Although I think that Panther was unaware of that detail, she was ostensibly just looking to take out the leader ASAP (this _also_ was during the incident where Arcanum had hijacked the Nuke subs) due to the gravity of the situation, but I think that she might have been applying a bit of player knowledge, being the creator of Arcanum up to that point.

*BAMF* in, claw past hasty defences, and sink teeth into throat: take a bite and *BAMF* gone. (The Beta team had been dealing with a mage who was creating gates into this world for shared realities, and as a result of one of those encounters, she gained a few powers from a famous comic book character...)

Panther, who already had finely honed Jungle sense to alert her of danger, also got a number of other precognitive senses that drastically heightened her ability to sense danger: I doubt she's super comfortable even with Arcanum off-planet.
