Disintegrates a machine army drone

She used the chunk of Machine Army tech she'd brought with her. Flung it out with telekinesis, so fast I thought it would be dashed to pieces. The size of a washing machine, it flew straight at one of the pieces of antigravity tech, was pushed away, and between the velocity and the pushback, came to a stop, a foot or two from the glowing panel.

"Shit!" I swore, as I flew up, back, taking in the cloud of mist, trying to remain peripherally aware of . There were labels marking the people who'd been caught in the midst of the cloud of disturbed earth. I kept track of them, mapped her approximate location, reached into a handhold to turn a dial, to make the laser fatter.

The beam cut through suspended ice and dust, burned it, and cleared something of a path. I tried to trace the Simurgh's path back to where she had been.

I found and hit a drone, and fried it beneath the laser. Metal turned to orange-white slag. Orange-white slag turned black, then became dust, caught by the stiff winds that didn't budge this snow and grit.

She'd brought two. One had latched onto Dragon's ship. One had melted beneath the laser.

I shot another two glowing blue lights I could see in the smoke. Two more machines broken. I didn't have the time to completely annihilate them, because I could see other lights and movements as the laser burned away more of the cloud.
