Echo nods at Optic's assessment and with little more than a thought interfaces with her armor, sending it instructions for a new configuration. Plates of cerasteel composites click open and slide under one another to reveal four sets of metal loops with plastic guards around them. With an electric crackle, and a distinct scent of ozone, they light up with an unearthly blue/ultraviolet light that makes them shimmer and waver like heat mirages.
As if these were somehow wings, Echo levitates up a few feet off the ground and pivots to face towards the village Optic pointed out...though she cannot yet see it herself.
"There's no activity on radio bands, even communicator frequencies," she reports. "Either they're too far away, or no one's talking to each other yet. Our best course of action is to find and join forces with as many heroes as possible, as fast as possible. Alone, we will be relatively easy targets."
