Almeiden's AI partner registered the vibrations a split second before the quake hit. In that time, it managed to locate it's epicenter, and alert Almeiden to the the danger. Creating what he needed at the speed of thought, a dozens of small, grappling hook like spikes shot out of his armor and into the ground and surrounding trees, trailing lines of a silvery looking fiber. When the shockwave reached him, all of the lines grew taut and thrummed like guitar strings whilst absorbing the vibrations and dissipating them harmlessly.

He then retracted the lines back into his armor and focused on the origin of the quake, quickly locating the being who had propagated it. Almeiden then switched his armor into stealth mode, absorbing the vibrations of his movement, and the heat his body gave off, while simultaneously redirecting visible light spectrum and electromagnetic waves around him to render him invisible to sight and radar. Almeiden began moving slowly toward the strange being who gave off no life signs.
