[color=#DAEE01][b]"Minimize ethereal usage and keep your heads on a swivel, call out any incoming as soon as you have eyes on! Do not fire if any incoming doesn't make a hostile move, we don't need more attention on us. If they do make a move, weapons free!"[/b][/color]

[color=5FADAD][i]'Wilco, providing cover.'[/i][/color] Kind indicated, their form adopting a grimace of distaste for the twitching eel corpse that had been deposited at their feet.

Even as King's message went out, their humanoid form began to contort and shift. The surface of their clothes and skin fuzzed over with scintillating rays of soft halflight; the construct's surface texture abating and exposing ever-so-briefly the nearly crystalline and frigid internal space of their hard-light composition. Its humanoid shape deformed and expanded, briefly becoming nearly as bloblike as the puppeteer entity itself before flattening and expanding outwards into a concave-impressioned, rectangular surface that shimmered as it hung in the air before its coloration drained away, leaving behind only a high-opacity shimmer in the air akin to wavering heat with only the faintest suggestion of crystalline lines of force binding it in place to indicate King's presence.

The makeshift, transparent barrier King had reformed themselves into was not perfect - even stretched and expansive as they had become, they could not cover the entire squad in disarray as they were unless everybody decided to become comfortably well-acquainted with each others' personal space in a hurry, and the floating barrier notably hovered nearly half a meter above the floor itself. King also then continued to move, orienting to position themselves between the doorway and the etheric entities while the team repositioned.
