Kinslow and Dowling then come for her and they asks her to come with them, she can refuse but it wouldn’t do her well. They tells her she belongs with them and if she comes with them they will let the remaining humans live. They would do this as a favour to her not to get her to come with them, knowing it is the humans best chance she agrees to come with them. The babies then lift her up and carry her away, they lower her through one of the manholes gently and then carry her away from the power station.
