Shenestra waited as she watched the progress of the automaton, as it moved around to the west side of the crystal pedestal. Shenestra could only guess it was seeking out the infiltrator responsible for the power outage and the death of the two guards. However, why it did not search the room in a complete patrol pattern Shenestra could not guess. Once it reached the other side, it seemed to have extended a limb to the platform. 

[i]"Energy fluctuation detected zero point 11:00 degrees due north-west."[/i]

Beeped the Akarid spirit slaved too her wrist Gauntlet. Speaking directly into her mind from the link they shared. It seemed the construct was either preparing something or recharging the crystals. Shenestra had not guessed it could do so from a distance without ascending the platform. That meant she would have to readjust her planned approach slightly. Nothing that should pose a problem in her mind. 

The sound of explosions could just be faintly heard from outside, he keen ears picking up the distinct sound of autocannon fire. The second phase of the plan she guessed had been completed she could only assume. Things were about to get allot more difficult for the defenders above. Hopefully it would not endanger the entire settlement, as that would complicate the mission unnecessarily. All Shenestra had to do now was stall for time. Which meant dispatching this newcomer or forestalling the crystals repairs. Suddenly with a thought Shenestra then vanished as she entered the wraith realm, the world suddenly became shadows of pale grey and dark black shadowy ink. 

The change always sent a slight chill through her body, but she quickly dismissed the momentary discomfort. Now within the wraith realm she could more easily approach her target despite the direction he now faced. Even if he had possessed thermal imaging or used some magical means of detection. They would be equally useless in detecting a being in a small pocket dimension. She moved then, circling around to the north entryway then passed it as she angled herself to the constructs left side. Always keeping a pillar or two and 15 feet between her and the metal man. If she reached his 6 O'clock unmolested, and if the clockworkman continued his repairs. She would then circle towards his back, two rods already in each hand, but yet not activated. 

She moved with skilled silent steps, moving slowly and precisely, over (sometimes under) wires or cables, as she approached. If by the time she reached within striking range with no outward response from the construct she would take a combat stance just 8 feet behind him. Her feet set wide apart, bent slightly at the knees, her right arm posed across her chest, the rod at an angle pointing slightly toward the ground with her left arm hung across her lower stomach, ready to shoot up for an attack or block. She could not harm it while within the wraith realm, but she could ready herself to attack when she disengaged her cloak. She managed to take note of the fact from this point that he was using his left arm, no doubt leaving his right open to draw the pistol at his side. Shenestra planned on making sure he never got the chance. 

She dismissed her cloaking-field, and the world suddenly jumped back to life, a slight feeling of vertigo followed as it always did. She lost precocious seconds recovering, but in the blink of an eye she moved then. Shooting forward raising from her slight crouch as she swung her right arm around, aiming for the constructs neck. The thinner joints there would prove easier to slice through then most of the rest of him. And indeed a dark violet light shaped like a scythe like blade sprung from the rod then, making it a kama like bladed weapon in the span of a second. Reflexes honed from decades of training and boosted by her suits enchantments allowed her to cover the 8 feet in just a second. Which might leave just under three seconds for the construct to respond before her, hopefully, surprise attack landed. 

If of course he had stopped his repairs of the crystals, and taken some other action. Shenestra would have simply stopped her slow advance and taken cover behind a pillar ready to respond to any change in tactic.
