Caiatl looked down at the [[Awoken]] leader, suddenly aware that her avarice had been on display. She lowered her tusks, which the commander interpreted as equivalent to a blush.

"That would be most welcome, Commander," Caiatl replied. "I'd like to fire it into [[Xivu Arath]]'s belly and bathe in her [[soulfire]]."

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Much alike other weapons of its kind ([[Hard Light]], [[Borealis]]), this weapon will default back to inflicting Void damage when a Guardian is resurrected, or they enter a new activity. Remembering to change the element the gun fires is important if running an element-dependent build.
