It took a long moment for people to realize what had happened.
The entire mech arena turned from a hive of activity into a silent chamber.
Everything froze from the moment the results of the bold and inventive assassination attempt became clear.

The alarms that blared in everyone's ears just a moment ago had completely fallen silent.
