Epitank

[hobo_lantern]

 (Backdated to after Arduus Umbris finale)

Epimetheus looks rather more sullen than usual today. Most likely it's because he just lost both of his legs from knees to below. But apparently, somebody duct taped him onto a small radio-controlled toy-tank. Or is it that that makes him sullen?

Either way, he's now moving back and forth in the hallway with a remote control on his hands. Back and forth. 

Bother the robot or try to find the mysterious party who did that to him?

Level 15

[After the last fight with Shadow Knights and a certain mad scientist, Raynor looks up at Paragon, currently stationed on the deck. The robot has new colors now (not to mention the dual blades it wields), showing its new form.]

Ranger and Shepherd... I did it. I mastered all the Virtues, and saved myself. And if I can do that, I should be able to save the Shadow Knights too.

Ever since the defeat of the Shadow Knights and Professor Tesla, Yuu's been oddly silent. Thinking. Musing. Replaying a certain event in his head, over and over.

"....Oishi...my beloved...why...?"

[Yuu'll be open to questions post mission, as he hops down from the X-Buster's cockpit. Now would be a good time to ask.]

2.

[And once again, Yuu's managed to sneak into kitchen duty. He's fervently making bowl after bowl of ramen, tasting each mixture once, then tossing it. It looks as if he's gone through a number of bowls and utensils, his frantic pace overwhelming the stress limits of metal pots and stirring wisks, as well as chopping knives and serving bowls. He can be heard muttering to himself.]

No...no...no! This is nothing like hers...like ours....

Grand Theft Planet

(This was supposed to be posted like two weeks ago, but severe ear infections take the wind right out of one's posting sails. Sorry for the delay)

[It's a nice day today in the White Chalice's hangar. The technicians work dutifully to fix the damages sustained in the latest mission, the sun shines, the birds sing, and a robot monkey happily surveys everything. It's such a peaceful day, so welcome after the latest few days the Chalice has had...

...and suddenly the air rips with a loud buzzing noise and out comes Rushbird flying like crazy! It lands with a long skid, taking the full length of the hangar to fully come to a stop - technicians might want to dive out of the way! And all the while it seems to be stubornly and carefully holding something in its hands...

What it is is revealed soon, though, as the mech's hands open, and in it there is... Samus and Devon, apparently, both in armor and standing upright. Both them and the mech look rather scratched, as if they came from a rather pitched battle. In fact, Samus looks rather more than scratched, she's clearly taken a fair amount of damage - and perhaps more surprisingly, she actually falls to her knees in exhaustion, laying knelt on Rushbird's hand as if to regain her breath.

What probably calls most attention, though, is the thing that they are holding. A sickly-looking, bulbous, shining blue porous thing, roughly the size of a night stand with long (and right now, ripped off) tendrils sprouting out of it, that seems to crackle with energy. It kind of reminds of some kind of gross, fishy organ, only bigger.

Still, that does explain where the hell Samus and Ichitaka have been these last days. ...or actually, no it doesn't.

Ask where the hell did these people even come from?]

[OOC: This thread is both for the assault team to talk about the little side mission they just had and fulfill its primary objective, and also for everyone else to go what the hell, so fell free to butt in and react! A second prompt will probably be added after a bit]

ADDED Prompt 2 - The next day (Arboretum)

[Chronologically this goes after the ongoing thread has ended]

[If you walk past the arboretum, it's very hard to fail to notice that, while Samus seems to be back in her usual camping post, she's now accompanied by a large, bulbous thing a couple meters away from her. It looks... entirely too much like an egg from Aliens, really. And it's clearly alive, though sessile.

Despite the grotesque accoutrement, however, Samus looks perfectly peaceful as she sits under the tree like she used to do. More than she's looked in months, actually.

Still, the contrast is rather striking. The chozo warrior, all but projecting absolute control and calm... and an ugly pulsating bulby thing that is, quite honestly, really fucking creepy.

Approach, ask, and/or try to kill with fire?]
