That sound of crunching bones? The blue glow coming from her chest? Not good signs. Nor is the sound of the crowd, which is a mix of disbelief, anger, and something else that Aeryn recognizes from when people who'd been oppressed by the Peacekeepers found a lone one in their midst. It's the sound of a mob about to turn on someone, if something doesn't give first.

I think you're done.
[ The other woman is still screaming in pain, and Holli probably won't immediately let go, so. ]
