It's coming from further out in the desert, and Furiosa will have to think on what that might mean later. She can see a plume of dust coming up where it approaches, smaller and less impressive than a Fury Storm, but still distinctly frightening simply because of the unknown it represents. Swearing under her breath, she makes a move as if to get between the oncoming creature and the car that represents their only escape route.
"Throttle! Start the engine, go! Spine, load up fast, I'll try and hold it off for a minute and catch up."
It's a foolhardy move, maybe; she's got her gun drawn and ready, and she knows she's a good shot, but since they have no clear idea what they're facing...
Well. It might take more than a bullet to kill this thing.
Nevertheless, Throttle is quick to obey, scrambling into the driver's seat. He is, in fact, a mediocre driver, half-trained, but he knows the kill switch sequence at least. Neither of them is looking to see whether the Spine is going to do what he's told. Throttle assumes everyone knows to obey Furiosa. Furiosa assumes Spine has the common sense to want to be out of danger ASAP.
The creature assumes they're all edible, but there are three different opportunities to feed here, so rather than surge up directly under one of them, it sends out questing tentacles, headed for Furiosa's boots, as she's the closest.
