The old, damaged main gate of the cabal stronghold designated 'Thuros' on Phobos slowly creaked open, the sound of electrical short circuits filling the air while a few sparks rained down from the ceiling above. In the doorway, the shadowed silhouette of a guardian stood as the gate parted, his ghosts flashlight shining brightly into the stronghold. Slowly, the Guardian stepped forward and into Thuros, his head turning slowly side to side as his eyes and electronic sensors scanned the interior of the main entrance. "I really don't see why Ikora insisted that we investigate this abandoned cabal stronghold." Vector 6, the guardian's ghost piped up through the speaker inside of his helmet. "It hasn't shown any activity since the initial taken raids when Oryx first entered the solar system... What do you think, Axel?" At this the Guardian's head turned to look at the ghost floating to his left, and then his strong tenor voice sounded as he replied, "Ikora has never lead the warlocks astray before, and she wouldn't start now, Vector. More importantly, she seemed anxious when she gave us this mission, as though something was troubling her." "Do you suppose she's been having the visions again?" ".....I don't really know. But anything that bodes ill for ikora rey bodes ill for us all." Axel replied shortly. Just then, the loud noise of a piece of stray metal sliding across the ground echoed through the stronghold and Axel immediately drew his hawkmoon from its holster, aiming it further into the stronghold suspiciously. "What was that?" Vector asked quietly. "I don't know, but I'm willing to bet we'll find out sooner or later.... C'mon, we need to get to that database before whatever made that noise finds out what we're after." "Shouldn't we wait for our backup?" "We've waited long enough, something may have happened and now our presence is known." Axel replied curtly That said, axel and vector began making their way further into the stronghold, not knowing what awaited them deeper within. ((Open to anyone))
