# pistol.the-pendulum → NO MORE TRICKS · choreography (N3, 28 Oct · approved beat summary; this is the build sheet)

THE HUNT. Faris-dominant: the victim tries every trick she has and Faris takes each one apart as it forms. Map-independent: FLOOR +
a clear run of about 270 u (clearFloor58). Lane file 58k_w_pistol_cine_n3.js.

Calls against the approved summary (N3, autonomous, recorded):
- The victim is FIDA (orange), not Amjad: the coordinator's 02:25 NEWS says cyan victims merge with Faris in close films, and this
  one ends at arm's length.
- No reload. Agent I's SLIDE LOCK owns the reload beat on this page. Faris walks after her calmly instead, the gun low.
- The arm becomes BOTH HANDS, one forearm at a time, as the title says: no hands, no more tricks. BOOKENDS takes one forearm; the
  ANTI-TEMPLATE list names "both hands" as its own form.
- End pose: KNEELING, headless, upright among the stumps of the bars. STILL COMING ends face down, and CLINCH owns propped against
  a gold cast, so she is not propped on anything.

| t (s) | Faris | Fida | cause → effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.0 | left, the gun on her | right, both hands free | |
| 0.2-0.55 | fires at the ink | slams a gold WALL up between them (slam cast) | the wall bursts into gold shards before it closes |
| 0.7-1.15 | fires | backs off; a gold SHIELD on her arm (thrust cast) | it bursts as it forms and knocks her arm back |
| 1.4-1.75 | fires | a gold BLADE inked in her hand and thrown (flick cast) | shot out of the air, the halves spin past him |
| 2.0-3.4 | walks after her, the gun low, unhurried | runs for the far side, looking back | |
| 3.4-4.0 | stops, watches | cornered: a gold CAGE rises round her, bars and a lid (trace cast) | |
| 4.2, 4.6, 5.0, 5.4 | one shot per bar, stepping closer | flinches with each burst, crouches lower | the cage comes apart bar by bar |
| 5.6-5.75 | fires | reaches out through a gap, casting a blade in her right hand | the right forearm off at the elbow |
| 6.1-6.25 | fires | tries again with the left hand | the left forearm off at the elbow |
| 6.4-6.8 | stands at the last bar | down on her knees: no hands, no tricks | |
| 6.9 | shoots the last bar | the bar in front of her face bursts | |
| 7.15 | point blank | the head (STYLE.headPop; brain bits at EXTREME); she stays kneeling, upright | |
| 7.3- | lowers the gun | kneeling among the stumps of the bars | end |

Gore ladder: EXTREME / VH / HIGH: both forearms + the head. MEDIUM: the casts are shot from her hands (the forearms stay) and
STYLE.ending at level 2. LOW / VERY LOW: no wounds; the casts shatter; she ends kneeling, out cold.
Camera: wide at w 330-360; slow motion on the blade shot out of the air (1.7), the right forearm (5.7), the last bar and the head (7.1).
