No. It's their trope. Every single long-running
Wapsi character they first meet will be in a moment of projecting their greatest terror or majesty.
They will not be allowed to become "inured".
In the next few moments, Atsali is going full siren, and whoop a triumphant note, mesmerizing them by accident. Katherine will be casually tossing the glowing spider-crystal in one hand, and introduce herself as, "Doc Gilchrist, USAF. Adventure is my office, and I'm open for business."
Later, Shelly will first encounter them by sidling up behind them in grand Stygian demeanor, and whisper some zen depths to them--as

They'll first come across Euryale and Stheno as they're in the middle of a sibling gorgon fight, the likes of which the world hasn't seen in 3000 years.
Their first scene with May will be listening to her reveal all her plans, before throwing a switch.
They will attempt to detain Tina just as she approaches critical meld state, which will involve an initial phase of tentacles exploding out of her head orifices, and stretching all across the coffee shop.
Tepoz will be dressing as the
