Kira likewise stopped upon hearing the sounds of the skirmish coming from down the hall. Not one to shy away from a fight, and itching to knock some more heads after having her trip back home ruined by these wetsuit-clad jerks, a smirking Kira took a step toward the source of the noises.

"[color=7ea7d8]Keep going towards the engine room. I'll catch up with you soon.[/color]"

The blur that Kana had become whizzed by her before she could fully register what the woman had said, though the pause that sudden movement gave her lasted long enough for her to do so. She...wasn't fully confident she could keep up with that kind of movement in a fight, the wide-eyed Kira decided, at least not without hindering it with gravity, which would be counter-intuitive with them fighting on the same side. It was probably best to stay out of the crossfire of that one.

Kira turned back on course toward the sound of the engine still coming from the open door they hadn't arrived at yet. "You heard the lady. We keep goin' this way. C'mon."

She resumed walking at the same pace they had been before Kana's departure, deciding to use the time it would take to reach the room to get some information flow going. If they were going to run into trouble in the engine room, it might be helpful for them to know what to expect from one another. "My Septima lets me manipulate the magnitude and direction of gravity, either for myself, objects in my line of sight, or for every living thing in an area around myself. I can't target specific living things with the effect. So if I tell you to hold onto me, you hold on tight, okay? And maybe close your eyes if you get motion sick easy."
