Mettaton is going to be hanging out at the wreckage to scavenge and help anyone that's hurt (including prison staff and non-Audentes prisoners. What? He has a heart! and they might prove useful and easy to intimidate for information). He'll be fine after the crash, though maybe a little shaken up and sticking to his box-form to save on power after his lightshow. He's a little bit more determined to prove he's important to the team and a good person after being an enormous brat in the prison and 360 no-scoping some of his cr. Electrocuting the shit out some bitches helped, but now violence isn't going to solve much.

On the plus side: while nothing physical can go over the barrier, his projections still can. In the spirit of maintaining his usefulness, he's going to set up a marker in the beginning area so the other search-parties know which way they're headed. Like a compass north.

ALSO u kno damn well the first thing he did was get his glitter and gel pens back. Who wants to use them for marking paths?

(Or, worse, find all his diaries)
