The Caliburn's sliding ended just a few meters short of a mine, the thin layer of earth that was layered over it swept off by the force of air moved by the Frame. It was a round disc colored in stripes of brown and blue and with a pressure button at it's center. On its own, Caliburn did not set the trap off...
[hr]
Lower deckers gave alarming developments of the mock battle: "Miles Vayne's Synchronization Rate has dropped down to zero percent! The Frame's not responding!" "The Frame's sustained critical damage to the torso, and his life signs have dropped below safety thresholds! He has incurred major damage to the ribs, shoulders and cranium!"

[color=f26522]"That's impossible, the suits should protect them from injuries like that!"[/color] Lorenzo lashed back. [color=f26522]"Unless he's bashing his own head against the console like an idiot it's simply out of the-"[/color] [color=0054a6]"Professor, he may have not equipped it. We can't tell until after the exercise, but that is a possible reason for the concussion."[/color] The Liutenant moved her eyes to the old man, and then back to the monitors.

[color=f26522]"That arrogant prick,"[/color] Lorenzo said in a low voice, and pressed a red button. The Komodo then deactivated, turned limp and stopped resisting Rose's grappling as it hanged in the air, before dropping down to the ground in a loud thud, kicking up dust in a tall cloud. [color=f26522]"He wants broken bones? He's going to have plenty of them when I'm done with him."[/color]
[hr]
Elora watched as the Komodo got hit by Archer's shot, and was eliminated from the mock battle. It was then that she realized that Miles may have been hurt if not outright killed by such a powerful attack, and slightly regretted the aggressiveness she showed against him. She was scared at the side of her that wanted to bring pain to the boy, and shivered at what she thought she was becoming. It wasn't like her. However, she didn't have much time to think on it when she watched her map, and saw how Setsuka's movement abruptly stopped in zone C. Her irises shrinked, and she immediately contacted Koehler and Ryan: [color=8dc73f]"Zone C is a trap, don't go there!"[/color] She looked at Ryan's position, and saw him dashing straight to the zone. [color=8dc73f]"Ryan! Don't do it!"[/color] Diver launched off, and headed to zone C as fast as she could, dashing around and through the pillars in a desperate attempt to stop what he was doing.

She reached zone C, and hovered over the ground so she would avoid any ground-based traps. Then she saw Macabre, and how it charged straight at the Caliburn. The faster Frame knocked the sturdier Frame slightly backwards by the impact, and set off the mine: both of them were caught in the blast radius, and were glued by the payload, unable to move. [color=8dc73f]"Ryan! Are you okay?"[/color] Elora frantically asked, not sure of what to do. If she went to move closer and help him, she could risk setting off one of the mines. Her hands trembled, and panic started to take hold of her. Her voice wavered as she opened the voice channel to Koehler: [color=8dc73f]"R-Ryan's...trapped..."[/color]
[hr]
"Sir, there was something else," one of the lower deck scientists added. "Mai Twilight's Synchronization Rate spiked to 100%."

[color=f26522]"What?"[/color] Lorenzo blurted out before he could sip his caffeine-based synthetic drink. [color=f26522]"Did it drop?"[/color]

"Yes, sir. It only lasted a second before returning to normal."

[color=f26522]"Fascinating. The last time that happened her mother had very interesting things to say..."[/color]

[color=0054a6]"Professor, you can't mean-"[/color]

[color=f26522]"I do. It may have happened again. Damn you Cain...you could be right about her."[/color]
