In terms of flavour, I'd say it makes slightly more sense as a scum power than a town one (them being the weird bionic monstrosities here).
In terms of mechanics, my thought was that the scum can't kill the sk directly - they have to get it chopped - and that the vortex could be used to prevent the sk from killing one of them (as well as shutting down any town powers in the process).
But it is true that that kind of power would more usually be a townie thing.
