Corrine smiled, her mind flickered as the slender figure of Elohim spoke… she remembered little of the meeting, but for the sudden spike that came near to severing the hold she had over Itzpaplotl and the wash of the nothingness that beat at the mechanical maiden’s core as she was able to pull back from the brink… but one other thing did stay with her, a flicker of conversation…<br/><br/><em> “….I have the urge to take the relic apart to see how it works…” </em>she smiled, as she watched the aged automation continue towards them, each step crackling against the terrain… Corrine slipped behind Elohim, her fingers momentarily trailing along her upper arm and shoulder; she said nothing, conveying her simple message along the sensitive array of sensors in her dermal covering.<br/><br/>A short distance away lay the mangled remains of a vehicle, its metal long since given to rust and the broken remains of the driver having near mummified, Corrine sought to rest herself against the twisted metal as she continued to watch the solid steps of the ‘prototype’ as it headed towards them, sensing the sparking on the ground with each footfall… Then she turned her mind to the angel of death that awaited him, she quirked her head and opened her mind towards the cooling ‘star’ at her heart… it was then Corrine narrowed her eyes<br/><br/>Something sparked at the edge of her senses and she took a few steps forward, her eyes narrowed and fixed against the far horizon… with so much death and devastation having been wielded at Elohim’s hand, the immediate vicinity had been all but wiped of sentient life, this made it a little easier to pinpoint a flicker of energy… the signature was confusing to her, its edges blurred and lacked the clarity that she would normally have associated with the energy of a normal mortal soul…. This meant only one thing to her… she narrowed her eyes and felt the feathering of her psionic abilities flow around her... a dark smile crossing her face as the air began to shimmer....<br/>
