The hie begens as they cross over the snowy feilds. Nothing fo note is seen untill they see very light footprints in the snow ahead of them
"Looks like we will have trorble up ahead, be ready to fight"
Eir pulls out her Karambit, and spins it into position. She prepares to engage while the knife sparks with electricity
[i]They keep hiking ntill they reach the complex. its very clear that someone's been here recently. Once inside murmering is heard for deeper below. theres a shrot hallway before the elvator and roberson gesters for Eir to check the left side of the hallway and any doors whille he and riply will check the right. On the left theres only one door with a scracthedoff nameplate /i]
Eir sets her hand on the door lightly, using her powers to sense all electrical signals and movements through the room.
the door opens and the rebal soiler quickly closes the door. roberson and riply don't seem to otice as they exame the other rooms from behind the door a scared voice comes in
"Do-Do-DONT COME IT I WILL WI- SHOOT!"
Eir kicks in the door and uses her powers to hold the man perfectly still. Eir casually takes his weapon and field strips it in front of him before gutting him.
"You can command others and take their freedoms, but I won't let you take my freedom."
Upon finishing up there investgatsion Riply and robersn walk over and see what Eir has done. Riply wishpers to Roberson who looks a little shocked.
"alright alright, What. Where. You. THINKING! He could had HAD VAULBLE INFROMATION! WHAT IF HE WAS ON GAURD DUTY AND WAS SUPPOSEDTO R-"
Ironicly the dead mans com goes off
Comm: "Uitzilopochtli come in, everythingalright?"
Roberson mumbles under his breath as he tryes to think of a way out of this
Eir picks it up and holds it to the guards mouth, using his body to speak.
"Everything is alright, thought I heard something. False alarm."
Eir simply looks back up "He can still report."
Comm: "alright let us know if everyhtigns alright at the next schudle point"
Roberson sighs in relf, As riply wisphers somthing to him, he respons very in atense sort of voice
"RIPLY! Look she broke protcal, but that doenst mean we can do THAT!"
Riply crosses her arms before accpecting Roberson's postion and just glaring at Eir
"Alright Guess the only way now is down, riply will keep us hidden while we retrive the object. No killing unless we are spoted. UNDERSTOOD?"
"Fine, no killing unless necessary." Eir takes the comm and clips it to her belt. She cleans the blade of her knife and puts it away.
Riply hides them as they enter the elavtor. Once down the doors never apper to open due to the iullsion ro riply and robersn just walk through. On the other side there's quite a few of Quetz's men digging through old fileing cabents and downloading data all without a care in the world. Roberson motions that they head towards a door that seems to be un opened with a stragne sygil on it
Eir feels the electricity around her, not interfering with it, just gauging how much is being used by the men around her. She then feels the electricity flowing through the people themselves to gauge just how many there are before she walks faster to catch up.
Roberson then opens the door whicth appers closed before quicly being followed by riply. Inside sits an uponed breifcase. Riply quikcly exames it before nodding
"alright we have the target we need to head out and ready ourselves for extraction"
"Well, considering you're so good at keeping a low profile, that won't be an issue."
"Look we have to do what the mission demands. And here isn't the time to kill everyone."
yet agian almost ironically the door opens and Quetz himself walks in
Quetz: "Oh, Oh dear"
He Quickly shuts the door and screaming is heard and roberson mumbles and glares at riply who shurgs
"Guess now IS the time to kill everyone, expect for quetz as standing orders are to take him alive"
"Well, let's get to it."
Eir exits the room, and throws knives into several men, causing them to stiffen up before they attack their own. Eir herself runs forward to chase Quetz, and completely fries several rebels as they attempt to stop her.
Quetz quickly throws some ore of roating shpere at Eir. The shpere begins to change as if it was horde of ants crawling forth. withen a second there is a perfect copy of eir standing before her that takes a postion to counter her. Roberson tries to make it towards Eirt help out but he gets ambushed by anget gamma of the purblen nations. Riply whp has clocked herself and taken down a few of UA forces reaches Quetz who from he's arm shoots a net made of of engery being arced, this then shoocks riply enpough to kock her out
Roberson: "RIPLY!"
Roberson in his panic of seeing riply being hurt leaves himself open for Gamma to attack him. cuasing him to stumble, He regains his footing and tresto fight gamma
Eir calls her puppets towards her for support as she attempts to overload her copy with electricity.
It seems to just take the charge into itself with no effect outside of the ullsio melting a bit to show its the same riving mass as before. Roberson Tackles Gamma and takes him down before landing a punch that makes a very audiable crunch and the amror covering gama's arm just shatters showing his twisted and mangled remains of an arm. Gama screams in pain as roberson runs over to try and recover riply. He stops when he see's quetz holding out a pistol over her head.
Quetz: Truce? you get your breifcase and your life. I get a prisanor
Roberson looks terrorfied and cofused as Quetx picks up riply's body still holding the gun to her.
Roberson: "Ei- Eir head out
Quetz: No sudden movements eather just make it to the elevator and leave, toodles!
Eir doesn't like it, but she does as she's told. She doesn't let go of her knife at all however, keeping a tight grip on it as she moves slowly.
Quetz: Keep going or else
He shoves the gun deeper into riply skin and roberson makes it to the evelator with the briefcase waiting for eir
Eir takes her knives out of her puppets before entering the elevator. They collapse to the ground, dead.
The door closes as whatever the copy of eir was turns back into a shpere for Quetz to pick up. While going up roberson is in full mental break down mumbling to himself and cluching the breifcase. Once up he is on the verge of tears exiting the compond
Eir doesn't know how to respond to Roberson's actions. She thinks of what to say, but it'd all come out wrong, perhaps it's better to stay focused on the mission, but then again, the loss of a teammate already doesn't reflect well on her, how much more might it reflect badly if she can't comfort a teammate after a loss? Is it her fault Ripley got captured? Perhaps she wasn't fast enough, perhaps she should have focused harder on Quetz as opposed to creating body puppets out of the enemies. Eir begins spinning her butterfly knife nervously, she's not looking forward to any performance reviews. It's her fault Ripley's gone. It's her fault, all of it. Just like back when- Her mind goes blank, what was she thinking about again. Eir freezes up, no longer moving. Her face is expressionless. The knife cuts her hand before it falls out of her hand.
Roberson doesnt seem to notice at first ciaght up in his own mumblings about the loss before he turns.
"Move, time running out must achive the mission"
His whole deminer has changed from bing likable and presenting himself as someone whose got it figured out to that of a man with one objective. The thoughts in his head are of pure sarrow as riply was everything to him and a piler of his life he had allways depended on from when he was child. And then when she got hurt and lost her voice he wa sthere to comfert and defend her from the bulllies. To when they where asigned to the same sqaud and captued those legiion forces trying to cross the border and discoered tehre CO was a tratoir. everthing in his life has been about protecting her, without her he is nothing but a shell of a man unable to focus
