They should be harassing the Reaper right now and making demands not wasting time by standing around doing nothing. It seems they were waiting for her to do the honors. She appreciates the consideration but she has a meeting that she wants to get to soon.
"I guess I'll be the one to...." Her words caught in her throat.
She caught sight of the core of the plane. All three jaws of her three heads opened and slackened in shock. Then she turned around and ran. She tried to run back into the closing whirlpool. She slammed ineffectively into it. It rebuffed her attempt to force her way through. It is like she hit a sturdy wall.
She didn't give up though. She continued to try until the whirlpool shut down and disappeared completely into the sky. Her hope of escaping back the way she came died out. That hope was little to begin with but it was something. Now it is gone.
