Editing Sveta Karelia (section)

===[[Gold Morning]]===
Sveta was with the [[Irregulars]] when they attended the meeting at the opening of the event. She was basically 'worn' by Weld but kept silent throughout.<ref>Weld’s Irregulars. Weld had altered his look, a little more edgy, a little less human. Segments of his metallic flesh stood out like horns or scales, and the veins and crevices were deeper.<br/><br/>Strangest of all was that he was ''wearing'' another of the case fifty-threes, in addition to his thick canvas pants. Tendrils encircled his arms and legs, wound around his fingers. Loops of metal, in turn, bound the tendrils, locking them into place, or helped direct them into and through his limbs. All of the tendrils led to the same point, to a pale girl’s face, with Cauldron’s mark on her cheekbone. She had no body I could make out, no hair, only the tendrils. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/17 Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.2]]</ref>

She deployed with the rest of the team to [[Oil-rig battle|the oil rig]]. She was heavily damaged by Scion while shielding her team. While notably still intact afterward she was nevertheless injured and reduced in effectiveness.<ref name="27.5e1">Scion erupted with golden light. It wasn’t the sort of attack one dodged. Instantaneous, hitting everything in every direction.<br/><br/>My skin began to blister, the golden light searing through it, appearing in the ridges between spots where flesh was simply being eaten away.<br/><br/>I scrambled for cover<br/>[...]<br/>The light faded. I checked, then climbed back over the edge.<br/><br/>Weld and his people had taken cover. Sanguine was covering injuries with scabs, but the damage was bad. The tendril girl’s tentacles were worn so thin they were barely there. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/24/extinction-27-5/ Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.5]]</ref>

She later took part in the mission to [[Cauldron's headquarters]]. During the mission, the container the Irregulars stored her in cracked, forcing Sveta to choose a target to attack. Sveta attempted to focus her tentacles on Scion, but was unable to maintain focus solely on him and inadvertently killed [[Doctor Mother]].<ref name="29.7 e9">Sveta's tendrils continued to extend, stretching out.<br/><br/>Each one chose the Doctor as the mark.<br/><br/>"Had to pick someone," Sveta whispered.  "Couldn't focus on him alone.  I'm sorry, but you're the best choice."<br/><br/>The tendrlis found points closer to the Doctor's midsection, crushing.<br/><br/>The Doctor's screams became strangled.<br/><br/>Sveta coiled around the Doctor, burying the woman beneath overlapping tendrils, until there was a cocoon and a girl's face, curled up on the stairs.  Blood pooled beneath them. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/03/venom-29-7/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.7]]</ref>

Helped halt [[Scion]] from destroying [[Taylor]]'s group and bought them time to escape. Sveta herself was able to escape later.<ref name="29.9 e1">I focused on my bugs. Searching the area. I didn’t have many, but two bugs floating a foot apart could fly at chest level and run into most people standing in a corridor.<br/><br/>A cluster of bugs died, wiped out by lashing tendrils.<br/><br/>''Sveta made it.'' - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/08/venom-29-9/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.9]]</ref>

Like the other capes she was snatched up by [[Khepri]] and was deposited in [[New York]] when [[Doormaker]] lost power. She rapidly tried to separate herself within an apartment and tried to calm down.<ref name="30.6">A rooftop overlooking New York, Earth Bet.  ''My'' New York.<br/>[...]<br/>I watched the monsters and the lunatics.  The tentacle girl was hanging back, hiding inside an apartment, trying to calm herself. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/26 Excerpt] from [[Speck 30.6]]</ref>
