Polka... Polka?... POLKA! Ulf thought and, with a fist hit against the dashboard, forced exactly what he wanted out from the poor stereo system. Grineer's tap made him react like a crazed warhorse who was pinched by horseman's spurs, accelerating the armored vehicle to it's upper borders of speed capacities. In a couple of moments, the mammoth was already jumping at wild speeds against all those trampolines and forcing its way through the bumps. At some turns, the crew could feel the risk of turning over, and some of the nastier jump landings made the behemoth emit weird noises at the chassis' apparent center. Ulf began to grin. Slightly.

Afer one particularly nasty jump there is a horrendous snapping sound. The craft plows to a stop, punching through a small hill.

"Axels one through three have snapped." Grok says. "Compensating for damage."

There is a hum and the craft lifts into the air.

"Hover mode engaged." Grok says. "She'll drift a bit more and lose some toeing and ramming power, but she'll go faster."

The man peers at the shadowy figure for a secind more, then turns back to the bar.

"Smells delicious." He says. 

Smoke billows from where Sai'ah is frantically slapping a burger with a spatula.

"Don't forget the spices dear~" Alice reminded Sai'ah, seemingly OK with her handling of the burger.

The giant steak was finally ready. A masterpiece of both art and deliciousness. It was made in the shape of the customers head, halfway in the mouth of a behemoth's mouth, halfway in the mouth of a Wyrm. Surprisingly, it fit on the plate, and was presented to the customer.

"Bon appeti or wherever~"

"You expressed a wish to speak with the new Initiates." The scroll reads. "They await your presence in the monastery."

The words are handwritten and seem to be from someone who spends a great deal of time writing in archaic script.

The Rhino waits for your response.

His armor bears an insignia you have seen at the Monastery.

 

"Oh, sure. Thank you for informing me" She replied while standing up slowly and placing a two and a half thousand worth credit stick on the bar desk.

"I'll head there right away. Thankfully, the route is known, so you may proceed to your other duties instead of escorting me"

Using a brief moment to say something to Seven, she half-whispered with a barely sizable blink "Tell to your chief that I would like more of his meaty pastries sometime later"

"I will tell him." Sven says, taking the chip. "Feel free to stop by whenever."

"An artist and a cook." Bill says. "You are impressive."

He slides payment across the counter and looks at the steak, bowing his head and uttering a short prayer before gazing in awe at the food.

Sai'ah is now swiping at flames that have somehow managed to consume the entire burger.

"Mistakes were made." She says.

[Denny2669]

Alice giggled, and with the snap of a finger, a fire Osprey came to extinguish the burning burger.

"No worries, some Embers like overcooked food, especially when burned to a crisp."

The air suddenly fills with the smell of smoke as a V22 Osprey enters atmosphere, damaged and losing altitude

Theylin watches the craft with shock.

"Well." He says. "That is new."

"Unknown craft please adjust heading to nearest empty field and await inspection." He says. "Operatives will be in place to assist, or apprehend, you. Whichever seems appropriate."

The shadowy figure in the corner suddenly stands and disappears in a puff of smoke. 

Sai'ah looks embarrassed.

"Sorry." She says. "Maybe I can't cook."

The Osprey suddenly tips nose down and smashes into an air field. One of the rotors is wrenched loose and sent flying, the nose slams into the ground smashing it, and theres fire streaming from the other rotor

A burst of Shadow occcurs and a shadowy figure steps from them to stand over Zaeed.

"Who are you?" The nurse asks.

"Bless him and try to sophon away that energy." The figure says. 

The nurae casts Blessing on Zaeed and begins drawing out the void.

Death lays his hands on either side of Zaeed's head and begins to push against Harbinger.

A flash of gold heralds the arrival of Tak.

He glances at the shadowy figure as if confirming something he long suspected and then places his hands on Zaeed's chest, joining Death in his struggle.

Several armored forms close in, staying out of the possible blast radius. 

"Are you alright?" One shouts. "Do you need medical assistance?"

*An atlas enters the diner, taller than any normal atlas, with more proportional limbs.  He is silent , yet it is hard not to notice him due to his size and thudding boots. He sits down at the bar counter, hands folded in front of him. He is waiting, patiently.*

[Cyriann]

As the boy comes in the beasts head rises and turns to him, the boys instantly reals back as flames engulf the spot where he was standing.

"What was that for ?!" He yells as he gets closer to the green lizard, which is finally standing from its resting position. It has four legs, a long neck, golden eyes, sharp teeth and claws, wings and a long tail, putting it shortly, typical legendary dragon appearance. Though contrarily to the majesty supposed to be common for these beasts, this one doesn't quite give the impression of being any noble creature, to be exact, more like a defiant animal playing around with his master.

"Maybe for... Ho yeah ! The fact my own brother, which I'm keeping alive by being myself alive, just left me to absolute stranger with no knowledge whatsoever of if they could heal my wound when HE could have done so in a bloody minute !" The creature uses the advantage of his position to tower above his brother as it talks with ease and incredible speed, his eyes are cold, almost as if he could straightly jump to Cyriann's throat. The boy crosses his arms looking at the beast no visible fear nor expression of anger on his face, they stare at each other a moment, the air remains tensed as if the two could engage in a battle any second until... the dragon shifts from an Omega kubrow size to a size small enough for him to stand on his brother's shoulder, two legs and the neck on the right, the two other legs and the tail on the left, suddenly ruffling his right cheek with his head.

"Man, sometimes I wonder what's going through your mind." Cyriann pets the dragon on the head as a response and signals to every person there are no danger anymore and that they can approach.

To any scientific eye it would be obvious something is off, and the one who operated the beast probably had already an idea as to what makes this impossible beast tick. In fact as a biologic entity the creature makes no sense, borrowing traits from insects, mammals, reptiles and even fishes, yet it is there, talking and switching size with no care in the world about what logic means. The truth behind it's nonsensical appearance lies in what the Orokin had labelled as DNA stabilizers, items nowadays used to keep reconstructed Orokin-Era kubrows from melting into bloody pulps after a while, but there original purpose was to provide unstable chimeras a mean to survive longer though not in perfect shape unfortunately.

The clan Cyriann leads has always been known for its weird experiments, generally never ending very well, and the fact its members had access to an old library inside of their ship, library which had contributed to the establishment of the Codex by providing details and possessing secondary studies that had fortunately permitted to confirm informations held in only one or two documents, thus extending the Codex even further.

The project the beast is a representative was codenamed: Project DR for D(NA) R(egenerators), chimeras built with the sole purpose of living as symbiots, providing key leading elements to people lacking in genetic compounds for their own survival. The datas had never proved relevant since the chimeras themselves had never been able to survive even through constant care and DNA stabilizing treatments, yet they had represented for the young clan leader the only mean of walking and standing on his own again.

Under the surveillance of the Lotus, Teshin and representatives of the different faction syndicates, he had rebooted the project, working on the one creature that would sustain his depleted organism, with time the conclusion was clear, no matter what, a purely biological chimera entity couldn't fit the role of a symbiot for an organism like him. Thus he researched for a mean to, if not entirely stabilize, at least offer the creature a mean of survival on its own, the principle was to have a symbiot that would not need to always be by its master's side, neither would it be entirely dependent on the master's will to survive on it's own. With the biological impossibility to have a perfectly fitted organism, it was decided to provide the creature with bio-mechanical implants, serving as patches throughout the organism to hold together the most differing organs.

That had translated in the birth of DR00E, a prototype fortunately fitted enough to the leader to be able to live as his symbiot, the majority of it's bones are made of a bio-metal similar to the one constituting the sentinels cores while it's muscles are entirely biological their extremities are also made in bio-metal, ensuring they will not detach from or break the bones, each organ is carefully surveyed by micro systems dedicated to maintaining the physiological conditions favorable for the dragon.

The name Zephyr was chosen when the beast first tried to fly, and instinctively used gushes of wind to compensate the details escaping it's grasp at the moment, the fact the creature managed to develop the ability to speak remains a mystery to this date as never any other chimera developed this ability, as much as any ever survived as long as him. As well it is important to note that at the moment though the creature displays an ability to fight in the form of fire breathing and different close combat abilities, the importance of the symbiotic link between the boy and the beast as grown over time and it is confirmed at this moment that the death of one, would immediately provoke the death of the other. Their two organism are though perfectly independent still tests have confirmed an important correlation between one's state and the other ones.

For now under severe surveillance as to how the creature could represent either problems or benefits for the Tennos in general, the project has been put into a halt until it can be assessed if providing all Tennos with symbiotic partners would prove useful or not.

"Frame powered down." He says. "And weapons in the box."
