There was no mistaking it. Khan, Liiza, and even Zalpa realized that point as soon as the taller black figure's presence seeped through the ships' open channels. That entity was an evolved warrior.
Nevertheless, the trio noticed something odd about that presence, especially Khan. As powerful and fearsome as it felt, its power didn't seem to come from energy sources Khan and the others could recognize.
That unmistakable might didn't come from the mana, or rather, it seemed to originate from something similar but also entirely different. It was a strange aspect that allowed the trio to experience its power without being able to study its nature.
Of course, Khan didn't let that surprising feature stun him. He didn't dwell on that mutual inspection. His hands had never left the control desk, and he sealed them on the steering wheel as soon as he acknowledged the newcomer's power.
