Zurakian Stronghold

With each blast it becomes far more resistant to the next. It regenerates at a rapidly accelerating rate as it finishes adapting to the field.

In that case

The first blast destroys it, except for the tip of it's tail, which adapted as the rest of it was busy dying.
It begins to grow back into a full tail.

It prepares to fire again.

In that case, it feels a hand pick it up and it suddenly finds itself in a room, deep within the Stronghold. No powers held it in, nothing for it to adapt to. Simply extremely thick and hard protosteel surrounding it.

A team of robotic scientists enter the room and begin using ZE to attempt to separate the adaption power from the matter it occupies in an attempt to isolate and study the strange phenomenon. The process is, probably, quite painful for the creature.

The machine is like a caltrop mixed with a hand, limblike claws - or perhaps clawlike limbs - extending from a central node, while a single limb-claw pierces the air ahead of it. This time, however, is different. This sunbeam drone is accompanied by nine like machines, each currently composed of the same yellow light. Eight of them freeze in place above the Stronghold, while the ninth and tenth drift down towards the stronghold. Though the movement is cautious - even sluggish - to themselves and perhaps the Time Dilator, any normal observer would percieve little change in their immense speed.
