After almost two minutes of DIANTO running a data bore into the Loop simulacrum, the body snapped into action suddenly, the four lenses on its main neuroptic plate blinking to a dull neon purple as the body's left arm reached up to deftly remove the datajack plugged into its terminal systems. It moved into a cross-legged seating position, forcefully enough to put itself into a continuous front-flip in its space. Its magnetic field had dissipated, and its weapons were now floating freely in the room, though none of them were powering up, thankfully. At least one of those weapons looked to Nilam like something you would not want free-floating.

Still in its rapidly spinning position, legs folded and hands on its knees, the A.I. spoke in a clipped approximation of Captain Blackwell's language.

"I am tactical Virtual Intelligence supplement Lachesniv, assistant to this entity's Mind. I am not currently hostile."
