"They are still following, and gaining fast. We won't be able to escape using conventional means, a complete retreat is in order." The jet-bike's AI comment as it continued to gain altitude.
"Silence" looked over their shoulder, towards the sisters, asking the AI why it was informing them instead of doing it as they did.
"I am already preparing the process. I also advice you to strap yourself in." It commented in turn.
Once enough height was gained, and "Silence" had buckled up, the jet-bike ignited their jet engine, reaching their top speed of 3000 km/h. With both the noise and heat trail betraying its position, the AI de-activated the cloaking device, switching it out for a barrier. Unlike "Silence's" forcefield, this barrier was spherical, but invissible unless struck. It also didn't give off an electrial signal upon activation, powered through other means.
What definitely did give off an electrical signal, however, was the AI preparing to open a portal back to the universe it and "Silence" came from, generating massive amounts of power, as the device used to create portals was powered by a particle accelerator.

"Not too long ago, I heard otherwise." Caius chimed it, glancing towards Alain, but not turning his head.
