“What would the Guardians like!? A weapon, armour..golden age tech? A Cloud Strider Hover board?!” Nimbus exclaimed sitting in front of a monitor.. “Have you not heard? Nearly every Guardian is flying around on those boards. Skimmers they call them.” Osiris walked over to his corner of the room and returned to his meditation. “Yeah..you’re right.” Nimbus slumped over the monitor he stood at on the opposite side of the Pouka Pond room. “But the hoverboards are…” “Nimbus, the Guardians do not want your hoverboard.” Osiris said diminishing Nimbus’ hope. Nimbus dropped his head down dramatically and sighed deeply. Osiris opened his eyes and glared in Nimbus’ direction. Osiris: “Nimbus what is it you are trying to achieve here?” Nimbus: “I dunno, I just want the Guardians to like me. I figured maybe if I gave them something cool they’d like me again.” Osiris: “Again? Osiris asked, confused by his statement.” Nimbus: “Well yeah.” Nimbus replied with all the confidence he had. He continued, “When you Guardians first showed up, you loved it here. Everybody thought I was this cool [i]Cloud Strider[/i].” Nimbus came out from behind his monitor and pretended to fly on his hoverboard and said, “I came in on my board and saved the Guardian from a massive Cabal ambush.” Nimbus dismounted from his imaginary hoverboard, rolled and kicked an imaginary Cabal. Osiris: “If I recall correctly, you and ‘Rohan’ aided the Guardian.” “That might have happened…” Nimbus shrugged it off and continued. “But Osiris, the Guardians used to love it here..now all they do is complain about how the enemies are too strong, or how the loot is too hard to get. They’re bored…and I don’t even see the Guardian anymore.” Osiris: “Hmm..so you want the Guardians to like you and Neomuna?” Nimbus: “Well yeah!” Osiris: “Guardians like loot. They like chasing after something new. You were on the right track.” Nimbus: “I was?” Osiris: “Not with the hover boards, no.” Nimbus slumped his head down again. “However,” Osiris started, “You said a weapon at the start, did you not?” Nimbus: “Yeah.” Osiris: “Well start there. An Exotic weapon perhaps.” Osiris walked over to the Pouka Pond as he continued to brainstorm. “We’re on Neomuna and this is where we discovered Strand..an Exotic Strand weapon would be appropriate. You could manifest a quest and clues all over Neomuna..get the Guardians to rediscover Neomuna.” “Yeah I like that.” Nimbus said as he stationed himself at his monitor. “The weapon type doesn’t matter per-say. A power weapon might be preferred.” Osiris grabbed his chin with his right and clutched his right arm with his left. He thought for a moment, talking to himself.. [i]“..It could be any weapon archetype since there currently isn’t many Exotic Strand weapons…as long as it isn’t a Rocket Launcher, the Guardians have several..”[/i] Osiris turned to address Nimbus, “Might I suggest..” “How about a rocket launcher?!” Nimbus blurted out behind his monitor already drawing up weapon perk ideas. “Uh, very well..” Osiris said, accepting Nimbus’ path of inspiration. Osiris walked over to Nimbus to examine what ideas he had jotted down. Osiris continued, “There may be several Exotic Rocket Launchers but I suppose this would be the first ‘Exotic Strand Rocket Launcher.’ “What will you call it?” Osiris asked in curiosity. Nimbus paused a moment, smiled and said, “Im thinking of calling it…” [b]Name: Neo Algorithm[/b] Strand Rocket Launcher Tagline: [i]Inspire the masses and shall come.[/i] Intrinsic Trait Entanglement: Pull R trigger to shoot a slow velocity projectile. Rapid final blows creates a tangle. Weapon Perk Adaptive Algorithm: Hold reload to collect and convert tangles into rocket launcher ammo and load 1 round into the chamber. (Firing cylinder) Catalyst - Code Breaker: Adaptive Algorithm rounds causes projectiles to suspend targets within blast radius. Yes, Neo Algorithm is kinda like Tessellation, but I thought of Neo before I even knew Tessellation was a thing. I just imagined the reload animation of picking up a tangle and slamming it into a rocket launcher haha thought that would be cool. Also, note how it intrinsically shoots a slow projectile, I thought it would pair nicely with a grapple grenade to take you to places reliably.
