*Mergoux staggers and falls back from the shockwave. She grunts as she lands hard on her butt and makes sure her helm hasn't slipped. She watches the chaos with mild horror, not having seen tech like this before, or indeed a real explosion like this.*
*After several moments she gets to her feet and staggers towards the chaos, trying to see if maybe there's something she can do.*


*Xan screams at the explosion, more out of fear and panic than actual hurt, though her arm still burns immensely. She huddles and transforms back into human form, trying to make herself as small a target as possible*
Xan: No! Loud!
