A multitude of sounds resonated from the former merchant. The idle hum of a proto-shield array; the muffled, semi-sporadic, pained breaths from within his helmet; the sounds of machine married to man.
A Corpus. The slick, smooth plates of hardened alloys, the padding of a vacuum-sealed jumpsuit - a setup more akin to that of a mercantile mercenary.
Yet, he didn’t do anything out of aggression. There was no hum of fieldron-infused weaponry, no sharp snapping and crackling of cruel shock batons — he was completely unarmed.
“Pkatk you.” A simple ‘thank you’ in his native tongue, which is followed up by a few bootsteps. Soon enough, he shifts from standing to slumping down against a wall with a short grunt, and the scraping of his augments against the cold, hard wall.
He wanted to rest.
He wanted to think.
He wanted to feel safe. To feel something other than the debt-induced terror and fear of those who bought him out, only to push him into being nothing more than a caged animal due for vivisection.
