Crashed and Burned (Closed, IC)

"Well, looks like I wasn't the only one to crash here. Now I don't feel quite as bad about my 'landing'." The mag muttered to herself. "Might as well head over and check out the other wreck. If nothing else, it'll provide some shelter for this storm.

Reaper prime in hand, she began to bullet jump towards the corpus vessel, covering the distance rapidly. Once she got in range, she began to magnetically pull on the vessel, only instead of dragging the ship to her, it sent her soaring towards the ship. With a loud clang, she landed on the side of the ship.

It was a considerable distance, but was easily crossed by a Tenno. The ship itself was scratched and severely damaged. Sections were torn off, and the ground was littered with debris. The bottom 1/3 was either below the ice, destroyed in the crash, or both. There were many nearby hull breaches, and it would be quite easy to enter the ship.

The other operatives were wary of the newcomer,but Efahz was curious.

"Why do you do that?" He asked, as she made odd sounds. "Echolocation? Some kind of weapon?"

He still kept pace, but he certainly didn't find it easy. The temperature got warmer still as they continued further into the ship. The Supra operative led the way, taking them down several corridors. He had his datapad in one hand, referring to it every few minutes. He would occasionally make a wrong turn and have to backtrack a few steps, buthe mostly did a good job of preventing them from getting lost.

Clogori continued pacing back and forth, occasionally looking at the incoming storm. He had no idea if Tarnas or the cold would kill them first, but he hoped they'd last long enough to get off this moon. He didn't want everything to go to waste, because of the Grineer.

"If we do find Tarnas, I have no idea how we'll subdue him, to be honest. The only way I got him before was when I had every advantage." Clogori explained. "Now that the Infested has taken over and I have to worry about keeping the crew alive, he has the upper hand. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them."

"I hate to tell you this, but if you're planning on taking him off this rock, it'll be in bits and pieces..." chegar said, wiring up another lantern-heater. "The only reason why I've been able to keep toe to toe with him is by doing things that he couldn't account for. Then there's my friend, a Frost user, He simply tries to out-crazy him..." Chegar stopped, chucking to himself for a bit as he remembered what happened on Pluto. "Crazy B@st@rd Kicked 'em right in the nuts. I think that's the only time I've ever seen Tarna's go pale." Chegar slowly managed to bring himself back under control. "the point is, if we have any chance of pushing back, we're gonna need to make this place as horrible a battle ground for him as we can: subvert his misdirection and close quarters combat." Chegar continued, managing to complete a third lantern: he was getting good at this. "Only then will we have a chance..."

The mag leaped into one of the many holes in the exterior of the ship, but she cushioned her landing with a well-placed magnetic push. Creeping softly, she began to search for anything that might help her contact help or escape.

She landed in a corridor. Every surface was ice. The air was frigid. The lights were rather dim. The surrounding area was dead silent. There was no motion. Due to the lack of light, neither end of the corridor was visible. There were no nearby doors. The corridor looked altogether unnerving, and wouldn't provide any protection from the weather.

Wordlessly, the mag began walking down the corridor, reaper prime in hand.

The Mag felt as though they were being watched as she walked down the corridor. She would pass a few door, but they had all been frozen over. The ground was ice. The walls were ice. The ceiling was ice. The windows to her left were ice. Everything was ice. The cold permeated everything in the ship.

Eventually, the Mag reached a point where the corridor split. She could either keep going forward, continuing along, or she could go right to go further into the ship.

Leveret stayed qrumpily quiet as they continued towards the medbay. He was too busy keeping an eye on the operatives - especially Efahz - to come up with anything spiteful to say to the newest member of their little group.

He couldn't help but worry about Efahz's limp. He had no doubt it would slow them down, but there was nothing he could think to do about it. For a Meridian operative, it would be easy - a permanent injury would mean amputation and cybernetics for any grineer or ex-grineer. But obviously that's not an option here, he thought to himself. And so his train of thought kept circling around and around between the obvious issue and the solution he couldn't come up with.

"Lost my eyes during an old crash, had to teach myself to *see* another way." The girl quietly says, cheerfully yet matter of factly. "Lost my parents then too, so had to make do until I found my new family."

All the while, the girl keeps pace with Efahz, despite the potential speed difference. All the while, she taps as she goes, on a dislodged crate one second, a toppled barrel the next, always checking for things of potential value as well as scoping the area.

"I know the feeling, yeah. The parents, not the eyes, I mean." Efahz said. "Grew up as Corpus. Grineer ambush. I never really saw them much, and I knew it was inevitable." He stopped talking and kept walking/limping along.

"Wait, does other sound interfere with that?" He asked. "Should I shut up?" He stopped dragging his Lanka, and carried it like a normal person.

"We need to rely on traps. Ambushes. Give him a chance to kill. He enjoys it, I think. At least, the Infested does." Clogori responded. "It'll take work, but the three of us can get the jump on him, and hopefully beat him one way or another."

The storm was already closer, and looked imposing. None of them would see the sun for a few days. Clogori resumed his pacing, now muttering to himself.

"Why can't I ever crash land on a tropical beach?" The mag sighed wistfully, heading ever deeper into the ship. She kept an eye out for any consoles that might be functional. She needed to send a distress signal out, and quickly.

Everything was frozen over still, and the feeling of being watched only grew in strength. The feeling was present wherever she went. Something was out there. It didn't show itself yet, but this wreck wasn't dead. At least something still stirred here. There was no smell of death in the air. If there were corpses, they would be frozen and preserved.

"Well you can't choose your first family, but you're free to choose your second.I know mine are my anchors for sure." The girl replies, every so often grabbing jarred items from the storage containers scattered throughout the path; a bottle here, a package here, a battery there. For the observant, as soon as the item goes behind her back it never comes back out in view, seemingly disappearing like a magic trick.

"And as long as you don't suddenly start detonating explosives everywhere *again*, it's not as bad as you think. Otherwise, I'd have never survived my first gunfight."

"I'd like to remind you that we weren't the ones who blew up the hangar," Leveret chimed in from the front, sounding less upset in general. Every so often he would stretch his damaged wrist, making sure the small amount of leaking ice wouldn't cause any problems. It was more of a nuisance than an actual issue at this point, but it certainly wasn't doing anything to help his mood. "I do agree with the family thing, though. Everyone deserves to find people who care about them."

((added some more so leveret's being less of a jerk))

The group reached a closed door moments later. It wasn't frozen over, as it was far enough inside of the ship. However, it had been sealed shut by locks. Efahz walked up to a console beside the door, and started typing rapidly.

"Well, I guess we're here. Grab whatever you can, and then we'll head back to the bridge." Said the Supra operative. "We need whatever we can get."

Efahz threw his hands up in frustration, walking away from the console.

"Security systems failed. Door's sealed shut. Any other ideas?" He asked.

The mag continued onward, though the lack of corpses had not gone unnoticed by her. She warily glanced around, looking for any potential threats as she descended further into the ship.

Leveret crossed his arms thoughtfully. "Well, we can't force it...there might be another way around, though. Uh, map guy..." he turned to the group and pointed to the detron operative. "There you are. Okay, any chance the map has any information on vent systems or other ways in?"

Visible ahead was a humanoid lying on the floor of the corridor. It was clear at a distance that this was a Tenno, as it was too large to be a human. It wasn't easy to discern what Warframe it was, but it bore similarities to a Loki. It wasn't frozen over yet, meaning it was recent.

"Nothing large enough for even us to fit through. Forcing it doesn't sound like too bad of an idea. If someone, probably you, can smash that door, we'll be able to get through. No explosions needed." The Detron operative suggested. "Or use your weird lasers to melt it."

The Supra and Tetra operatives walked forward, and raised their weapons.

"Do you think we can melt through that door?" The Supra operative asked.

The mag pulled the figure over to her, rather than walking over. She inspected the loki, though frequently glanced up to see if anyone else was around.

"A tenno?" she muttered, "Well that's bad. What was a tenno doing here, and more importantly, what managed to killed him?"

(did you want this to be hard, or can I imply a little bit?)

The girl walks up past Efrahz and Leveret to face the metal door. Like playing out a song on drums she bobs up and down the solid slab of door, giving it a tap on several corners, before finally fulling off a glove, showing off an equally grey colored hand as her lower face, and giving it a solid rap in the middle of the door.

"Mag locks inside sound depowered, or at least enough to be a little loosened." The girl says quietly as she puts her glove back on. "WIth a precise cut in, some heating the middle, and a bit of eased prying after I figure you could pop the rest of the bolts open in one go."

"Alright, let's try that." Said the Tetra operative. "Someone needs to make the cut before we open fire, I guess."

Efahz went to the back of the group again, taking watch. They didn't want a surprise visit from Tarnas, especially right now. That could screw them over more than anything. The Detron Operative put himself in a position to fire on the doorway the moment it fell away.

The Loki did not move from where it was laying. It was unaffected by the pull, although the metal around it shifted a little. The body didn't stir. Something was wrong, and the feeling of being watched continued to grow. This whole situation seemed wrong.

Chegar watched as Clogori paced. His own mind was still reeling from the last few hours. After building several more thermal-lanterns, Chegar began looking over his PDA, looking to see if any of his equipment managed to survive the explosion.
"I'm half considering disconnecting with this frame. Try to get a rescue party out here" he said half-heartedly. "But given what sort of state we're in here. I'm not sure I'd be able to reconnect with it.... Not in time anyway."
