As you get closer, Nibum, you realize a few things about the orc mage.
1) She's a she. Her bare arms and legs are tattooed with the sinuous illithid script.
2) She just walked out a small door that seems to lead to a tiny room. Was she just standing in there waiting? Or does the doorway somehow connect to other parts of the station?
3) She is floating just above the ground.
Your grenade hits her in the face and does enough to damage to kill one of the technicians or bloody a supervisor. She wipes the snow away and says in badly-accented Draconic: "Nice snowball, little vun."
4) She is definitely the most dangerous thing you have encountered on this station so far.
