"Uh... What are you doing?"
The construct walks out of the building after the escapees.

"Probably? I'm not sure what they're made out of. At least I know what hurts these things..."
Umbra takes off his hardlight shield emitter and hands it to Danu. "You might need this. Better safe than sorry, anyway." He then shifts into his actual Anomaly form, floating about a half-inch off the ground.

"...Firstly, I don't think anyone said you were useless. Secondly, I'm pretty sure that's the Guards' job first. Maybe you'd have to do that as a last resort, but... I don't know, I've never been a mayor."

"You aren't useless if you aren't being given the tools you need to do your job. But it probably wouldn't have hurt to ask around some if getting those tools wasn't obvious."

Danu tries on the shield emitter, activating it to see what it does. She looks it over carefully.

"That thing on the other hand, is useless. All the sorrow misery chaos and fear of the world lumped into one, fused into a bleak lump that blindly lashes out at anything it can reach. At least, if it is anything like what usually takes that sort of form."

Jim slows and gives the scene a double and then a triple take
"None of my business." He mumbles as he passes by, eyes forward again.

Jim continues along to his quarters and grabs his woodsman's axe along with his proper pack, leaving his forgeman's tools behind.
He moves for the nearest shuttle headed to Woodport. 'About time to go chopping.'

//Something something the planet's supposed to be mostly barren with only small pockets of 'forest'. not that anyone cares anymore.

A shield of hardlight materializes in the air in front of the emitter. It moves with it; it seems that the brace pretty much acts as the straps on an actual shield would.
The construct steps out into the open.

The purple crystals scattered around the construct's body gleam a little in the sunlight.
