It's funny, you have the explosion (fire), but you can still see her right hand with the biotic ball in it, in the 3rd pic.yorkj86 wrote...
There were three YMIR-Mechs, though,
yeah? Cutscene theatrics aside, she probably destroyed one with a
punch, then the explosion destroyed the other two.
We don't know how she does it exactly.It's all speculation, so you guys that say she uses a punch, are wrong.
Ah, come on, Johnny! Give me something to work with here! Do they all just self-destruct in abject terror because a little almost-hairless woman runs at them? Does the wall tear itself open in fear she might get a little blood on its grimy grey paintjob?
Play fair with me! Don't make me turn Jack into some chick who constantly gets shot because her weapon's range leaves her vulnerable and who might be able to levitate a glass of water! I want to have some fun writing these things! 
Maybe it's like her shockwave... that there is energy leading the arm and moving away from it, so like with the shockwave, the upward swing just makes the energy arc upwards. The arm movement is just a convenient way to conduct the energy. Her hand does not have to connect to send the kinetic force into the object. The way I imagine it, it's like picking up fresh eggs; we know how much pressure they can take before we crush them. Jack has a good idea of how much force needs to be channeled into rupturing the armour and fusion core of a YMIR mech, or how much can snap a merc's spine (if she used the same level of force on a batarian, say, he'd be taking a one way trip to explodingbodyville and well, then the game gets its ratings driven up by all the gore
). So she uses just enough power to damage whatever it is she's kicking the snot out of. It's more conducting than punching, but hey, she could stand there and look like a wizard doing it (a'la Miranda throwing Enyala across the loading dock), or she can run at you screaming with her fist wheeled back ready to smash your skull into so many itty bitty fragments. Jack's training's probably far from formal, so she does the best she can. And punching... just sounds better for her. Actually, this gives me a few ideas for more creative stuff she could do... messy things.And Grunt would almost certainly be a sticky orange smear on the ground if she did go all out on him, based on Cutscene Power FTW, but without said Cutscene Power, she can't get out of the Purgatory station out to the docking bay to meet Shepard, so either some mystical force just wipes out all those mechs, all the guards, tears down bulkheads and only stops once Shepard can meet her (which when you think about it is probably scarier than Jack), or she must actually have those powers even though she never manifests them quite so spectacularly again. So, she holds them back knowing how far is far enough to push them. Plus, hey - it's just for fun
Stop trying to take my ball away Johnny! I'm playing with it, so it has to exist! Don't pull that 'there is no spoon' crap on me!
As for tattoos... it might be worth looking into the meanings of contemporary prison tattoos. I kinda skimmed it once yeahs back for something I was working on at the time, I vaguely recall that tears are used to mark people you've killed inside, so that collection of tears on her back are (in real terms) how many people she's shanked in the shower (oooer). Anyone got any knowledge on this subject?
