Xoanon’s Destruction Beam

A lurid, jagged stream of blue-white energy lances from the doorway mouth of Xoanon’s core chamber. It lacks any visible emitter or barrel, materializing purely as a condensed violation of space, hot enough to atomize organic tissue in milliseconds. The beam strikes Neeva mid-scream, cutting her from existence with clinical precision, then retracts as silently as it arrived while the computer’s cold voice confirms her annihilation.
