Tattooed eyebrows moved as if the eyes underneath were squinting. There was a slight tilt to his chin as vapored breath streamed from his mouth.

❝ Don’t play dumb,❞ he crowed indignantly, ❝ You things make horrible actors… ❞

…But then he looked at this one’s helmet. Something about it was… Blank behind the eyes– well. This one looked like it had lights resembling eyes at least, and they gave Alad the idea that this Tenno was… not the brightest.

❝ …The Lotus didn’t tell you–? No. You weren’t expecting me here… at least not so soon. ❞

He was working out this one’s intentions as Zanuka paced around in a slow semi-circle. After a moment of dead air, that evil, knowing little smile returned to his face.

❝ I suppose it doesn’t matter. I’ve come to retrieve something out of this ship… My ship. My property. ❞

The tone of his voice grew angrier for a moment, as if to drive the point in to this Tenno’s head… But then it softened, putting on an inviting façade.

❝ If you behave, you may come with me, ❞ he said as Zanuka returned to his side, looking away from their uninvited guest. ❝ As you no doubt have seen, this wreck won’t be this stable forever. We need to work quickly, yes… And you, Volt, you know a thing or two about working quickly, no? ❞

At that, Zanuka turned her head up, her beady orange eyes oddly inquisitive as they met this Warframe’s own blue-lit lights.

The lenses in the optics shifted and focused in on Alad’s face. He didn’t appreciate this man’s attitude, this... mocking hostility. There had to be a reason behind it. Some history with him and the Lotus maybe?

Whatever it was, it could wait for now. He wanted to see what Alad V was here for, what his ‘property’ could be. Though he wasn’t fool enough to just throw his trust at the man. No. He would play along for now, let him think he was some dim henchman until he leaned more about him and his plans.

Lotus didn’t need to know.

He locked eyes with Zanuka as it looked at him, inclining his head slowly. Then he turned back to Alad, nodding as he lowered his pistol and straightened up fully and silently extended his hand.

@c0nr800

‘Connor’

The word drifted around the Android’s head, not to dissimilar as to when other androids spoke to each other and didn’t want to be heard. Though the messages from the strange thing laying in the alleyway sounded different, fainter, like the technology wasn’t quite compatible.

For all intensive purposes it looked like a robot, or a very elaborate costume. If it weren’t for the dark purple stain spreading from a hole punched through it’s leg.

‘an odd name.’

It moved to look up at him properly, multiple lenses in it’s blue optics shifting and refocusing on him. Slowly it raised it’s free hand, the other pressed to it’s wound.

‘Kel.’

-Connor was quick to get steady, not entirely minding the spillage. Getting dirty was one of Connors last concerns. Giving just a slight huff, he managed to get comfortably standing, now taking on the suggestion.-

“So, you’re comfortable with animals and have something we can use to cover you. That’s great! But now, we’ll need to find something to tote you around in. I don’t think we could just walk you down to Andersons home without being stopped and discovered..”

-He began to scan the area, taking it rather slow as he began to walk. He kept his eyes on the other as they began to move, making sure no pain or no heavier flow would occur.-

“Shouldn’t be too hard…”

‘I am sorry that I can’t be of much help in regards to suggestions. I haven’t seen much that would be of use in my time here... not that I remember...’

Kel tilted his head, thinking to himself. Something was missing, there were fragments of memory that just seemed... lost. This was a disturbing development. Maybe they would return in time. He hoped so, it would be interesting to know how he’d gotten here, and how he’d come by this injury.

He was pulled from his thoughts as Connor started moving, relying on the android to support him so he could keep the would stifled. Before he covered himself with the fabric he looked out at the main street again, at the cars and people moving about.

‘there are a number of vehicles around. Maybe one could be acquired?’

The Plains

Their hand quickly retreated back to their own spear as soon as he let go. More than a little startled by the tingling that passed through their arm. They glanced down at their palm, closing and opening a fist slowly and pondering the feeling as it started to fade. It didn’t hurt, not at all. But they weren’t certain if the feeling was entirely welcome either.

The Zephyr tapped their fingers across the fishing tool and looked down into the clear water. Even as the light faded they could make out the faint shimmer and glint of scales beneath the surface. He hadn’t completely fished everything up yet at least. Still plenty left for them to catch.

If only the Tenno’s nerves would allow them to be still for a minute.

They were only too aware of the stranger beside them, a stranger who already had accumulated quite a large catch of their own as proof of their skill. Raising the spear to hold it ready to throw, their body going through the motions slowly, giving an illusion of calm, unlike their racing thoughts.

Eyeing off a Charc eel creeping slowly under the gloom and shade of the rock they stood on. The faintly glowing amber markings along its side making it an easy target.

But they did not throw. Not yet. Anxiously they turned their head to check over their shoulder, to see if he was watching or not. They would hate to mess up their first throw while an audience watched on…

Kel did not watch them as they readied themselves. He knew that it could throw him off badly when he was under scruiteny, so he busied himself with checking those in the basket, seeing if there were any particular types he should try for more of.

He normally would have moved, leaving the tenno to their fishing alone, but a part of him wanted the company for a time. He couldn’t spend his life avoiding poeple entirely after all.

His optics turned to focus on the water around to the side, watching the fish there glide through the water so effortlessly. It made him think of the landing craft. Simlple and elegant. And so he waited, letting both the other tenno and himself get used to each other’s company for a moment as the sky continued to darken overhead.

[tinkeringtenno]

He bowed his head respectfully . ‘you too Elijah.’

Kel then did a broad gesture out around them, the movement made unnecessarily dramatic by the flowing fabric of his syandana following his movements. ‘What are you two doing out here? If you don’t mind me asking?’

He understood well the need for quiet away from others, but his curiosity wouldn’t allow him to not ask this question.

Elijah’s smile softened a little as he bowed his head as well, huffing a little as Dysis gently headbutted his stomach. Seems she was getting irritated with not having gotten any pets in the past couple minutes and was demanding to get some from the small Tenno. Spoiled brat. 

He tilted his head and watched as Kel made the swooping gesture with his arm, amused at the fact that the syandana made it all so much more dramatic than need be. But he just quietly pet his Charger while he thought of a good enough answer for the other Tenno. Hm… Honestly, he’d be best off just telling the truth, even if he may get a bit of ridicule for it. He knew that many Tenno followed the Lotus unquestionably and to have one of them to not do so and just do whatever he wanted a lot of the time… he didn’t know how Kel would react to that.

‘Honestly, I came out here to get some peace and quiet for once, and not to listen to the Lotus’ voice barking at me to do things. Plus, I wanted to get some fresh air and to play with Dysis without having to worry about crashing into anything aboard my Orbiter.”

[tempestkels]

Kel stood there for a moment, listening calmly to the other tenno’s words as Dysis demanded attention. He was surprised that Elijah came to avoid the voice of the lotus, as he too knew that most tenno would follow her without question.

He leaned forward slightly, like someone leaning into whisper a secret. ‘She does tend to harp on a bit sometimes doesn’t she? You would think we had earned a little quiet, especially to spend quality time with our dear companions.’

He completely understood where Elijah was coming from. That’s why he himself spent so much time out on the plains where he could ignore the Lotus whispering in his ear for a while.

‘Don’t worry. Your secret is safe with me.’

Kel had to admit he was impressed by her efficiency in dispatching the crewmen, the moa she had hacked serving her well and her own skills well practised. He needed to do little more than pop off any strays that may try to break from the pack to escape the moa and mag. 

It seemed maybe this was someone he would seek out to work with again after this? He would see how they continued to fare.

His helm twitched sharply as she spoke again, his grip on the pistol tightening as he flitted across to her side. A sharp wave of his hand and a barrier of crackling energy sprang up before them, one of the fuses on his shoulder blowing simultaneously. It could stop most projectiles and stun smaller enemies, but he wasn’t so sure of how it would stand to this as he watched the thing advance.

Still… He had other tricks up his sleeve.

He raised his other hand and a glittering arch of electricity launched from his hand, sending long twisting shadows across the walls in the flickering light as it struck it’s target. 

Its shield tried to resist , but he pushed on, another fuse blowing, then another, sparks falling from his frame and sizzling out at his feet as he stripped the shields away from the Bursa, the discharged energy coursing through it’s systems paralysing it… but not for long

Oh she’s dealt with her fair share of Bursas. As someone who frequently tries to do every mission and alert dealing with the Corpus, you tend to encounter the same proxies and faces. Dealing with a Bursa wasn’t necessarily impossible, but boy does she try to avoid it when she can. At least in this situation she had someone else on her back, which will make this ten times easier.

She glanced over to the Volt, they weren’t so different if she thought about it. Electricity, magnetism, it all played with the same output. Strip the shields and immobilize. I mean they don’t call it Electromagnetic Anomalies for a reason, it was a dangerous combo to come across. Though she still liked to believe she was a lot better at her job than most Frames have to talk.

 None the less, she was impressed. The Volt single handedly stripped the Bursa of it’s shields while keeping them shielded. However now came the tough part, that armor and health. Easiest to do was to shoot the thing in the back, but it was hard when it was hellbent on, well, not turning around.

The lightning bolt that arced and froze the Bursa wouldn’t work for long, she knew. Bursas were quite heartier than most of these Corpus proxies.

❝ Alright you stay here, I’ll draw it’s attention so you’ll have a better hit at it’s weak spot. Aim for it’s back. ❞

And off she sped, taking jabs at the Bursa and drawing fire. Voxx herself may have been relatively weak in terms of armor and health, but if she could just keep her overshields at a maximum, she’ll be fine. The Bursa, however, merely followed it’s programming and completely forgot that Kel existed, leaving itself entirely in the open.

[tempestkels]

Kel shot her a look, as though offended that she felt he needed telling what to do. He was no fool when it came to fights, no fool and no beginner either, his track record alone more than enough to prove that. Still, he kept this to himself and acted on her words as she drew the proxy’s attention away from him.

It’s shields were down and back turned to him. That was a good start. Armour next.

He pulled out his Paris, an old and simple weapon, but nonetheless one of his favourites, using it to punch through it’s armour plating as he manoeuvred himself closer, aiming for it’s joints to unbalance it. He would need to time this right, he didn’t have a lot of energy left to spare and if his own shields were brought down he’d be in trouble.

He bounded his way up a wall before pushing off hard, arching overhead of the proxy as he swapped out his Paris for a Galatine, clutching the blade as he used the downwards momentum to hit the robot, bringing the point straight down through it, metal creaking and tearing loudly leaving him with a good purchase on it. Then, just to be safe he put his hand on the metal under him and blasted as much electricity as he could manage through its systems, hoping to fry its internal wiring.

He was quiet while he watched the other Tenno and his Charger interact, a soft smile on his face. It couldn’t really be helped, honestly, with how adorable this current sight was. Dysis was acting like a puppy again as she stretched out with a loud, happy sounding groan. Elijah could understand the enthusiasm that the other held towards petting the Charger; he’d react the same way, after all. Just immediately kneeling down and holding a hand out to any animal he saw.

Damn, if only they could talk. Elijah was wracking his brain to try to think of an easier way for the two of them to communicate. Hm….. That’s it! 

He snapped his fingers with a grin before slowly signing, ‘Do you know sign language?’ to the other Tenno. He’d spent some time learning this language because of his best friend Tye, as precaution against if his hearing aid ever failed. Hopefully, this Tenno would know it.

Kels looked up at him as he suddenly snapped his fingers, looking at the grin for a moment before he realised what the other tenno was doing. He straightened up a bit, rather eagerly and immediately started signing back to him.

‘forgive me, I assume most do not understand this.’ He stood properly and continued ‘ I am kel.’

How long had it been since he had held a conversation with someone other than his cephalon? He couldn’t quite recall.

[tinkeringtenno]

Elijah’s grin only widened at seeing that Kel understood him and took a few seconds to decipher what the other Tenno had signed. He was still stuttery with sign language but he could understand it for the most part. He just needed a few moments to recognize the movements associated with words before he could respond.

‘It’s alright. I understand why you would assume that no one would know this. Not many do.’ He tilted his head a bit while he took a few moments to again understand what Kel had signed. ‘Nice to meet you, Kel. I’m Elijah.’

[tempestkels]

He bowed his head respectfully . ‘you too Elijah.’

Kel then did a broad gesture out around them, the movement made unnecessarily dramatic by the flowing fabric of his syandana following his movements. ‘What are you two doing out here? If you don’t mind me asking?’

@c0nr800

‘Connor’

The word drifted around the Android’s head, not to dissimilar as to when other androids spoke to each other and didn’t want to be heard. Though the messages from the strange thing laying in the alleyway sounded different, fainter, like the technology wasn’t quite compatible.

For all intensive purposes it looked like a robot, or a very elaborate costume. If it weren’t for the dark purple stain spreading from a hole punched through it’s leg.

‘an odd name.’

It moved to look up at him properly, multiple lenses in it’s blue optics shifting and refocusing on him. Slowly it raised it’s free hand, the other pressed to it’s wound.

‘Kel.’

[c0nr800]

“Oh don’t worry about weight. I have the ability to lift a few tons!.. I.. Think.”

-Connor wasn’t too sure. Nevertheless, he came over and got down, offering the other a spot in his awkward embrace for leverage. Now… Somewhere safe, and tools to seal the wound. Connor had a few ideas. But, first, it was most definitely the issue of the public eye at hand. How could they sneak him by without suspicion?-

“Do you think we could burn it shut? I think i know where to find a soldering tool. Or we could just heat up an axe blade.. Oh-! But don’t worry about a good place to hide, i know of a very isolated location that is currently not in use. …If you don’t mind human living spaces or animals…”

-Connor was told never to think about it, but he’s thinking about it. Back to the original issue, now.-

“Hmm.. It’s nowhere near Halloween, so we couldn’t pull off that plan. How would you feel about being covered in a sheet? Oor.. Carried in a wheel-barrel?”

[tempestkels]

‘Impressive.’

Kel gratefully accepted the androids help, positioning himself properly in his arms then relaxing again, covering the wound to stop it leaking on Connor too badly.

‘burning it shut should work for now, but precision will be required. As for living arrangements, animals do not bother me, I share my own habitat with one permanently.’

At the question his helm tilted. Thinking. 

‘we can use this?’

He unclipped his syandana from his shoulders, the cape of dark blue fabric coming loose. It would easily be enough to cover someone of his small stature.

-Connor’s never come across something like this before. Even his high tech scans weren’t enough to decipher this… Thing. At its voice, and at the remark of his name and mention of its own, Connor tilted his head and leaned on his weight, crinkling his nose from side to side before answering.-

“Interesting… Are you hurt?”

-Concerns first. He only asked because of the pressed wound, taking note of its possible state.-

“I don’t mean to be intrusive. I’m only a bit concerned.”

It lowered it’s hand again slowly, considering its answer as it looked down at the seeping wound. 

‘Yes… Though I fail to recall quite how this occurred.”

It didn’t seem to be feeling pain though, quite calm considering the circumstances it found itself in. It looked back up at him as he voiced his concerns. 

‘It can be repaired. But I do not know if there are such facilities or tools in this place to patch it. And if there are I am afraid that walking is currently out of the question.’

[c0nr800]

-Connor understood the situation. He seemed quite used to dealing with wounded, yet non-feeling subjects. But… That seems to be the only thing he’s used too in this scenario.-

“I don’t need to know the cause, but I’d like to help out if i could!”

-He spoke with a hopeful tone. His goals seem to have conflict in his mind, as his programming is after information on this.. Creature. While his personal goal is merely to help. He wont let anyone know of either, though.-

“If you’d like, i could assist you in mobility? I could carry you?”

[tempestkels]

‘your help would be appreciated, Connor. I should not be too heavy I think.’

He tried to push himself into a better position to get up, but his movements were slow and awkward, clearly a great effort too do so as energy crackled along the lines of his body.

‘I require somewhere safe to assess the damage, and access to tools... hmm... I am not sure if the tools required are here... something to seal it shut. internal systems should fix the rest.’

Looks out to the opening of the alleyway... There were a lot of humans about. He wondered if his presence would cause too much of a stir...

The initial hotness in her helm wore off as the other Tenno seemed… To not quite care really. She’s never encountered a lot of Tenno so she didn’t really know where they stood with, well, hacking four million MOAs and calling it a night. But none the less, they had to persist. This was an exterminate mission. She had to stay focus on task. Quickly looking over the MOAs she began trotting along with her Quanta Vandal in hand.

The rambunctious group of robots and ninjas reached the next room, crawling in Corpus. Now, Voxx has only triggered the alarms twice this entire run. Once accidentally letting a Corpus slip past her, and a second by accidentally busting the windows and locking herself in a storage closet in the process.

She glanced at the MOAs that beeped and peeped behind her. Good, they’re not charging in head first this time. With a raise of her right arm, a large pulse echoed out from her, hitting each Corpus and knocking them to the ground. Some stayed there, and some struggled to get back up. And that’s where she pounced.

Dozens of MOAs descended on the crewmen barely clinging to life as she started frying their heads with the persistent laser of the Quanta. And in seconds, the room was swept.

She glanced over to the Tenno accompanying her, she didn’t really need help of course, she was a Mag, they work best against Corpus. But she appreciated a little help for the… Tougher, folk.

                                       ‘ The alarms triggered a Bursa. ’

Oh, she forgot to hack the alarm from earlier.

❝ Heads up, we’ve got company. ❞

Kel had to admit he was impressed by her efficiency in dispatching the crewmen, the moa she had hacked serving her well and her own skills well practised. He needed to do little more than pop off any strays that may try to break from the pack to escape the moa and mag.

In terror Ordis followed the little Grineer make a mad dash towards the consoles. It looked… special. It could only be described as disproportionate, its armour wiggling and rattling, giving it the appearance of a strange and ugly two-legged turtle. Somewhere deep down he even felt… pity? The Grineer weren’t known for their good looks, for sure, but this was something else entirely. Just what went down in those laboratories, if something like this could be produced? Forgotten anger raised its ugly head in the depths.

”I was thinking it looked rather intelligent for a Grineer,” Ordis sneered. “No — don’t you dare touch the foundry! In fact, don’t touch anything at all. Operator, please!”

The foundry continued creating the Operator’s blades, the arm spinning as fast as it could without losing accuracy. The Operator deserved the best and only the best. The Cephalon targeted the Grineer, watching its every move. If it as much as grazed any surface, Ordis would know. Maybe even poke it with the foundy’s mechanical arm.

“Too sl– the depravity!” He felt insulted. “Ordis knows the Grineer aren’t famous for their precision nor intelligence, so allow me to explain. These things require accuracy. Good taste… Operator, Ordis isn’t certain it understands.”

He was slowly coming to terms with the fact the Operator wasn’t going to chuck the Grineer out of the airlock any time soon. Disappointed, he continued to supervise the foundry.

“What does it want, Operator? Other than break my sensors with its… BLOODCURDLING screams. Maybe it’s sick - wwwE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE - oh… should Ordis try to scan it? And then we can let it go?”

Kels couldn’t deny he was somewhat amused by his cephalon’s reaction to the Grineer, part of him wanting to see how far a yelling match between them would go. However his amusement was dashed as the clanking little thing pulled a tool out of it’s armour and made another dive at the foundry, finding an access panel and getting it off way too quickly than he should have been able to.

The Tenno made a grab for it, hands grasping the oversized back piece of it’s carapace, lifting the grineer straight upwards away from the foundry.

This interruption set the grineer wiggling and tittering away in his grip before it stopped and looked down at its toes dangling above the ground.

“No NO! I can heLP! I have sKILLS TAlenTS- did YOu say I was Sick?”

It’s manner of speaking was broken and pitchy, it’s voice cracking and breaking constantly even when it wasn’t screaming.

‘...I think scanning it is not such a bad Idea...’The more we learn of it the better.’ Kels also had a feeling that it wouldn’t be wise to return this defect to the grineer.

‘However letting it wander the ship now is out of the question. Ordis, can you keep an eye on the quarters if I keeping quarantined in them?’

Elijah nodded to show that he understood before simply laying a hand on Dysis’ head to show that everything was okay. She’d been rather protectively standing in front of the Tenno but upon being given the sign that things were going to be fine, she calmly laid down at Eli’s feet, stomach up to the small Operator. She was spoiled rotten, that much was obvious, and was practically begging for belly rubs from either one of the two of them. 

It took a few seconds for the other Tenno’s meaning to catch with Elijah but he nodded again once he had, idly tossing the bit of armor from hand to hand while he waited for the individual to join them. He may be wary but he was also curious as hell, considering he hadn’t really had the chance to meet many Tenno.

The moment he got approval he came closer, energy crackling across his frame as the charger lay down and rolled over, he looked at Elijah first then bent down to rub the beast’s belly. There was so much enthusiasm in his body language, his love for animal companions hard to miss.

He should have brought his Sasha...

Once again he looked up at him. Kel wanted to speak to them, properly, but his silent frame couldn’t express this in the way he desired. He just hoped they understood. He was just curious, it was rare that he interacted with other tenno at all, especially outside of the cities or missions.

[pastelgodmag-blog]

@tempestkels

Many Tenno seemed to be in the same boat upon awakening from cryo-stasis. Knowing nothing and only following the voice of the Lotus as their sole purpose of existing. No past or memory to plague your thoughts when you’re too busy tearing through flesh and metal in the name of justice and righteousness. 

Voxx normally found herself alone in the Origin System however, no matter how many Tenno there seemed to be. She was always by herself in her missions. Not that she minded of course, she could hold her own in a fight. Especially against Corpus. Grineer and Infested not so much, but at least she could strip Grineer of their primitive armor and Corpus of their simple shield technology. 

She glided and slid through the air, her movements quite majestic and gentle for a cold blooded killer. Popping off Corpus helmets and heads left and right. Disabling enemy robots where they stood. However, the Mag Prime paused for a moment, staring at the softly glowing lights of a MOA locker.

She then proceeded to look behind herself at the ten Shockwave MOAs that followed.

Oh well, one more couldn’t hurt.

Quickly hacking the MOA locker, another large orange proxy was dropped out, gathering itself and looking at Voxx like she lead them, which she did. Use the Corpus’s technology against them. However, she froze upon hearing the sounds of vents moving and the soft ‘thump’ of body meeting ground. She looked over to see another Warframe who had dropped from the ceiling, clearly here to help sweep the Corpus ship and exterminate all who’s in it. Well, this is the first time someone’s actually came to join her, for once. However that still didn’t stop the underlying embarrassment of, well, being caught dilly-dallying and gathering an army of bird robots.

❝ I… Can explain. ❞

He sneaked his way through the sprawling vent system, following the signal of another tenno on his internal navigation. He almost never took on missions with others, they tended to get in his way, or get him caught with their excessive noise. Still, every now and then he took one in the hopes that this time maybe things would be different.

Here.

He found the exit he was after, and expertly removed the grate with a well practised kick.

Kel dropped from the vent with a dull ‘thmp’ on the hard ground, his helm turning up sharply to face her when she spoke, at once started by her voice, and his optics focusing on the small army of moa behind her. He had hacked Moa himself in his time, but this seemed... excessive. Still, each to their own he supposed as he straightened up, though he wondered how many alarms she had set off doing this. 

He raised his hand in a silent greeting, also a gesture that she needn’t explain to him. It didn’t matter, and if she felt the need she could explain it later.

Kel motioned for her to continue with what she was doing, drawing his Sicarus. He wouldn’t interfere with her tactics here, he would watch her back as he had intended to when he took on this mission.
