Adalynn looked at the warm display of her fellow crewmates to the Grineer gunner.

 

'Looks like not everyone is evil in the wastes.' She thought to herself.

 

She offered a small battle of water and a MRE. She had a small stockpile of these in her bag. While it is was a day of food she could have kept to herself, she wanted to be a bit generous.

 

"Here, take these. This will last you at least a day." The Nyx said with a smile.

 

Vallis looked to the group. After several seconds of contemplating, sweating and after a hearty gulp, he spoke up.

 

"Hey um... If any of you get too cold, just ah, tell me, and i'll get the... uh... MOA to heat you up."

 

As he spoke, all he wanted to do was shrink back into the white landscape.

 

The Nyx had been noticing the Corpus Engineers socially-awkward motions. He seemed very tense and nervous from the beginning. Looks like Kor might win him over.

 

She looked back to the horizon. It was getting past midday. The sun was going to set sooner or later. She waved over to her crew.

 

"The sun is setting. We should get our move on."

Vallis grew only more tense as the Grineer turned to him and asked him the question. "It's just... you know... uh...:"

 

He trailed off as his mind failed to come up with something that could not be interpreted as offensive in one way or another.

 

When the Nyx told them they should move on, Vallis quickly turned his head and nodded, and went to check on his MOA as an excuse to move away from the conversation.

Emereen felt bad for the nervous Crewmen, but honestly couldn't blame him. Were it under different circumstances, she would have most likely been killed by half of the group. It did offer her some comfort that their were other Grineer with her, though. They knew what happened in the Grineer world, they had been through the same training she had gone through only months ago. Nevertheless, Emereen felt compelled to be friendly towards him. That was a concern for her higher-ups back when she was undergoing training. She was much too emotional for a normal Grineer, an obvious flaw in her genetics. She had been told that the Scorpion who had been sacrificed to clone her, as well as her sister, shared that same characteristic. Her kindness was of course seen as a weakness, but she couldn't help herself. Her higher-ups had hoped that the genetic reassignment would somehow affect or remove that quality, but seeing as how it was interrupted, it remained a part of her. Emereen, pulling the coat tightly to herself, walked up beside the Crewman and his MOA, not saying anything, but attempting to emit a friendly air about herself as she flashed him a disarming smile.

Cal walked over to kor

"No need to terrorize him ,he is the only corpus with us and he isn't a combatant." still speaking in grineer

Walking behind Emereen and Vallis he added "Besides, even I'm a little nervous of you" waving his hand to kor

Cal then thinks to himself that he was goin to watch over this two, just like the time when another did for him

"Terrorize him?  I just want to know what's wrong."  He said in grineer, somewhat offended.  "Not every officer is brainwashed." he said, glaring at the Tenno through his helmet.  He took a deep breath, calming himself as he stormed off.  "Should've stayed with Steel Meridian..." he muttered to himself.

"So, where are we heading?" Emereen asked the group as she cupped her hands and blew warm air into them.

 

"We're heading east." Adalynn replied to Emereen. "Rumors say that there is a large vessel in that general location."

 

"Terrorize him?  I just want to know what's wrong."  He said in grineer, somewhat offended.  "Not every officer is brainwashed." he said, glaring at the Tenno through his helmet.  He took a deep breath, calming himself as he stormed off.  "Should've stayed with Steel Meridian..." he muttered to himself.

 

"Commander, let's just get going. We don't have time to waste."

 

The Tenno looked out into the horizon again. While sights like the sun setting, is beautiful, best not to get distracted. They've been side-tracked from their goal for a long time. It's time to kick the gears into motion.

 

Adalynn's suit module fired back up. She gave a sigh of relief, as she was slowly becoming numb. With the warm feelings coming back, it was time to move.

A couple days have passed. They have walked many miles, but now the crashed cruiser is within view. It was of Corpus origin, with its obvious geometric architecture and outward appearance.

 

It was severed into many roomy chunks, so at least there might be something of worth within the rooms and split sections of the ship.

Maniac regarded the ship, realizing they'd thiught he'd been trying to tell them about it. He hurried ahead, walking straight through it, past it, to the ship he'd arrived to Europa in, given to him by the mirage, the crashed Liset he'd come from lay gleaming in the light of the sun.

Cal had heard Kor say he was part of Steel Meridian but he didn't feel like he had a say, he assumed he was like the rest and he felt guilty for thinking so. I'll make it up to him he thought it's the lest he could do.

While at the ship, he decides to take a little detour to a segment of the ship that looked promising

Stepping inside his Liset, he found it ransacked. He'd taken everything of value with him when he'd left it, at least all he could carry. The rest, he was forced to leave behind, and was gone now. He looked through it for a little, crouching in front of it's navigation window, noticing something on the ground, a flat gold disc, segmented like a void key. He picked it up and tossed it in his pack, figuring it would be interesting at least as decoration, or a conversation starter, not that he was one for conversations. He stepped out of the dusty ship, heading back to the group.

Seth looked though his scope at the ship's architecture, scanning the ship for any signs of enemies or wildlife that had already arrived there. Raiders or otherwise.

 

"I say we keep our heads low and weapons ready, there may be contacts here" he replied as he looked to Adelynn and his fellow survivors as he slowly began to approach the ship. "Also, See if you can find the bio-chemical lab for me, I need samples for my research."

Adalynn nodded to Seth.

 

She casually paced to the wreckage. The hull had been completely gutted. The ship itself was in shambles and in multiple segments. At least they'll be able to get some organized looting sessions done. 

 

Emereen began to look about the wreckage, keeping her eyes out for anything of use to the group or herself, primarily a weapon or perhaps a suit that offered greater protection.

 

Emereen might be able to find a few Corpus armaments inside a section of wreckage. The did tumble around quite a lot, and might prove useful for a duration before repairing or casting away. A couple Corpus jumpsuits can be seen hanging about. Lucky for her.

 

---Meanwhile---

 

A group of Corpus and Grineer raiders were already at the scene. Probably a couple days before the survivor group had even gotten there.

 

The raider group was in the middle of scavenging one of the larger sections of the ship, finding multiple weapons and ship parts. Those parts were made to make fearsome pieces of armor, as well as barricades to ward off any intruders. They were armed with Dera repeaters, Grakata rifles, Machetes and Provas. There were at least ten Grineer, and six Corpus inside the group, not including the Warlord.

 

The leader was a big fellow, larger than the average Grineer soldier, with a prosthetic arm. His armor was of standard affair; tradition Grineer soldier garb, albeit with some changes. Parts of the ship were added atop his armor, adding greater protection compared to his war-torn suit. His prosthetic right arm, had various bits of shrapnel tied onto it, much like a spiked gauntlet.

 

The Warlord was armed with a large Manticore warhammer and a Drakgoon.

 

While making one of the barricades, a Corpus Merchant slipped and a piece of wreckage fell. One of the raiders working alongside the merchant insulted him.

 

"You idiot, why did you drop that!" A Grineer raider said in his tongue. "The Warlord will serve head on plate if not complete!"

 

"I'm sorry!" Said a Corpus merchant. "Fortifying things is hard work, when you don't have adequate tools!"

 

The two continued to fortify their position.

While Seth slowly walked though the wreck of the ship with Adelynn, he motioned for Adelynn to wait "Sh..." he whispered after a moment of silence. "Did you hear something?" he quickly checked his magazine, 11 bullets in the magazine and one in the chamber so far....

 

"We may not be alone" whispered the Doctor as he continued to travel though the ship, gathering some of the local plant life with his shiv and placing it in a separate pocket in his bag, Away from his medical tools and ammunition.  The plants may be useful for his research.

The site didn't particularly "awe" Vallis as he'd arrived. He'd been with Corpus ships in all their states. Crashed, in space, building, docked, boarded. He'd seen it all.

 

All he needed was access to a working terminal, and he could get an upload of the ship's layout. He hoped this ship possessed a still intact Proxy Storage unit. He surely wouldn't mind getting some more robots under his command. Particularly a Railgun MOA.

 

He followed the Nyx and Doctor into the wreckage, albeit a bit behind. His lacking was due to his scanning of the walls for the terminal he so needed. He'd already spotted three, but two were destroyed behind comprehension and the third was missing it's core components. As he continued his search the MOA fell in close behind him.

Upon hearing the doctor Kor scanned the walls with his cybernetic eye, searching for heat signatures when he noticed something peculiar, a very faint heat signature.  "I've detected a heat signature, but it's... faint.  I suggest you ready your weapons." he announced, as he readied his Kraken, and commanded his Harkonar Exoskeleton to activate its shields.  If there was going to be a fight, he would be on top of it.

"So you continue to collect plants?" he says in a low tone as he moves in and taps the doctor on the shoulder 

 

"id say there's at least 1 or 2 near by" he tells the nyx

Seth looked to Cal with a raised eyebrow "I do with the little time that I am spared with" before he prepares his rifle once more and slowly goes onward to investigate the disturbance. "Commander, I suggest guile and stealth. We may be dealing with enemies that have more bullets than we do" he whispered to Kor.

 

The Doctor took a deep breath and began to press forward.

"I agree, but a little caution on the way isn't a bad idea."  He whispered to the doctor.

 

"I have your flank" he said as he followed the doctor, ready for a fight.

Clueless that she had separated from the group, Emereen continued to search about the wreckage, her body on auto-pilot as she systematically moved from room to wrecked room. Her genetically altered flexibility made it easy for her to scour the wreckage, eventually placing her in a high-up room. Cold winds blew in through the tears in the hull, causing her to pull the coat tightly around herself to keep her from losing her precious body heat. She spotted a locker precariously balanced over a broken support. Stepping close, she pried it open, careful not to lose her balance, else she would fall quite a ways. She half-dragged it into the wreckage of the room, then proceeded to finish opening it. Inside, she found a Detron and a slightly battered, but fully functional, grey-white Crewman suit. The Detron's chassis was scratched and chipped, but appeared to be loaded and functional. She let out a quiet, giddy laugh as she quickly proceeded to slip on the suit, removing the coat, but not her training jumpsuit. The suit was a bit large on her, however especially lacking in chest room, causing some slight discomfort, but infinitely times warmer than her jumpsuit alone. She attempted to put on the helmet, but it was too big and heavy, so she decided to go without it. Dawning the Doctor's coat once more and holstering her new-found Detron, she stood up victoriously. It was then that she realized how high up she was and that she had no idea where the group had gone. Nervously looking over the edge, she began to immediately feel the effects of vertigo and panicked, slipping on a patch of ice and fell through a hole in the floor, landing with a resounding clang two floors down. "Ow." she whimpered to herself as she stood up shakily. Again, she looked over the edge, then proceeded to quickly throw herself away from the ledge and hide behind some debris in the ruined room. As her heartbeat quickened, she hoped that the people she saw below her had not noticed her presence.

Vallis had noticed the words spoken by his fellow group members and how they were all preparing for an upcoming fight. Safe to say, this made him nervous again. He did try to push this aside, though, when he spotted a working terminal and moved towards it. As he arrived he took a Touch Pad that was holstered at his side.

 

The touch pad was pretty ordinary. It was rectangular in shape, although it was still pretty thick. It was covered in black metal, with the exception of the top side which was covered by the screen. On it's right side was a small storage space for a stylist that could be drown in and out, with the left side being occupied by the on/off switch, as well as several cord ends that could be pulled further out and plugged into other pieces of technology, the cords varying in shape to work with Corpus, Grineer or Orokin technology. It's top was decorated by several senders and receivers that could be used for wireless transmissions.

 

He pulled out the Corpus cord and attached it to the terminal, working on both it and the touch pad to get an upload of the Corpus ship. If it had crashed before the apocalypse there would be an updated map detailing the ship in it's crashed state. If it had crashed during the apocolypse though, it would be very unlikely that one had bothered to create such a map, and all Vallis would be able to pull out would be a map of the ship in it's non-destroyed form. He'd still be able to work his way around though, but with more difficulty

Sigrid held the nikana's handle tightly, as he crept behind Seth. This would be the first fight after he had taken refuge in europa.

'It is just another fight, you have done so many in your life.' he mumbled under his breath.

It is not the same like before. He knew it and doesn't put up an effort hiding it. But this is the wasteland and no rules are present. The greatest mercy he could give to his enemies is a swift killing blow.

As the group moved along the desolate destroyed ship, Kor noticed something.  "Where's the Private?" He asked the group.  Kor was getting worried, what if whoever was on this ship with them had found her?  That would completely blow their one advantage.  "Ramn." he swore in frustration.  He noticed the Engineer Vallis using a computer terminal, he wondered.  "Engineer, can you find the private with that... thing.? he asked.

Cal saw stairs going up in one of the rooms and said "im going to get a higher view" and runs up them all the way to the highest room the stairs took him to he finds a room with a hole in the top and leaps to the top of the wreckage, there he scans the area

"Where are you" the said to himself readying his bow with an arrow strung

The voice in his helmet chimes in "Your gonna fight again it seems"

"Yeah so it does"

"Don't lose these allies too"

Cal winced at that and began his search again
