Events were in motion and Rendyl was scared. She glanced towards the dead corpse still sitting seventeen feet away, over to her pod that was three feet behind her, and suddenly the thought of her parents entered her mind. The girl doubted they intended for their daughter to end up at the end of a scathing glare an alien who didn't know if Rendyl was a threat or not, but her father had pounded into her that she had strengths. Some were obvious, like being small to fit into tight places that adults couldn't. Others more vague like being clever. But he would always tell her that no one learned what they could do unless they tried.

Rendyl closed her eyes and pinched them tight in concentration and curled her body a bit closer to her core. To observers it'd look like she was in pain, but what happened next would shatter any image of this girl they would've had.


Rendyl lifted her head and stared directly at Aamra. Every member of the crew would feel a very strange sensation zip from the base of their skull up to the crown of their head in a jagged line, leaving a strong tingling across the back of their scalp as though a miniature bolt of electricity had went through their head. For the security officer and Luirae, it would be borderline painful.

The robotic soldiers on board would not be affected.
