[Slipstream shutters one optic in a wink, just to make it more obvious she's acting. She wouldn't want anyone to get the idea she's genuinely helpless or that it has anything to do with the slight difference between herself and her template.]
[As the monster moves ever closer, in its curious, off-balance manner, Slipstream continues to play helpless. Wait, she tells herself. Wait. Then, as it swings a fleshy appendage, Slipstream sweeps its feet with one leg. The blunt, swollen appendage scuds just over Slipstream's faceplate as the monster twists in the air and falls headfirst from the ledge.]
