Hunter's smile is warmer. "Let's go then." [spoiler]Allright.[/spoiler]

Edited by ChancingIt13: 11/3/2015 10:41:13 AME:" oh, you want to follow on or hitch a ride with me?" Echo dusts herself off , her helmet materialises and she checks her comms.
-
"I'll just hitch a ride," he says, "It'll be easier. Plus, my ship will then be far away enough that they can't get to it, so we can call it over in case of emergency."
-
E:" planning ahead ? Good call, Loop?....Loop, can you transmat us outta here to the Damsel please" Loop appears, if a ghost can look scornful, then that's the expression it gives you both. Echo sighs "comms are up, let's get going". The Damsel is a small two man craft, it's dark on board with nothing but the glow from the console offering light. Echo flips on the auto pilot and slides her seat back. E:"It's a two hour flight other side of the warp leap, if you want to rest up that would be the time to do it, I'll need to give you a quick run down on the locals too but that can wait, anything you want to know just ask." She looks over to Hunter-0 although her helmet hides any indication of what she might be thinking.
-
"It's venus, we should be fine. The only question I have is if you want to see that lab? Or at least what's left of it."
-
E:" sure ,why not, if you think it's good idea, you seemed pretty wound up after I induced that recollection." The dark warmth of the cockpit and the hum of the engines is all encompassing, the occasional whir and click of the pressure regulator lets Echo know everything is all good.
-
"Great," he says with some enthusiasm. In all honesty, the only reason he was going back was to grab some smart-rounds. He figured the equipment there would be very useful. He could go the rest of his life without seeing that place again, except for his requirement of the equipment he forgot last time.
-
She gives him a sideways look (not that he can see). E: " about the locals, I have a base just off the shattered coast, just across the water from the entrance to the archive, been there for nearly 10 years now, whilst I wouldn't call the fallen there my friends, we tolerate each other, I don't shoot them they don't shoot me, more over they watch my place when I am gone. So keep your blade sheathed please, unless there is no other option."

Edited by The Arxfiend: 11/3/2015 3:42:34 PM"I can do that." The red lights of his eyes turn off and on. He focuses in on a monitor, fuel specifically, before breaking his focus. "So, are they still House of Winter, or are they of a different house?"
-
E: " I think they are still house of winter but this group are different,smarter for a start, after my encounter with that vex I told you about I was out cold for a few days, my circuits should have been fried but someone put me back together enough that Loop was able to re access our link, I am pretty certain it was them. Don't get me wrong they have no love for guardians or humans ,but exo's that's something else. I think we signify something to this particular group." She slides her chair upright, E:" and since the Exo existence question is my personal mission, I want to maintain a level of civility with this group, their leader is a vicious bitch though no two ways about it but it's unlikely we will run into her" Echo looks over, " you ready " she smiles.

"Let's go," he cheers, his gravitron forfeit materializing and void energy flows around him. His Taken coloration disappears except for small steam-like wisps around his arms. He stands, his Exo legs making small clicks as they warm up from the movement.

They materialise on the headlands, the light is low the air is humid, there is the sound of the sea below them. Echo summons her sparrow and slings her battered Villany pulse rifle over her shoulder. She puts her foot in the stirrup,leans on the throttle and she is off pushing the sparrow as fast as it will go, leaning hard into each bend , Pushing hard on the brake to kick the tail end out on the sharper corners. A red warning light flashes up on her HUD, she breaks and vaults off . She raises her hand to signal to Hunter-0 as she begins to walk toward the first set of buildings on the shattered coast.

Edited by The Arxfiend: 11/3/2015 6:06:57 PMHe follows 20 meters behind on his own SR-0 Swiftriver. When she stops, he hits hard on his own brakes, flinging him off. He lands next to her face down, flat on the ground, instead of crouching like intended "I swear I meant to do that," he jokes, rolling himself over before popping up. "Ow."
-
E:"Heh heh, classy" She turns to face him E: " there should be a patrol here, and there isn't...obviously..can you feel that? It feels like when you sha..." She doesn't finish her sentence instead she begins to back away drawing her gun tilting her head a little to the right , she looks dead at Hunter and fires...right over his left shoulder, one burst of fire followed by the unmistakable sound of a taken being sent back to hell. E:" Wow !you didn't even flinch, impressive" She is genuinely impressed.
-
He smirks under his helmet. "I've Learned to see where guns are pointed. That prank is so old, last time it got me, I fell off my dinosaur." He looks around. "But we should hurry. Very rarely are Taken ever alone." With this, he steps forward. "lead the way"
-
She leads him down toward the small recon station at the edge of the cliffs. The light is fading and she still can't see her fallen. She switches to infra vision, she see's a couple of vandals crouched low in the doorway near the poster boards. E:" they are there but there should be more, somethings scared them off" She hops down onto walkway of concrete that has been provided from a landslide that happened way before she arrived. She glides up the other side grabs a steel pole and swings herself round to land gently on the hulking piece of land that supports two tower blocks. " This way" she calls, almost skipping along. She's never had a visitor before and finds herself looking forward to it.
-
He uses triple jump to cover the distance, barely making it to the pole, but has no trouble getting to the other side from there. "That was close," he huffs, catching up to her. "You seem happy." He Looks around, careful of what might have scared them off. "I don't see anything yet aside from us and them."
-
E:" never had a visitor before, warlocks are anti social at the best of times, locks raised by hunters even more so. No hunter understands my need to learn ,to know, to solve, and no lock understands my fascination with blades." She sighs, as she leads the way into the second building they climb two flights of stairs, the whole building is at an odd angle the floors slope. She pushes open a door and enters a large room, there is a large wall of glass that faces back towards the mainland outside of that is a balcony, there is something hanging down from the balcony above. The long wall is a sight to behold, from floor to ceiling are blades, swords ,daggers, some human,some alien , some are a complete mystery. Typically there is no lighting, why would an Exo need lighting? Then she turns to Hunter E:" sorry I forget your human essentially do you want light I know some habits die hard?"
-
Edited by The Arxfiend: 11/3/2015 7:30:04 PM"I'll need the light. I'm an older exo, so I don't have all the bells and whistles yet." He puts his hand on her shoulder, following her to ensure he doesn't trip.
-
She takes his hand and leads him over to the balcony where there is still plenty of light. E:" I have been around nearly a century myself, I modded myself, had to really, kept finding myself out in the dark. On the balcony is an Eriene RR4 sniper on a tripod aiming toward the mainland. E:" could you spin that mirror that's hanging there and watch out for a signal back use the scope if you like and let me know if you see anything." She disappears into the black at the back of the room.
-
[spoiler]i did remember was referring to his before life ,human habits die hard[/spoiler] E: "Just hang on" she takes his hand and takes him over to the balcony " I've been around for the best part of this century myself but I modded myself." There was still plenty of light outside, on the balcony was a sniper rifle on a tripod facing out towards the archive. E:" do me a favour and spin that mirror that's hanging by you and watch for a similar signal back". Echo disappears into black at the back[i][/i] of the room. E:" ac

Edited by The Arxfiend: 11/3/2015 8:41:34 PM[spoiler]saw that. Fixed it[/spoiler] "Got it." He makes the required signals, and memorizes any signals back. He detaches the scope of the sniper, and uses it to search for anything that could make the fallen run. He sees a vex patrol, but one that is easily overpowered. He thinks he sees an ahamkara ar first, but concludes that it's a native bird. No taken patrols yet. (At a rollerskating rink.)

[spoiler]time for me to clock out, catch u 2morrow [/spoiler]

[spoiler]np[/spoiler] E:" they signal back then? That's good, Xilis is my contact amongst the elinski" Echo walks across the room to an old generator places her feet shoulder width apart arms out palms up ,electricity starts sparking all around her mini lightening strikes shoot from her hands. E:"start up you heap of junk" she hisses and slams her hands onto the unit, it rumbles into life. Lights flicker on giving the place a much warmer feel. In the middle of the room is a coffee table with a worn brown leather sofa either side. There a schematics, files and books on every available surface. A row of computer screens showing images of various locations, some showing various Exo models some remarkably similar to some vex frames. E:"feel free to look around check out the blades, I have a power link if your needing to recharge...or ..... Well I could do it ," she forms a small ball of electricity in her hand, "it's quicker but a bit intense, we'll be resting up for a while though so the old fashioned way is fine " She turns away feeling a bit awkward and glad her armour is still hiding her discomfort. And on cue it begins to disappear leaving her standing in just her tunic and leggings she wears under her armour. E:" thanks loop" she snarls under her breath

Edited by The Arxfiend: 11/3/2015 9:43:34 PMHe laughs. He had turned his head away as soon as he heard the material sound a ghost produces, so he didn't know exactly what had been removed. "I won't look," he says. "Besides, I'm trying to figure out what your fallen friends are hiding from. I have a larger battery than most, as originally I took up more power. I've got 5 hours left." He continues looking through the scope, focusing on the bird.
