Not AFTER it has been posted and I'd have to edit it, it doesn't have that feature. It was perfect in the writing-box.

... I actually just had a nightmare where I had this finely crafted post before me, perfect in every way, yet when I posted it magically turned into an unintelligible mess where every word was missing letters and likely had countless grammatical mistakes as well. Each word also somehow had this red bar under it to emphasize the errors despite that it was posted on the guild which doesn't have that feature. Hah.

She’d likely not make it in time for the first time he opened the door, but by silently stalking the guard until he was heading in again Wisp found her opportunity to slip inside. Assuming she did not trigger any alarm, she’d feel relief in that she had gotten this far without trouble. She’d keep her eyes out for security devices of any kind, just in case, while she drifted about and gleamed what she could from the contents of the boxes and what the grunts were doing, just in case.
But of course, the subjects of the most interest were likely inside the brighter room. This wasn’t necessarily a mission to get any dirt on them, but any kind of ammunition was nice. As such, it was time to get as much information on the situation as she could. She leaned at the wall beside the door, listening as intently as she could from outside since they had been so kind to leave the door ajar for her. It occurred to her that may actually have been the exact intention, but she’d pretend it wasn’t.
As she could turn light within her one-meter range, she could also turn the light from inside the room and guide it into her eyes to see inside without actually leaning in to peek. She did exactly that, while also straining her ears to hear what they were saying as well as possible. The question of “can Shatterpoint see me” still lingered within her mind, it was all too possible he would see floating points of weaknesses on her invisible body. But, if this was the room she was looking for, she’d likely enter eventually. But, first. Eavesdrop and see in from around the corner.
@Eklispe
Well, alright. I'll attempt posting in 24 to 27 hours.
And now to remind myself that, in exchange for her psionic prowess, I made Lataniva incapable of handling technology.
That said, what kind of comms are they? Handheld ones? Head-mounted ones?

@Crossfire It appeared that Grayson was the one in charge of the armory. In that case…
It was honestly completely fine if she couldn’t, she had survived this long without anything, but now that it appeared that they had an armory, it would be… nice.
Afterwards, Lataniva had mostly drifted about on the ship, perhaps taken a moment here and there to exercise her muscles and meditate on her psionic prowess, not really engaging in conversation with anyone unless she she was contacted herself. It wasn’t as if she wasn’t used to solitude, so she sought it out for now, and she considered different things. For now, however, she settled for being at peace with herself. So, then, when the call to arms came, she stood up swiftly and ran with precision towards the shuttles.
As commanded, she picked up one of the comm devices and… stared at it. She stared at it, trying to figure out which direction was what and how one would possibly put it on. The tall armored alien woman with bladed weapons and known psionic talents holding a comm upside-down stood trying to convince herself how one would use it.
‘If I may ask.’
She went and talked to him at some point before the next thing that happened.‘My weaponry is all quite deadly, but may struggle against shields. Do we have any striking-weapons that can destroy such defensive measures? No kind of projectile will do, unless it is thrown.’

‘… Assist me with this device.’
She turned and commanded with an annoyed glare at the next and closest person to get themselves a comm device.@Pink Madness Alright. Yeah, that is a sensible reaction, ain't it? Haha. Ducklett wasn't looking at you, though. Did I write that it did? Oh, well. Nicely posted!
BO Omnivore sounds nice.

Hey, @Holmishire! How about you write seeing Amelie be successful in her overly complicated attempt to save her life, and see what happens? ... Worst that can happen is that Terminal kills everyone you too! Hahaha!
Oh, yeah. Maybe I should have reacted to seeing the arrow on the car making stuff happen. ... Eh, I forgot. That was fun to write. XD
Edit: Oh, yeah. The previous Redirection Orb likely fell as Amelie did, as she couldn't make the next one without felling that one. Important detail.
Also, REALLY EDNA!? NO CAPES!? Let me tell you, what would have happened, had I not worn my cape-like cloak...! ... ... ... Okay, so I might still die, BUT STILL! XD

‘Wa-!’ Amelie cried out as a sudden weight befell her and she fell over due to having been made unsteady from the immediate pull of gravity.
Amelie fell on her side with with the cloak falling on an angle so it all fell on top of her. She had instinctively brought up her hands to her face to protect herself from the sudden fall. It became immediately obvious that some form of magic was doing work on her cloak, and she didn’t have long before it encompassed her. She had to get out.
She quickly formed a Redirection Orb with herself as the center. It took a second to manifest, a second which she used to untie the knot holding her cloak together, that part not yet metal. She could do this because she was lying on her side, as her body itself gave her hands wiggle-room by lifting the cloak by existing. With it no longer attached to her she pushed herself to turn with the help of gravity, landing on her back so she faced up towards her cloak. From here she pushed the cloak as hard as she could upwards from underneath. She did so as soon as she could with as much force as she could muster, hoping to create an opening at the top of the cloak.
Because this was happening within her Redirection Orb, this meant she could redirect the downward movement on the cloak caused by gravity to be directed upwards instead as soon as any of the cloak left her body. However, this was constantly counteracted by new immediate movement caused by gravity, so she couldn’t actually make it fly off her body. However, as downwards and upwards movement neutralized one another, it meant that with the addition of Amelie pushing it could lift the cloak. While it was still a matter of lifting a dramatic weight, any progress she made would not be instantly undone by gravity.
Redirecting movement only worked if the cloak was actually moving, but by turning to lie on her back from her side, she was creating pockets of movement that she could direct upwards, forcing gravity to push down, and that’s where her power kicked in and she could keep it in mid-air. She was aware of the entire cloak because she had felt how it was placed and could see most of it, and just had to counter the movements as she felt it rise. Then, when she was on her back, she could push upwards.
This, of course, probably wasn’t very fast, but Amelie only needed the slightest bit of wiggle-space.
By then essentially spasming her entire body, moving every single available muscle, she then caused movement energy in her own body. Using her Redirection magic, she took all this movement energy and used it to push herself out of the confined space where she was laying, out the top of her cloak. She continued spasming and used the movement energy to worm herself out the top, dragging herself out of the cloak while still lifting it as long as she could. This process would be pretty fast, as her muscles were more than strong enough to generate enough movement to push her a distance, the pain of being dragged across cobblestone aside.
If the metal turning reached the inside while she was lifting, she’d immediately let go and accept the height she had managed to lift the cloak to, using her Redirection Orb to keep it in mid-air, while she dragged herself out over cobblestone. This would work until she was out of her Redirection Orb, which would be pretty soon as it was only two meters in diameter, but by then she had hopefully gotten free enough that she could jerk her limbs to roll to safety. If she got that far she’d eventually land on her knees with her hands on the ground, breathing heavily in agitation and turning her head rapidly trying to confirm her current situation with her eyes.
Out of her cloak, she was merely wearing a plain white shirt on her torso, in addition to the black skirt and black pantyhose under over her legs, as well as her shoes. She just lost the cloak.
Tl;dr - Fall on side. Undo knot holding cloak together while making Redirection Orb around her. Roll onto back to create movement energy in cloak to push up. Lift cloak upwards using redirection of cloak’s downwards movement energy to counter gravity. Spasm body to redirect the movement energy from muscles to drag her out from under the cloak once any wiggle-room was created. If successful, roll onto knees breathing heavily while looking around to confirm current situation.
