"It's a surprise. [i]Definitely[/i] a surprise."
-
[i]"Ooh, I can't wait to see it then." [/i]
-
"Don't worry," [i]Thebes would playfully kiss Meghan on the cheek then.[/i] "We should definitely find your friend, though, assuming that he hasn't moved out of this hole. Yet."
-
[i]"Yeah, he's just outside the city." And so Meghan drove out of the city's perimeter, making her way down a series of hills and soon the two found themselves at a rather large cavern. The cave radiated darkness and energy; Hive, something that the two wouldn't expect from Tatakai of all places. [/i]
-
"Hive shit.. seriously." [i]Thebes muttered, her fist tightening a little as she would step out of the car and stared at the cave in silence. It was as if she was reminiscing on something, from her years serving the Traveler. Now, she didn't know if she did or not.[/i]
-
[i]"Yeah. Polaris has something of an obsession with them. He always said that when his service to the Traveler was done, he would truly find out what their connection to the Darkness was. And when Ghaul shitstomped him, he... Well, he'd probably tell you." Meghan took the first steps into the long dark of the caverns. The way down started off as if it was an expedition, with crates and lanterns lighting the way, but it digressed into just torches and scribbled papers tacked into the walls. They eventually made way to the campsite where Polaris rested his head, and it looked, surprisingly, quite human. Crates and tables littered the wide room, which appeared to have a few lights on each wall to illuminate it. A small orange tent was near the back of the room, situated beside a generator but not too close; There was a rustiling inside, and a small phrase coming from within. [b]"Damn you, Juju, where did I leave you...?" [/b][/i]
-
"Obsession, huh.." [i]The Titan would murmur to herself, while her previously tensed form would resume a more relaxed shape, and even then it was hard to tell if she had calmed herself in the Hive-like tunnel. Though, the Warlock's encampment would settle her down, seeing that Polaris hadn't indulged into the Hive too far. For now, anyway. Thebes didn't necessarily find the thought of another Toland to be superb, even with his findings.[/i]
-
[i][b]"Found you. Ghost, transmat the Bad Juju to the ship when we're outside." [/b] [u]"I will."[/u] The Warlock came out of the tent just then, as all the lights in the room seemed to shine on him. The blue-armoured Guardian looked to Meghan and Thebes with curiosity in his eyes, which flickered between colours, going from orange to blue and then to purple. His long, white hair flowed down to his shoulders, parted at the centre of his head to display his face for all. In his back were his main weapons, the Bad Juju and Khvostov, while his hip carried the revolver Hawkmoon. In his hands was a long blade, one of Hive make: It's power radiated from it, and all of the three in the room felt their Light dullen at the presence of it. [b]"Meghan,"[/b] Polaris said, greeting the Titans. "Polaris. I need your help." [b]"When don't you?"[/b] "Are you still pissed about that thing in the EDZ? Because if the Hunter could calm down, surely you could too." [b]"You asked him to provide overwatch on a sniper from a hill. I had to blow up a Cabal warship from within."[/b] "I was there!" [u]"Barely," [/u]Polaris' Ghost commented, sparking up beside him. [b]"You were outside taking on, like, six Cabal! You didn't even kill twenty before I took the thing down!"[/b] "And now you're a legend in the Cabal books. Anyways, just hear Thebes out on what she needs, okay?" [b]"Fine. Tell me, Thebes, what is you you want?"[/b][/i]
-
"First off - morning, Polaris." [i]Thebes would take a wild guess at what the time was, seeing as it was roughly midnight when Meghan had encountered her fellow Awoken Titan out in the mountains. Thebes would allow a more relaxed posture to take control, seeing as she could get more out of Polaris that way. He was alright, to her: anyone that at least fought Cabal was.[/i] "Came out here to see if you could help with a few bodily enhancements, or point us in the right direction of a few. Augmentations to bolster my physical capacity."
-
[i]"Why would you want augmentations? You have the Light, just make what you want and create a new type of it." [/i]
-
"Yeah, and be rendered useless when another fuсkin' Ghaul comes along. I'm talking about packing a punch and mixing abilities with it. Punching through walls on a regular basis, and punching through Colossi whenever it comes to that. I want a new meaning behind Titans, Warlocks, and Hunters - not some damned space soldiers with magic powers: actual forces of nature, actual Guardians. You feel me?"
-
[i]"You like power, don't you? I like you already," Polaris said. Each time he spoke it was with a certain aura about it. Not like how Meghan always spoke in a captivating manner, but it was more like he was making an announcement than a statement. "Well I can't get back to Asher Mir anytime soon, but perhaps you could seek out the roboticist in Dojoville. There's apparently a cowboy who can install augmentations, but I don't know how it will work with your Light and all - Maybe if you die, you won't revive with the new limbs." [/i]
-
"The idea will be to not die, then. Though I could look into imbuing Light into a machine, as Exos seem to be infused with Light - quick note, I have no idea on how that works, nor how Exos work with the Light. Then it would just be a matter of dying - then seeing if I'm a fuсkin' war machine or a blue nugget." [i]Thebes had seemingly put some thought into it, going quiet before looking back at Polaris. [/i] "Thank you, though. And hey, you want a taste of power too.. come along for the ride. Let the rest of those asshole Guardians in Dojoville be powerless when the big floating orb blows up, though an army of amped-up Guardians.. would be nice."
-
[spoiler]Meghan disapproves (-15)[/spoiler] [i]"Whoa whoa whoa, Polaris - You left for a reason. Do you think Davos would've wanted you to continue going with us?" Meghan interjected, giving Thebes a disapproving look. It wasn't her fault for not knowing of Meghan's distaste for Polaris, but she still didn't exactly love the idea of the Warlock coming with the two of them. [b]"Davos isn't around to argue, now is he? His stupidity and going alone was what put him in a coma. Besides, if there's a way for me to gain, I'll take it." [/b] Polaris grinned maliciously and glared at Meghan. There was something going through his head, he knew that this was a great opportunity to torture the Titan from his old Fireteam one last time. [b]"It's settled, I'll join you two." [/b][/i]
-
"...You two must have a particularly interesting background. We'll.. talk about it, later, if y'all want." [i]Between Meghan's apparent disapproval and that scheming grin that had made way across Polaris' face, Thebes figured that the sooner that she had got moving, the better. She initially didn't approve of him. Hell, she disapproved of most Warlocks, but Polaris.. could be of use to her.[/i]
-
[i][b]Polaris led the trio out of the cave, since he knew them the best undeniably. [/b][/i]
-
"So.. how long have you two known each other?" [i]An awkward question, but Thebes needed to know these people.[/i]
-
[i]"You remember the House of Wolves? We did a few jobs for them and I stuck to Polaris and our buddy, Davos." [/i]
-
"Woah woah woah. The [i]actual[/i] House of Wolves? Or the Reef?"
-
[i]"Both. The Wolves before they turned on the Reef and the Awoken - I knew them from a few things I did for Petra and the Queen before that whole thing." [/i]
-
"Mm." [i]Thebes couldn't help herself but dwell on that fact for a bit. She only respected Petra in the Reef, but she hated the Wolves with a burning passion.[/i]
