It seemed like everyone was in, so Komatani stepped up to start the instructions; such as they were.

"This is as safe a spot as you're going to find here. We've set up a perimeter to keep out the shadows, so all you need to worry about is not hitting each other with the shinmen."

She waved toward the array of targets, fairly well spread out to avoid that precise problem. "The guys in the lab coats tell me that once it's out, controlling it is just like moving a muscle. You'll know what it can do, now that you're gonna be more conscious for it."

She clapped her hands together, the sound resonating dully. "All right, get to it! I know you're tempted, but try not to hit anything but the targets, all right? Don't push yourselves, go at your own pace."

Horaoku had come in behind them, and was fiddling with the pile of mystery equipment with a practiced hand.
