Pigglemorth throws off his mask and joins the party. He explains to Ru, "I don't have a shut-off on this one... whatever process was used to make Ada stemmed from my processes on Edditomas, but I didn't build her." Fr. Berman speaks. Yet, she respond with an inscrutable grin and starts pulling her multi-limbed form up the stairwell. Calahan lets loose with the flamethrower. The flames surge down the tower, blasting her mechanistic form. Her joints glow from the heat, and the wedding dress burns away. Beneath, a large brass cistern sits, fire and boiling blood glowing from the inside. "No more burning," she responds, and unleashes a scalding spray of blood at Calahan (-4 hp). "Brass..." Pigglemorth remembers, "Brass will harm her. I don't think we have any brass weapons..."  He then turns back into the giant clock, the huge gears, and behind them the sword-carrying statues that announce the hour. "Except for my clock... The hour strikes in one minute."</blockquote>
