The creature was possessing her, and giving her a simple request.

Break anything and everything around her.

Bright orange fluctuating infernal runes flowed in a jagged diagonal path out of the device, which imploded on itself from the heat, and traveled up Manon’s arm.

The runes settled on a single word, branding the word into her arm. Although she could not read it, her mind began to understand it. —

The civilians dropped to the floor, regardless of what they were carrying, and began to convulse, flailing as if falling in midair.

Several lines of infernal code flowed through the ground as they passed through the civilians, leaving runes burned into the ground below them.

<Curses... Just when things were getting interesting.>
These were its last "thoughts" before a large explosion lit up the sky, with many pieces of Sentinel falling onto Midtown below.
