Unclear. Could be Adam or Cinder.

I thought the assassin was called a he, but nope. apparently there wasn't enough of the body left to tell gender at a glance. probably not cinder though, she's a schemer not a hatchet woman. also I suspect that she could kill him through their protections is going to freak the council out a bit. since by all indication the peaceful new aliens they just met can shoot right though their auras with a little bit of fiddling, possibly implying that anyone else out there could do the same.
 
We may end up with "denying the Syndraxi contact all these years was dumb, they're really into it if they win or lose as long as it's glorious song material" as well.

This is Trekkified, so I'm pretty sure those are actual personal shield generators, not superpowers.

Updated post with RWBY image at end.

Though you could have just done a backsearch on the images :/ effort I know.

If you wave a bunch of pictures under our noses and go "see? SEE?" then those pictures are clearly intended to be evocative. They should not require literally every person not familiar with a specific cartoon to independently run a search for a particular image that for all we know you just looked up from somewhere else entirely.

point, still unsettling since personal shields was like, their thing. one of the few techs they have that no one else could deploy. Then they meet someone from one of the big powers, and they find a way though those shields within minutes of needing to. That's not a good sigh about just how small of a fish they are.

I don't disagree.

Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if they can recalibrate a shield to resist whatever phaser modulation McAdams used, resulting in this sort of bizarre dance of offense and defense.

Good practice for when we run into the Borg!
 
So does this increase or decrease the importance of getting them as affiliates? On the one hand, their schizo-tech includes true AI and powerful personal weapons. On the other hand, I strongly dislike RWBY the show. Hard to say.
 
I'm going to adopt the stance of judging the Yan-Ro on their own merits, and not worrying about the show OR its technology, personally.

Sort of like how I judge the Amarki for themselves, not for the Abh, among other things because I don't know anything about the Abh and the Amarki are far more interesting when allowed to be their own thing.
 
The reference is nice, but yes, it will be interesting to see what they're like in this quest.

If it's truly based on RWBY then a full-on uplift is almost ethically demanded. Remnant is a deathworld.

If you bicondition the uplift on racial equality you'll probably get some very nice results.

Main downsides: you're going to have to do something about the Grimm and you're going to have some degree of problems with the inequality and racism.

Main upsides: Remnan mentality is roughly an ideal match for the Federation. Schizotech including full AI. Will likely produce a number of "heroic" individuals vastly disproportionate to population. Existence of Dust could birth an entire science depending on quest interpretation.

Oh, and they'll hate the Cardies.

Edit: Shark ninjas.
