We Are Our Avatars XI (Open)

[Vakra jal]

After some more time of travel through the fields of corpses, which Faa did his best to ignore, the ground shook as a heavily armed Scath landed beside the truck. His armour compased of angular and jagged plates that covered all of his body. It must have taken hours for him to get into the ancient set of armour. His head encased in a helm with a sloped face guard. Blood had splattered many places of this armour. Faa poked his head out of the truck and begins talking in Scath.

After several short words are shared, Faa says to everyone. "This is a knight of Scathis, he says he and the other Knights are the only ones out here, looking for survivors. The rest of the Scath have completely pulled back to the portal. He says there's no way we could slip past. We're gonna follow him and the other Knights though. They are going to meet back up and break through. That's as far as you have to take me, I don't want to put you all in any more danger."

"Well, how do you recommend coping with being surrounded by aliens and vampires and such?" I ask, curious about what the answer would be.

 

[Silence]

[color=99d039]"Fair enough."[/color] Sarah stated from the driver's seat. [color=99d039]"I can drive us there. Hopefully, they won't be hostile.
And ... everyone on the internet says the Scath would overrun South Africa, but we only see them dead or pull back? I hope we don't have a greater threat before us. Right now I'm definitely not able to fight."[/color]

OOC: posting here for visibility. In 2 hours I'll be on a plane to turkey so depending on Internet coverage I'll only be making one or two more posts, mainly just to resolve some things.

They would indeed find the perimeter that tombstone had established. Stationed by 4 walkers and several groups of infantry.

Another two Knights joined the first, indicating now was the time to stop. The Knights bow before Faa, commenting on how good it is to see him well before commending humanity's skill on the field. The Scath hadn't the stomach for this fight, their military simply far too inefficient and under equipped. A defeat like this spells disaster politically, Scath society will surely fragment much more.

"Goodbye everyone, you've already done too much for me. The Knights will get me back safe." He said with some weariness "I don't think I'll see any of you again"

Faa departs with the Knights. One of them carries him while the other two employ their phenomenal abilities to smash the tombstone formation apart. Despite being large and heavily armoured each Knights moved faster than any other Scath and were immensely strong. Each a true hero of their homeworld.

"Keeping an open mind is they key. And if you are confused, do not be afraid to ask questions." Lambda told him.

When the finished driving, Lambda waved goodbye to Faa, wishing him well, while Reinhardt gave him a salute.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"So long." I say to the alien prince, or whatever Faa is. But I turn back to Lambda quickly. "All questions? Alright. Mind if I start with you? Like, for instance, what does being a cyborg entail?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"I am a Murakumo unit. I was... born, for want of a better word, like this. It has caused me trouble, but I have benefited from it many times over."

 

[Silence]

Sarah stepped out of the truck, and also said goodbye to Faa. She then looked over the rest of the party. [color=99d039]"Hmm ... I'm kind of out of place here. If I at least had an XPOL uniform or such ..."[/color] she joked.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"So...you were 'born' with non organic parts? Or do you mean you just sort of...woke up, fully grown and formed?" I ask, quite interested now.

 

[Slenn]

"I do hope their world gets better in time." She said, making a sigh of sadness. "Where should we go now?" She asked no one in particular.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"The latter." Lambda answered.
Reinhardt looked to Sarah and Shana. "We are here, are we not? Perhaps we could aid in reconstruction or clearing out the last of the battles. Mark my words, someone is fighting somewhere. And who cares about uniform?"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

As the truck had passed through the battlefield, Zev looked at the corpses fairly nonchalantly, not taking much issue with the sights.

She grinned at Sarah and said, [color=660099]"I like your outfit. But you should probably cover up more to prevent burns. If nothing else, you can stand under my cloak."[/color]

 

[Outisakanobody]

"I see. That must have been a little...difficult to come to terms with. Some feelings of...emotional disconnect, I would guess? Alienation, to put it simply." I say to Lambda, turning the tables and probing deeper.

 

[Silence]

[color=99d039]"Thank you."[/color] Sarah said, smiling at Zev. [color=99d039]"I did not think of that ... but I should have sunscreen somewhere, so I don't need to stay under your cloak."[/color] She grinned slightly. [color=99d039]"Anyways, helping with reconstruction sounds good. Maybe we could also drive somewhere else, somewhere people need us right now."[/color]

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"You have no idea." Lambda told him.
"That's the spirit!" Reinhardt gave Sarah a pat on the back that would probably knock her down.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"So, did someone help you cope with that? You seem fairly well adjusted, based on our limited interactions so far." I say, reclining and getting as comfortable as possible in the truck.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Some old friends." Lambda replied, trying to hide how loaded that statement was.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"There's that feeling again." I comment. I let it sit, seeing how she'll react.

 

[Slenn]

She rubbed her forehead in thought. "That's sounds like a plan." she said to Reinhardt and Sarah.

"Ella, what do you think of this idea?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"One of then was... similar to you." Lambda told him.
