[He doesn't need to be told twice. Or at all, really- that screeching's been a harbinger of horrible, horrible things for the past half hour or so. He's already scrambling- as best he can, anyway- over the shuttle's hull to reach the hatch, and breathes a sigh of relief when he discovers Pidge had made sure it was unlocked like he'd asked. And for better or worse, he looked behind the shuttle right just before closing the hatch, and did not like what he saw.
That thing has formed up behind them already, swimming through the mists after them and closing the distance between it and the tiny shuttle with far more speed than anything that size should be capable of. It had also learned from it's previous attempt at just swallowing the whole thing whole, and decided a new approach was called for. Now, it stretched out one of those impossibly elongated arms to try and swat the tiny ship from the sky, rather than trying to swallow it outright. And since it had to solidify in order to do so, Pidge's instruments would probably start screaming for attention again, but there was also another warning system aboard the ship now.]
Pidge, get this thing moving! That thing's not waving at us!
