For a moment, Alana just stayed kneeling there.  She panted, trying to recover her breath while at the same time figure out what had just happened.  The blue light seemed to indicate she was caught in one of the flashes Rene had described, but she had no clue what could have made that.  The fact that the light traveled through the roof and ceiling of the room was highly disconcerting.  She glanced up to see if there was any damage to the structure above her.<br/><br/>She pondered Rene's question for a moment before answering.  Even though the beam had produced such extreme pain, she couldn't seem to determine any reason for it.  Her skin seemed fine, with no burning or blistering.  All her limbs worked appropriately.  No bones or tendons were broken.  She stood and tested herself out, then finding no irregularities, responded.<br/><br/>"I.... I think I'm alright.  That hurt like heck, but I don't think it has any lasting effect.  I assume that was one of the blue beams?" she asks, adding a wry, but anxious, smile.
