With time being of the essence and the Alchemists likely coming to the crater city of Kokoniel in force, it's pretty much agreed: Calamity is their best chance at getting into Pendulum, and thus getting closer to the former Null agent Zero Nadira (With the fringe benefit of Red being able to find out more about the Clockwork Nekana thief that jacked her pistols). With that in mind, catching up to the Invincible becomes paramount, and time becomes a commodity the group no longer has. Thankfully, Sana has taken the liberty of restocking the group with her Djinni powers, supplying everything the group will need.
Also supplied is transportation, in two steps. The first is either insane or ingenious (ingenieus?), depending on everyone's outlook: Kokoniel is a city, situated atop a mountain. A steep mountain with the scars of war and mindless Revenants peppering the peak. With the paths back down to more easily traversed lands being made up of straight paths, sanctified to ward off the Revenants and cleared of debris, Sana provides an optimal solution:
Traversing down the mountain in a fraction of the time with a series of slides leading from one landing to another along the path, all leading down to a very heavy duty, sturdy wooden cart, attached to a half dozen horses. But the cart is not just any ordinary cart- It's long. Long enough for everyone to have a legroom and room to lie down for a rest. And even a little segment specifically for Spitter! With a trough! Hopefully for Spitter's food to come from, rather than end up in. But what sort of horses could possibly move a cart this robust with any sort of speed?
A half dozen large, metallic horses, looking very much like a Clockwork stripped of their sealing suit and cloaks/panchos/table clothes/what have you. They lack the livelyhood of a Clockwork, likely existing solely to pull the cart and supplies faster and longer than any normal horse could hope. But for now, it's the best they've got, and as soon as they're situated, the group follows suit to Stray; riding off into the sunset.
