((OOC: Yellow! This is my intro post as Such, straight from where
Rast’s Bio left off. Although if someone’s got a better idea
I take it hope you like : ) ))
[Open RP]
-Moon,
About a mile out over a ridge overlooking Orokin Remnant HQ-
- 3/29 DR
at around 17:00-
Rast:
~On the Moon on its cold
grey service a trail off footprint followed to an a scarred grey
Excalibur laying perfectly still on a hard rock but looking into the
dark of a crevice. , a pair of bulky looking grinner binoculars night
vision turned on in his hands levelled with his apparent eyes…
This was Rast, a mercenary Excalibur with a corpus background fully
kitted out with his obsolete Karak lay beside him, a bulky misshapen lex
on his leg and a old chipped Paragon Sword on his back along with an
assortment of other utility based kit along his belt.~
~He
had only just arrived and had been watching intently the last five mins
eyeing the apparent hangar for signs of life or of anything remotely
active… Nothing had caught his eye yet~
*
“Hummm… Typical.. ” He hummed to himself in an almost
growled…*
* He had been on this job for his
benefactor whom had been particular interest in this signal… Rast
had been tracking the signal mostly on foot for some days now. A rather
slow a painful process in the low gravity of the moon, forcing him to
almost hop and skip his way across and how the signal bounce from place
to place didn't help either, constantly misleading him to either
abandoned complexes, ships, craters and an notable amount of
junk… *
Still… This looked promising to the Excalibur… Although
he thought the exactly same thing a few times already and they had
turned out empty. Yet they was something slightly odd to this hangar
hidden away and if it was not for the dim signal he had been following
he doubted he would have known it was there at all.(edited)
Yet at the moment… The hangar within the crevice seemed rather
dull through his bulky binoculars and the Excalibur was starting to
wonder if the pay from ‘Dream’ was worth this tediousness
and all this moonwalking was starting to make his stomach churn…
Still the view behind him was very nice… Taking his eyes off the
binoculars for second to look around admiring the blue round marble that
was Earth and the countless stars behind…
The grey Excalibur sighed and was about to move on, to get a closer
look…
…Until…
((OOC: All yours to anyone and any whom I just Roll with it. As
always give a me a PM if there's trouble or somethings off or wrong.
: ) Looking forward to see what happens. ))(edited)
Kapak:
From the darkness , Rast notices some movement. Should he use his
binoculars, he can manage pick out 3 moving figures. Their bodies were
shrouded by the shadow cast by the canyon, as they moved along a small
ridge, moving deeper into the crevasse. They seem to be carrying
something- it looked like a large sheet of metal perhaps. Before Rast
could get a better look, the trio disappearing as they turned a corner
and disappeared from sight.(edited)
Rast:
Flickr in shadow court the Excalibur's
attention...
* "What's this now..." He muttered to
him self eyeing down the crevasse again to see something moving... He
couldn't make out what they where caring... But... Rast heart
lifted, but a second, at the thrill of progress... But was quite
instantly dispelled by the thought that he might not have a supposed to
be here... *
Still this is what he was being paid to do... Although most of his
survival instincts where against such a reckless action as going into a
dark crevasse with one way in and out and following three potential
hostiles deeper into a unknown complex...
But they was a very important factor as he felt his stomach
growl... He needed the credits...
The Grey scarred Excalibur
rolled a hand over his face and neck as if knowing he was going to
regret this...
"Things I do to get paid..." He muttered
reluctantly...
Before quickly and quietly reattaching the binoculars to the back of
his belt, grabbing his rifle keeping it low and at the ready... He moved
into the the darkness that swallowed him to fellow. Cautiously moveing
form rock to rock watching where he stepped... Looking almost like a
corpus soldier in the way he moved from cover to cover rather Untenno
like.(edited)
((OOC: all yours man! Rast is following you down the rabbit hole! To dirty his grey fluffy tail! @Almighty_Jado - Kapak ))(edited)
Kapak:
As Rast follows, his expert tracking skills allow him to spot the
tracks left behind by the three figures. The feet seemed to be reptilian
in nature; each foot ended in 3 stubby toes. Whatever they were, they
weren’t Grineer or Tenno.
As Rast continues to trail deeper
and deeper into the dimly lit, ancient caverns of Lua, the trackers
become less and less pronounced, the dust of the moon’s surface
becoming decreases as it gave way to stone.
He didn’t lose
his targets fully though; he can distinctly hear clicking noises in the
distance, along with the metallic clanging of tools.
Rast:
Rast Clicked his tongue observing the tracks slightly disconcerted that
they didn't appear 'normal'. Eyes peeled for movement...
Gripping that, rifle a little bit tighter he stopped suddenly as he felt
underneath hard, 'smooth' stone... Ears perked out for danger...
Heartbeat slow and calm as he took a step forward... It was almost
impossible for his black boots to not click on the floor but he muffled
the sound best he could... Taking it very slow hugging himself next to a
wall...(edited)
Kapak:
As Rast follows the wall, he is led to a massive open cavern, and in
the middle of it all, a massive spacecraft; a Tenno Orbiter. Surrounding
it were piles and piles of scrap metal, as well as small fires lit here
and there, melting down unwanted materials and other waste, bathing the
cavern in an orange glow.
The Orbiter itself was covered in dents,
its paint job extremely scratched, and it’s metal hull warped
almost as if some huge god had picked it up and squeezed it like
putty.
Perhaps the most curious thing, and possibly alarming, were
the tentacles. Along the side of the ship, there was a massive hole with
scorched edges, obvious evidence that something big had taken a shot at
the spacecraft. But from within the hole, large and long gray infested
tendrils writhed, picking up and moving pieces of the scrap metal in a
very deliberate, machine-like manner, sorting the various pieces of
metal into piles and such.
As Rast continues to observe the scene,
he spots the three figures which he had been hunting. He can now clearly
see that they were carrying a piece of hull in the light of the cavern,
but he still couldn’t quite make out what they were. The large
metal plate blocked his view of them from his current position.(edited)
Rast:
*. "By the Void..." He whispered... Openmouthed to
say the lest as he took cover behind a crate... He physically rubbed his
helmeted eyes, just to make sure he wasn't seeing things. But no he
wasn't so lucky that was a orbiter in the middle by what he could
tell it was more infected then metal... The dark orange glow not helping
to reassure this image... He wasn't surprised that the infected
could do what they where doing but it was very structured and less
organic then what he would have thought... *
. "Focus Rast..." He whispered to himself. This was not the
time or place for speculation... Mabey this wasn't an infected
stronghold and that this was all a experiment by some Lotus loveing
Tenno... Yea Right...
If only could have have about look around... "Hummm..." Rast
continued to eye the Three although unable to make they shape he needed
to get higher... Even if it meant getting deeper in to this is totally
not invested place...
He gave that 'ship' a one last look...
"ARrr Elexis
would hate this..." He half joked to him self not even sure if he
liked it as he carefully continued to move from cover to cover slow and
steady. Still following the three and keeping an eye out for anyone or
anything else of interest... He still had his job to do... The more
information he would get the more he would get paid... Well that's
what he kept telling himself... Half cursing his
professionalism...(edited)
((OOC: OWwww A spooky scary hangar/repair shop/chop shop! how interesting! )) @Almighty_Jado - Kapak(edited)
Kapak:
As Rast continued to shadow the three creatures, he happens upon an odd
machine, if you could even call it that. It was a mount of twisted flesh
and metal, a bizarre amalgamation of machinery and muscle. Whatever it
was, it is obvious that it was once Corpus; a Crewman helmet stuck out
at its side, majority of it wrapped in thin, black veins. On the top
part of this object was a twisted, malformed Corpus arm. It gripped a
hammer in its grasp, slamming away forcefully on a sheet of metal lying
across the top like an anvil, smoothing out the salvage into a more
uniform, flattened piece of plating.
It was a noisy machine,
constantly emanating a loud metallic clang with every swing of the
mallet, accompanied by the gurgling of whatever bodily fluids were
flowing within.
Rast:
"Urrrg..." *Rast Eyed the the machine sickly not
daring to think what it took to make the monstrosity, the corpus helmet
was the only indication he needed let alone the rest... Whatever this
place was 'Dream' would most likely wouldn't know about it
especially if it this was on the Moon ... Staying and in cover The grey
Excalibur shouldered his rifle quietly and pulled an modified context
scanner from his belt expanding it slightly... And started to take some
pictures of the grim Workshop and its 'occupants'... It was a
old crud pitcher taking device but it did its job and no flash's...
*
*But now Rast was after a way deeper in to this
complex and maybe even a back way in to the hangers... To see how deep
this infestation goes. It was rather militaristic thinking...
Gathering intelligence the layout of the complex possible resistance.
Although Rast understood the militaristic potential of such
information... It was the profiteering aspect that he needed... *
*So
Rast continued now and then taking 'pictures' of notes of
interest still looking for a way to 'move on' and deeper into
the structure... *(edited)
((OOc: Rast is playing tourist at the moment! And on your left you see something really ugly... And on your right something even uglier!)) @Almighty_Jado - Kapak(edited)
Kapak:
Rast watches, the three figures finally dumping their piece of metal
down on the ground before splitting up and disappearing off to do other
things. It's still difficult for him to fully make them out due to
shadows caused by the fires, but he is close enough to realize that they
are in fact, very, very short.
After they leave, Rast may be able
to notice another machine next to the one made of Corpus body parts.
This machine looked like an octopus slightly, with a pulsating, veiny,
bulbous head. On one side, a 'jaw' stuck out, its
'fangs' made of metal. Within its mouth, a swirling vat of
molten ferrite can be seen, its orange glow lighting up the flesh of the
creature from the inside out. Periodically, the head of the machine
split open at the sides, unveiling a set of mechanical limbs that picked
up pieces of metal from a nearby pile, shoving them into its
"mouth" where they were melted down for something. As Rast
observes, he may also observe a chute emerging from the backside of the
creature; every 10 seconds or so, an orange pellet of ferrite was spat
out, perfectly rectangular. There was now a pile of cooling metal next
to the machine.
Suddenly, a barking sound rang out throughout the
cavern. It sounded just like a Kubrow, but something about it seemed
off. Soon, a second barking joined in, a duet of angry cries ringing
out.
Rast:
*
"Its like a Void damned factory..."
*He thought quite horrified but they was truth in the matter.
These creatures could make maintain and do all the mundane jobs of
refinery work and more... This was too strange for Rast... He knew the
infected consumed and created... But wasn't it shortly. They had to
be someone , somewhere pulling the strings...
Before Rast could think more down this line of thought... By that
barking that even that sound 'off' followed by the angry
cries... Yet he was gone the panic yet that would have been
unprofessional, sill thinking his luck might be up... Rast eyed
just around a large Box to what was going on...(edited)
Kapak:
Rast peers around and sees an infested, wolf-like creature- a Helminth
charger. It paces slowly, a growl on its breath. It pauses to sniff the
ground, which is when Rast realizes that this creature has two heads.
The first head began to snort, trying to pick up any unusual scents,
while the second head remained alert, twitching as it looked left and
right. The sniffing head pauses as it slowly turns in the general
direction of Rast, the other head also joining in on its ferocious
sounding gurgle.
As if things couldn't get any worse, there is
a buzzer like noise as some kind of alarm went off.
-WARNING. INTRUSIVE FLESH DETECTED. DOES NOT MATCH THE LIBRARY OF SOULS. WARNING. INTRUSIVE FLESH DETECTED...
A strangely twisted voice announced itself from speakers in some nearby
location, followed by the buzzing noise of several Djinn sentinels as
they swooped around the far corner of the Orbiter, red lights blazing
forwards as they began to scan the surroundings. The two-headed Helminth
Charger began to creep forwards towards Rast's box.
May 14, 2018
Rast:
Rast took cover almost instantly seeing the 'modified' charger
and resisted the urge rub his face as he thought how this could get any
worse... And then of course a 'Buzzer' like alarm and Tenno
Sentinels... He just 'had' to think it... Typical.
Attaching the scanner back to his belt again he destiny looked around
for a way out... That possibly did involve fighting these monstrosities
and possibly angering they master whoever he or she was...
With no visible way of escape thought a vent or something or leaving
way where he came without leaving his cover and exposing himself he eyed
around for another option
"That could work..." He thought to him self
it would be desperate but the other option was fighting his way out,
something he would rather avoid if he could...
Rast quickly removed his bulky lex took the ammo clip out and thumed
some of the large stubby brass rounds out until he had a few rounds in
his hands... Holstering his pistol again he gripped the rounds tightly.
Before eyeing the stationary furnace like creature and chucked the
Rounds towards its apparent 'Face' and arear...
*The hope would be it would create a brief enough
distraction, either by just making noise as brass shells landed around
or if he was lucky to go in to the furnace it self and make the stubby
rounds exploded from the heat... *
Well that was his hope... It was a long shot... The alternative was to
start shooting... And that was a last option...(edited)
((OOC: Time to go Solid Snake like... @Almighty_Jado - Kapak ))
Kapak:
Most of the bullets didn’t make much sound, making contact with
the soft flesh hide of the machine. But one of them landed right into
the mouth of the forge, promptly exploding.
The Charger paused, both heads turning towards the gunshot sound. It
bounded towards the machine and began to sniff around it, trying to find
out where the sound had come from. Rast was clear for now; that Charger
would probably be kept busy for a while, at least until it lost
interest.
However, the Djinns, 3 of them to be exact, didn’t
alter their course in the slightest. They continued to move forward,
methodically scanning the cavern, coming closer and closer to
Rast’s position. He would need to change his position if he wanted
to avoid getting detected.
Rast:
*Watched the rounds impact flesh and roll around
pointlessly feeling defeated and slightly stupid when they did
nothing... He was already thinking on how he was going to get out this
one... When a round exploded, his heart raced as the charger dashed off
to the noise... *
Now for phase two avoiding those Djinns and they fancy scans... Again a
Long shot but hopefully they scanners won't recognise this... If it
was 'Intrusive flesh' they where after...
He gave a quick look around still down... Eyeing a promising looking
door... Well what he hoped was a door out or in... And not just
another creature mouth.
Next to the create he was hiding behind was a smaller one empty
and its lid off about half his size. It was going to be a tight fit...
But... Rast quietly raised box before quieter still lowing it over him
as he crouched... The plan was to confused the Djinns scanners by hiding
himself in the box... Yes he was this desperate and it was the only
thing he could think of at this present time...
They was a small slot in the crate used for handling. Rast eyed the out
side hands above him holding the box still as he waited for the Djinns
to hopefully pass...
And then Void willing under the cover of this box... Make a slow
cautious break for that door...(edited)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncNSJGPl8X4 ((OOC: > : P Worth a shot hope you like @Almighty_Jado - Kapak ))
Kapak:
Rast’s plan worked flawlessly. The Djinns scanned the boxes,
their sensors only detecting the surface of his disguise, passing on
quickly to cover the remaining area. Rast manages to catch a glimpse of
the two-headed monster behind him, which was now sauntering away from
him, clearly bored and dropped off from his scent.
As Rast moved
deftly towards the door, everything seems to continue going fine. The
door gets closer and closer until...
There was a bump and a squeak
as Rast bumped into something.
Rast:
* 'Its working?' Rast in slight disbelief
knowing how bad his luck was. 'By the void it is...' He contain
his joy as The Djinns drifted past... 'Right, now or never
Rast...Hev Ho' He thought slowly stepping his way across the room
peeking through the small gap. Stopping now and then and freezing still
to let one or of two monsters get past... It took him a bit of time for
him getting from here to the door. Being as cautious and
'crate' like as he could... *
*He couldn't
believe his luck when the door was properly insight this crate hidden
idea was working well apparently... Well least against these
'creations' and scanners. *
*Well this be a story to
tell Elexis... Rast would think happily. Mabey his luck was on the up
maybe this was a new dawn for him and 'Mistress Fate' wasn't
as cruel to him as he would have thought... *
*Then he bumped into
something... Then again his luck never lasted so it seamed ...
Something he didn't see but he instantly stopped moving the crate...
Eyeing out of the single hole... Holding his breath half praying to the
void that it was just another box or object... *(edited)
((OOc: Ot oh... What has Rast hit? As long as its not a female's back side He sould be ok >: P @Almighty_Jado - Kapak ))(edited)
Kapak:
Before Rast knew it, his box was quickly lifted off of him, exposing
him fully. And in front of him stood...
Three awkward looking,
child-sized infested monkeys. One was tall, one was muscular, and the
last one was an even balance between the others. Each of them held a
"weapon": the tall one held a Synapse, the muscular one held
an Acrid, but backwards so that its barrel was pointed towards its own
face, and the last one holding a very small sized fire extinguisher. The
three creatures growled as menacingly as they could, which was suffice
to say, not very scary at all.
The one holding the fire
extinguisher went to bonk Rast on the head.
May 15, 2018
Rast:
* 'What in the void did I hit...' Was on the
last things he thought of before the crate was left of him...
"Arrrrr"... Rast said not 100% sure what to say to his
'discoverers'... From a crouched position and the weaponry they
held he was in a bad position to say the least... But his stomached
churned just that little bit more analysing the three infected like
'things' in front... *
The door wasn't that far away... But they was a very real threat of
those two weapons at this range... He would have to use all his skill in
the deadly arts of persuasion!... Yea, like that was going to
work...
"About time!" He said proudly hands open in
a mocked frustration... "I must say my trip in that crate was
most discomforting with a poor view and terrible smell!" He Said
with frustration. "You Really need to work on that... And the Food
was awful!" He shrugged hands crossed over his body... "But I
suppose I did arrive here safely... Thanks to you three handsome lads...
Naturally, I will put a note of commendation to your boss."
He said complementing the Three crouching up , ready to pounce if
things this longshot of a blabbering his way thought didn't work...
"Now its only natural you let me take it form here and
let me pass thought that door unchallenged… I would hate to say
something to your boss of the negative variety... No?" He said open
handed weat pouring down his brow...
"Owa, quit
it!" He said sharply as a thud hit his helmet giving it a quick
rub. "Come on let me thought I'm just here to see your boss and
take lots of pretty pictures of your hard work..." .
This would ether be distracting enough that he could make a break for
the door... Or they let him through depending on how smart or dum they
where...
Or the more likely... He would have to do something little more...
Drastic...(edited)
((OOC: I hope is a bit humorous for you @Almighty_Jado - Kapak Love to see where his is going...))
Kapak:
The three creatures looked at each other, mumbling and gurgling noises
at each other. One of them nodded its head, but the one next to it
slapped it in the face. They paused for a moment, silently turning
towards Rast and observing him for a moment.
“Blerg... grrrkk... tehhhhh, no?” One of the things burped at Rast. They turned back towards each other
in a miniature huddle to discuss something via incoherent burbling and
grunts. Rast might be able to make a break for it...!
1
((The Three creatures look like the thing on the right in this image:)
Rast:
The Excalibur nodded and shrugged and made a few hand justice in a
attempt to communicate... But when they turned they back... It was the
chance he was looking for...
As quietly as he could
tiptoeing he 'side shuffled' his way slowly towards the door
hoping that it somehow just open for him...
Or maybe a switch
or something...(edited)
((OOC: @Almighty_Jado - Kapak I can see the pic >.< But rast is goneing to make a brake for it either way))
Kapak:
The door opened from motion detection, revealing a dimly lit hallway
decorated with nothing save a few ceiling lights. The walls seemed to be
lined with a plastic wrapping. Unfortunately, it seems like the noise of
the door opening got the attention of the three beings, and they
squawked in alarm before starting to run towards him as fast as they
could on their short legs. Being in a Warframe, it was likely that Rast
would be able to easily outrun them.
Rast:
*The door Opened... "Yes" Rast saw the the
three short legged creature turn to see him... "No..."
*
*Quickly say something..."Keep up the good work, I see
my way out..." The Excalibur said attempting keep up the ruse
taking a final step for better or for worst, into the corridor.
But like that was going to work... *
Rast bolted down the corridor, heavy boots clicking and echoing on the
hard floor... Despite being in a warframe, Rast did not 'bounce
around' from wall to wall. For whatever reason he, rather detested
'bouncing around' unless he really had to. Still his two feet
and muscular legs carried him well as his equipment on his belt jingled
all the way...
He kept eyeing for a way to hide... A Vent or something... An empty
room mabey or a door... Somewhere where he could gather his
bearings...
((OOC All your man Where has Rast run into? @Almighty_Jado - Kapak ))
~As Rast runs down the corridor, no doors seem to appear. Behind him,
the angry squawks and growls of the creatures echo, but fortunately
everything ahead of him seemed clear. Rast can also notice that the
corridor was curling around to the left, and also was slanted
upwards.
Then, before him, a door! It looks like some kind of heavy
airlock almost, with a closed revolving door. There was a keypad next to
the door, displaying a screen in red light. There was a prompt asking
him for a password, with a hint underneath that said:
“Kuve’s Favourite.” The password was 8 characters
long. Fortunately, Rast had run much faster than those creatures were
capable of- he had plenty of time for a few guesses or even to attempt
hacking the panel.~
((Good luck figuring out this
one!))
Rast:
* 'A Door! Thank the void for a Door!'
Rast speed didn't decrease It fact quite the contrary increasing.
Tucking his shoulder in as he got closer he lepet intent on shoulder
barging the door open... Of course that went as well as expected... With
a loud metal metallic Thud of Rast bouncing off... Followed by a collapsed
Excalibur hitting the hard floor ungracefully as he groaned in
pain... *
"Well it was worth a shot... Arrrg" Rast
muttered to himself standing up rolling his shoulder...
*He saw the keypad and then looked behind him at the
incoming sounds... "Great..." Rast said slightly defeated, but
he quickly went to work... He had been 'brought up' by corpus so
he had some experience in 'computing' but somehow he doubted it
would be easy... And let alone the clue meant very little to him... *
But first the basics Before geting in to anything technical...
"1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1..." Rast muttered to himself as
he input the first code hands working quite naturally on a keypad...
"1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2..." Rast muttered again...
"1,1,1,1,1,1,1,3..." And again...
He
did have a more... Complex engineering plan... but try the basics first
and they were very quick to input...
"9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9"...
"9,9,9,9,9,9,9,8"
They where two other Numbers he could think of.... That one of
his old colleagues tease'ed him about... Worth a shot...
"5,5,3,1,8,0,0,8" He Felt rather unprofessional
put that one in...
"3,1,0,4,1,1,3,4" Which
summarise what he had just go thought and was still going thought at the
moment...
(( OOC: just for a lol here you go : p @Almighty_Jado - Kapak
https://www.wikihow.com/Write-Words-With-a-Calculator Can you work out the last two? > : P ))
~The door beeps angrily with every attempt Rast put in. None of his
attempts are correct, and the sounds of the creatures continues to get
louder. The barking of the two headed Charger has now also joined the
distant, approaching sounds. Rast was running out of time.....!~
((LOL))
Rast:
"Right... Hummm.... Lets test my luck." He said rather calmly
a militaristic drilled discipline fail over him as he rolled his
shoulders and rolled around his Rifle around... He took a quick note oh
his obsolete rifle giving it a once over hands all to natural checking
systems like it was an extension on his arm... His Karak had serve him
well all throughout his mercenary career... In many ways it was the solo
weapon he relied on and he new every scratch and chip on it.
He quickly raised up the rifle high before slamming the Base butt of
the rifle hard against the number panel knocking it off the wall and to
see the wiring behind...
Quickly leaning the rifle against the wall he set his work about the
wiring, his corpus house had thought him a few tricks and his discipline
focused him totally on the task at hand. He was trying to bypass
the door mechanics to open the door directly or at least a little bit of
it so he could forced it open... His fingers worked quickly but calmly.
His thoughts quite different to how he had been previously, totally
focused and disciplined like a well oiled machine... It was in
these conditions he worked best and he wouldn't crack under
pressure... He would only endure like he had always done.
((OOC: Bit more 'serious' post this time : P Still
hope you like : ) )) @Almighty_Jado - Kapak(edited)
~Rast's skills carry him through with ease. The system is bypassed
easily; it seems like it was designed for keeping much more stupid
things out. Hackers seemed like an unprecedented event for this
door's console.
The screen portion of console gives a more
happy-sounding beep as the door slid open, a 1-eyed, pixelated smiley
face showing up on the monitor.
On the other side of the door
was... another door. Or more accurately, an exact copy of the door he
just passed through. There was a 2 meter gap between both doors, and the
walls were lined with things that looked like black spray nozzles.
The
rest of the inside of the room seemed empty, moreso due to the dim
lighting and black walls. From the corner of his eye, Rast might be able
to see the two headed Charger bound around the corner, quickly sprinting
to catch up, a vile slurry of venom and saliva flicking from its
mandibles. It unleashed a sound akin to the marriage of a roar and a
bark as it angrily stormed forwards, both heads snapping
hungrily.~
Rast:
A brief moment of jubilation at the thrill of success soon dissipated
as the second door was revealed... He didn't like the look of the
room his paranoia of his bad luck doing him no favours. Chances where it
was some sort of sanitation room or air lock thing... But it could have
also very easily been a trap... Although looking back Charger maybe not
for him...
Still options spent he grabbed his rifle and with a excel of
breath he entered and began immediately looking for another consul to
hack or break in his case...
(OOC: Go on man, I will bite just to see what
happens! To poor old Rast! @Almighty_Jado - Kapak ))(edited)
May 17, 2018
~The door swung shut as soon as Rast set foot inside, the entryway
reverberating as the Charger bashes its heads against it. Quickly, the
chamber filled up with a blue-grey gas that sprayed from the wall
mounted nozzles, and before Rast knew it, the wall in front of him
opened. He was now on the opposite side of the door, with the Charger
still bashing its head against the door, it’s muffled growls
leaking through the walls.
In front of Rast, there was ladder-like
staircase that led downwards. There was a floor visible, but that was
about the extent of what Rast could see from the top of the steps other
than the metal walls and ceiling.
In the air, glowing amber wisps
flitted about, giving wherever he was now a slightly whimsical feel.
All
around him, the hum of machinery sounded out quietly...~(edited)
Rast:
The Rast nearly jumped out of his warframe as the door behind closed
instinctively raising his rifle to the door behind hearing the thumps of
the charge behind...
Still his paranoia that he was now in a room that he couldn't see
out of wasn't exactly a comforting... "Well Could be
worse..." Rast said allowed to himself trying to comfort
approach... That maybe...
Then the blue Gas...
Instinct kicked in as he held his breath and desperately tried to fan
the gas away with his spare hand... To only turn to a nozzle and get a
face fall out 'Gas' he stepped back feel like he was going
to choke blinded by the gas before stepping back some more half waddled
more concerned get away from the gas then what was behind... Failing to
notice that the door had opened to allow him thought...
'What in the void was that?!' He thought to him self still
backing away. Some sort of cleaning agent? Yet before he could fathom
what it was or more importantly what it did to him... His feet took one
step back to far...
*Rubbing his eyes the next thing he knew his feet
weren't on solid ground... He tripped back his helmet hitting the
wall hard behind slightly dizzy... His next food followed his first into
nothingness before he knew it his needs it something hard... And before
he could even look down he could hear himself falling... Naturally
he would of scrambled his arms to grab onto something that was if the
front of his head had just hit the front of the entrance to his whole...
Totally dizzy now there was a unified "OW" before he felt
himself falling downward face, stomach first... Before he you knew it he
his the cold hard floor with a definitive thud...
"UUrrrrgaaa" A winded and dizzy Rast went as he barely rolled
himself around to look up at the ladder and hole he had tottly missed...
To only see something else follow him down that looked a lot like his
rifle... Its butt landing heavily on his stomach and never the
regions...
"URrrrrrr" Was the only Word that escaped his mouth as he
curled up for a second clutching his stomach totally defeated by the
great enemy of gravity...
He took hold of his rifle in his hand quite content for the most part
to just lay they rather uncomfortably on his back his old sword and
equipment doing no favours for his posture....
After several more groans that sounded as painful as they could of...
followed by an assortment of 'Bad corpus words' that where
totally unprofessional... He gave a brief look around finally managing
to sit up against the ladder rifle in his lap... content for the moment
to sit...(edited)

~As Rast looks around, he realizes where he is; he’s inside an
Orbiter! Judging by the amount of infestation he could see, this was
likely the same Orbiter he saw from the outside.
The ladder
he’d fell from must have been part of a tube that connected to the
Landing Craft docking station.
To Rast’s left, there was a
Foundry station, several trays of fluid sitting idly on the top of it.
The robotic arm for the machine was covered in infested growths, and
appeared to be laying eggs on one of the trays.
To Rast’s
right was a Modification Station, covered in a dense webbing of
technocyte.
Rast could also make out in the farther back another
sleeping Helminth Charger, this one thankfully normal looking... only
one head this time! It was napping, it’s head on its claws,
it’s sides heaving with deep, slow breaths.~
May 20, 2018
Rast:
Well Bugger... Rast grogginess finally computing where he was... It was
the last place he wanted to be be in at this present time. Inside
'that' Orbitor... Rast couldn't resist but 'face
Palm' his bad luck...
Still he had a job to do... Taking out that scanner again from his
belt. He began 'photographing' the creepy egg laying thing...
What he could only make out as an modification station... He thought...
And then a Helminth Charger that slept rather cutely, a thought that
quickly subsided with the face that it probably will could tear him
apart...
Yet this did begged the question of whom his Orbitor belonged to it was
too well organised to be just an infected vessel. Whoever it was loved
they infected...
'Right Rast off your butt'... The Excalibur thought to
himself... Standing up as quietly as he could, he began to tip toe his
way forward... His objective was to get to the cockpit... Maybe draw up
a map of a possible escape route... And to not get mauled on by a
Helminth Charger that he kept both eyes on observing 'its'
colours and behaviour for changes...(edited)
((OOC: @Almighty_Jado - Kapak What have you got Rast In to now? : P ) )
May 21, 2018
((Actually Rast, there is no cockpit- the landing craft is currently not attached to the Orbiter. Rast actually just entered through a hole where the cockpit should be!))
Rast:
'So the cockpit should be...' Rast thought mid step still
tiptoeing... 'Wait a minute...' He took another calculated look
around... That's the way he came from... Is it?... He looked back
and forth getting his bearings... He must have hid his head harder then
he thought.
So they... Was only one way forward that he could see... Past that
sleeping mutt...
Rast gulped... He didn't mind Kuborw's or they variants... But
knowing his luck.... He eyed the Helminth closer still taking tip toe
stepped which was harder then it should have been in black boots... A
part of him wishing he kept that box...
Then his boot heels clicked... And the Grey Excalibur froze...(edited)
((OOC: @Almighty_Jado - Kapak lol Np man! hopefully this works! ))(edited)
May 23, 2018
~As soon as Rast's heels clicked, an enormous, holographic eye
appeared before him.~
⇝Helminth:
-YOU INTRUDE UPON MY DOMAIN. WHO ARE YOU? NO MATTER YOUR ANSWER, MY MASTER SHALL BE INFORMED, HIS HAND OF JUSTICE COMING DOWN TO CLEANSE THIS SANCTUM OF YOUR VILE, DEMONIC FILTH.
Rast:
Rast froze dead in his step open mouthed at the hologram... His
mind raced for an way out for which he doubted there was... And despite
what he was actually feeling inside and the horror of where he was and
what was talking to him and despite wanting to run the other way back up
the ladder the take his chances with the infected his discipline held...
Hiding that he wanted to say a few words unprofessional and that he was
sure he could feel sweat rundowns his neck...
He put on his
best face and stood tall... Mocking a gesture of confusion hands
open not wishing to appear threatening... Like at all... Not knowing
what he was talking to...
"Me? Intruding? Noooo." He said quite
defensively his experience with corpus ailing in this.
"I'm the new..." Rast desperate looks around
for an valid excuse... Eye's finally setting on the Helminth
Charger.
"Kubrow Walker! Yes!... I trust you are the
Guardian on this ship and its Cephalon?" The Excalibur said
as coolly as he could... It was rather desperate ploy to maybe escape...
But you never knew until you tried... And Rast did hoped he did live
long enough to try again...
((OOC: @Almighty_Jado - Kapak They you go man wikked stuff with the voice!))(edited)
May 24, 2018
((I was gonna do another voice clip but that would take too long and I
don't want to keep you waiting))
⇝Helminth:
-YOU... CANINE ORGANISM CARETAKER? MY RECORDS DO NOT SHOW MY MASTER NEEDING OR REQUESTING SUCH AN IDIVIDUAL... NOR IS YOUR FLESH DOCUMENTED WITHIN THE ANNALS OF MY REALM. PLEASE REMAIN CALM WHILE I SCOUR YOUR FEEBLE MIND FOR THE BETRAYING FLUID. WHATEVER DARK ENIGMAS HIDE WITHIN THE DEMON'S MIND CANNOT BE HIDDEN FROM MY GAZE.
A Djinn floats around the corner and begins to scan your
Warframe.
May 25, 2018
((OOC: Np man I love your post still! ))
Rast:
Well that was worth a shot... The Excalibur thought grimly... He did
what he was told not wishing to anger an Cephalon. Knowing how volatile
Elexis could be. Let alone one who has embraced the infection...
"Of course you wouldn't have me on your
records... I'm New!... Very new!" Rast tried to explain before
eyeing that Djinn, he was going to have to let it scan him... He had
somehow convince this Cephalon that he wasn't a threat... Hands still up and defensively...
"Look lets look at this Logically... Would I
have gotten so far into his complex and in to your... Domain... If I
wasn't invited?" He asks putting on a fake demeanour.
Discipline still holding...
Yet even though Rast felt little
in the scan quite oblivious to what they might have been revealing,
trying to maintain a level calm... And as being as nonthreatening as
possible, until the right opportunity presents itself.(edited)
((FYI you were only being scanned for brain chemistry, hehe. Helminth
can’t read minds unless you somehow got infected, which is
impossible :P
So if u want to delete some of the stuff you posted
to prevent any spoilers, I’ll let you do that now before I post
again! Sorry for not making it clear, but Helminth has the tendency to
talk real weird like and far out))
((OOC: LOL ... Np Man : P I was reading it like a Nyx was Reading Rast's mind, my bad But I hope it give you a little snek peek in to his solo > : P... But they you go @Almighty_Jado - Kapak Hope that works better!))(edited)
May 27, 2018
((omg sorry for late reply!!))
⇝Helminth:
-TRANSFERENCE WAVES SUGGEST INCREASED BLOOD FLOW IN PREFRONTAL CORTEX. RESONANCE WAVE FREQUENCIES REFLECT PRESENCE OF OXYTOCIN ABOVE AVERAGE. YOU SHROUD THE TRUTH FROM ME, VILE CREATURE. YOU ATTEMPT TO SWAY THE ONE PATH FROM OUR SIGHT. DID YOU REALLY BELIEVE YOUR MISERABLE, PATHETIC ATTEMPT TO WARP THE LIGHT OF FACT AWAY FROM MY VISION? PREPARE.
Suddenly, all around Rast, scythe-bladed, insect-like claws descended
from the ceiling, all eagerly intent on eviscerating Rast. But just
before they reached his body, they stopped moving, and began to
retract.
-YOU ARE FORTUNATE, DEMON OF THE BARREN PLAIN. MY MASTER WISHES TO DISPOSE OF YOU HIMSELF. AS MUCH AS I WOULD TAKE GREAT DELIGHT AND HONOR IN DISPOSING OF YOUR CORRUPT, HERETICAL VESSEL, I WISH TO OBEY MY MASTER'S WISHES. MAY YOU RECEIVE THE JUSTICE THAT YOU ARE DUE.
The hologram of the eyeball disappeared with a flicker as the last of
the scythe claws disappeared into the ceiling. The ship was quiet again,
save for the soft grumbling of the sleeping Helminth Charger, and the
low hum of Orbiter machinery beneath Rast's feet.(edited)
May 28, 2018
Rast:
'Well that didn't work...' Rast thoguht as his adrenaline
soared. Seeing the insects starting to crawl and clawed their way
towards Rast the situation looked rather grim as he looked upon the
insects and they claws that made his skin crawled...
The time of
talking was over... But he wasn't going to be...
'Disassembled' by the insects he could help it...
His hands started to lower at thought of a way out this
nightmare... Taking a deep breath in his adrenaline calmed and heart
steadied... His left hand reaching down for crude round spherical object
on his belt. The other reaching back to a eager sword its gem red eye
flickering to life.
Suddenly as the insects stopped they
started to retract. Unsure Rast held him self ready but then ironically
calmed and lowered his hands at the Cephalon dire threat of its apparent
master wishing to deal with him... Rast wasn't sure how to take it
but anything is better then getting eaten alive by those insects... If
they were even that.
Rast didn't say anything just let everything be... The game
was up and he knew when he was beaten... Very Corpus like the only thing
he could do now was to negotiate for better terms... With this apparent
master... Or to wait for an opportune moment to escape...
So Rast took the path of patients to better appear weak and
defeated... If only to gain an upper hand later on...
"Well... I just wait here then?" Rast said
humorously trying to lift the mood.
He sat down with legs bent out in front arms resting on his knees...
Eyeing the Helminth Charger whom had done nothing but sleep... It was
undoubtedly rather cute in its soft grumbling... And Rast couldn't
help but smirk happily head cocked in curiosity at the apparent
creature.(edited)
((OOC @Almighty_Jado - Kapak Np man : ) ))
((You don’t have to change anything in your post, but the the things that came from the ceiling weren’t actually insects, they were just insect-like claws. Just for clarification for anyone else reading!))
1
~The Charger’s six “eyes” opened up, casting an
ominous magenta glow across Rast’s face. It emitted a low grumble,
but didn’t move too much.
In the meantime, something in the
lower level of the Orbiter was releasing an almost musical sounding hum,
which Rast could hear coming from the two ramps that led
downwards.~
May 30, 2018
Rast:
"Hellllooo... Didn't mean to wake ya."
Rast said honestly voice calm straightening his head. "Your A
handsome Boy aren't you? I wonder where your master is..."
He asked curiously not sure if it was male or female
Reaching back of his belt and deep into a bread bag he had a special
way of neutralising Kubrow's... He pulled out a smelly small cloth.
Unravelling a tough looking piece of crackling. It was cheap fat and
crunchy... Having a lightly burnt smell and texture...
Rast cracked the peace in half making sure to cover the rest.
He clicked his tongue twice in the hopes of getting the charger's
attention before open handily offering the peace of crackling on his
open hand... "Here Boy... Its perfectly fine... No need to worry
about me..." Rast remained as friendly as he could seeking to at
least win the Kubrow's favour so it wont pounce when Rast turned his
back to investigate this music that he could here... Or at lease gauge
if this Kuvrow was 'friendly' or not
@Almighty_Jado - Kapak(edited)
June 1, 2018
~The Charger watches Rast lazily, ignoring the offering presented to it. Neither does it bark or leap at him- it seems quite indifferent to him compared to the two headed one from outside.~
June 2, 2018
Rast:
"Not interested? Fine no problem I just leave it
here then..." Placing the 'treat' down on the floor. Rast slowly stood up and
turned away from the Charger, content that at lest for now it wasn't
going to pounce on him... Still he kept a wary eye as he descended
cautiously down to where the music was coming from...
Not entering the room just eavesdropping for movement...
@Almighty_Jado - Kapak
June 4, 2018
~The sound was like a choir, all singing a chorus together, a pleasant hum supporting them. Then, cutting through the whole song, a haunting, sinister reverberence echoed out. Rast could make out a pale blue light shining from around the corner...~(edited)
Rast:
The singing was pleasant to the ear almost hypnotic... But it was
that underlying haunting sound that he focused on. "Arrr Rast the things you get your self into..." He
muttered to himself.*
"Well your not gona live
forever..." He said more confidently then he thought. As he took a step into the
room a hand in front to shield the light from his helmet... As he tried
to peek under to see what it was... Hoping that this wasn't the
'end' and he wasn't proceeding towards the 'light'
of void knows where.
((OOC: And so Rast adventure ends as he ascends
towards the light... Not knowing that he had already died moments ago
ripped apart like a kubow's chuw toy... >: P @Almighty_Jado - Kapak ))(edited)
June 5, 2018
~As Rast turns the corner, he is met with a surprise!
Strung up
against the wall is a Sentient Battalyst. It’s weapon arms had
been removed, and it did not move at all despite the blue glow emanating
from its chest socket. Along its side are several slash marks, with a
tube stuck into the breach. The other end of the tube was attached to a
small pump that was feeding a steady, little trickle of light blue fluid
into a glass jar.
It seemed like whoever had set this up was
ultimately trying to harvest something from this enigmatic robot.
Truly
a strange sight within a heavily infested area, consider how the
infestation reacts to Sentients.~
Rast:
Rast blinked once... Then twice rubbing his helmeted eyes... Then
walked out around the corner to come back in. But no the Sentient was
still there... Unfortunately...
"By the void..." Rast muttered in disbelief that not only was a 'Sentinel'
strapped down and 'disabled' but this was also the first time he
had actually seen one of these death machines... Apart from cautionary
tales of other Tenno and pitches...
This was all getting all to much for him... The infected was bad enough
in they multitude of different strands... Let alone the murderous
Cephalon and now this! "Aye Yar Aye... I'm definitely not getting paid
enough for this..." He said as he shook his head in disbelief , reaching for the scanner
camera on his belt to start taking pictures of the Sentinel and the
surrounding... Not really wishing to know what it took to restrain a
Sentient let along the ongoing process around it...
Rast being the mercenary he was, knew how much profit could be from
just these pictures... Let alone what 'Dream' would pay for such
information... That is if of course... He got out alive...
((OOC: My lotus... What are you doing to that poor
Sentient! @Almighty_Jado - Kapak lol Awesome ))(edited)
June 10, 2018
~At that moment, there was a loud crashing noise from the main
compartment where Rast had just been~
???:
"OROKIN REMNANT, PUT YOUR HANDS UP!" There was a stomping noise, which sounded like several people all
moving at once...
"Where the void...? My cephalon said that he's aboard
the ship still. Find him! Devros, be careful with that leg! And make
sure both you and your kubrow keep those breathing apparatuses
on!"
(( @Rozencratz - Devros von Inie @Disruptis - Disruptis ))
???:
As soon as the new voice had issued its initial warning, the rapid fire
of gunshots resounded throughout the hall. The trained ear could
recognize the sound of a quartakk, but also caught no sound of bullets
hitting anything.(edited)
June 11, 2018
???
“Quaerere” Another voice boomed out after the first one. The heavy pitter patter
of claws scraping on the floor can be heard resonating through the ship.
Something big is walking around on all fours, sniffing across the
corridors in a vigorous manner.
June 12, 2018
Rast:
" 'Bad corpus word' " Was the first thing he thought herd hearing the first shout. Maybe it
wasn't going to be so bad. He just surrender and play negotiation.
Then he heard the 'gunshots' and his original plan went out the
air lock.
Then of course the word 'Kubrow' followed by the distinct sound
of something rather large and undoubtedly hairy stalking around.
Didn't bode well for his potential profits...
The grey Excalibur looked around furiously the room pocketing the
scanner... For maybe a box... But that particular box was too
small... Yet as the footsteps go closer that box looked more more
appealing...
Yet he then looked up at the ceiling... It was unnatural for anyone to
look up... Figuring it was of his best chance. Rast had one last trick
up his sleeve. Quickly reaching into his bread bag he pulled out the
rest of the crunchy crackling he had saved. Hoping the smell was potent
enough. He broke it up into smaller pieces and chucked it to the far
corners of the room in the hopes of at lease distracting the
Kubrow...
"Right Rast come on you bugger up ARrr you Go!
ARrr" The grey Excalibur whispered to himself. As he clung onto the ceilings
, wedging himself into a star like position in the beams trying his best
his best to get behind the wiring to blend in with the ceiling... It was
rather desperate ploy... But it might just work...
Rast uncomfortably star shaped perfectly still, gazed down hoping that
however unlikely, the void might smile on him...
Kapak:
Rast could see below him a tall, twisted Nidus Warframe walking down
the ramp to the bottom level of the Orbiter compartment. Behind him was
a Tenno boy with a head of unkempt hair and an enormous, furry (and
non-infested) Kubrow. Both the boy and his dog bore transparent
bubble-like breathing apparatuses over their faces, obviously to protect
them from the orange spores that continually danced about in the air.
Behind the Kubrow was the Helminth Charger That Rast had offered food to
earlier. It trailed close behind the Kubrow, sniffing its rear end with
great interest.
“Disruptis, don’t touch those planters!” the Nidus called behind him to what was likely a third individual that
Rast hadn’t seen yet, “those are growing fetuses in them, believe it or not!
Authentic Tubemen of Regor! Cost an arm and a leg for me to get even
one!”
The Nidus paused and stood directly under Rast.
“Devros, can you try and get Garhul to sniff out this
fathermucker? My... cephalon’s lost track of him, believe it or
not,” he asked, unaware of the presence of bread in the corners of the floor.
It was at this point Rast would also be able to see the three
monkey-like infested creatures that he had run into earlier. They hung
around the Nidus, nervously chittering at each other.
Disruptis:
“The muck!?!?” an unseen voice exclaimed, “Kappa you gotta chill with the ominous plans for world
domination here.” A black and yellow Limbo wearing a salix syndana sauntered into
Rast's view. A quartakk hung on his back, ultimately marking him
responsible for the previous gunfire.
“I bet he ran in here,” he announced, waking up to the room’s right-most doorway. “He may be posing as a fish.”(edited)
Devros von Inie
Close behind the Nidus, is the dark haired messy boy, dressed in what
looks like a makeshift chief outfit out of multiple syndanas, most
memorably is what he’s wearing around his legs…which is
something akin to a kilt. The left sleeve is ripped off and wrapped
around his right tight area, the wrap up is marked with redness from a
recent wound.
“Aye, gave 'imself de comman'
already…but don’t nu if he can fend him in dis flesh
castl’”
He spoke with a thick old Earth accent, letting out a chuckle at the
end. The boy leaned on to a nearby wall to keep pressure off his wounded
leg.
Garhul, his operator sized bulky kubrow, is already hard
at work but the flesh in the room keep him in a constant distraction
from any strange smells. He doesn’t seem to mind the infested
charger sticking so close to his rear as he picks up a scent and follows
it down the corridor to where Rast threw the treats since they’re
the only thing he picked up that is different from the norm in this
oozing ship.
“Maybe yer man melted in wi' de flesh? Yer sure
yer nu every 'ole an' corner in 'ere?”
He glanced at the little infested creatures from the corner of his
glasses, finding them amusing.(edited)
((OOC: DARRrrr awesome stuff Gents! Cant wait to see how this plays
out!))
Rast:
Well this was 'bad'... A Nidus and a Limbo. A nasty combination
let alone their impressive armament. Yet then again anything and
everything was impressive in comparison to his obsolete weaponry and
rusted Warframe... The three infected monkey like creatures where an
unknown 'variable' and would have concerned the Excalibur if it
wasn't for the Kubrow didn't inspire confidence either,
especially the large one that was next to the kid but for the moment his
food trick and the infected environment seemed throw they sent off him.
For now at least...
Rast would have gulped if he knew it
wouldn't have given away his position. Uncomfortable muscles
tensed and bulging he held on for dear life breath almost non-existent
as he controlled his heart rate... He was no Ash or Loki... But this was
the best he could offer...
So for now he listened intently
patiently waiting for a opportunity to escape, gathering in Intel,
especially on those apparent planters... That apparently costs an arm
and leg... And would undoubtedly be worth a healthy sum of
credits...
Yet his grip on the less than solid ceiling was becoming problematic.
His hands and feet finding it harder and harder to hold there
grip...(edited)
June 14, 2018
Kapak:
“There is no way in void he’s in that room,” Kapak said, “Or in my somatic link. That leaves either the living
quarters, or some nook and cranny in the walls, or under the
floorboards...”
Kapak scratched his bloated head.
“I’m pretty sure I know my own Orbiter inside and
out... but it IS under repairs right now. There ARE crawlspaces in the
walls, floors and ceilings, but mostly for the engineers to travel
by.” Kapak gestured to the small creatures standing beside him. “Oh, and also my maggots. They love snuggling up in all the
cozy little spaces.”
~Almost as if on queue, an
infested maggot fell out of a space on the ceiling right above Rast,
landing on his torso. Fortunately it appeared to have dozed
off...~
Disruptis:
“Well, I’m at a loss then,” Disruptis proclaimed, spinning around with his arms extended low, “if said intruder was invisible and breathing down our
necks right now, would you be able to tell Kappa?”
The Limbo stepped up to the door to what is usually the quarters of the
ship and attempted to open it anyway. Truthfully, he just wanted to see
what else Kapak had hidden aboard his ship.(edited)
June 15, 2018
Devros von Inie
The large Lotus pelted Kubrow came trotting back, with something in
it’s mouth. It happily scampered towards Devros and the boy smiled
at his companion, extending a palm bellow for whatever his friend had.
Garhul opened his maw and spit out the crackers that he found in the
other room, all slimy and dripping with his spit.
“Uh…”
The boy said with a raised eyebrow and looked at his kubrows pleased
expression, stubby tail wagging. Devros chuckled at his companion and
returned the hand back at Garhul for him to eat up. “Good
job!” He reassures and wipes his palm as he gives his kubrow a pet
on the head. Thinking, the behemoth kubrow will turn around and offer
some of the crackers to the charger by darting out his tongue with the
stuff on it if it was still following him.
“Well….either they are a really messy eaters
or they’re well prepared”
He adjusted himself against the wall "Speakin' av whaich, canny yer maggots fend
'im?"(edited)
June 16, 2018
Rast:
All was going to plan... If the plan was to stay frozen like a star on
the ceiling. Still Rast was patient he waited and listened in
total silence above the group not daring to move barely breathing. Glad
that his arm and leg muscles where up to the task.
Yet a few words caught his attention... Primary of which was
'crawlspaces' in the ceiling. It was a possible way out although
he had failed to notice them at the moment... Slowly he turned his head
left to right eyeing for a possible means of escaping quietly, although
he was unable to move with out making noise at the moment...
Then that other word... 'Maggots'... Caused the scarred
Excalibur to look at the one who said it in slight alarm... Normally a
few bugs wouldn't bother him... But just as he was looking down for
what one of them might have looked like he felt something fall on his
back that made his hair stick on edge... Worse still when he was sure he
could feel it move slowly across his back.
With a slow turn of his head he eyed his left arm and hand that was
straight out still holding on to lodged in to the ceiling side. To
see something rather unpleasant cruel and slide on to his finger and
then to the back of his hand...
Now Rast was disciplined enough not to squeal or to move... Let alone
for two 'small' maggots... The problem was there wasn't just
two... And he couldn't now unsee, what he seen...
Head turning very slowly back down as he loomed down on those below
trying to focus on what they where saying... Over what he was currently
feeling...(edited)
June 18, 2018
Kapak:
As Disruptis passed by the Sentient Battalyst strung against the wall,
the door to the quarters opened up, unveiling an even dimmer lit portion
of the ship.
The Helminth Charger reeled back, its crocodilian visage scrunching up
at the smell of the crackers. "Ah, yeah, most of the other... denizens on my ship
don't eat anything without substantial protein values." The Nidus scratched the Charger's neck. "We appreciate your Kubrow's generous offer
though," he said, smiling at the massive ball of fur. "As for my maggots... well, yeah if they see him, we'll
know. Hopefully they aren't stupid enough to blow up in here." Kapak began to move towards Disruptis, patting the Sentient on the
'knee' as he passed it.
~Fortunately for Rast, the maggot on his back didn't
move any more that a slight shuffle. It seemed to still be asleep, as
were the ones nestled in the wall, but probably wouldn't be for
long....!~
Disruptis:
Despite his searching, the Limbo somehow did not notice the sentient
strapped to the wall at all. He still remained oblivious to it as he
stepped into Kapak’s the darkened room.
“Ho ho ho! What do we have here?” Disruptis boomed in excitement, rubbing his palms together with
glee.(edited)
June 21, 2018
Devros von Inie
The kubrow tilts his head to the left, ears flopping over in a familiar
goofy pose as the charger reels from his offers. With a gruff he rolls
his tongue back in and starts chewing on the food. Devros smiles and
pushes himself off the wall to stand on his healthy leg
“Den i’ll 'av ter prepare wan av me
delicious foods for yisser cru. 'av a picknick”
He smirked and followed after the duo with a limp, passing Rast’s
overhead position. However, the enormous beast of a kubrow stayed bellow
the hanging warframe, chewing on the morsel in his mouth and looking at
the charger, pondering on a few things
“Oi bet bringin' dat 'eckler in 'ere
couldn’t 'av been easy.”
The boy says as he passes the sentient
June 22, 2018
Rast:
As for Rast he still remained still although intently listening in,
hoping to pick up a few more interesting and potentially profitable
things about the Sentient, that he could later pass on for a few extras
credits.
Still for now he remained still and quiet. Slightly
unnerved that the apparent magnets only 'substantial protein
values' and he couldn't help but wonder if that included him...
And then they was that fer ball of a Kubrow... Whom looked
harmless enough... Although... The size of its paws and mouth did not
inspire the greatest amount confidence...(edited)
June 24, 2018
~The lights of the room turned on as Disruptis crossed the threshold,
although the room remained rather dim.
The personal quarters were
what most of the visitors expected it to look like: swathes of
infestation covered the walls, the ceiling, and the floor.
Where
there usually was a series of aquariums for decorative fish there was
more infested flora, their alien patterns growing around the broken
glass.
The musical somachord unit that usually say in the middle of
the room seemed to have been removed; in its place was a fleshy pit
surrounded by toothy spines. It appeared to be filled with an amber
fluid that matched the colour of the spores in the air.
The large
glass window that usually showed the exterior of the ship was covered in
Infestation as well, effectively blocking any view to the outside.
In
the corner of the room on the shelves lay an incredible mess of relics.
A black donda; a deactivated Sentient core; a broken Ayatan; a rusty
looking Orokin weapon of unknown origin; several depleted Tigris Prime
shells; a Dark Dagger with a shattered blade; a Corpus datapad with a
spiderweb cracked screen; the stock of an Arca Plasmor; several Void
Keys; the handle for an Ostron tool; a small bronze, tarnished statue of
a Dax warrior; the mechanical eyeball from a Grineer; a boot; even more
lay beneath the list of things that they could make out.
On the
wall next to the pile were three weapons mounted: a pulsating Hema
glowing with the same magenta light as Kapak's boils on his body; a
massive blade made of bone and fleshy tentacles; and a rusted, tarnished
Tigris Prime, its golden leaf peeling off. ~(edited)
Kapak:
"Yeah," Kapak said, answering Devros as they stepped into the room, "It was a bit of a struggle, but all you really gotta do to
deal with those Sentients is tear out all of their power cells. Once you
do that, they can't really move. I honestly don't know where I
learned that from... I just kind of... knew it? Anyways," Kapak gestured with a flourish to the pile of crap in the corner.
"This place I'll admit is a mess. I mean, more than the
rest of the ship, heh heh heh heh..."
⇝Helminth:
A red holographic eye appeared from seemingly nowhere, its form
hovering over the foot of the infested tub in the center of the room.
The ship seemed to creak and grown along with the cephalon's
speech.
-AH, WELCOME FRIENDS OF THE MASTER. MAY THE BLESSING THAT IS BESTOWED UPON YOUR FLESH AND BLOOD PULSE WITH POWER.
The eye blinked as it shifted its 'gaze' between Disruptis and
Devros.
-A PLEASURE TO GREET YOUR VISAGE, DISRUPTIS. ALTHOUGH, YOUR FORM REEKS OF THE VOID. PERHAPS YOU HAVE TREAD NEAR THE DEMONS' REALM FAR TOO MUCH? AND YOU, DEVROS VON INIE, YOU HAVE JUST RECENTLY BEEN ADDED TO THE MAUSOLEUM OF FLESHKEEPING.
It fell silent.
Kapak:
"Yeah, this is... um, Helminth. He sees everything in here,
just like your cephalons see your whole ship within. He would've
known where this guy we're looking for went... but it wasn;t in
here. Perhaps he found a deadzone. After all um, Helminth errr isn't
exactly capable of monitoring the ship the same way most cephalons
can..."
~Rast would only be able to make out some of the
words coming from the inside of the quarters from his position. The door
remained open, as the Charger loitered around the entrance. However, its
back was turned away from Rast, its head deeply engrossed with the
behind of the giant Kubrow in front of it.~(edited)
June 27, 2018
Disruptis:
Disruptis grinned inwardly, enjoying the room’s atmosphere. He
wasn’t sure what he was expecting in terms of music, but it was
almost a shame that he couldn’t find out what tunes Kapak was
into. The Limbo walked up to the odd collection of knick knacks,
examining them one at a time. The Void keys caught his eye.
“Ohhh, you still have some of these two Kappa?” Disruptis remarked, “it’s almost a shame that relics became way better
than actually hunting for these gems and raiding what they
opened.”
He moved on through the list of items until his fingers stopped on the
Tigris Prime. On this, his body froze.(edited)
.
.
….
He was back in a large, open room. The structure was of beautiful
Orokin architecture. Golden rays of the sun beamed through the glass
dome above. He looked down at his hands, finding them as golden as the
pristine area he stood in. In one arm he held a curious device that he
found himself plugging into a console mounted to the platform. Whatever
it was doing, it finished it pretty quickly, and his view was shifted to
another platform along the side of the room a couple meters away. And
then he took in the full outlook on the room, noticing dozens of
platforms lining the circular walls in layers all the way down the tall
room. In the middle there stood a gigantic column of circuitry and
brilliant lights that spanned from the ceiling all the way down to the
ground.
He frantically jumped from platform to platform. Each
one held two, four, or even sometimes six consoles. Something needed to
be unstuck in one of the drives, but he couldn’t quite find out
where. Only 20% extracted, sentients knocking on their doorstep, and no
cephalon to help. Their? That’s right, he had a friend. A friend?
He paused for a minute and glanced towards the entrance. Through the
jammed-open door, he could see someone carving through battalysts in the
hallway. Smoke poured out of the opening as enemies were lit ablaze. The
figure wielded a familiar looking shotgun, blasting sentient bone marrow
across the corridor.
He came to his senses, his mind becoming
sharper and clearer within the lucid dream. He turned towards his ally
and held out his arm, trying to touch his friend. He staggered forward.
He was so close...
….
.
.(edited)
Disruptis let the shotgun fall to the floor with a CLUNK. He
must've taken it off at some time during his stupor. He could feel
tears begin to well up in his eyes as a pain he had long since come to
terms with struck afresh at his mind. They trickled slowly down his
cheek. Instinctively, the Tenno brought his arm up to his face to wipe
it. The action reminded him that he was still in his warframe, however,
and his face was only wet all the way back in his transference
chair.
“A-aaHk. Muck,” he whispered under his breath, clearing his voice at the same time. He
tried to recover from his outbreak before anyone noticed. A couple
moments later, Helminth appeared, and became a much welcome distraction
for Disruptis.
“Wha-- What the muck is this?!?! Kappa, this is not
by any standards a healthy-looking cephalon.” he exclaimed, backing up flat against the wall and knocking a few items
off the display case. The Limbo was basing his opinions purely on the
eye’s appearance, of course. The cephalon continued his speech,
addressing Disruptis’s stench of the Void.
“Ha ha, funny story actually,” Disruptis laughed nervously, rubbing his neck, “y’see, I kind of.. Um…….. Void,
you’re a sharp cephalon, aren’t you?”(edited)
June 29, 2018
Devros von Inie
“Whoa!”
Devros exclaimed as he stepped
inside the room, to see all the infestation just coiling around every
inch of the space. He feels like he just stepped in a breeding
ground…then again that’s how he’s felt ever since he
got on his twisted orbiter. Everything in it, from the floors, to the
walls and the inhabitants just seems so…organized! I mean,
infested usually goes with chaos, but everything in here is so neat (as
neat as infestation can get anyways) and for someone who’s been
trying to understand the infested for a heck of a long time, this just
feels like a goldmine. The dark haired boy hops towards the infested
flora that occupied what could have been the fish tanks. He reaches out
with his right palm to poke some of the tendrils and smiles as he
watches them playfully sway to the side, some reaching out for him.*
“Ey!
Dis is not data worthy for yer?”
*He lifts his gaze
towards the Limbo, curious as to why the previously eager scientist
wasn’t writing any of this down. But he notices him standing
still, frozen, holding a Tigris Prime.
“Um…”
He straightens up from his previous crouched position, looking at
Disruptis. “Is yer man gran' so? or just…” He was
just about to voice his concern but the sudden appearance of the great
infested eye made him jump back, reeling out of reflex at that jump
scare.
“Bloody 'ell! Warn a fella next time! Oi almost
'ad a 'eart reef!”
He let out a breath of air, clutching his chest with his left hand. But
then a thought hit him and his head twitches to the right, lifting his
eyes towards Kapak
“'owl up. Mousoleum av fleshkeepin'? Oi sure
'ope that’s de whole tin' wi' me
sample…”
His mind just instantly travels to a place onboard this Orbiter where
the Nidus just keeps flesh hanging off the walls, all posed in pure
artistic fashion.(edited)
Garhul
The kubrow quickly turns around to face the rear smelling charger but
not in a hostile way, in a more playful one. He lowers the upper half of
his body to the ground and stick out his rear one while wigging his
stubby little tail to indicate that he wants to mingle. Garhul
let’s out a low bark and will playfully bop the charger on
the head with his left front paw.
All the while, his mission
to find something unusual, seemed to fly out the nearest window.(edited)
Rast:
Although Rast could only hear brief words from the group... He wasnt
moving... Not with two Kubrow, three Tenno that would be unmistakably
armed to the teeth or worse and the unmistakable sound of that damned
Cephalon that sent chills down his spine...
Although he did
he did dare changes position slightly, if only to look down that upside
down towards the door to just to see the out line of the Kubrow... And
if he wasn't in such a awkward situation his heart or whats left of
it... Would have gone out to the Kubrow, that whated to play...
Undoubtedly his words would have been something like Arrwww if it wasnt
for the blood uncomfortably rushing to his helmet...
Yet in
his current predicament he slowly turned his head to look for an escape
looking for those supposedly cubbyholes or vents that would hopefully
lead him outside the ship falling that... A large box would do... So he
hoped...(edited)
July 4, 2018
Kapak:
“Oh, Helminth. Always speaks in metaphors and such, you
know? I’ve lived and worked with him long enough to understand
him, but people who aren’t familiar with his speech patterns can
be quite confused!”
Helminth continued to be silent,
its iris staring at the newcomers with an unexplainable emotion.
Kapak
picked up the Tigris Prime as his Charger and Garhul played in the
background.
“Dreadmare,” Kapak said. “Named it
that only recently. I felt like such a reliable weapon deserved a
name!”
~None of the vents were big enough for Rast. He
would probably have to carefully drop to the floor and find a better
hiding place somehow- oh, and of course not wake up the maggot sleeping
on his torso.~(edited)
Disruptis:
“Aha yes, of course.” Disruptis responded in a
slightly nervous tone. He walked over to the place on the orbiter where
the window usually resided.
“So, are you opposed to a
little space-shine Kappa or do you need it dark in here to grow some
top-quality Tenno scoom?” he inquired, gesturing towards the
infested mass of a wall and then to the colorful flora around the room.
"If you know what I mean."(edited)
Devros von Inie
“Not at al', yer man sounds rayle dapper…well de
words…the voice is a queck way ter a 'eart attack…or a
pure violent massage, de way he shakes everythin' whaen he speaks.
'as he tried 'ummin'? Oi bet dat wud fale gran' after a
'ard day av farmin'”
He smirked, one corner of his lips curling upwards in a playful way.
The messy haired boy looks over at the eye in the sky and tilts his head
in thought. Devros lives with a similar entity onboard his orbiter and
while his is a lot less vocal it still feels like a constant gaze is
following wherever he goes. Then again, his roommate is a lot more
touchy so in a way there are plus and minuses.
“So 'elminth aye? Yer two been together from de
start or…”
He trails of to let the Celphalon fill in the void. He knows the
question itself is very broad and kinda…for a lack of better
terms – dumb. From the start? The start of what? Well Devros likes
to keep questions vague cause then you might hear things that you
didn’t expect…it’s all in the ears of the listener as
to how a question sounds. With calm swirling bright eyes he gazes at the
Cephalon, awaiting a answer.(edited)
Rast:
It was now or never... Heart and breath calm he carefully and as
quietly as he could hanged down from the ceiling making sure his
equipment didn't rattle to betray his position... Before quietly
tiptoeing one foot then the second to the floor his boots making
it rather uncomfortable.
He crouched poised quickly eyeing
the kubrow 'playing' before looking around for an escape or
hiding place...
'Come On....' Rast mind raced before seeing his
salvation... A Box big enough to fit in he didn't know what was in
the box or what it's supposes purpose was but he was running out of
options.
Quickly and quietly he tiptoed to the box before
raising above him self... Thankfully It had a crack in the box that he
could see thought... Although something itched at the back of his mind
that he wasn't alone in this box... Although it was more likely that
was just his innate paranoia and the stress of the situation of focusing
on those Kubrow, The Tenno and the infected monkeys that where
somewhere...
Although he had totally forgotten about the
maggot on his back...
((OOC: Not my best post >< But hopefully gives
you enough to work with @Almighty_Jado - Kapak ))
July 9, 2018
~Something squeaked quietly from behind Rast while he was inside the
box. Turning around would reveal two of the monkeys crouched down and...
playing a game of cards??
The pair turned their heads slowly
towards Rast, their red, pupilless luminescent eyes stared at Rast, his
reflection clear as day on the moist orbs. Slowly, their vertical
running mouths began to drop open in comical surprise.~
Kapak:
“Heheh, there’s only a... few things aboard my ship
that require sunlight to grow,” he said with a sly grin.
He
stepped towards and through the holographic eye, the image shimmering
for a moment as the Nidus ducked through.
“Helminth here has
been my companion through thick and thin. He always has my back, and is
loyal till the end. So for you own safety, refrain from doing anything
that could interpreted as violent- he doesn’t read social cues
very well.”
He stirred the fluid within the toothy looking
bathtub. “It’s rather strange, isn’t it? I’d
found out rather recently that there’s a little bit of Helminth in
everyone. Sometimes he recognizes people we’ve never met before.
Sometimes he accepts the presence of certain people as if they were
friends.” He turned towards Devros. “You have a room in your
ship, don’t you? One filled with all this guck, eh?” He
smiled knowingly, “I don’t know exactly, but it seems like
Helminth here came from a common ancestor strain from long ago. Helminth
doesn’t speak much about it, but I’ve been trying my hardest
to try and find any info I can from Orokin Derelict Data
Libraries.”
He looked around. “Hey, where’d my
Engineers go? You guys seen ‘em?”
Disruptis:
“Interesting” Disruptis said, stroking his chin with one hand. He leaned over to
examine some of the fascinating flora.
“Sorry, did you just say strain?” he suddenly interjected, whirling around to face Kapak, “I thought he was a cephalon? You talk about him almost
like he’s a living being.”(edited)
July 10, 2018
Devros von Inie
The boy tilts his head as he listened to the Nidus speak, every little
his eye traveling to the right towards the pile of goodies. But after
the fleshy one spoke of that infested room aboard his Orbiter, Devros
snapped his swirling eyes towards him.
“Ah yeh! But me cephalon 'ates dat room, once
tried ter clean it up but de tendrils only ate up everythin'.
it’s sealed aff now…”
He let out a subtle pout
*Much ter me protest….”
At the question of his engineers the messy haired boy only shrugged and
glanced at the Limbo as the question fell. Valid question! Devros then
twirls his eyes back to the Nidus and the eye for the answer, not
wanting to throw one of his owns out there too to overwhelm.
Garhul
He freezes, mid play as he notices some fast movement from the corner
of his eye. The ridable kubrow lifts his head from the floor to look
down the corridor just to see a box slightly move. With a curious tilt
of his head he looks back to his play companion and will let out a low
gruff. With scurrying strides the beast approaches the box and lowers
his head to viciously sniff around it. Rast is lucky that the
infestation in the air and the apparatus on the kubrows muzzle is
interfering with his sense of smell.
Curious as ever, he will
lightly nudge the box with his horn and let out a sharp exhale though
his nose.(edited)
July 11, 2018
Rast:
Rast smiled happily he looked out of the crack. He was safe... His
brilliant plan was working perfectly! Rather thrilled with the success
of getting in the box unseen by which he meant not shot... He failed
initially to notice that he wasn't alone...
Until he
turned around thinking of how he was going to move the box... It was
then he saw the two pairs of eyes... and all his hopes and explanations
dropped...
"Arrr... Hello again..." He said giving quick wave the box was too confined to draw his rifle or
sword around. So once again he fell back to diplomacy with the attitude
that he was now in fact 'caught' they was only one thing for
it...
"Soooo are you to gents, going to deal me
in?" He said all calmly pointing towards the card game to see if he could
recognise it both hands open to be as nonthreatening as possible.
It was then he could here the heavy footsteps and breath of
a Kubrow...
'Arr typical...' The grey Excalibur
Thought sightly defeated knowing his options were well and truly spent
for the moment, and he didn't particularly wanted for this to get
violent deep within this complex and Tenno nearby... Only thing he could
do was by time and wait for the next opportunity arises...
"SO shall we?" He said all instantly making the
best of a bad situation to hopefully enjoy a game of cards... No
matter what they where playing.(edited)
@Almighty_Jado - Kapak
~The Infested creatures screamed and threw their cards at Rast before
flipping the box over, exposing all three of them. They ran down the
hall, bouncing up and down as they disappeared around the corner.~
Kapak:
"What was that?!"
Disruptis:
Disruptis’s head snapped to the direction of the sound. The
Limbo promptly shoved his query into the back of his mind as he creeped
towards the room’s entrance. He lay flat against the wall next to
the door and peered out it cautiously.
July 12, 2018
Garhul
The beast let out a surprised yelp as the box suddenly flipped
over causing the kubrow to flop backwards on his rump.
Devros von Inie
The boy’s smile shrank as he heard the all to familiar yelp
from outside the room “Garhul?” His face drained of all
collor and he quickly leaps up on his legs and pushes past Disruptis.
Usually the big lug is always near him and he forgot all about the
intruder onboard the ship…oh fek, what if he got injured?!
With
hastened steps (and a limp) he quickly and recklessly heads towards
where he heard the yelp from.
Garhul
With a shake of his head he throws out the surprise and locks
eyes on the Excalibur. His ears flatten backwards in a show of
aggression and his mouth slightly parts to let out a vicious growl. Not
that he can use his powerful jaw, but even without, standing face to
face with a companion almost as tall as a Rhino can cause multiple pants
to be shat. For now, he makes no other move apart from getting up and
lowering his posture, as if preparing for a chase.
Rast:
Rast's first reactions along with a couple of 'bad corpus
words' that where shouted in sort of panic his hands instantly
reached for his face shielding him from a volley of cards. Before he
knew it the monkeys where off and out and he was no longer hidden in the
box... "Aye Yai Yai...." He said in his natural tongue of
corpus... Things couldn't get much worse... He thought... Then
of course he heard the unmistakable growling of a large Kubrow...
The grey Excalibur groaned as he slowly turned around hands up... By
the void it was huge... Yet his discipline held or at least he tried to
give the appearance that it was. Slowly he sat back , knowing that the
game was up and not wishing to escalate this in to violence... If he
could help it.
So Rast sat back against the box calm and relaxed hands lowering on his
bent knees, although fully knowing that he could quite easily become
this Kubrow's newest chew toy but know that to show weakness at this
stage even in the face of death, would only weaken his negotiating
position. So he stilled himself maintaining an aura of control at least
with himself although to be quite honestly he was anything but relaxed
still eyeing the next opportunity to escape.
"Woa Boy... I'm know when i'm caught..."
The Excalibur said to the Kubrow... Voice calm, soul on the razor's
edge.(edited)
(( @Almighty_Jado - Kapak OWwwww This is wikked! Love to see what coems next!))
Kapak:
"Eh? This is the guy!" Kapak exclaimed as he ran into
the hall. He stopped next to Garhul, his own Charger in tow. He
didn't have any weapon in hand, but his bone-like armour plating
split open menacingly, his alveoli waving outwards as if they were the
hungry arms of a kraken. He grimaced with his teeth in a sadistic,
aggressive grin.
"You y'keak yotkuy? Jete you yet'p ty Otyipiat Piye!!?? Answer me!" Kapak lunged forward, reaching out with a
threatening palm aimed for Rast's neck. Next to the titanic Nidus,
the Charger growled, a mixture of saliva and venom dripping from its
insect-like mandibles.
July 13, 2018
Disruptis:
“Ooof,” Disruptis grunted as Devros knocked into him on his way out. The Limbo
slowly entered the hallway alongside the Nidus.
“Alright alright, let’s chill,” the Tenno assuaged. He reached out an arm into the air and extended his
fingers, gathering a hefty charge of rift energy within his palm. He
turned and made a ball-pitching motion towards one of the two nearest
exits into the upper part of the craft. A small-sized cataclysm burst
into existence, shimmering with purple aura. To finish his blockade, the
warframe lifted three fingers into the air and slid them outwards to the
right, activating stasis within the orb.
Devros von Inie
Devros approaches his companion and smiles, glad that his friend
didn’t get himself in to deep trouble and is uninjured. His
swirling dusty eyes travel to the Excalibur and he walked to stand next
to Garhul, landing a hand on his shoulder causing the behemoth to ease
up. The growl dies in Garhul’s mouth and his ears return in their
usual position and straightens up from the floor as he sees that the
unknown warframe isn’t making a run for it. Slowly stroking the
fur around the companion’s shoulder, Devros waits to see what
happens between Kapak and the intruder. No use in asking over 10
questions.(edited)
((soory man Did try to translate But my English suck to start with...
>< ))
Rast:
"Take it easy... I
know when the games up." He said coolly to none provoke best he
could...
We he wasn't going anywhere... Not with a
Stasis two Kubrow Tenno and a very intimidating warframe... Still he did
his best to remain calm he wasn't Despite what he was feeling his
training and discipline kept his heart study.
"You
speak corpus? Would you prefer to continue in that language?" The
scarred grey Excalibur replied to the armoured one first, voice was calm
professional with a hint of authority... "I don't wish to
appear rude If it excludes anyone else..." He eyed the others eye
slowly moving one to the other. Being held at the mercy of kids
wasn't the highlight of his mercenary career but he hoped he could
be excused giving that they where all Tenno...
It was
professional courtesy... To not exclude the others. Plus the more time
he brought the more likely they would make a mistake that he could
exploit... There wasn't much chance of that happening although...
"But
to answer your question... You be glad to know I don't know this
Otyipiat Piye..."(edited)
July 16, 2018
Kapak:
"Let's keep talking in a language we all get."
Kapak said, walking around the Excalibur's frozen body. "Now,
why don't you introduce yourself and what you're doing
here?" Kapak sat down across from Rast on the infestation covered
Orbiter machinery opposite to his position, beckoning his Infested
Kubrow to his side.
July 17, 2018
Disruptis:
‘Wat.’ Disruptis thought, both slightly confused and amused
at the spontaneous exchange of pleasantries. With an invisible crack of
a smile, he flicked the sleeve of his black garment, unsheathing a rakta
dark dagger. Then in the blink of an eye, he lunged forward and pressed
the blade threateningly into the intruder’s neck, ignoring
Kapak’s questioning.
“GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON I SHOULDN’T KILL YOU
RIGHT NOW!!!!” the Tenno bellowed at the max setting of his helmet’s audio
equipment.
July 18, 2018
Devros von Inie
The messy haired Tenno stayed silent next to his giant kubrow, but he
does roll his eyes when the Limbo goes berserk, a low chuckle
threatening to spew from his throat. Looks like they got the good
cop bad coop routine in check. He thought of reaching out and grabbing
his colleagues arm to ease the situation but this seemed more fun...to
let the intruder deal with it.
For now, he stays silent and
observes from behind the tall Nidus, his rust colored companion
appearing calm but his dull yellow eyes gaze at the Excalibur very
closely
Rast:
The thought prevalent thought of that things
couldn't get any worse was ever present in the grey scarred
Excalibur... Still... He has been wrong before... Frozen rather
uncomfortably he was about to respond to the tall Tenno... When he felt
the ever pleasant and familiar feel o fa blade against his throat... It
would have naturally alarming to him if he hadn't been in this
position before. Still it didn't stop him flinching from an overload
in his ear's...
"OWww Must you shout?" The
grey Excalibur complained... His ears ringing slightly. "DAaa Well
you being the lower then the other two... Wouldn't you have to clean
it up the mess?" He attempted to provoke calmly in a jokey way not
knowing at all if he was a higher member of this clan cult syndicate or
whatever it was... Rast new of course this Tenno wouldn't have to...
That probably what the Kubrow where for... Especially that infected one
Yek....
"But Really... Arrrg..." He slightly
aching in this rather awkward position... "If I was being paid to
do so I would have done it when I rather uncomfortably above you on the
ceiling..."
"Speaking of being uncomfortable
arrgg... Can you let me go for this ridiculous position ... So we can
talk face to face in a little bit more professional manner..." Rast
asked politely, doing his best to retaining his professionalism...
"Unless you feel safer, me in a stasis field like this..." He
half challenged... Although it was misguided. It would be quire easy to
judge by the grey Excalibur rather low and obsolete equipment... That he
wasn't really a threat... Notably being outnumbered with
Tenno, Kubrow and in a Ship that didn't like him...(edited)
@Almighty_Jado - Kapak (( RIght O lets see what you do next! ))
July 20, 2018
Kapak:
“For Void’s sake, Disruptis, put the weapon
away.” The Nidus sighed as rubbed his cherry red skull with his
hand.
“And release him, he can’t go anywhere. If he
tries anything he gets assaulted from all sides.”
Kapak
scratched his chin as he regarded the Excalibur. “Reckon we should
contact Bossman about this? Or perhaps not. What do you think,
guys?”
July 21, 2018
Devros von Inie
The messy haired boy shrugged his shoulders
“Oi say we first clap why 'e’s 'ere,
yer man cud be a scavenger or somethin' an' callin' Top
Noggin aboyt somethin' as silly as dat wud be a waste av
time.”
He returns his gaze back to the Excalibur and smirks. This better be
juicy!
Disruptis:
Disruptis froze in place for a moment. Then, he pivoted around to face
Kapak with his arms extended out at his sides.
“C’mon, throw me a bone here Kappa! First I
think you’re gonna play bad cop when you grab onto this guy, so I
come out playing the chill and good cop. But then all of a sudden you
decide that ‘oh hey, I’m going to play the nice now’
so I’m forced to change over to the aggressive persona to
compensate. Make up your mind!”(edited)
July 23, 2018
Rast:
A small sense of dread rolled over the Excalibur as
the messy boy gaze back at him. Not to say he wasnt right. It was just
that smirk that put Rast on edge.
"Look... I could come
back later if that helps? I've got rather free schedule at the
moment..." Rast half joked trying to inject some humour into his
current situation... If he could only keep them talking the longer he
might survive or find a way out...(edited)
@Almighty_Jado - Kapak
Kapak:
“Disruptis, ya voiddamn cuck, we’re not doing a good
slash bad cop routine!” He sighed in exhasperation. “I was
just concerned that he was a bounty hunter for Obsidian Dice. Or Smooth
Fortune. Or even.... uh, Plaguewatch. Any of the above would be bad. But
if he’s just an adventurer or some shizzle...” Kapak’s
face continued to drink in the Excalibur’s getup, his eyeless
skull seeming to stare into his very Oro. “Tell me, what’s
your name, and what are you doing here? Gimme a straightforward answer
and you’ll get out of here faster.”
July 27, 2018
((Hay slight probole over hear.... I wont have intonet for about two weeks ((Few Prorbes at home))... Its np its just keeping you lot up to date if i dont post : P ))

July 28, 2018
Devros von Inie
“An' oi, chucker yer 'av more av dees
crackers?”
Said Devros with a mouth full of food as he poked his head from behind
the Nidus, his dark and wildly unkept hair just as messy as always. The
boy is holding some of the treats the Excal disregarded from before and
he’s munching on them like a happy hamster that just found 1 week
old seeds. Looks like Garhul managed to find more of the stuff during
the conversations and brought them back to his master…which he
decided to give it a try. There is no wasting food when Devros and
Garhul are around!
Chewing, he looks towards the intruder and
waves his right hand in the air, that held the half eaten and obviously
sullied cracker to empathise his question.
August 2, 2018
Disruptis:
“Alright alright then, better have kept up the game than
lost it without knowing fortunately.” Disruptis conceded. The black and yellow Limbo withdrew into the second
corridor and leaned against the wall, making sure the Excalibur
didn’t get any funny slash-dashing ideas.
August 13, 2018
Rast:
Rast looked rather perturbed and slightly disgusted at
the messy haired boys... Eating habits... It was quite vile... Made
worse so when he talked. Rast had to runthrough the word several times
in his head , before he could translate the gurgled nonsense between the
food...
"Ummm.... Yes?... I do have more of that...
Kubrow tend to like it..." Rast initially replied to the messy
haired boy it was an honest truth it was is something edible... Although
it was not necessary his first choice of protein with its ghastly
texture, with a crunchy burnt taste. That only a Kubrow would love... Or
in Rast case when credits where running dry and he had to tighten his
combat belt...
He tried not to look upon the messy boy
eating... Finding somehow that his stomach was churning slightly at the
rather unpleasant image...
"But finish what's in your
mouth first Boy..."
Normally , he wouldn't vocalise his personal disgust at someone's eating habits... But Rast in a slightly pompous professionalism found this particularly revolting especially when he knew how long he had kept the 'crackers' in his kit....
"Arrr Thank you... Arrrg..." The grey Excalibur said
graciously as he stretched a bit slowly as to be, nonthreatening... A a
few stiff muscles cracking.
"But all right sounds fair
enough..." He said replying to the dwarfing Nekros his discipline
and professionalism the only thing that kept him from fouling himself...
"I am Rast... And for my sins i'm mercenary at your
service... If the prices is right of course..."
He replied formally like he was introducing himself to a new employer...
Although he remained seated and as none threatening as possible.
"I'm
on a simple..." He paused finger to his chin trying to think of the
correct word that would some up the job he was in that wouldn't have
him at the mercy of everyone in the room. "... You could say
i'm exploring uncharted land on behalf of my employer..." It
wasn't the whole truth but it wasn't a lie although years of
being in a corpus society has talked him well enough to hide such things
until the opportune moment. He was a professional after all... Well he
tried to be... Despite what his appearance might say about him.

Kapak:
“Your employer?” The Nidus paces, his eyeless skull
watching Rast like a cat watching its debilitated prey.
“Tell
us more... and Disruptis, contact Boss man. It’s probably a good
idea to inform him of the situation. Oh, but tell him we’re
bringing this guy to him. I don’t think Boss man would be partial
to walking through my Infested reparations.”
August 17, 2018
Rast:
"Ow wouldn't he?" The Excalibur said
curiously eyeing around the ship... Hiding from the Warframe's cold
gaze that felt liked they peered into his soul.
"You
have some control of the infected here? I thought such
experimentation of infected was highly prohibited in Lotus loyal Tenno?
Why wouldn't your 'Boss' appreciate your work?..." Rast
asked. It was a diversionary question form the one he was asked. In the
hopes of putting the conversation in another direction. Knowing all to
well that withholding the information had its risk but it was the only
card he held.(edited)
(( @Almighty_Jado - Kapak Not meaning to skip anyone just pushing the thread along. )
Devros von Inie
The violent looking boy paused his chewing to eye the Excalibur as he
talked about the treats. In all honestly, almost everything is food in
Devros’ eyes…well, anything his teeth can chunk so he
isn’t going around biting metal or wood out of some sturdy
structures just for a taste. Even a brute like him as SOME standards.
The
boy gulps his mouthful and chuckles at the intruder
“Den keep em comin' aye? An' maybe me mucker
'ere…He pauses to motion with his free palm towards his monstrous kubrow who
is watching Rast like a hawk for whatever reason “…won’t try ter go for a nibble eh?”
Of course, Devros is simply joking and Garhul isn’t some crazed
companion that is itching for a bite. But hey! Get what’s
offering, while it’s offering! That’s a moto Devros lives
by…well that and…yeah…let’s just leave it at
that. He will extend his hand towards the Excalibur for the rest of his
treats if he has any but otherwise shows mild interest in the
conversation happening
Rast:
Rast didn't mind admitting to himself that his
blood ran slight cold at the boys 'joke' and the massive Kubrow
that was unmoving. Although he kept his expression neutral hiding his
displeasure.
Letting out a small excel of breath thinking that it
was better, at least for the moment to not tempt a hungry Boy and more
importantly a Kubrow for 'nibble's'...
The Excalibur grunted slightly hand reaching back to pull out another
chunk of the 'crackling' before quickly chucking it at the boy
quickly... Trying to keep focused of the conversation...
Yet Rast made sure he had some left in his back pocket...
If only to prolong the time that he would become the next meal for the
two...
(( @Rozencratz - Devros von Inie Just for you this bit))
Disruptis:
While the other three Tenno conversed, Disruptis was busy sending a
message to Mataeru. He couldn’t seem to get an immediate hold of
him for whatever reason, so he left a message marked with high
importance.
“Hey Mataeru, we’ve got a situation here with
some possible enemy intrusion. Kappa, Defros, and I already have it
under control, but we’re bringing the crook to you so you can see
for yourse--”
Right as he was finishing the message, the Limbo’s optical HUD
was bombarded with flashing yellow symbols alarms. Upon reading them,
the Tenno could palpably notice the blood flowing through his
operator’s veins run as cold as the inner-surface of an LN2
barrel.
“UhhhHHH!” he began to raise his voice as he whirled back around to face his
fellow Remnant operatives. “You guys can handle this, right?”
(( @Shadowed One just pinging you in case you want to send an acknowledgement message))(edited)
Mataeru:
His response to to Disruptis is nearly instantaneous
"Your
transmission was cut off. mid sentence. I am on my way. If @Nor_Urzak-Muro and @TheFafalStudios - Vuko are available, I will bring them as well. It will take us several
minutesto get to your location, so make sure you have the captive locked
down. Do not take unnecessary risks."(edited)

Muro:
A second voice came over the comms, as if it had been listening all
along.
"I'm on my way to your location now. Shouldn't take
me too long to get to you. You guys having problems down there?" His question was laced some sarcasm, given who he knew was down there
at present.
August 29, 2018
Kapak:
"I'm a... doctor. I.... it's a long story. Look,
we're the ones asking the questions here!!"
Kapak slammed
his fist into his palm with conviction, followed by an awkwardly long
pause.
"Ummm..... Devros? Disruptis? Ask this guy some, uh,
questions. Or something." He shuffled awkwardly, projecting a
holographic timepiece before shuffling next to Devros and whispering to
him:
"I'm honestly not great at 'nice'
interrogations. Just torture, you know?"

Rast:
A doctor very interesting... Rast thought with a smirk,
although he was smart enough to not voice his curiosity at the apparent
Doctor less he provoke a Nekros with they solo taking powers...
He
waited politely in the long pause , knowing not to push the situation
before speaking again.
"I have plenty of time for a long
story..." Rast chuckled humorously at the situation, it wasn't
like he was going anywhere "...But Very well Doctor..." Rast
said politely with a nod, playing ball.
Head turning to the other two... "What would you have me answer?
Gentleman?" The Excalibur said coolly although his voice
couldn't help but slightly mocking the 'gentleman' part, as
he was talking to a maybe Kabbalistic boy and his Kubrow and a Nidus,
which had their own reputation which was quite self-explanatory...
(( @Rozencratz - Devros von Inie @Disruptis - Disruptis all yours! ))
Devros von Inie
Devros gives the Nidus a deep nod to his whispering words, as if
silently saying “I got chu bro!” He throws the rest of the
cracker in his gluttonous maw and gulps it down without chewing. The
messy haired boy throws a glance at his kubrow and nods. The companion
just looks at him with a “wtf?” look on his furry face, not
really understanding what he’s supposed to do.
Without
a warning, Devros lifts his left leg in the air and slams it down right
in front of the Excalibur, in between his legs to both surprise and
shock him. Devros regrets the action imidetly since his leg hasn’t
fully healed from the previous engagement but he doesn’t let the
pain show on his face. He leans in with the elbow of his left arm on top
of the semi-crouched leg, his forehead almost touching the Excals helm.
The boys expression is furrowed in to a complete stern stare as if
he’s looking at the guy that took the last egg from the fridge
– which in Devros’ world is just as bad as killing a
innocent child.
“Gran' so, luk 'ere boyo! Oi got up terday
an' made meself a tasty mayle whaich got interrupted by a certain
warmongerin' worm dat tuk a 'uge chunk av flesh aff me scotch
peg. Oi got 'ere ter git 'ealed up, not chase sum princess on
'er quest for friendship. Nigh -”
He pauses, looking over his shoulder to his dumb looking kubrow and
motion to him towards the Excal with his eyes as if saying GET IN HERE
YA DOLT!
Garhul makes this little hop as he finally gets the
idea of what his master wanted to do and he quickly scurries beside the
chief clothed Tenno, his heavy growling head dangling in front of
Rast.
"Yer said yer were a mercenary, so waaat in de
glorious noggin av 'ek ye doin' 'ere? Lookin' fer
employers or lookin' ter knuk? Or chucker yer really expect us
ter believe yer jist waltzed in 'ere for sum sight
seein'?”(edited)
He huffs out loud, leaning more in to the Excals personal space, his golden/emerald eyes bearing down on to him as if he can see Rast’s operator though his warframe. Nor Devros, nor his kubrow reel back, they just wait to hear what he has to say while they glare stone cold daggers at him(edited)
September 14, 2018
Rast:
Rast almost instantly razed his hands just to his
head open palmed in submission showing they that he had nothing in it
and he had no intention of doing anything not with this boy and
monstrously large Kubrow over him...
"Ok Ok... You had
a Bad day boyo..." His voice was calm although it it a great deal
of self-control to maintain it... Try not to eye the Kubrows teeth or to
inhale the stench of breath from them both was.... Difficult to say the
least...
"I was just a simple surveillance that all it
was... Low credits, mineral profile... They are many places on the moon
that haven't been fully explored you don't know what might lurk
in the shadows ready to pounce... This is the sort of routine
tedious boring mission that any 'higher' Tenno would
ignore..."
Rast explained calmly that was more along the lines of the truth but not
the hole... Rast had on purposely withheld his 'employer'... For
all he know it was the only real piece of information that was keeping
him alive...
"Is he friendly? Can I say hello?"
Rast nodded to the kubrow suppressing his own fear and curiosity the
best he could.
Once again Rast tried to buy time by redirecting the
conversation... A long shot to be sure.
(( @Rozencratz - Devros von Inie Hey Soorry for the latness of this was waiting to see if anyone
eles would post.))

Disruptis:
“Ohhhhh muck,” Disruptis exhaled after hearing the
message. He turned back to face the others from halfway through the
hallway’s ramp. “Kappa, I’m sorry, but I may have
accidentally summoned Mataeru to your crib. Better do a quick
tidying!”
The Limbo pulled himself by the corner of the
hallway and flung himself up the ramp. A well-placed bullet sent him
flying up the ladder leading out.
“You got
this!” He called out, disappearing out of the orbiter.
