I too would be very glad if Nisha was posted as well.
Aegia's ready to snap a bird lady in two... All in good fun of course c:
-
On their last meeting, Souna proved that she could very well look down upon someone larger than her - namely, Aegia. This time it is the opposite: Even before Aegia stood up, Souna did not show any contempt or condescension, regardless of her look's direction. Maybe her hobby is acting?"Oh, you seem to be quite alike in some things to me, so I think you could be great friends." she answers, completely honest. Their happy, not-really-serious attitude is something they share, as far as Souna can tell.As Aegia continued about the station's facilities, Souna is quite amused that they would have met sooner or later anyways. However, she is somewhat concerned about Aegia's helmet. She had rather expected her to close it when seeing her, instead of opening up. Probably she'll expect Souna to do the same. And she does certainly not feel like doing that while still out in the open hallways of the public."Even if the simulations were the real deal, Grineer are only Grineer. Like ants, their strength is mass alone." The bad treatment she gave Aegia earlier was a lover's kiss compared to her feelings that fill her voice now. To her, the Grineer are the dust beneath her feet. Stinky, slimey mud, to be more precise. And she does not hide that a single bit. Although she adds after a second thought: "Talking about the empire, of course. It would be highly unjust to judge civilians and militia by the same measure.""Incidentally, I were indeed heading towards the very same facilities. After such a turmoil, I do not want to irritate people by jogging about the place round and round, but I direly crave my daily pensum of sport. So there was little else to do than the very same you just described."Thanks to her helmet still covering her face, there is no need for Souna to hide the anticipating grin on her lips. She was being invited to demonstrate what was the difference in their dedication, mindset and mental strength. Their qualities as a Tenno. She could not have wished for more."As do I agree with you that there is no better guide to unlock our inner potential than another Tenno's fist. I gladly accept your offer of a sparring match."
Aegia simply chuckled, a wide smile on her face. "I can be friends with anyone, Souna. It's up to them if they reciprocate or not." Of course, Aegia wasn't about to go befriending any Infested, that'd just be silly. The She-Rhino was a bit confused as to why Souna wouldn't remove her helmet, especially during a time of relative peace like this. Plus, Aegia liked looking into someone's eyes when she spoke to them, better at forming connections that way. Staring into a helmet? Not so much. "I'm sure we could also find things in common with each other as well."
At Souna's comment at the Grineer, she can only nod and agree. "You've got a point there. They're not nearly as fun to fight as another Tenno." Aegia broke into a wide grin. "So many ways they fight, it's rather fun to see what they bring to the table." She tilts her neck to either side, popping it gently. It seemed as if every fiber of her being was very nearly bursting at the seams with energy... Metaphorically. No actual energy was involved, or the lines on her face would be glowing much brighter. Like a spring coiled tightly in on itself.
At Souna's mentioning of accepting her offer of a sparring match, Aegia was practically giddy with excitement. Though she hadn't actually challenged Souna, she would have when they arrived. She was glad they were thinking on more or less the same wavelength. "For me, sparring is a big part of me getting to know someone and bonding with them. When you see how someone else fights when everything is stripped away: weapons, Warframes, abilities, I think it shows a deeper side of that person, past just the way they fight. Like it's a part of their personality that at that moment, only I'm the one getting to know as intimately as they do." She looked back at the Zephyr before her. "You ever feel that way?"
-
-scoop-When outside the door, she is looking right and left for a terminal to access the station's map. Instead she finds Aegia sitting on the floor nearby, Nisha's Specter in front of her. Knowing this is not a real girl faces her view of the young Tenno a lot. Usually, she only thinks of specters as tools, similar to the Cephalons which often control them. This one is emulating a Tenno. Her memories will be lost as soon as its internal timer runs out - so what does it matter how she treats her? However, another thought has risen: Maybe, she was meant as a test for Gaius. And, unforeseen, for Souna as well should there be any way of reporting back to their clan. It is best to exercise caution and not think of the mechanical insides behind that innocent face."Oh, it's you two." Her surprise is genuine, just a little delayed. "Are you getting along well?"
It's the clinking against the metal floor that gives away Souna's presence before her voice does. Of course, it was a voice that the Rhino immediately recognized. She turned her head to look at the Zephyr and nodded, standing up as the rest of her helmet segments in on itself and recedes into the back of the collar of her Warframe with some barely audible metal clinking, leaving her hair to flow freely, if it weren't already pinned and curl twisted back to keep it out of the way.
"Mhm, Nisha and I here were just having a little chat, and I was just about to go see if Nisha here was right about the Waystation's dueling and simulation rooms... And the foundry too, if it's as close to them as she says." Aegia stretched out, locking her fingers together and bringing her arms up and outstretched above her. "I needed to relieve a little stress, so I was going to see if the Grineer simulations were up to snuff." She huffed softly through her nose. "Though they are only simulations, unfortunately. So I was probably going to see if there were any other Tenno on the way there that didn't mind a little spar with yours truly."
Opening her eyes once more from her little stretching session, she tilted her head slightly to look at the prim and proper Tenno in front of her. "Would you like to come with? Surely it'll be more exciting than whatever you were going to go do before... No offense." Her hands returned to their usual resting position: Left hand on her slightly cocked hip, and her right hand hovering slightly over the grip of her Pyrana on her right thigh.
-
Oh that's easy, for Aegia, it's "caring"
-
Glad to have you with us again Irish!
-
-WOPAH-
"Yeah, you got me; I'm not here of my own volition. Well, I'm not technically here at all, but you get the idea," the specter girl confessed, placing her palms down on the section of floor at the center of her crossed legs, "My home Dojo regularly sends volunteers here, and today just so happened to be the day I was assigned to come here along with one of our Warlords-"
Before she continued, she quickly spun her head about, making sure the Tenno in question was out of range before leaning in close to Aegia in order to whisper to her her poorly hidden secret, "Between you and me, he really is the last person I want to be alone with. He's always getting onto me, and half the time I don't deserve it."
She sat back, resuming her previous, seated position, rubbing the back of her head casually as she continued, "As for the others, I really don't have an excuse for them. The people here are usually real laid back. They let me get away with a lot of stupid stuff." Her smile remained, but her shoulders drooped as she admitted, "I'm not nearly as coordinated in public as I am on the battlefield."
Nisha's Echo then perked up a bit as she remembered that she wanted to correct Aegia on something. "Oh! We have a dueling room! It's over there," she pointed over her shoulder with her thumb, motioning to the exercise area, "We even have a simulation chamber and a foundry."
Aegia let out another giggle, louder this time, more in tune with her usual demeanor. " Hah, you and me both. If I had it my way, I'd have already been out of here an hour ago. But... Unfortunately a glorified shiny tesla coil decided that it was time to lockdown the whole place, and now all the engineers in the hangar are busy working on those crazy ships that came in." She laid her head back on the wall with a soft thunk, it neatly fitting in the head shaped dent from earlier. "Even if they weren't, and they did get my ship all fixed up, I wouldn't be able to leave anyways thanks to the stupid lockdown."
As the young specter leaned in close, Aegia couldn't help but snicker at her statement. "Ahh, come now, he can't be as bad as you say... Or maybe he can if he's anything like the bird lady in there." She emphasized by pointing her thumb over her shoulder to the medbay. One could only wonder who she was referring to. "Can some Tenno just not comprehend the concept of 'downtime'? You know, that time where no one is trying to kill us and we can finally relax a little?" She raised both hands up in a mock surrender gesture. "But noooo~ You accidentally tackle an Ash, do a little playful flirting and suddenly I'm recklessly endangering others."
Aegia sighed, though noticeably brightened and perked up at the mention of the fact that there was indeed dueling and simulation rooms. Though she was more excited about the prospect of being able to duel her fellow Tenno. It'd been quite a while since she'd done so. "Well, that's quite the good news. I could think of a few people that I wouldn't mind giving safe, Waystation sanctioned hurt to." She was giddy just thinking about the prospect of it.
-
-Why you gotta be so cruel house?-
Whoops! My bad about the helmet deal, and thanks for being flexible! :3
The look of concern on the Specter's face transitioned to a warm and infectious smile, pleased that she had been successful in stirring the troubled woman from her troubled thoughts.
"Name's Nisha! Friends call me Nish, Ishi, Ni-ni, or pretty much any form of 'Nisha' you can come up with," she answered in a jovial tone, trying to see if she could get her cheery attitude to infect Aegia and raise her spirits.
She extended her small hand towards the large woman in front of her, tilting her head to the side as she intensified her smile, but not to a creepy degree. "Oh, and sorry, but you're still here," she added with a small, innocent shrug of her shoulders.
Aegia let out a soft sigh, her heartbeat starting to calm down into what would be considered normal for a Tenno like her, it no longer pounding and aching within her chest as she sat leaned against the wall. Most of the color once drained from her face had returned, and the soft lines upon her face pulsed warmly with their golden energy like normal once again. Aegia cracked a small smile at the specter in front of her and extended her own hand to meet hers, giving it her usual firm, yet feminine handshake.
"A pleasure to meet you Nisha. Sorry to disappoint you, but my name's not Olga, nor is it Helga. My name is Aegia. Carries about the same weight as those other two names though." She giggled softly and took a glance at the familiar surroundings of the Waystation she'd been forced into a prolonged stay at. "Guess that lockdown is still going on then."
A moment of silence fell over the two Tenno, just for a brief moment as Aegia contemplated a question or two for the cheerful Tenno's echo in front of her. "So, are you here with anyone? It just seems strange to me that you'd be projecting a specter here of all places... Not exactly the funnest place to be if you ask me." If that weren't the understatement of the century. "You've got Tenno with sticks so far up their asses you'd figure their weapon of choice was a Bo; drunk, angry Grineer that you can't even join them in on the drunk part, because there's no bar around here..." She tapped her chin for a moment. "And as far as I'm aware, there's no dueling rooms around here to even remotely start relieving stress through, at least not that I've seen." She finished off her mini-rant with a frustrated sigh. "Why'd my ship have to need repairs near the most boring Waystation in the Origin System."
(Yes, I am indeed aware those rooms and such exist on the station. Aegia does not.)
-
Well I mean, what else did you expect from a Rhino?But Aegia is damn muscular, like really. Oh, well. Worse for grineer. :)

What last spoiler? :PTo the last spoiler
Starnsy, please do not make me actively try to get the smooth jazz with Hexer. It only works with my friends, if they permit it, and it involves time-skips for everyone involved and far too much duct tape.
I DON'T WANT TO WASTE ANY MORE DUCT TAPE. I ALMOST KILLED EVERYONE BECAUSE OF IT.
Also, if my wording was confusing, I wasn't referring to Hexer with the phrase "lucky bastard" even if he IS the luckiest human in the system.
I'm sure you know what I mean, right?

She so pretty
She a Q=T.
Who drew it?
You think she's pretty there just take a look at that second one.

Get this posted somewhere else, and you've got yourself a writer.

I promised there was a second pic on the way.
You have been warned
Brace for sexy

A good friend of mine.
There's actually another pic of Aegia on the way.

You've met Aegia before. Now, feast your eyes upon a lovingly crafted artistic rendition of the She-Rhino.
Go on, don't be shy.
She doesn't bite hard.

-guillotine-
Nisha, even if she was a Specter, wasn't really built for heavy lifting, and with most of the work in the Med Bay requiring strong individuals who could move heavy equipment, she came to the belief that her use had reached its end. The decision wasn't all that hard to make in all honesty, especially with the annoying lady trying to look cool.
Casually walking out of the bay with an awkward gait, it was hard to ignore the shiny lady sitting against the doors to the Med Bay. "Wasn't she the lady who was trying to talk to the angry lady? Hmm... Would it be believable if she said she hadn't noticed her?"
The woman slammed her head against the wall behind her.
"Ugh... Not anymore. Damn you, Mag! Why'd you have to teach me to be nice?"
And so the Echo of a young, spoiled, but undeniably adorable Nova sat cross-legged in front of the woman who was clearly distressed. Facial muscles contorted in agony, fearful murmuring, clenched fingers. She was having a nightmare. She was a Tenno, most likely PTSD or some other emotional or mental trauma.
Nisha's echo announced her presence with a soft clearing of her throat, meant to fish the woman out of her darkness and back into reality.
"Hello~? Rhino-lady-who-I-kinda-want-to-call-Helga? Or maybe Olga?" she shook her digital head, "But that's not the reason I'm here~ Can you come back to the waystation, pwease?" She slowly waved her hands as she said this in her sing-song tone, trying to visually coax Aegia as well as audibly from her vision.
Aegia's eyes had been closed tightly shut the entire time. How long had she been sitting here? The dull, low pitched ringing was slowly ebbing away within her helmet. Though, the front plate only had segmented into itself and slid into the back part, leaving her ears and the back of her head covered, but her face visible to the waystation, and coincidentally, the Tenno specter in front of her. The one clearing her throat, that would bring the barriers of white noise flowing down, into some recesses of the Rhino's mind to later torment her when the situation presented itself.
"...Huh?" Aegia finally opened her eyes, them taking a moment to adjust to the sudden shift from darkness to the light inside the station. She took a look to either side of her, making sure she hadn't done anything else while... Elsewhere.
She rubbed one of her hands agaisnt the side of her head, trying to massage away the lingering headache caused by her own actions. Finally she would meet eyes with the Nova specter, a quizzical expression across her own features. "Ah... Who are you?" She pointed to the ground in front of her. "We're... Still at Donn Waystation, correct?" She had to ask, even though as unlikely as it would have been for the She-Rhino to make it free of the lockdown, she couldn't discount any action she took that she didn't remember. Aegia however, had looked like she had gone for days without sleep, eyes bloodshot and face pale, though color was returning to it, albeit quite slowly.

The word "host" is usually never associated with a positive connotation.
SPACE YOU MADMAN WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING.

Please feel free to come speak to the She-Rhino sitting outside of the medbay doors c:
Also, massive backstory dump warning.
-
Sitting just outside the medbay doors was an Iron Skin clad Rhino. She sat there, sitting on the floor, back against the wall, slumped over as she rested her elbows on her bent knees, staring at the ground as her hands rested lightly upon the back of her head. She sat there unmoving, the commotion inside the medical bay going unknown to her. In fact, the same static from before had returned. This time however, it was duller, more muffled now. There was the white noise, the static... Always accompanied by a ringing sound, almost akin to tinnitus after an explosion, but lingered much longer. Nothing penetrated to roiling mass of thoughts that was her mind in a state such as this, and if a Nyx were to try and reach into her mind to see what was held within, they would hear and see nothing but that same white noise, like staring at an Old World television in the pitch darkness. Yet it still encompassed all parts of her mind, drowning out all outside stimuli and leaving her alone with her thoughts.
Aegia did not want to be alone with her thoughts...
"...Rho-...-at?"
A stirring from within, a twitch.
A heartbeat.
"..a Tenno! O... Sektor Chee For..."
What was this feeling... Cold?
I know what cold is?
Where am I?
"Knddy kne kf klem. Hddvizwe?"
Am I dead?
"Undtarrstud. Fluuld kryopahd. Trey rum Kwuim."
These voices... What were they saying?
Who are they? Figures through this glass...
Wetness?
Why am I wet?
Aegia's mind once again retreated into its ringing, static shell, fishing out more and more that she had repressed.
'Why? Why now?'
A cold, mechanical voice rang through the empty halls of the dojo.
"Room fabrication complete. Identification Number: R-234. Classification: H2O. Pool Area."
She perked up, looking around. "Oh, thank you for the update, Saris..." She knew she would get no answer. Saris was no Cephalon. In fact, it didn't even have a name. Aegia had given it that name herself.
A lot of things in her dojo had been named.
None of them ever spoke back.
Sighing softly, the She-Rhino would stand from her perch in the Observatory, and begin making her way towards the newly added room, currently pulsing a dull blue to indicate it's status as recently added. This was one of the only times she was glad she was alone. Her heart was racing, and her palms felt clammy. Her face was pale, and she felt sick to her stomach the closer she got to the room.
"Hopefully it would liven the place up the bit with more recreation... I could make some friends easily with them here."
Only the resounding hiss of the door opening and the cold air hitting her face would break her from the mental psyching up she was doing to herself in her head. It had been 2 years. Surely, there was no better time than with her discovery of the planet Uranus, to undertake such a task.
The door hissed shut behind her, sealing her inside the large room, lit only dimly by the flashes of an ion storm in a nebula outside the viewport. Her bare feet barely made a sound upon the cold metal that simulated the porcelain tiles surrounding the large body of water.
Was this what dead silence was like? Only hearing the sound of one's own breathing?
The surface of the water was still, placid. Neatly mirroring the world in which Aegia stood.
She would not be standing in it much longer.
One single misstep was all it took for her to be sent into the icy depths of the pool she had so lovingly been building. A strangled cry being swallowed by water.
Unfortunately, only the beginning of the second longest night of Aegia's life.
Soon she would try to free herself from the watery clutches she found herself in, only to be stopped by the malfunctioning cover of the pool, trapping her inside.
Aegia shook her head vigorously, trying to clear her head of these memories. Anyone close enough could hear her whisperign under her helmet to herself. "Not these. Not these. Not these. Not now. No no no no. No. No more."
"Where are you... My little lightning bug?"
Aegia would immediately slam the back of her helmeted head against the wall behind her, the resulting headache that pounded against her skull, combined with the ringing of the metal inside her helmet was enough to force those thoughts away from her mind, the static receding, if only slightly. She did not want to be alone with her thoughts.
... She did not want to be alone.

Alright Space, then I'll just keep on keepin' on.
Gonna make some changes to my original post and type something up right now.
-
Ahhh hell Space, I'm sorry.
I've been trying to keep my amount and length of posts in line with others.
I'll tone down my posting speed
-
And marking the time at 6:33AM, that's me all finished reading and caught up with the whole IC.
Temp, I await your approval to make my first post. But until then, I'm gonna get some sleep.
-
That does suck, you have my condolences. But, this S#&$ tends to happen in big threads like this. Best to go with the good old "F*** it" adjustment and press on.
Yeah, no use getting mad over it at this point. I'll post sometime soon.
-
Eh, I'll just say it ended and work from there.
Easy for you to say, mine was directly interacting with his character.
Suffice to say my entire post is now void.

Uhm, DK, Sebastian used a Bastille, and everyone in the room is suspended, including Volun and the doctor.
It doesn't matter, apparently he's not even unconscious even though the first post he made regarding it said Volun was out cold, making yours, Souna, and my posts irrelevant.
Unfortunately, he and batman have both posted numerous times since then and it'd be easier to fix ours, rather than see them actually accommodate ours, you know:
