You know that feeling of 'I should've stayed asleep this morning?' Yeah. That's the thought, if not exactly like that, in Cloud's mind as he, just having gotten down into the large room as the shaking starts, stares for a moment. Then he has to move; more to avoid debris than the robot's arm, but it doesn't really matter. Potential injury is potential injury, and he knows there were other people far closer...

Looking around as he staggers to avoid the debris, watching for Zack, for those other people, much closer to where the robot appeared and thus closer to the attack, and, of course, for whatever the thing might do next, it's at least something of a relief to have a weapon.

Remains to see if it can work against this thing. But if it doesn't fire bullets, then maybe...
