Loki's diving form suddenly halted. A particle beam as thick as an arm, fired from a low-orbit satellite, streaked past in front of him. Had he not stopped, that powerful Particle Beam Cannon, almost spanning the sky and visible as though it were material, would have struck him directly. "The targeting system is adjusting parameters based on Loki's sudden-stop data... Adjustment complete..." The moment Loki escaped being hit, the weapon satellite aimed at this stretch of sky began making cross adjustments to its beam emitter.
