[Invite-Only/18+] The Apocalypse - The Journey

[K0ishiKomeiji]

Koishi glanced over to Lusith in surprise as she felt the hand on her shoulder. She didn't recognize them for a moment before she remembered the Zanuka. She kept her mind on it for a bit, trying to not focus on all the noise.

"Thankies." Koishi spoke softly, just loud enough for Lusith to hear. She couldn't think of much else to say, her mind still trying to wrap itself around the events taking place around her.

So much noise. Too many people. She closed her eyes for a moment to try to silence some of it, focus on the reassuring hand.

It didn't help much, as much as Koishi wished it did.

Seth wasn't exactly trusting of the stranger but they got to this slum known as Feld thanks to her, he frowned then asked "Several." 

He then cleared his throat and asked in a numeric order "One. Who are you. Two. Who do you work for? Three. what's the layout of this rail and four, do you need an extra doctor in this Slum?" he asked professionally and quickly. He also glanced around for anyone who appeared sick or injured.

The figure looked up towards the masked man. Her eyes squinted, a single brow raised. Seth or any of the others wouldn't really be able to see the slightly puzzled expression, though she thought of it as intrigue more than confusion. Most people would've just have left on their own, so it was a little refreshing to see this kind of astute behavior. She replied, her voice being clear, punctual, and honest.

"First, let's just say that I am an ally. Make of that what you will. Second, I work for Feld's Reconnaissance and Security Detail. It's a fairly demanding job, but I can get the job done. Third, a map would be able to answer your question, though I'll keep this short: the Rail is a very sprawling place, filled with either places like these, or conflict. And lastly, we have some sick individuals. It's a crowded place, so people are coming in quite frequently. We can manage, but if you can spare the time, it'd be greatly appreciated."

She adjusted the filter on her mask. She breathed a light sigh.

"Do you have any more questions?"

Momentary home, sweet momentary home. Jacob knows this place, although he's been here only for a couple of weeks, as he usually travels from settlement to settlement once he scavenges far enough. He needs to keep going to find new supplies, and to avoid attracting attention. His efforts at making friends were... less successfull, so he usually doesn't have much reason in that department to stay either. Though he wasn't completely friendless, he always ended up leaving.

Though, following this group gave him a little hope. Of course, they could just dump him in here, but maybe if he befriends some of them, they could want him around, and maybe even like his presence.

Time to screw up horribly then...

"So... what's your name?" a classic conversation starter, should be good enough. He looked to the Mesa beside him, hoping the Rhino wouldn't be too overprotective.

Niveah looked down to see Jacob.

"You're Jacob, right?" Niveah said. "The name's Niveah."

She waited for him to ask another question.

By the time the woman had revealed herself to the group, Xyrha was long gone. 

Once again, she let her boredom get the better of her, as she ran along the narrow metal support beams, managing to keep her balance rather easily. After traversing through several abandoned ventilation shafts and collapsing hallways, Xyrha found herself standing at the bottom of an empty maintenance tunnel directly under Feld. The thief found herself a partially-decayed ladder leading directly up to a hatch inside of one of the settlement's buildings. 

She paused for a second, pulling out a scarf-like piece of fabric from her messenger bag, then proceeded to tie it around her mid-section in an attempt to hide the bandages and injury. With a quiet sigh, Xyrha adjusted the fabric one last time before carefully climbing up the ladder and climbing out the hatch. She pulled out one of her Lex pistols and stayed low to the ground, just in case.

[Sneak Roll - 1-20 die used. Xyrha needs to roll a 15 or greater. 19 rolled. Almost a naty-20!]

Xyrha would be able to get out of the hatch without anyone noticing. The Mag would be in a security detail area, basically an emergency exit and fairly guarded area. She was lucky enough to have no one patrolling there though. The only problem would be is sneaking out of the sprawling guard zone to get to a public area. The decision is now on her shoulders whether to attack the guards or sneak on about.

Aaand here's the roadblock Jacob has such a hard time getting across. Finding a way to continue the conversation... c'mon, don't screw up so soon...

"Terrible," Dain interjected, mostly to give himself something to do other than watch the crowds. "Ghastly, harrowing, unpleasant, dreadful." He shrugged. "Take your pick of negative adjectives, add the word 'freezing' to all of them, and thats Europa for you." He paused a moment. "In other words, not that different than from before everything went to hell in a handbasket."

Accidental Meta-lore-ing... If that's even a word :3

[FALSE.error]

After catching a brief glimpse of her surroundings through the deteriorating trap door, Xyrha silently climbed out of the forgotten maintenance shaft. She crouched above the grate and surveyed the immediate area once again, as a precaution, prior to carefully placing the grate where is originally rested and pulling out her second Lex, despite not having enough ammo to even load it; to her, it was more a force of habit.

Once she was confident that the hallway was vacant, the Mag slowly stood up and examined the walls and ceiling, searching for something to climb into in case any following events transpired unfavourably. Without thinking, yet again, Xyrha began to slowly wander down the left side of the corridor, sticking to the shadows.

"This place must be like a vacation the." Jacob commented "Still, I doubt it's as cramped in down there as it is here. The claustrophobic hallways and fact that behind every creaking wall could be a dreadful vacuum doesn't really make this a popular place for retirement." jokes make everything better, don't they?

Seth frowned at the figure's first answer, he didn't approve of those he could'nt put a name to, he then gripped his rifle a fair bit more tightly as he asked "Then if you wont tell us who you are then at least give us an Alias to call you." he said assertively.

He stared with his plague doctor's mask at the figure the tinted glass of his mask's eyeholes not showing any sign of eyes for the time being.

Niveah gave a little smirk, though Jacob wouldn't really be able to notice it under her helmet. It was a small relief to at least have someone who likes the lighten things up. With Dain having a rather brazen response, she decided to put in her two cents.

"Well, Europa has had its share of claustrophobia. I mean, we found a bunker down in the depths of the planet's surface and it harbored a lot of nasty things... And while though I wasn't the nicest person, or treated like a princess, I was able to find some diamonds in the rough."

Her head slightly turned to Dain. She gave him a light, nudge with her hand. It was a punch, but with very little weight behind it, basically as some kind of jest. She smiled.

"But I don't want to necessarily dwell on Europa. It's not my area of expertise."

He stared with his plague doctor's mask at the figure the tinted glass of his mask's eyeholes not showing any sign of eyes for the time being.

She noticed that the masked person in front of her was gripping his rifle a little more tightly than usual. Her face straightened out, having a much more stern look, though under her visage, it wouldn't really be apparent.

"You can call me 'Mercy.' If you want to know more, then we'll have to get acquainted a little better." She said plainly. "And I don't necessarily like the way you're toting your rifle like that, sir. I know that we don't know each other that well, but I don't want to have another incident on our hands."

She reached into her satchel, taking out a small little card. It was odd to have her carry around a pad of paper, seeing that technology like that is extinct, but at least this was fairly modern. It was a stamped metal plate, with rounded edges, almost like dog tags. Mercy handed it to Adalynn. Stamped on was her name "Mercy" and a couple credentials.

"On that, you can find my radio frequency. Ping me whenever you need me most. Now, is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Why did you decide to pick us up?" Adalynn said with a fairly harsh and questioning tone.

"It's better to make a good first impression. No strings attached. I harbor no resentment towards you, unless you take it out onto my people. Then you'll have to answer to me. Besides, it looked like all of you were lost. You're not from around here, are you?"

"No, we're not."

"Ah, I see."

Mercy got a ping from her radio. She quickly flicked her hand to her ear. The human nodded, giving a fairly tired sigh in response.

"Well, it was nice talking to all of you, but I need to get going. We have another incident in the Slums."

Reaching into her satchel, she retrieved a large filter for her mask. Removing her current one, her breathing became a little more sporadic, though attaching on the new respiratory piece made her breathing a little bit better.

"I hope you enjoy your stay at Feld." She said happily before walking down the steps toward the Slums.

"Well, things sure can get more interesting... Any ideas, anyone?" Adalynn asked.

Edited February 16, 2017 by Zeus154

[Drakeardian]

Seth slung his rifle around his shoulder and looked to Adalynn "Well, first things first, we may as well try and use this time to rest and recuperate, see if we can make some friends with some of these locals along the way." suggested Seth "I think I may be able to if I help at the medical centre of theirs" pondered Seth as he looked to the others. 

"The best we can help this town, the better we can get at determining our next mission and gaining more supplies." said Seth as he began to head in, looking for any directions to the medical areas.

[Denny2669]

"There are diamonds all around us. They're just... covered in so much s**t, people can barely see them sparkling." Jacob commented, adding a chuckle at the end for effect.

Then Adalynn - remembered her name, good - voiced a question for the group, and with the conversational spirit that has just found temporary residence inside the cyborg, he has been compelled to speak up. "Maybe we could check out that situation at the slums? Towns I've been at rarely got trouble, aside from the occasional bar fights. We might find a scrap merchant there as well, I have some junk to sell."

Did that just rhyme?

Even if Niveah had been trying to move Dain, it wouldn't have worked. Niveah wasn't short or slight of build, but his build would have been compared to an ox... if anyone knew what an ox was.

He glanced over at the nudge, giving his own small smile to Jacob which, again, was hidden by his helmet. "And some of those diamonds are prettier than others, regardless of how much sh!t is on them." There was affection in his tone.

With the ideas that have been presented to Adalynn, she had to make a small choice. It'd probably be a bit better to split up for the time being, seeing that Seth could help the medical pavilion, with Dain and Niveah in tow. Jacob and her could work with Mercy to help expedite the job and get the ball rolling.

This two-pronged approach will get a few things done, get Feld into a much more reputable state and bolster their reputation as a result. Adalynn brought up a small user interface, punching in the frequency of Mercy.

"Hello? Who is this?" Mercy said with a near contentious voice.

"It's me, Adalynn. We need some direction to the Slums. We'd like to help." She replied.

"Oh. Alright. Head down the stairs. At the base of the stairs hang right. Keep walking until you meet two bends. Take the one on the left and take the small stairs down. I'll meet you at the base of those stairs."

Adalynn nodded, releasing control of her UI.

"Alright... Seth, go help out some of the doctors in the medical area. Dain, Niveah, follow Seth. Jacob, you're with me. We're going to Mercy."

Looks like the plan is a go. Adalynn headed down the stairs, taking the directions Mercy planned out.

[Denny2669]

The surprised on Jacob's face was quite visible. He's already being conanded around like he's part of them, not that he minds. But just the leader and him... it's definitely some sort of tactic. Take the new member out for a walk, get to know them, and then make a judgement. It makes sense, that's why she's taking him with her.

Better make that judgement as good as possible then.

He caught up quickly, following the Nyx while eyeing the surroundings.

"So... you're the leader?" he feels like he asked that already...

[Owlrrex]

As they had entered into Feld's oustide districts, Valerie had been called aside by two workers who were escorting a dolly of crates somewhere. "Yo, Valerie, good to see you! Chief wanted a word with you, something about your last load." The Saryn wasn't exactly overjoyed, but with an exaggerated roll of her eyes and head, she nodded, took her quick leave from the group and promised to return as soon as the 'old hag had been dealt with'. 

 

When she returned, her step was springy, apparently good news had arrived from wherever she had gone. Adalynn was just dividing up the group, and the Saryn promptly joined in as soon as the Nyx had stopped speaking.

"I'll go with you two! Medical stuffs are totally boring, despite the occasional gore!" She rubbed her hands, eager for some action. Maybe she could find a little pickpocket stupid enough to try their luck with a few Tenno, and rough him up a bit. The idea sounded lotta appealing right now, and made her grin in anticipation beneath her helmet.

He followed after Seth, making sure that he was at the back of their little group, Niveah in front of him. Once they arrived, he kept his head on a swivel, watching out for any threats. Slums tended to be full of the poor, and poor often meant desperate... and willing to steal.

Though he did not think they would go up against two Tenno. They were not that desperate.

She was a little surprised with the Saryn's enthusiasm. Valerie seemed a little off, with a finger the Nyx couldn't really place, but she did like the enthusiasm that she exuded. But she hoped that her potential arrogance or cocky behavior wouldn't cost her anything. She doesn't like butting heads with many people, especially her own.

"Just make sure to catch up and stay quiet."

The walk was fairly short, a few minutes at best. Looks like Feld is a small settlement. They saw Mercy, leaning against a wall, arms folded.

"I see you brought your crew." Mercy said simply. "Well, is everyone ready?"

He donned a fairly tattered coat, stamped with rather industrious logos and scientist designs. Underneath was a dark undersuit which was fairly plain. Stains of various types littered the coat and suit. He wore a basic mask, trying to prevent bodily fluids from getting into open orifices of his face.

"What brings you here? Are you sick?" he asked, his tone being a little tired and stressed.

He looked over and saw Seth, Dain, and Niveah, the pregnant Tenno. His eyes became wide with surprise. He pointed to Niveah.

"You, you're going to need help. Please sit onto the table and we'll get delivery ready."

Niveah bit her lower lip and looked down. She was feeling a little under-the-weather and was ready for the push. She looked over to Dain, her eyes gleaming with happiness, then back to the doctor. Looks like things are going to get intense.

Koishi glanced over to Lusith in surprise as she felt the hand on her shoulder. She didn't recognize them for a moment before she remembered the Zanuka. She kept her mind on it for a bit, trying to not focus on all the noise.

"Thankies." Koishi spoke softly, just loud enough for Lusith to hear. She couldn't think of much else to say, her mind still trying to wrap itself around the events taking place around her.

So much noise. Too many people. She closed her eyes for a moment to try to silence some of it, focus on the reassuring hand.

It didn't help much, as much as Koishi wished it did.

It was a fairly crowded place. A lot of people were shuffling their feet, talking to various friends, shopkeepers, and families. A couple people looked over to the Tenno. Some of them looked a little weirded out by the fact that there are Tenno. There aren't that many Tenno aboard, though from what the people from Feld could say. A shopkeeper looked over to them, waving to them.

"Ey? You want to buy sumthin, or what?" He said in a fairly silly accent. "I don't has all day."

[K0ishiKomeiji]

Koishi was still quite stressed, and it wasn't helped by people staring. In fact, it made her feel a little worse about just being here. Not to mention that most of the people in the group split up, leaving her surrounded by even more strangers. She gripped her hat a little for comfort, taking a little safety in it's small amount of velvet-like material.

That was until someone else started speaking in their direction. A shopkeeper of some kind?

She looked in her bag. She had a few magazines she could spare from her Stilettos. Those things chewed through ammo anyways.

She cautiously came forward, adjusting her bag to the side in case something of note actually came up to buy.

"Ums, what are yous sellin', mister?" Koishi asked gently, a touch of curiosity beneath it. Keeping herself focused on something might help.

When they reached Mercy - 'that name definitely isn't just for show' - he kept quiet, letting the leader do the talking.

"No, I'm here to help, I'm a doctor also." Seth replied to the man, although considering his condition as a Grineer, dying from Genetic Degradation could be considered a sickness.

Speaking on which, while Niveah was being taken away he quickly removed his syringe and filled it with a more improved version of DNA stabiliser he made whilst he was on the ship, he then injected himself with it into his neck, he then suddenly let off a gasp of relief as he felt his body become more rejuvenated before he moved to assist in birthing a Tenno baby.

"Oh by the Queens how does someone do such a thing?!" he muttered in Grintok, confused as to how in the Queens a tenno or human baby is usually born. He's never experienced such a thing.

The Mag breathed a silent sigh of relief upon noticing the familiar sight of the intricate network of aging metal support beams sprawling out above her head. At least now she had a kind-of backup plan. In fact, she probably should have just taken her leave while she was still unnoticed, however the discovery of what seemed to be a well-secured bunker hidden underneath the settlement of Feld had peaked Xyrha's attention. 

Based on her prior experiences, the discovery of seemingly-organized and secure activities hidden away from prying eyes was never a good thing. She knew that the presence of such security measures indicated that something worth securing is hidden away nearby; what exactly, is the answer that Xyrha was in search of. 

Why would anyone want to hide anything under such a populated area? 

Continuing to keep to the shadows, the Mag followed the shady corridor to its end, looking around cautiously.

Loa was surprised, as surprised as a robot could be of course, that the colonists inhabiting the rail city known as Feld were taking his presence so well. From the sparse records It had been able to pull from the decrepit ship logs many of which were terribly corrupted, despite that fact it was able to find some sparse records of everyone's reaction to the Fenrir Model. Many reports were of fear regardless of the fact that it had been marketed as a superior defense against the red veil and tenno incursions. Loa had arguments against leaving their very valuable ship defenseless, even if it didn't have any fuel that didn't mean there wasn't someone aboard this station that didn't have fuel or want supplies and parts. It had even considered staying behind while the others searched inside, but leaving the only valuable asset it had really acquired during the journey would be a waste of time and resources.

"O kuygz vomvga sibuffilz emeolrx gieholm xvi hirrig ylmyesziz." It had yet to really catch on that the others aside from the chosen companion Lusith and those wearing functional Corpus helmets with the proper decryption tech were unable to understand it's garbled mess of a language another factor that was equally aggravating and soothing to the proxy's circuits. 

Within the large group that Loa traveled it didn't pick up on the unease, but it had noticed the body language of some members had shifted considerably upon entering the settlement. The proxy was looking around picking up information on conversations here and there little squabbles about the lack of room, food, and a general distrust. Fleshlings were so inefficient at times, if only they just packed themselves together and stopped complaining they would be able to raise the efficiency of this station by at least sixty percent. Food rationing would be much better if they didn't bother with trying to sell each other useless trinkets and instead focused on cultivation tasks and salvaging to repair, maintain, and upgrade the structure of the area.

Though passively it was trying to tune in on conversations about the corpus and activities related to the board or this station, perhaps then it would find a suitable means to complete objectives. Loa tried to stick close to Lusith, noticing she was getting closer to the new companion to the group, who was showing signs of unease in the proximity of large groups. The cold pads of its feet padded along the metal floor clicking ever so softly as the micro-servos whirred and adjusted for slight imperfections in the platform, maintaining the proxies stalking nature as it followed along.

Koishi was still quite stressed, and it wasn't helped by people staring. In fact, it made her feel a little worse about just being here. Not to mention that most of the people in the group split up, leaving her surrounded by even more strangers. She gripped her hat a little for comfort, taking a little safety in it's small amount of velvet-like material.

That was until someone else started speaking in their direction. A shopkeeper of some kind?

She looked in her bag. She had a few magazines she could spare from her Stilettos. Those things chewed through ammo anyways.

She cautiously came forward, adjusting her bag to the side in case something of note actually came up to buy.

"Ums, what are yous sellin', mister?" Koishi asked gently, a touch of curiosity beneath it. Keeping herself focused on something might help.

"You's hungry? I got some food for ye." He replied confidently.

On his stall, he had some appetizing entrées. Looked like some grilled meats, noodles of peculiar quality, crackers, bread, and chili. It could be fairly evident that some of this stuff was a haphazard mess of homemade foods, mixed with MRE cuisine, but what could you do when a chef doesn't have everything at his disposal? He was ingenious with the mixture, proudly donning a dark, stained apron, from various sauces and liquid materials.

He waved his hand over the food. It was piping hot and ready to serve.

"We has noodles -- spicy and flavorful! Brisket and fine cuts from the wildlands! And The artisan breads that people cherish! Take! Pick!"

"Am I?" Jacob asked, half to the Tenno, half to himself. "Sorry, I'm just not used to being part of a group... n-not that I'm assuming I'm already part of yours... am I?" And another question asked, great. He just hopes the other Tenno won't butt into the conversation, she seems the type.

When they reached Mercy - 'that name definitely isn't just for show' - he kept quiet, letting the leader do the talking.

"Jacob, just... don't worry about it." Adalynn whispered.

She turned to face Mercy.

"I'm ready and so is he. What is the situation?"

Mercy moved away from the wall, her head looking behind her then back to Adalynn. Nobody was listening in or looking in their direction.

"Here's the situation: a domestic situation has turned sour. A person decided to take some lives in a small shootout. He's taken an individual hostage and someone called for help. We're the backup."

Adalynn's face was a little horrified at the situation.

'How did these things escalate?'

"Okay, how do you want to play this out, Mercy?"

"We can go about this in a couple ways - We either try and sneak about and divert his attention, or we can talk him down. Seeing that talking him down may be the harder option, we'll have to play this carefully."

She never really knew Tenno all that well in her line of work. The only thing that she heard were fables and legends, but it seemed like they were just people in a suit, though there would be something more.

"I'm going to sneak around back. You both can try and talk him down. If things go south, I'll know what to do." Mercy stated. "I'll see you on the other side."

With that, she headed within the congregated crowd. Looks like its a massive amount of people scared for what he will do next.

"Jacob, I hope you have some good persuasive skills."

 

-Doctor's appointment-

"No, I'm here to help, I'm a doctor also." Seth replied to the man, although considering his condition as a Grineer, dying from Genetic Degradation could be considered a sickness.

Speaking on which, while Niveah was being taken away he quickly removed his syringe and filled it with a more improved version of DNA stabiliser he made whilst he was on the ship, he then injected himself with it into his neck, he then suddenly let off a gasp of relief as he felt his body become more rejuvenated before he moved to assist in birthing a Tenno baby.

"Oh by the Queens how does someone do such a thing?!" he muttered in Grintok, confused as to how in the Queens a tenno or human baby is usually born. He's never experienced such a thing.

Niveah was a little reluctant, but understood what she had to do. She stripped down to her suit and stuffed her frame within a locker. She hopped onto the table and all it was is a waiting game. She closed her eyes, breathing in and out, trying to be as calm as possible.

"Now, just try to stay calm and keep breathing."

The Mag breathed a silent sigh of relief upon noticing the familiar sight of the intricate network of aging metal support beams sprawling out above her head. At least now she had a kind-of backup plan. In fact, she probably should have just taken her leave while she was still unnoticed, however the discovery of what seemed to be a well-secured bunker hidden underneath the settlement of Feld had peaked Xyrha's attention.

Continuing to keep to the shadows, the Mag followed the shady corridor to its end, looking around cautiously.

[Sneak - 1-20 die rolled - Xyrha needs to roll a(n) 15 or greater. 10 rolled. Failure!]

"You're not supposed to be here."

A group of guards had spotted the Mag's position, being fairly close to her. Making a fairly loud noise would result in a firefight, but keeping quiet would also arise a struggle, which might generate some trouble. Another guard patched into some communications.

"M, we have a Tenno perp on the rafters above Market. How do you want us to proceed?"

Mercy was halfway into the crowd, slowly working her way past the riff-raff. Patching in, she replied.

"Subdue her. If she uses lethal force, all bets are off."

He nodded, giving the confronting guard a couple shoulder taps before slowly converging on her position. How Xyrha will react to this situation, will be up to her.

"Do~n't you worry, I'll lift my own weight!" Even though Valerie meant the phrase in a metaphorical sense, she flexed her arms proudly. After all she spent many hours in her makeshift gym to build those muscles needed to handle her axe properly.

Contrary to Jacob's timid approach, Valerie had elected on her own to join ways with the group, simply because they promised an escape from neverchanging days. As such, her stride was full of herself, lively and resolute, with boots clacking soundly on the metal floors, and her visor turning left and right idly, afterall she more-or-less knew the area. 

After Mery had described the situation, and Adalynn inquired further, Val interrupted with a voice trying hard not to burst out laughing: "Wait, your alias is Mercy? Like, really? Mercy?" It was funnier than most things to her. "What an honour to meet you! I've heard so many people cry for you... but you never came. Busy job, eh?" Even the thought of said victims asking for mercy did not slow down her supressed giggling. 

She did try hard to become more serious though when plans were being made. "Hey, I'll come with you. I'm not that much of a talker, and if things go sour, you can never have enough firepower for a clean breach!" She patted the axe's handle over her shoulder. Even though she still had the Harpak hanging around her torso with its belt, she didn't really feel like wasting any of its few remaining bolts on a single hostage-taker. What would he be able to do against a Tenno, after all?

Koishi's eyes widened a little at the display of food. It was a pretty healthy variety, and reminded her a bit of what she had been making while she was scavenging.She put a finger to her chin, brushing it idly while looking. She glanced to her bag. She didn't have much to trade at all. Then her eyes opened with realization. Maybe she did. She pulled out her notebook, looking to the shopkeep.

"Ums, i's dun' got much to trade, but I's could share a few recipes! Makin' foodstuffs is funs! Especially when yous dun' gots much to work with. Is like a puzzlethingy, but tastier! If yous do it rights." Koishi spoke with some excitement. If there was anything to distract her, it was a shared hobby. Maybe they even had some cinnamon too.
