They land in a clearing on the city outskirts with grass under their boots and a heavy overcast above. The breeze that greets them is hot and humid, a little acidic. Around them is a densely-grown treeline, with broad leaves that are near-luminescent shades of green. Their rustle is echoed by the distant wash of waves from beyond the ruins.

Blaze turns to scan the area, hopeful of opposition even though her Ghost already checked the site. The broken towers and city blocks are quiet within the overgrowth. But then it’s not the human ruins which really stand out. To the north a massive volcano takes up much of the sky, belching out a noxious plume of ash and gas. Small wonder that each shift in the breeze makes the scent of the air waver between sulfurous and salty. Over the hills to both south and east loom dark geometric structures. Look at them with anything other than the optical spectrum, and they emit some very peculiar readings.

“At last,” the Exo remarks, feeling a thrill that doesn’t break her readiness. Her head’s turned up to check the skyline as she speaks. Then she's moving for the buildings. “We’re in Guardian territory, more or less. Doesn’t stretch too far yet. Won’t take long to find some trouble.”

*Samus had used the ride to check over her suit systems out of habit, and to familiarize herself somewhat with the operation of the craft (over Blaze's shoulder). On the ground, she scans their surroundings in several senses of the word, arm-cannon up and ready.*

Good. Think they saw us coming?

*Those strange buildings are too far away for a proper scan, just yet, but she's certainly interested. She nods in their direction*

Those look interesting.

*In her helmet, Samus grins to herself a little, while her suit patches in to Blaze's comm line--the better to keep in touch if they're separated, or to talk while doing something loud.*

So, how fast can you run in those new boots?

Favors, mostly.

*Samus, too, is ready to run; with her suit's speed-enhancing subsystems, she's ready to break the sound barrier.*

*Samus springs after. While normally agility is her forte, her suit has its share of brute-force tricks as well. Angled differently, the jump-assist jets hasten her steps (and her speed, in general), while the field effectors catch plasma from the edges of the thrust cones, building it into a protective/destructive cloud. Anything unfortunate enough to be in her path has a hole burned in it; the sturdy things last long enough to be plowed apart by two hundred fifty pounds of armored space-Amazon.*

*She does make certain her path doesn't intersect Blaze, as she has no desire to lose a friend.*

onemorebounty: I carry so many regrets. (Regret)
From: [personal profile] onemorebounty
*Even blowing through it at ludicrous speed, Samus takes note of the scenery--the ruined architecture in particular. Her voice crackles a little, over the commlink (probably a little EM interference from the cloud of nuclear fire she's swaddled around herself).*

This place must have been beautiful, once. I'm guessing not all of the residents got out before that changed?

Shinespark, HO!

One of my suit's systems. Well, one of the ways several systems work together. I'm using my weapon's plasma core to feed my jump jets, which help me run faster, and my ablative fields catch the waste plasma and turn it into a shield and build me a low-pressure bubble to move in. If I have to stop, my intakes can pull most of the waste plasma back in and overcharge the jets for one strong jump.

*Or, as the game manuals like to call it, a Shinespark. Normally, Samus would be cagey about her people's tech and her suit's abilities, but she can see what Blaze is fighting. If she inspires a weapon or two against this, she won't regret it.*

My people had some strong ideas about what a lone warrior should be capable of.

*They're notes worth taking. And worth considering, although they might not know it, is that Samus started with a basic power suit, and has added upgrades piecemeal as she finds them. In the time when the Chozo actually needed armies, every last Warrior had such armor, and the upgrades in which they had learned to be proficient. Multiply Samus by ten, a hundred, a thousand, and you begin to imagine what the Chozo could bring to a fight--and, perhaps, why they have not needed to for so long that the modern galaxy considers them pacifists.*

It's complicated. The simple explanation is that they needed to do things outside conventional space, and their living corporeal forms weren't up to the job, so they had to leave those behind. I wasn't ready to go, so I stayed with the living.

You alright back there?

*It is, indeed, quite a thing to hear, or to say. And that's the simple explanation.*

onemorebounty: The last sight you'll see. (Glare)
From: [personal profile] onemorebounty
The people who killed my family were still out there. A whole organization built on taking what they could from anyone they caught in a moment of weakness. I needed revenge.

*Occasionally, Samus comes upon an obstacle that she can't simply mow through--for those, she makes quick detours, still scorching her surroundings.*

It's a big organization. I've killed plenty, and taught them to fear me, but they're still going. So I'm not done.

From: [personal profile] onemorebounty
The same. I'm either going to end them, or myself in trying.

*When Samus bursts from cover, she's bound to draw attention; like a low-flying shooting star, streaking through the scrubland. She tries again to scan the fortress ahead, hoping they might be close enough by now for her visor to pick up on something.*

If it's not some variation of, "what is that thing coming at us," or "the sensors must be broken," I'm going to have to revise my opinion of them downward.

Date: 2015-07-30 04:06 pm (UTC)
onemorebounty: And I know how to use it. (Speak Softly)
From: [personal profile] onemorebounty
"Engage with prejudice" is the order of the day?

*That sits just fine with Samus; she uses the drop ahead as a jumping-off point, sending herself on a high arc, twisting in midair to bring her arm cannon to bear against the targets. Beams of plasma lance down toward these first encounters, even as she sets her visor to scanning one.*

If the citadel sent these out to see what we're capable of, they're going to get a show.

*That third one may have evaded Samus' initial burst of plasma fire, but as she arcs toward a landing, she gets a signal lock and sends a missile its way.*

I'll be certain to keep a few tricks in reserve, then.

*Since they're employing vehicle-mounted weapons that don't tilt up very effectively, Samus leaps after her missile, keeping the advantage of altitude whenever possible.*

Am I seeing joints for amputated limbs on these things?

From: [personal profile] onemorebounty
I'll admit, I respect anyone who can do their job while they're short a couple limbs.

*Samus' arm cannon changes configuration, shortening and widening, the red-glowing seams closing and the seams that open shedding a faint purple. She levels the weapon at the remaining dreg, and fires off a shot. The shot takes the form of three motes of light oscillating through a common central line, along which they are radially equidistantly spaced--the wave beam. It doesn't hit hard, but the strong electrical charge it carries tends to make its targets seize up for a moment. More to the point, the motes track on their target, following even if the creature has some bright idea of jumping aside at the last moment.*

Of course, that doesn't include these three...
