The last collapse in this system had unleashed a swarm of sharp-jawed, fluffy bugs. When Rinzler hears the crash of metal, he wastes no time heading for this one. The enforcer rounds the corner, disk in hand—only to still at the unexpected sight: the same weapon, in the hands of a small shape still scrambling up from the chasm.
Not quite the same. The disk is lit in concentric pulses, forming a complete circle with no central hole. It's joined to intricate blue circuits, pale armor, and a strange helmet, less encasing than even the weak templates patched onto the conscripts in the Games. Something about the sight sends a stutter through assessment—a search, data flagged for comparison. [File not found]. The error rolls out through audio, adding a skipping catch to the harsh rattle of corrupted code.
...Yori's circuits. Encom. That comparison isn't difficult to make, and if it doesn't completely settle the uneasy pressure in his core, it's answer enough to at least put it aside. Rinzler resumes his approach, disk flaring and dimming in brief warning. If the [unknown] ahead decides to throw that weapon, it's going to find itself thoroughly outmatched.
