It passes up through the plane of the rotor blades, near the center, and she can see the unbreakable cable start to wind itself around the delicate parts of the rotor's axle, like a garrote around a ballerina's neck.

The poon's handle gets snapped out of her hand, and she sees it get whipped into the center like it's a black hole.
