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

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

"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.

Edited by ChancingIt13: 11/4/2015 9:41:04 AME:" you know why it dislikes me so much?" She recovers her composure and joins Hunter on the balcony. E:" I was meant to be a hunter, when Loop resurrected me it took me to HorizonLine, A gunslinger house, I trained and trained, my reflexes were great my aim spot on but try as I might I could not summon the fire needed for that golden gun. My grenades always turned out to be void. Oneday we were training and I finally summoned what I thought was a scorch grenade but when I threw it it stuck to my opponent. His team mate was so enraged he gunned me down, I, in turn became so mad I was quite literally burning with rage and before I knew it I had resurrected myself . I killed everyone on the opposing team." She pauses E:" when our mentor called us all back in I....we were asked to leave" She goes down on one knee and looks along the sightless sniper rifle. E:" I still have trouble with the flame,it only really functions when I am in a rage, which is hardly ever, I am a sister to the void it is something I understand " She turns and her eyes rest on his sword for a moment. Then she stands and looks back out across to the mainland. E:" what about you, you carry that sword, shld I assume you are with the Nightstalkers ?"
-
"Interesting. I think I've heard about you." He then continues onto his own story. "I've mastered all three subclasses, Nightstalker is just the best one right now. As for my sword, it's just something I've done since my childhood. I've known how to use swords just about as long as I remember. It's something I feel comfortable doing." He zooms in on a sort of warped ground, and realizes that it's a vex patrol.
-
E:" If you like swords you should take a look at the sakobato I found, it's the most incredible thing I have ever come across, the steel was folded by hand! They had no magic to get the heat right, it blows me away every time I think about it" She gestures toward a slender curved blade about 38" long, most noticeably the blade is on the reverse side. Echo takes back her sight and sets up the sniper. E:" How's your aim? I think I need to go down there but I could do with someone watching my back ."
-
Hunter was staring at the swords when she asked about his aim. "Decent. I'm good enough to keep heads down. If all else fails, I'll hurry down myself."
-
E:" Armour up" as soon as she has finished speaking her gear forms around her, she gives Hunter a smile and a wink just before her visor forms. E:" I am going out the way we came in so I'll be coming from your left." She picks up her pulse rifle and disappears. Moments later she's up by the metal bar they used to get to her place. She drops and glides to the walk way sprinting once her feet touch down, glides up the other side and heads toward the entrance to the archives. As she gets close to the poster boards she sees the two vandals she saw earlier. E:" Xilix are you there," she asks in broken elinksi. There is no reply, she keeps her weapon holstered. E:" name yourself" she tries again. There is hushed conversation that she can't make out, she goes to step forward when it's like the sun went out. Dark mist surrounds everything. E: " run,hide" she barks at the two in the doorway. She unholsters her gun and boosts backwards and high to get a better look around, taken psions materialise, she lands shoots first one in the head sending it squealing back to where it came from, then the 2nd, the third duplicates just as she takes it out. E:" man I hate these things, loop patch me through to Hunter". As she says that the unmistakable howl of a taken captains black orb comes from behind her and everything goes black.
-
Hunter, seeing the trouble, uses the sniper as fast as he can, before finally saying "Ghost, airstrike. Now." In an instant, a Little Light comes down, exiting a warp very low before raining machine gun fire with frightening accuracy down on the Taken. Hunter uses the opportunity to rush to Echo's position, picking her up again in the chaos
-
She puts her arms around Hunters neck :"Hope that's you Hunter otherwise I'm in more trouble than I thought" She smiles under her visor shaking her head at her own stupidity,. E:"There is a small alcove near by if you can find it.
-
"I think I see it. 100 meters up." He starts speeding up. In a rushed attempt to hold back the Taken following them, he drops a wall grenade, and kicks it towards them, stumbling slightly. After another 30 seconds, he retreats into the alcove, going in as far inside as he can before setting Echo down. "There we go."

Edited by ChancingIt13: 11/4/2015 7:50:07 PME:" thanks again, sorry about that ,I couldn't think of any other way to draw them out other than use bait, me." She's standing now L:" you can put him down now you know" Echo confused for a second til she realises she still has her arms around his neck, E:" are you jealous? " she teases back and let's go. L:" euh! You are insufferable, the zombie is ready if you need it" E:" OK transmat it down " An old but very well looked after machine gun appears on the floor. E:" my last resort "she indicates " let's see who's left" She steps toward the doorway past Hunter, she looks out and sees three separate groups of three, spread out in different locations. E:" I have a plan, i am going to blink bomb all three groups if anyone is left they will be stunned and wounded. She turns to him serious for a second, they are less than a foot apart, and lowers her voice, E:" we finish this now , this is my home, they are not welcome here. If any are left, end them."
-
Hunter gets his void bow ready. The faint outline of where it should be is there. "Let's make sure they can't do anything about it." His ship has retreated. "I'll tether the groups first." He straightens his posture, as he moves closer to the exit.

[spoiler]sorry time for me to check out again, damn it I was psyched for the next bit,l8r[/spoiler]
-
She nods and exhales, and walks calmly outside,gun holstered. When she thinks she positioned right she turns and nods to Hunter.
-
Edited by The Arxfiend: 11/4/2015 10:13:45 PM[spoiler]Allright, cya later.[/spoiler] As soon as she nods, Hunter turns the corner and does a triple jump, tethering the three groups with 1 arrow each in rapid succession, anchoring them in place."go!" He yells to Echo.
-
Edited by ChancingIt13: 11/5/2015 9:17:54 AMAs Hunter takes off she vanishes, the sound of her blink causes most of the enemies to turn towards it. She twists as she releases a shatter bomb sending each of the three orbs in a different direction, every one hits it's mark. Finally there is silence and Echo drops to the ground landing in a crouch. Standing up and smoothing off her robes she turns to Hunter, E:" nice, very nice actually," She strides over to the alcove where they had hidden , out grabs the chain that holds the zombie apocalypse , slings it across her back. E:" you happy to head back to the den for a bit ,and we can go look for your lab at first light."

"Okay." He pauses for a moment, thinking of something to say, but decides against it. "Uh, good job, we make a great team," he says awkwardly before turning and walking. "Stupid, stupid, Stupid," can be heard under his breath with enough concentration.
