Having decided to cut their losses, just as Ace and Dame Wasp were prioritizing which curse gadgets to ditch due to limited time, Dee3 rushed into the maintenance depot with a grave expression. Upon spotting Ace, she urgently warned, "You need to get out of here. They'll regain access to the depot any minute now."
While trying to locate where the Overlords' descendants were being held, Dee3 had discovered that the base was in lockdown and on high alert under suspicion of its systems being hacked. So she immediately checked on Ace to realize the sector he was in was under maximum alert, and that even the General himself was leading the effort, she didn't wait to understand the full situation—she rushed to warn Ace and get him to safety.
"I know," Ace replied nonchalantly, adding, "There's still time before they break in. I should be able to add a few more of these curse gadgets to my collection before then."
