resourceful young ladies could find their way around, especially since Ami figured out the consoles.

His shadow casts along the wall of the lit corridors, a shadow playing in the green. His flip-flops clatter on the floor, causing an echoing sound that would be welcome to anyone trapped in the nooks carved into the walls of this decadently technological vessel.

At least if they weren't terribly distracted, like the person nearly passed up by Steven, who skids to a halt, seeing another trapped victim. "Uh... hello? Are you okay?"

The person in the cell jumps around suddenly at the presence of another. Tinged various shades of hrbright red and sporting a headband, they are roughly Steven's height, and ready to get out, if the sudden SLAM of a fist against the cage bearing them didn't indicate. The reverberation of the impact carries very far. "GREAT! This is just PERFECT!" the small person shouts, holding her head, trying their best to focus, but it doesn't seem to be their forte. "Uh..." is all Steven can reply with for a moment. "Do you need any help?"

"NO!" a stinging reply is given. "I mean, don't look at me!" The being shrinks away into the corner of her cell. "Just go away..."

Not one to force someone to do something, Steven just begins to make their way onward, but that loud and anxious voice gets his attention. "HEY WAIT! You got out! How did you get past the field?" they ask. "Oh, kinda like this!" Steven says, reaching for the forcefield. "No, wait! Don't--"

The boy dips a hand into the field, those strange trace lines cross his skin, but nothing immediately harmful happens. "It's... okay?" The hot-headed figure says. She decides to try it, and but a tiny touch causes their entire hand to rupture, contort and twist painfully and agonizingly before reforming into a hand. "AHHH! OW! ...what's going on...?" How is this kid able to pass through and she can't?!

Before anything else can be said, that melodic singing kicks back up, as serene as ever, despite all the hardships being dealt with. "Sapphire..." the little red lady says, almost longingly so. The moment of her listening is short lived, as she begins to shout again, moving around anxiously, awaiting an exit. "LET ME OUT OF HERE!" she starts with. "PLEASE! I need to find Sapphire!"

"Is she your friend?" Steven replies with, moving closer toward the forcefield edge. "I'm looking for my friends, too!" With a single minded reply, the little woman continues on. "She's all alone! I need to find her!!!" THe Gem child steps forward, and uses his arm to block the field of energy. "W-W-We'll-l-l f-f-fin-nd o-o-ou-ur fr-r-ein-n-nds t-t-tog-e-e-eth-e-er!" the boy states while being shocked from all around, trying to brunt a smile, but it just comes off looking painful. Before he is able to step out, the little fireball is OFF.

Steven does his best to keep up, but it isn't long before he just plain loses her in the myriad of corridors. "Ah... man..." the boy says, panting and finding cover. "Hope they find who they are looking for... I better find more of my friends! Hope the others are having luck finding and freeing them."
