"Don't do the sir thing. Just Marker." He said with a shake of the head as they walked down the hallway
[spoiler]-Ask him why he never takes off his armour
-Talk about something else [/spoiler]
English
-
"I know, I'm just yanking your chain." he says as they walk. "... But hey, what's a name without a face?" he says, looking directly at Marker's visor.
-
"My helmet is my face. No reason you need to see anything else." [spoiler]-Pursue the question -Change the topic [/spoiler]
-
"Come on! I don't mean to pry but... Has [i]anybody[/i] seen your [i]actual[/i] face? What if you have to sneeze or - or blow your nose?" Cylus asks. "These are legitimate questions." he adds
-
"I don't get sick. Only five people have seen my face. My two brothers, my father, my mother, and Jack Cooper. And Cooper only saw it when he gave me the armour I'm wearing now."
-
"Well... How do you [i]eat?[/i] In the dark where nobody sees you? Because that's weird."
-
"I eat in my room, alone usually. I prefer the calm air of silence with the mix of my music." Marker said as the two entered the main area with Galactic map from before Even with all those planets on the map, it looked empty of systems and more... [spoiler]-Pursue the question -Change topics to something else [/spoiler]
-
"Those planets, huh? Gets you thinking. Sometimes just makes you want to [i]take your helmet off and breathe.[/i]" Cylus says in a hurried breath. He sounded like a child trying to figure out what his parents were getting him for his birthday.
-
[spoiler]Marker will remember that...[/spoiler] "Listen, maybe one day, when you're not just my brother in Arms, but my brother, when you've truly earned the name. You'll see why I never take it off." Marker sighed a bit sadly, looking down "Shit happened before I joined the Militia. I was a mess. Wrong crowds. Bad choices. You know how it is."
-
Edited by BondyMilk: 6/17/2017 4:32:31 AM"Well then I guess I'll leave you be. But just know, you're a walking enigma Marker. More so than I am. And know that I'll look forward to the day where you see me as more than just a comrade in battle."
-
"What's the point of a mystery if you know all the answers? Can't learn anything at that point." Marker said with another sigh.
-
"Absolutely right. And I don't mean to be [i]this guy,[/i] but then I guess you could say that life is a whole mystery in itself."
-
"Maybe it is. I wouldn't doubt it." "After all, normality is just an illusion. Normal for a spider, would be utter chaos for the fly it catches." The two stepped out the headquarters, into the chilly air of the Mountains "Not to mention the whole mess up of timelines. Hell of a thing."
-
"Definitely. I think the answers lie in time, perspective, and awareness." Cylus comments as they step out the doors. "Infinite universes, all occupying the same space... Just in different times and in different eyes. Insane."
-
"You know, you should talk to Zora. Real mysterious figure that appears every now and then in the dojo. Calls herself a "Guardian" of time or something." The duo walked down the street of the base village, which was oddly devoid of Alliance troopers. Only Militia forces were seen in the vicinity
-
"I'll keep that in mind." Cylus says. He looks around and finds the absence of operatives to be odd. "What's going on over here?"
-
"Alliance troopers been pulling out all day and night. It was that battle announced in the dropship yesterday." Marker said as the two approached the landing area
-
"I see. Remind me again, Cerberus is from the Alliance timeline, correct?"
-
"Yeah. Cerberus, Alliance, Reapers, Geth, Turians, Asari and other assorted Factions and such come from what we call the "Mass Effect" Timeline." "Militia, and IMC come from the "Titanfall" timeline."
-
"And I'm Cylus. From Earth." Cylus adds, obviously ammusing himself
-
"You had any large empires or anything in your timeline?" Marker asked, as the two boarded the dropship from yesterday
-
[spoiler]I guess you could say Cylus comes from a version of combined comic book universes that I kind of made in my head[/spoiler] "No big empires really, only citites that seemed to be under siege a lot. Like New York and what not..." Cylus says in thought. "But we did have a lot of people with some whack-ass powers. We even had an alien we called [i]Clark[/i]. I called him boy scout."
-
[spoiler]Nice...[/spoiler] "Ah. You come from a different timeline. Zora called it "Comicverse" Last time I saw her. Which was a few weeks ago. "
-
"Comicverse? Interesting... Because in my timeline we had comics not too far from what I'm seeing here. Maybe some sort of [i]Mandela Effect.[/i]" Cylus says.
-
"We got comics depicting super heroes that save cities from Wild villains. Apparently, there's a universe where us and The alliance come from videogames. It's all out of whack."
-
"Huh, that's some next level shit. Maybe this Zora figure is the key to what I'm talking about. Some sort of super awareness."
