As the primes exited the elevators on the administration floor, Kopaka could immediately tell that something was amiss. A stark white light was shimmering forth from the recesses of the head librarian's office. The other stormtroopers and Athena all had a nervous stiffness about them, but Kopaka was used to staring into the face of danger. Not to say that Athena was not staunch, in and of herself, but the apprehension muted her movements.
Kopaka wasn't entirely without concern, either. To be brazen in the face of the unknown was to be foolish. The toa did, however, note patterns that tended to indicate danger, and for whatever reason, the white glow itself did not seem perilous. As such, Kopaka calmly strode towards the office and passed the two storm trooper guards, who were keeping their weapons trained on the spectacle therein.
The treacherous librarian from earlier lie in a pool of blood, and the receptionist rahi, whose name Kopaka did not know, was floating quiescently in the air. An aura of pure radiande emanated from her being, seemingly concentrated around the horn on her head.
Kopaka looked her over carefully, trying to discern what had happened. She did not have any form of biological effluvia on her person, which, based on her superior's physicak trauma, rendered it unlikely that she had had a hand in his demise. Furthermore, Kopaka's acute knack for attention to detail brought the pendant on her neck to his attention. The female had not been wearing this earlier. Intuitioj dictated that the toa simply remove the suspect baubel, but Kopaka refrained. Elemental forces and the the laws of his own universe were well known to him, but this energy seemed to be of a more foreign nature.
"Athena, the necklace. Can you discern anything of it?" Kopaka asked, gesturing at the item. He didn't bother to check to see if Athena was, in fact, with him in the room. Based on her nature, it was unlikely she'd be anywhere else.
