I'd been wondering for a while what exactly the Queen's witches, the Techeuns, actually looked like. From the grimoire:

The Techeuns' jewel-like augments flashed as they circled around her. Mara closed her eyes. A hum rose from the Techeuns, the notes fracturing into harmonies as, from the shadows, hundreds of tiny blue sparks burst to life before her.

Their appearance seemed somewhat bionic to me. 'Augments' comes up several times:

The Queen kept her expression carefully distant. She sat reclined in her throne, legs crossed, surveying the two figures at the base of the steps. Beside her, where the Wolves' Guard used to stand, Techeuns Shuro and Sedia hovered instead, their jewel-like augments gently humming.

In the gameplay trailer, I'd noticed some creepy peeps around the Queen (go to :43):

Now it looks like Bungie has confirmed these are the Techeuns. Not exactly what I was expecting. Via arstation:

Thanks to Xenos for keying me in to the new pic.
