Christine has been absorbed in the "how do you get the tiny, screaming, clinging alien to let go" conundrum. It grabbed her mask and braids and wrapped its legs around her bicep back when she fired the plasma cannon.
Growling at it has not worked. Neither has a quiet command. Neither has splashing water on it. Neither has roaring. Neither has hanging upside-down over a two-story drop (one hand at its back) loosened its grip. Truly these are tenacious creatures. Heat crosses her mind next, but the bar humans are extremely careful about flame, and she can hardly risk harming it after taking the responsibility of saving it.
Which is why an innocent paramedic, having just cleared a guy after he had a minor rubble-related injury, is lurched at by a giant shape.
She had forewarning.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" announces Christine's passenger, which it has been doing tenaciously for some time.

"You. Remove this."
