"Well, hell." Leveret said, sounding frustrated. "What should we do? There's probably a hole to go through somewhere, or we could just blow the thing open."

The entrance to the Bridge was locked. This likely meant that either people were inside, or no one had been alive to unlock it. The corridor around them was very dim, and tilted slightly. The area around them had fallen silent. A light flickered occasionally, and sometimes stayed off for a few seconds.

Chegar removed the magazine from this Angstrum, clipping two Tesla mines to the front of it as he knelt in front of the door. He pulled the trigger, hot plasma cutting into the metal door. Chegar began moving the improvised arch-cutter around the seam of the door, keeping an eye out for any signs of Tarnas.

"Gotcha. I'm on it. I'd rather bomb that thing, anyway. It would probably be more satisfying, at least."
Leveret turned around, watching the debris settle in the remains of the hangar, praying he wouldn't catch sight of the loki.

The door wasn't especially reinforced, and was taken down rather easily. The surrounding area was eerily still, with the air getting colder every moment. Ice crystals formed on some points on the walls from the exterior cold getting in. The area was silent, and devoid of movement. While this didn't disprove Tarnas' presence by any means, there was definitely no one else incoming.

(not true. it's also useful for riven unlocking)

The figure swings themselves upside down on their jammed knife like hands on a clock, and with a jerk from their hands pull the dagger free from the metal shaft and let themselves succumb to gravity, rather than attempt to dodge upwards.

As the Loki's leg grazes over their waist the figure grabs it and guides it into the hole left by the knife, letting the frame's own kinetic energy to the shunting in as the pair glide face first down into the unlit elevator passage below.

At the last moment, the Loki made a decoy, switch-teleported with it, and was falling beside the figure. He kicked off of a wall, and grabbed a sharp piece of metal mid-fall. He used the momentum from the kick to close in on the figure, positioning the piece of metal over their neck, merely waiting for gravity to do the work.

As the figure's hood touches the shard, the metal bit vibrates just for a bit, before shattering into a shower of jagged bits, the force of the explosions sending it straight towards the Loki's helmet. The figure swings their head up which results in another reverse headbutt, and somersaults into a tight ball through the air before kicking off the Loki and diving through a grate and into another vent without so much as a CRASH.

During the somersault, the kavat takes a huge chunk out of one of the Loki's horn, and several deep swipes at the face, the nails sharp enough that unless immediately agitated the gashes wouldn't even be registered.

As the Loki was pushed backwards, it disappeared completely. Surprisingly, this was indeed not a decoy. The Loki had likely made their escape. However, something odd happened afterwards. If the figure looked closely at the parts that had made contact with the Loki, they would see small amounts of Infested tissue beginning to expand. Same with the claws of the kavat.

"Well dang. Can't let this ruin my outfit, I still need it for outside..." the figure whispers to themselves, feeling the back of their hood and *seeing* the bits of flesh on their pet. Clicking their tongue again as they begin making headway chasing after the earlier pair of Tenno, the tiny space is filled with rumbling and shaking; the portion of infestation jiggles like gelatin  before the edges turn into particles, being vibrated down into annihilation.

Chegar recieved a message from seemingly out of nowhere. It wasn't clear who would send him a message, given the situation, and there was no name accompanying the message. It was quite short, and all text. It abruptly appeared on Chegar's HUD.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen. Be careful. I can't do anything to stop him. I can't let him know I told you this. I have to avoid mentioning names or he'll find out.

"Well... Guess we should start searching." Chegar said, ejecting the spent mines and replacing his angstrum's magazine before unslinging his Sobek. "Let's get to it..."

"whoa..." He paused just as he was stepping inside the bridge. He turned to Leveret. "Did you just get a line of text on you're HUD?"

((leveret was not written as having gotten it, so I'm assuming he did not until told otherwise))

"A line of text? No, not since you sent something a while back. Why, is someone else trying to contact us?"

a thin layer of ice crackled around his hastily-repaired wrist, and he readjusted his grip on his Hek. All the meridian operatives are dead, I don't know why I'm getting my hopes up, he thought to himself. That's what I get for working with perrin folks.

They were interrupted by sounds of gunfire, and the associated bullets nearly hitting them. A whole bunch of guns (A multiple of 10) were fired at the now-destroyed doors. Most of it was ballistic, and sounded like Bratons. There were a few energy shots here and there, looking like they were fired from Tetras and Supras.

(Overkill is the best kill)

They were poorly aimed, and almost all of them were missing. However, a few of them would impact both of the Warframes. Plenty of steam had been created when the door was removed, preventing them from seeing who was firing.

Chegar immediately stumbled back, parrying as many shots as he could with his nikana. He did his best to boost the volume of his Warframe's speaker; given it wasn't a Banshee, the results were... less than perfect.
"{HOLD YOUR FIRE! HOLD YOUR FIRE!}" Chegar Called, reaching out both through the COMM's and hollering at the top of his lungs in an attempt to quell the bombardment.

Leveret immediately activated the electromagnetic shielding on his ack/brunt and moved in front of Chegar, bracing himself for the incoming hail of bullets now being pulled towards him. A few clipped his shoulders and legs, but he was able to tilt his shield up and reflect most of the shots harmlessly into the ceiling.

After a few moments of this, the shooting mostly stopped. However, the person with the Supra was still firing, screaming at the top of his lungs.

"FOR THE LOVE OF GABEN, STEVE, STOP SHOOTING!" Yelled another person on the Bridge. The Supra stopped a moment later.

As the steam cleared, the view of the Bridge was clear. There were about 20 people, all with Perrin uniforms, hiding behind chairs and consoles. The slowly got up, peering over their cover. The one with the Supra had his gun taken away moments before, clearly. As it cleared more, there was a rather tall humanoid standing in front of the massive, cracked window (Is there a name for those) at the very front of the Bridge. Judging from the silhouette alone, it was rather obvious that this was Clogori.

The hallway was silent again. The Loki was gone, but it wasn't clear where on the ship the Figure had ended up. It was a fairly large corridor, with fairly large doors visible at the end. It was mostly untouched, and ice hadn't started forming here yet. It seemed noticeably warmer here compared to the rest of the ship.

((window works, portholes are small ship windows, I can't really think of something bigger. Observation-something, maybe? Like an observation window? -shrugs loudly-))

Leveret let out a frustrated sigh, straightening up where he was standing but keeping his shield active. He looked severely grumpy at this point, but said nothing, merely glancing at Chegar to make sure the vauban was still mostly intact.

Keeping the silent vigil, the figure kneels down onto the floor and gives it several raps, letting the sound bounce through the area, looking for a general idea on where they winded up, and how far they still are from the bridge.

Clogori didn't turn around to face them, nor did he acknowledge their presence. The Perrin troops had their weapons lowered, and some of them went back to a few consoles. The ship was clearly mostly non-functional, but some systems still worked. The area was silent again for a moment.

They were, in fact, quite far from their intended destination. The battle with the Loki had led them to an area below the surface  (or at least the snow), in the underside of the ship. It had sunk below ground not long after the crash, and had ended up fairly far.

If the figure had any way of measuring radiation, they would notice traces of it behind the large doors in front of them. It wasn't lethal, or even harmful unless any living thing were to be exposed for many hours, but it was detectable nonetheless.

Chegar recentered himself, slowly sheathing his katana.
"If there's anyone that needs medical attention, bring them front and center!" Chegar yelled, slowly marching over to Clogori,
"_{You have....}Some serious explaining to do here, Tenno." He said, his voice still cold and harsh as he addressed the Limbo.

"If you're talking about him, I suppose I do. If you're still angry about Tavus, however, I've made multiple attempts to tell you I did the right thing there." Clogori said, sounding exhausted. "Alright, I guess we don't have much else to do. While they're welding the door back together, I guess I can explain myself."

He the muttered to himself. "All of these worlds are yours, except for Europa. Attempt no landings there. Well, look at us now. I suppose it wasn't much of a landing, though."

(there`s an underside still left to the ship? didn't the entire bottom get shaven off?)

The figure recognizes the echos bouncing back to them after rapping the floor, strikingly familiar to when a reactor on an active ship goes critical. Without any way of measuring curies though; the figure not having so much as a wristwatch on them, the figure quickly decides to not attempt to find out what`s on the other side and instead climbs back out and up through the vents towards the top of the ship.

They came looking for loot after all, and they weren't about to risk exposing themselves to blanket radiation, however small, in their current outfit without a *lot* of credits on the line. Currently, the only things with guaranteed value in their mind whatever the two earlier frames were chasing down...and quite possibly whatever equipment they wouldn't mind being *borrowed*.

(This wasn't originally the bottom of the ship. However  this part was still the lowest intact point in this area of the ship, and because ships are heavy, sunk a little)

After quite a bit of climbing, the figure eventually found themself back on the upper decks. It was much colder here again, and ice was visible in parts of the vents. Upon leaving the vents, they would be in a long corridor, mostly still intact. There weren't any doors visible at the moment, and the corridor was poorly lit, preventing them from seeing to either end.

"Enough of the old earth literature. Tavus, while troubled, was the last sane member of his team and trying to turn his life around. Tarnas is a raving psychopath and an abject abomination. Why, IN GOD'S NAME, did you KILL Tavus, and why is Tarnas not only alive, but now covered in that infested mass and HUNTING US?" Chegar began sputtering. "WHAT THE F#CK WERE YOU THINKING!?
