Entering the room, Katya wasted no time raising her weapon pointed at the modified Logic Gate. Even if Katya didn’t want to harm Elora, Katya could not risk being caught off guard. It was evident the Cruxi had been busy in doing something to Elora. She could not take the risk even if Katya was still unsure if it became needed she could command her werk fire Marker Light. Katya hopped Elora would not attack them. Still, in case, she did, and Katya found herself unable to fire. She deployed her attack drones. Knowing if something happened they would engage without mercy. 

It was then she heard Elora voice in her mind. Something Katya found unsettling. Part of her said it wasn’t right to hear Elora voice in her head.  Too much it worse hearing Elora to run only enhanced that feeling. It forming a knot in her stomach. Her sync rate dropping slightly as Elora spoke and she grew more conflicted.  Katya deploying her three remaining combat drones as the speaker like things on the wall came to life and from them a voice Katya would never forget spoke. Even if it was badly distorted, she could understand it. The electronic voice giving her a sense of impending dread causing the knot in her stomach to grow more preannounced.  As the voice spoke the drones leaping to the ground from Caretakers drone bay hitting the ground. Before moving, to form a firing line aimed at Logic gate. 

It was then a Cruxi Elite appeared, Katya quick to recognise it as the Cruxi that first snatched  Elora away. Anger mixing with a feeling of dread as part of her wanted to bring everything Caretaker had to bare on that accursed Cruxi. But before Katya could swing Caretaker around or command her drones to engage. Katya saw the modified Logic Gate start to shake intensely and flailing its arms. What came next was something Katya had never experienced. The young woman's hand move to cover her ears out of some futile attempt to stop the mental scream. Katya’s overwhelmed by the attack. Failed to notice the alarm starting to blare in her cockpit one signalled her sync rate had dropped to critical levels. 

Katya paralysed unable to do anything. The sensory overload too much for her minus writhing in her chair trying to merely endure the attack. Katya unaware what was going on around her. Minus for hearing Serah’s scream get added into the mix over the comms. Unaware that Serah’s sync rate had fallen low enough to put that Atty went into Culling. Her only sign something was wrong was when her cockpit rocked as Atty’s attack connected with Caretaker. Damaging the werk and knocking it off balance.  Without Katya manning the controls the rear heavy werk feel backwards. Katya still overwhelmed by the psionic attack.

The moment Attay’s attack connected with Caretaker the drone control node shut down it’s user interface. The control panel Katya used to control her drones going dark. The HUD space dedicated to the drones showing new commands being issued along with clicking sounds of the drone control node. The Edens being activated and deployed to repair the damage done by Atty’s attack. 
Katya hearing the clicks forced herself to look at her part of HUD for drones. Able to make out the what was causing her control nodded to click.
[b]MAIN SYSTEM: PESREVATION MODE: ROUGE ALLIED AA-XOTRY TARGETED: 3 ARTEMIS ATTACK DRONES ACTIVE. TARGETING … STANDBY … DRONES ENGAGING. EDEN DRONES DEPLOYING RUNNING REPAIR SUBROUTINE BETA 3 … [/b]
Katya unable to understand the rest of the data the HUD displayed.The pilot for the moment unable to think of the reason why her drones would start acting out on their own. Once again overwhelmed by the pyoinc attack. 

The moment the Artemis were giving orders to target Atty they did so. Moving quickly as they could the repositioned. Following the werk as it moved to the side of the room taking a defensive position. The drones following the orders of the control mode engaged Atty with volley of laser cannon fire. Having engaged Atty the drones would not stop until the werk was no longer a deemed a threat to Caretaker or Katya’s sync rate improved and Katya ordered the drones to stop.
