Raijinslayer"And as you've said, Conablum, you are using psychic suppressant fields which likely originate from similar technologies. Correct?"
The alien's sudden sass contrasted with its lack of emotional content in its tone. Its voice never changed, which could seem unnerving to unprepared individuals. With that said, Cyano proceeded to invoke the lab's capabilities by shooting in the air which in turn signaled it to warp the two entities via one of the teleporters she mentioned earlier. It took longer than the one in the Ethereal's disposal, but it did the job nonetheless which is what counted. They were now in Conablum labs where a couple of staff members were seated but didn't manifest any verbal reaction. It didn't seem to human of them, but the alien couldn't take the humans from the Earth it invaded as reference, after all they could very well have evolved to depraved psychopaths with the only goal to progress and dominate the weak. Speaking of which, the overlord had studied Cyano's behavior since the beginning. Though still uncertain, it detected sociopathic tendencies within her, a form of lack of caring could be sensed from her.
The Etheral could sense the suppressing field limiting the range of its power, but it wasn't completely almighty. The four armed being would release one of those arms from its cloak and swiftly form a mass of concentrated psionic energy, creating a Psi-lance without effort. Manifesting Psionic powers in physical form didn't seem to be affected by the field, however psionic influences did. It would attempt a quick Mindfray on one of the staff members, something harmless, but it would fail. Psi-Panic however would succeed, albeit with more effort than necessary. The one running the teleporter would feel somewhat dizzy before falling over having lost their balance.
"This field is indeed powerful. Though still limited in regards to the 'Gift'. Shall we swiftly explore the core of your establishment before we decide whether it would be an asset to us or not?"
The Ethereal leader would float toward the panel previously manned by the now disoriented scientist, gathering data in its computer-like mind as it studied the hardware in sync. Although a lot had changed, it resembled a lot like older human technology at their core. Evidently far more evolved of course. It recognized the basis and figured out why this woman was confident that her labs were to be considered prestigious by even intergalactic entities. Of course, it would have see more before making a sensible conclusion. Would Cyano actually be of value to the Dark Outliners despite what they've already amassed? The Ethereal Army was a great way to have rapid infantry, efficient data gathering and overall technological options. But the core military muscle and established influence were already there. It would only be if Conablum labs made themselves particularly unique that the Ethereal's speech would change in regards to the owner.
