Seems as if it might be a mistake for (Cent-Comm Override) to leave CeCi un-briefed and confused. Ms. Crunched Cat needs attention and Dolly needs watching too!
yes but CeCi isnt suppose to have ANY weapons offccially there for including a easy open pop top would invite far too many questions , the weapon operates via magnetetic fields and doesnt need to be exposed to actually fire , what shes looking at is the heat by-product from "NOT " firing the weapon if she had released the ball of energy it wouldnt have been there long enough to do damage.. however situation was assessted not fireing was the far smarter action. and the ball was simply "let go" thus the reaction you see here...
*(I think way way down deep that that has its roots in so-called helicopter parenting.)
