Levi's protest earns a very pointed, "I mean it." No more attempted murder on its watch.
The helmet is turned directly towards John, now. It's not a comfortable situation, with the shifting of John's form when he moves. It's the opposite effect from what it's experienced before, where its scanning capabilities were trying to tell it that there was nothing in the space its organic eyes could percieve - this time its data processing insists there must be something there, but its organics are determined to percieve it as a visual mess of shadows-feathers-something else that makes its organic neural tissue start screaming.
Maybe that's why it feels the need to be just as imposing as it can manage, at the moment, but something about that isn't adding up, for SecUnit. Maybe it's just that in its experience, people fight about something. Even when it's something stupid like who left the cracker wrapper in the sink, it's something, even if that something is a stand-in for something else more impossible to fight.

"A reflex to what," it asks, impatiently.
