Alert and decisive, balancing urgency with focus as the android’s fiery arrival complicates the rescue

Urgently focused, his immediate concern eclipsed by the android’s appearance
Sezon enters the cavern behind Katz, his firearm raised and roaring to fell the cavern beast with brutal efficiency. Once the creature is down, he barks orders to flee, his voice sharp with the authority of a leader who has seen the Borad’s technological enforcers before.
