Android Assassin's Energy Beam

A concentrated violet energy beam erupts from the android assassin's forearm-mounted emitter, lancing across the Pavilion with surgical precision. The beam leaves a faint ionized trail in the air and carries a low hum just below hearing, its heat scorching the stone floor where it strikes. The weapon's discharge is almost silent compared to traditional firearms, matching the assassin's unnatural stillness before it springs to fire. Lamia's guttural command to kill triggers the device without hesitation, its programming overriding any hesitation.
