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.”

Pulling power from their systems. And wherever they're getting it, apparently plenty to share.

*A flick of the grapple line flings a sniper down into the courtyard; if the fall doesn't kill it, Blaze surely will.*

I'm back to a full charge, up here.

*There's something to be said for the simple pleasures in life, like mopping up a thoroughly-won fight.*
onemorebounty: And I know how to use it. (Speak Softly)

Not sure if you'll want the ammo--these guns lock up on me after just a few shots.

*Samus catches the last sniper with her grapple line, draining them as quickly as she can while sending a missile their way--the energy stolen replenishes what the missile cost her, and hopefully her draining keeps it from putting up a stasis shield in time.*

Then this isn't just a fact-finding mission, it's a shopping trip. Excellent! Is there anything left of the hydra's head? Those beams it had were interesting.
onemorebounty: And I know how to use it. (Speak Softly)

[personal profile] onemorebounty 2015-09-04 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
In that case...

*She heaves the sniper's remains down into the courtyard, before going back to do the same for the rest.*

...eat up, while I have a look at that hydra.

*She follows, her landing light as a cat's, and prowls over to the hydra. She plans to dismantle the beams with care, in the hope of finding some parts she can integrate into her own weapons. She'd very much enjoy being able to fire the Vex's own weapons back at them. The catch will be finding parts that give her what she wants without giving the Vex access to her suit.*

*It's interesting, and tempting. But also dangerous--Samus remembers last time. So she'll take some precautions. Fresh attack barriers for her interface ports, and a favor asked of Blaze.*

Blaze, could you keep an eye on me? I'm about to try interfacing with this thing. If I ask for it, or do something weird, could you hit me with an EMP?
onemorebounty: Just how I roll. (Roll)

[personal profile] onemorebounty 2015-09-05 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
*She nods.*

Moving jerkily, shooting at you, anything that makes it seem like I've been subverted. I don't want the Vex getting in here with me.

*Since Blaze looks ready, and Samus' defenses are as prepared as they can be, she makes contact with the downed Hydra.*
onemorebounty: (Default)

Void Beam acquired! (Press A for details.)

[personal profile] onemorebounty 2015-09-06 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
*Samus recognizes the problem, and after scrutinizing the subroutines decides not to risk copying any of them over. That doesn't mean, however, that she doesn't have plans for salvage. She finds the configuration file for the nasty beam the hydra had used on her. Rather than transcribing the perilous files, she reads the configuration settings relevant for the setting she wants and the parts she'll be taking, copying those into a new configuration for her suit's systems. She can supply her own exotic matter.*

*Samus is being quite careful in that regard--each component she takes is sterilized, both digitally and literally. Blaze's vocalization does catch a bit of her attention, however.*

What is it?
onemorebounty: (Elegance)

It very much is. Like something out of "Baby Samus: the Littlest Hunter"

[personal profile] onemorebounty 2015-09-06 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Airborne, on the ground?

*Samus glances up from her work, cycling her visor through a variety of wavelengths.*
onemorebounty: The last sight you'll see. (Glare)

Sure. Write to Nintendo and demand some love for their most-abused franchise.

[personal profile] onemorebounty 2015-09-07 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
I've seen some therm-optic cloaks, yeah. This one's new.

*Still, Samus is a hunter--patient, and attentive to detail. When she's spotted the likely culprit, she takes aim and gives her new void beam a test-shot.*
onemorebounty: Casting a long shadow. (Dangerous)

It's nice to be able to use one's degree.

[personal profile] onemorebounty 2015-09-07 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

*Samus gives a fiercely pleased smile inside her helmet; some of it is audible in her voice.*

It's given them something to think about, at least. Let's see about getting the door open, and park the pikes inside. I've got an idea about securing our exit.
onemorebounty: Casting a long shadow. (Dangerous)

[personal profile] onemorebounty 2015-09-08 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
The more fools, they.

*Samus, too, is retrieving her pike, coaxing it through the debris of battle with care.*

I propose we leave a remote charge on the pikes, to secure our exit. When we're ready to leave, we blow the charge and everything goes up with it; the fuel, the mines, all of it.
onemorebounty: Casting a long shadow. (Dangerous)

[personal profile] onemorebounty 2015-09-08 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Transmat?

*Samus pats her arm cannon fondly.*

I've got micro-factories in here. They can quick-build missiles, or a few other things I've got the specs for, including remote demo charges.
