Kane gestures to his guards. Weapons raise.
Subdue them. The anchor point and the test subjects are to be secured at all costs.
Chaos erupts as enforcers open fire. Valentine reacts instantly, shoving Thorne and Elara behind a stasis pod as energy blasts shatter the one beside them.

Multiple hostiles. Recommend using temporal displacement to create an opening.
Valentine nods, focusing his energy. He raises his hand, and the air around him shimmers. Time seems to slow for the approaching enforcers, their movements becoming sluggish.
Now, Elara! Get the others out!
Elara helps the disoriented test subjects toward a side exit while Thorne provides cover fire. Kane watches, unimpressed.
Your parlor tricks won't save you, Valentine. I designed your abilities.
