[i]In the cold desolate world of Mars, a lone hunter studies the ongoing conflict between the Cabal and Vex raging on through the scope of his rifle, hidden. As he writes down on a small notepad the vex patterns and cabal tactics, his ghost, faithful companion and sometimes voice of reason, appears next to his guardian and asks him on his outdated methods of gathering intelligence. [/i]
G: Why are you writing down on a notepad?
D: Hush Beachball.
G: You know I can just record it and we can deibreif Ikora.
D: But will that impress Ikora? I don't think so. I'm going to memorize this by writing it down diligently and relaying the information with perfection.
G: I'm filming this anyways.

Hunter-0 approaches, having heard it all. "What exactly do you [i]think[/i] that they are doing?"
-
[i]David keeps writing down patterns and cabal tactic on his small notepad fully aware of the guardian approaching him. After one long silence David turns to Hunter-0 and speaks to him in a welcoming tone.[/i] D: What do [i]I[/i] think? I think they're beating the shit out of each other. Very entertaining if you ask me.

Moving closer to get a melee in, or to where they can shoot. They usually retreat behind a minotaur or hydra. They operate as an advanced hivemind." He pauses to let it sink in.
-
[i]David takes another look through his scope and continues writing down what the guardian said and also what he saw. He passes the page and looked back at the hunter.[/i] D: You know, I've heard that before. That the hive are just one mind across like, a million robots. I've also heard that the white stuff in the center is biological. Is that true? I'm doing my homework here, Ikora has me on a tight leash.

Edited by CybrWyteTygr: 9/21/2015 11:53:33 PM"Kinda. It's biomechanics. It's organic, but at the same time, still robotic. Sorta like us Exo."
-
[i]David put away his notepad in his satchel and got up. He put his rifle on his back and stretched his entire body and gave out a long yawn.[/i] D: Oh man, staying prone in the sand for and hour really gives you a reason to stretch. So, what brings you to Mars? The cool breeze? The ruins of Freehold? Or are you here to make sand castles in the dunes?

I'm an old Exo, to say the least, so I have a wide knowledge on these yhings, but I was sent here to find a way to tap into the vex hivemind. Their higher ups seem to be the best way to get in." He pulls out his sword, the void exotic, and stabs it into the sand, leaning into it.
-
[i]David looks at the void sword very carefully, studying it from where he stood. To see such a rare weapon only made him want it even more. It stood there, taunting at him. As he snapped out of it he quickly goes to a small computer on his left forearm an checks for anything vex related.[/i] D: Uh huh, alright. I can tell you that there's a huge Vex gate in the Kings Valley guarded by 4 minotaurs, a Vex Hydra, 1 hobgoblin. Take those out, and the portal opens. I've seen countless guardians go inside and never come out. Plus I think that you're looking in the wrong place for a gate lord. You might wanna head to Venus for that.
-
Hunter-0 looks at David, and tilts his head slightly to the right as David stares at his sword. "I guess, but the vex only have 1 army here, so structures for Gate lords are at easier access due to lack of troops." He lifts his sword, puts it on his back, and summons a sparrow, the Ravensteel, before waving. "Alright, happy hunting," he says before boosting off.
-
[i]As David saw Hunter boost off he summoned his ghost and transmatted to his ship and flew off to the tower to hand in his report to Ikora.[/i]
-
Devil walks up smiling, "very entertaining."
-
[i]David looked back as soon as Devil walked up to them and kept taking notes. As he turned around seeing 2 guardians he's startled for a bit and continues finishing his notes.[/i] D: Oh jeez. Yeah, watching space turtles and Mayan terminators duke it out is very entertaining. Might I ask your name?

-
[i]David passes a page on his notes as he kept studying the ongoing battle. As he watched the ongoing fight he kept talking to the guardian.[/i] D: Devil? 60 resets? Damn, that's a lot. So, what brings you to Mars? Is it the scenery? The cool breeze? Or would you rather build sand castles?
-
Edited by Rafar93: 9/22/2015 7:35:06 PMHe shrugs,"Random vanguard mission involving the scenery." He motions towards the battle.
-
[i]David finishes his notes and puts his notepad in his satchel. He picks up his rifle from the ground and hooks it on his back. He gets up and stretches, letting out one big yawn.[/i] D: Oh man. That's entertaining scenery. So what did the vanguard tell you to do? Maybe I could lend a hand.
-
"Apparently there's a gate lord down there making a nuisance of himself." He motions towards a giant vex that had just ripped through several rows of phalanxes like they were made of paper. "I was assigned to take him out."
-
[i]David stops cold for a second as he heard Devil say that the vanguard assigned him to take it out, instead himself. He looked Devils straight in the eye and spoke to him[/i] D: The vanguard chose you to take him out, instead of [b]me?[/b] Ikora I feel betrayed... No hard feeling towards you however.
-
He shrugs, "Zavala said your were already observing the battle and shouldn't be bothered by a different mission. Ikora caught me before I left and said to tell you to help so you can observe a gate lord up close for "research purposes." " He looks at you. "So, are you coming?"
-
[i]David took out his hand cannon and nodded at Devil. He was itching for some adventure, seems like he finally had his prayers answered.[/i] D: Lead the way big guy. I haven't the slightest idea where to go.
-
"Pretty simple really." His form bursts into flame and he charges down the hill destroying several enemies with each hammer he threw, slowly making his way towards the massive form of the gate lord.
-
[i]David quickly follows behind, shooting any surviving enemies that avoid Devil's havoc. With each step he took, so did his anxiousness to fight against a gate lord. An enemy he has yet to face. [/i]
-
With he last burst of Devil's super he throws a hammer at the gate lord. He then draws his hand canon and fired at the gate lord. The gate lord is stunned for a minute, then starts firing back with its torch hammer.
-
[i]As soon as the gate lord started firing, David unleashed a total of 4 rockets onto the Gate lord, devastating it in the proscess and leaving it weakened. David noticed quickly the damage he had done and gave Devil a sign that he was weakened, if it wasn't obvious enough.[/i]

Might want to hurry before these idiots regain their senses though."
