Near the Northern end of the planet Mars, the land was frozen and covered in snow. Large, jagged mountains dotted the land. The wind was fierce enough to knock a Titan down on his back. It was here where the Cabal chose to build a research base, something they weren't known for. They were looking into the massive gates that the Vex use, hoping to find a connection between the numberless legion of the Vex and how they are able to move so quickly.
There was only one entrance, and it was heavily guarded. A usual twelve person guard stood watch over the gate, and on special occasions, a tank. Today was one of those special occasions, and security was increased dramatically. The Cabal were on the verge of a major discovery. Too bad they didn't live to see it.
The front gate had been smashed through, the twelve guards all lay dead. The battle scene was ugly, with open flames and smoke everywhere, and the Cabal guards weren't killed conventionally. Some of them were ripped apart.
Further into the base wasn't much better. The bodies of security guards and personnel were everywhere. The place looked like it had been sieged and completely destroyed.
Somewhere, deep inside the base, a single Guardian was standing next to a terminal, interfacing with it. At least, the person looked like a Guardian. But Guardians don't make such a mess. It was Lake.
He had come through the base, killed everyone inside, and was taking any information useful to him. The Darkness in him swirled like a maelstrom, and his eyes were set on one goal, and one goal only.

The Arcadia's engines roar to life, rather noisily, as Ginger activates the slipspace drive, "Sounds like a plan Ro. I probably need a shower too."
-
[i] Ro knocks off the jesters thrusters once she breaks orbit, starting to cycle the warp drive until she gets the signal and it lurches into the slipstream. Moments later earth comes into view and she cycles the warp core down again . Flipping the comms:[/i] " Am I still with you Ginger?"
-
A few seconds later, the jumpship comes out of slipspace to a jarring halt. Ginger can be heard cursing faintly before he replies, "Damn ship. Yeah, I'm with you. Wanna check in at the Tower, or do you have somewhere else in mind?"
-
[i]She starts up the jesters thrusters,[/i] " If you need rations or parts I suggest the tower if not I would rather go home, got a place, but its on the edge of the deadzone so there isnt anything else,"
-
His ship angles slightly to adjust to your path, "Nah, this piece of shit will probably last the journey there. Your place sounds cozy, let's give that a try."
-
" Ok, just follow me in , and dont shoot the locals i have a working agreement with the Eliskni here."
-
"Cool just follow me in ,oh a3d ,dont shoot any of the local Elinski, I hav a working relationship with them."r [i]She pulls Jester into å hard lelft bank and . into steep decline, after å couple of minutes She activates the autopilot,.then dematerialises, reappearing on the surface[/i]
-
Ginger dematerializes in a flurry of light soon after, and grudgingly puts his gun away at the mention of friendly Eliksni. "Alright, I trust you. Where to now?"
-
[i] she nods behind him, there sits the bottom section of an unfinished colony ship, the door however sat 15' in the air.[/i] " Just a minute " [i] Ro walks toward the ship , turning into a vapour she finds a shadow melting into it she disappears , the door swings open and a platform drops to about 6' from the floor .[/i] "You should manage that yeah?" [i]Ro reappears in her usual form.[/i]
-
He looks up at the doorway, the top of his head peaking just over the ledge. He kicks off of the ledge, and then uses a boost to thrust him over the outcropping and into the doorway, "I suppose so. Nice place you've got here Ro."
-
[i]wait til you see the inside, me and the Eliksni did most of it. As he enters he see's a floor has been laid half way up inside the massive circular construct[/i][i] so the area appeared as a large dome to the left was the den three worn but clean sofas sat with a makeshift coffee table. On the right near the front weapons and storage , back right a makeshift galley,[/i] R " there is a shower and beds up the back" [i]as she pulls the ramp up and closes the door[/i] R " give me a second I will start the generator and you can have a hot shower, what do you want to drink , I have real vodka but the scotch and tequila is synthetic, will still knock you sideways tho"
-
[i]Wow...[/i] Ginger looks around, clearly impressed by the dwelling. Internally he thinks about how much more comfortable this place is than his bunk in the Tower, especially because it had its own selection of drinks. He had been sober for way too long... "Thank you, Vodka sounds great. Oh, but you should probably take a shower before me; ladies first, after all."
-
[i]She grins running her hand through her cropped hair sand still shaking loose.[/i] " yeah not to mention I need it more than you, zen lose my armour. [i] the sound of dematerialisation is interrupted[/i] " ....... Just the god damn armour for Christ sake, company!" [i]Zen appears as Ro walks away shaking her head, zipping over to Ginger [/i] " my apologies, habit" [i]he disappears [/i] [i] After about 15 min Ro pads back through in a hoody and shorts, drying her hair which turns out to be almost white. She pours a couple of drinks puts them on the coffee table and collapses on a sofa [/i] " dry towels in there" [i]she points to where she just came from.[/i]
-
He nods, and says thanks before grabbing the towel and walking upstairs. There, he looks around the bathroom to start running the water, and after a peevish look for any peepholes, begins transmatting his clothes off of him. The shower would be nice and warm, hopefully.
-
[spoiler]lmao What do u take her for[/spoiler] The shower turns out to be a wet room, an à very secure one at that. The water is good and hot. Towels clean and soft.
-
[i]Ahh... That felt good.[/i] A few minutes later, Ginger walked out of the bathroom in civilian clothing. He looked basically the same, with black hair and tanned skin, but he was visibly far more relaxed than he was earlier. He walks over to pick up his drink, and then sits next to Ro, "That was a good shower. Enjoying your drink?"
-
[i] Ro is slouched back on the sofa facing into the room ,feet on the table , already coming to the end of her drink[/i][i]holding up her glass [/i] R "always, how was your shower?"
-
[spoiler]Ugh I swear that I replied...[/spoiler] Ginger gulps down his drink with practiced ease, and then makes a little face when it's stronger than he expects, "Much better than that Tower crap, that's for sure. My shower was great, thanks. So, how did you move in here?"
-
Edited by ChancingIt13: 12/28/2015 12:16:45 AM"Dunno,i was found out here about à year ago living with the housless fallen, apparently i had been missing for 2 years" [i]she pours them both another drink.[/i]
-
He takes the drink eagerly and sips from it, "Interesting. I live in the Tower barracks, floor 103 Section B; a small, boring place. Thanks for the refill, by the way."
-
" hey don't knock it , it's warm , dry clean and there is always company, just because I 'm a scruffy , antisocial btch who wld rather live in a giant' tin can.
-
"I suppose... But it doesn't have the same amount of character, if you know what I'm saying. It's just a square room, with a bunk and a few pieces of armor strewn about, nothing more."
-
" I get what your saying , whatever else it is this is home, it's hard to personalise those shoe boxes. I suppose it's to keep you out in the field, " [i]She refills her glass and motions the bottle to him for when he's done , she sighs and leans her head back looking at the ceiling.[/i]
-
"Oh, thanks." He leans over to get his drink filled, "So hey, if you're a guardian, then how were you revived?"
-
" Originally,? Zen found me under the corpse of a Fallen captain , from what Zen says it looked like it was trying to protect me rather than harm me. I guess that's why I came back here, I'm looking for the story behind that."
