Kaede stopped responding in words; they seemed superfluous now, pointless sound. She'd seen enough of Liir's thought-colors to know who he was by now, no matter his new appendages.
A vector curled around the corner, and her scowl deepened at the beeping sound she heard. There was a gun waiting there--of course. The slight distortion of the vector made the gun's targeting AI respond anyway; they were built with mutants in mind, no surprise there.
The vector wiggled its "fingers", resonance accelerating until it became visible from the wrist down, a floating ghost-light of a hand. The turret beeped again, fired--but it wasn't a hail of plasma. They were...darts? Low energy ones, sharp enough to pierce skin, but not to kill or really injure. The darts pattered into the wall, most sticking in it. It wasn't too hard to guess what they were for.
Well, she could deal with that.
More vectors followed the first, linking together until they formed a shield further darts simply bounced off of, giving herself and Liir an almost two meter bubble to move under.
