McPhereson is gone by the time Darwin is finished, but whatever dragged him away didn't bother with the range detonator, and Darwin thinks it might be safer for them just to leave it there.

"Annalee?" he asks into his helmet but all he hears is silence and his own labored breathing.

Darwin's heads-up clamors and begs, but he ignores it and disengages the safeties, opening up the full amount of his power armor's remaining supply.

He could probably make it to the elevator from where he stands, but he's not going there yet.

Instead, he digs the fingers of his power armor into the rock until it starts to compress, and diverts all the strength in his armor to the legs.

"Annalee," Darwin says her name again into the empty black.

So great is the distance that Darwin feels vertigo, as though he lies suspended in the air, and only the navigation of the heads-up allows him to plot his vector, and he sees that he has aimed his power armor perfectly, for the peak where Annalee hangs suspended appears beneath him and swells in size until it eclipses his vision!

The webbing is tough and sticky, and begins to smoke as the friction of the bit heats it up. At one point Darwin thinks the autobore might seize up from the tangled mess, but then the last of it snaps away and Annalee's body sags loose.
