The sulfuric yellow clouds of Venus hung low over the forested cliffs that day. A single ship dipped up and down, gently weaving between the stone spires. Its pilot cast lazy glances at the land below as he steered.
"Are you sure the signature came from out here?" He sighed, "We've been here far too long to not have found something."
A black and white speckled Ghost chimed in, her voice held hints of indignation, "Yes I'm certain. Have some patience, Thane."
Luminescent lime eyes flitted over to his companion at his shoulder, "You know we're not the only ones searching, someone else can finish this one. That active signal from the Buried City probably wants to be found."
He pulled back on the ships controls, pulling them higher up. He tilted the ship to circle around, and a glint of sunlight caught his eye. His gaze snapped to the jungle below. A glimpse of metal through the thick growth and his Ghost floated triumphantly in front of his face.
He rolled his eyes and throttled down, "Yeah whatever."
He grabbed his helmet from the side of his seat and jerked his head slightly, shifting the loose lock of his black hair aside before sliding it over his head. He rose to retrieve his weapons, and moments later he was standing atop one of the lower of the cliffs. Normally her sudden transmats were irritating, but he was more focused on finding the lost Guardian as fast as possible. The light signature was weak, and at first he attributed it to distance, but being within eyesight of the ship and no change in strength was deeply worrying.
He marked the ship's location on his HUD and dropped down into the foliage.
