Secunda, still trapped in the cloning pod, observed the miracles with a degree of stoic resignation. As one venerable Sister Famulous once uttered with merry bitterness in her croaky voice... "When nothing can be done - relax, observe, and let the Emperor sort it out for you, cog-lass". She denied the optimism of staying alive - the newfound enemy of her enemy has been under no obligation to be her saviour, after all. In fact, that could still be a gambit to win her trust. More convoluted and less likely schemes were planned as cogs spinned within cogs in the Isohedron See-Tertio Bastion. She denied the rage as the miracle saviour proceeded to smash her laboratory with stray explosions. She had only herself to blame for that - stupid paranoid data-djinni that she put in charge of autodefense systems denied [i]her[/i] accesses, while two active trespassers were turning her little sanctum into the battleground. She designed the whole thing, after all, having admitted that she was capable of making sufficient mistakes that would lead to this particular place seeing any activity in the first place. She even denied the curiosity at this point. Whatever this [i]thing[/i] was, whatever foul emerald gizmo it brought into the play - she'll either learn its functions in the immediate future through immediate observation or, in a rare case of a happy ending, through personal interaction after she's done dissecting the frame of the wielder. Gathering Knowledge for its own sake would mean bowing to the God-Machine alone, ignoring the warnings against misguided inquisitiveness streaming from the Omnissiah and neglecting the practical usage of the gathered data to honour the Motive Force. Yet another test from the Godhead Trinity, indubitably. Secunda could only hope that whatever stray blast or rolling shockwave shatters the armoglass of the decanter pod, she would not be shattered herself as a sad case of collateral damage. She already died three times to direct action - would've been unfortunate to die the fourth and final time on a complete accident.
