Switch-5 was racing across the scarred surface of Phobos on his sparrow, kicking up dust as he glided along at high speed. He was en route to a nearby cabal base that had released a distress beacon: something the cabal never do.
"How much further to the base?"
[i]Two kilometres north, just over that--[/i]
"What is-- ...ah..."
The sparrow turned to a halt just ahead if a crashed cabal prison ship, fumes and fire billowing into Phobos' thin atmosphere. The crash was obviously recent
"Well, this just got more interesting"
[i]What should we check first: the base or the ship?[/i]
"Let go with the ship. There could be a treasure trove of valuable information within that junker"
[i]...Could also be a treasure trove of cabal soldiers and vile prisoners...[/i]

Korvic clambered over the wreckage of the prison ship while talking with his ghost. "So how far off is this fire base?" "[u]Just a few kilometers west from here.[/u]" "Can you access the vehicle grid? See if we can get my sparrow down here?" "[u]Unfortunately no. Too much chatter, whatever happened here really has the cabal spooked.[/u]"

Edited by Moot: 9/18/2015 7:07:04 PMSwitch clambered off his sparrow and gazed at the wreckage, his ghost hovering beaide him. [i]Switch, the sparrow no longer wants to transmat. Too much interference of some sort[/i] "Leave it here. Not like a cabal can fit on it anyway" The duo began marching towards the crashed ship, scanning the environment [i]I'm picking up two other guardians nearby, one closer than the other[/i] "Where are they?" (Sry for late reply)
-
(It's K) "[u]Master Korvic, I'm picking up another Guardian's signal.[/u]" "Good, we could use some back up. Whatever has the Cabal in a frenzy, I don't want to face alone."
-
Switch emerged through some of the wreckage and found Korvic conversing with his ghost. "Well well, look who we've got here"
-
The two turn to face the guardian. "Hey there Guardian, you mind lending a hand?"
-
"Sure. I'm Switch-5 by the way, warlock member of the adepts" [i]ahem?[/i] "Oh, right. This is Marvin, my ghost" [i]'sup[/i]

Out of the Cabals destroyed prison ship staggers a figure. His skin seems to shine as if he is imbued with light. The broken chains on his wrists match the dark robe that covers his body.
-
[i]who's this party crasher?[/i] "Um, hello? Are you ok?"
-
"Korvic Lanister, Hunter, Coyote, knife collector, Wild West enthusiast, handcannon appraiser, and stand up comedian. Oh, and this here's my ghost, Jeeves." "[u]A pleasure to meet you both.[/u]"
-
"The pleasure is all mine. Now, what was this prob--" [i]I don't think I like Jeeves[/i] "Can you not be utterly miserable for once? Be nice! Sorry about him, I named him after some miserable storybook character I found in an old book in the European dead zone. It suits him" [i]shaddup[/i] "Anyway...what was this problem you needed help with?"
-
"There's a cabal distress beacon coming from a base a few kilometers west from here. We were just on our way to check it out."
-
"Huh, same. Cabal never send out distresses like this, so me being a natural Warlock, I was very curious indeed" [i]uh, did that talking knight just swear at you?[/i]
-
"Just ignore her... Anyway, I'd appreciate any help I can get."
-
"Alright then" Switch readies and loads a sidearm in his right hand. "So, what the hell are taken?"
-
"No clue."
-
"Well then, let's find out. Marvin, where's that Cabal outpost?" [i]a couple of kilometres that way, like I already said before dummy[/i] "Hold that attitude for later"
