"Well, great to see you again, Cassiopeia! Good luck!" He zipped away.Ĭassiopeia watched him disappear into the horizon. Then Obsidian spoke up, his words coming quickly. There was silence for a full three seconds. It's gone forever, now! ~consume: FAILURE replicate:FAILURE enhance:FAILURE~" ![]() "I'm great! Something got in me but the Light ~if (LIGHT) then WARNING~ burned it away. No one was alive down there, though."Ĭassiopeia's scan of the new Ghost returned nothing amiss. "I was beneath the Blind Watch for a while. "Hello, you two! I'm glad ~identify(OBSIDIAN)~ to see a friendly face! I haven't been myself lately." Two Ghosts within twenty meters and she didn't sense either one? Something was off. A lot more of us are starting to find our Guardians latel- what's that?"Ĭassiopeia resolved to run a full-range self-diagnostic before the next grid. "You should be! I was just at the City last year. But I haven't been looking on Mars for that long, at least! I'm optimistic." I guess you haven't found yours yet?"Ĭassiopeia projected glumness. She didn't even pick up on another Ghost being this close. So numb after months with just her own scans for company. There wasn't really anything new other than the delta to sea level, but at less than 30% of the way through 2^128 scans, even a distinction without a difference could feel like a brand new shell. Two more scans and she could move on to the elevated grid. Needs work." Skorri picks up the pen again. "'The Dregs are blinded, Jolder's powered up / she rushes in and splits the group in half.' Huh. The young one still looks mad as he leaves. The rest come out of the cave, take out the Captain, Felwinter finishes off the south group with a Bomb, everything else is candy." You hopefully don't trip over your cloak like you did back at the Flood Zone, but I'm not optimistic. I come in with Radiance, Dregs are blinded, Jolder's powered up, she rushes in, splits 'em in half. Two shots to the Servitor, draw their attention up. "Hunters up top, 11 o'clock on the ridge. "A lot of people are relying on us, Skorri. "Have you forgotten about the ambush tomorrow? Or are you too busy writing limericks?" "You know, Skorri, some of us have real work to do."Īnother Iron Lord. Gheleon closes his eyes, turns, walks out. "Change the- are you kidding me? Why don't YOU just change to using a. "You're STILL working on the Iron Song? Why don't you just change the meter if it bothers you so much?" Hey, I don't suppose you'd be willing to cut out your name's second syllable?" "A quick death is preferable to the alternative." "I thought you were supposed to be the careful one. That goes without- hey, Gheleon, what's the rush?" Known the old man too long to leave him out. Skorri doesn't notice them enter or leave. One rolls her eyes at Skorri, splayed on the couch. Two more Iron Lords walk through, all business. Too on the nose? He does have a nice nose." "Maybe something about that shield? Keeps everything out, keeps everyone out, protects himself so he can't get hurt? Hmm. She picks up the pen again, fiddles with it, stares up at the ceiling. Plus, there's no room for Silimar in there, except for his shield." Perun laughs despite herself, shakes her head, leaves. "Of course I did! You're iambic! You give me something to work with! Mmm, we do work well together." "Did you just make that up right as I walked in here?" "Why couldn't the other Iron Lords have followed your lead, huh? 'Perun, in shadow clad, behind the shield / through cleansing fire our hiding foes revealed'." Perun strides in, a rifle under each arm. Hell, even Efrideet, not that she's likely to get a verse now. Skorri puts the pen in her teeth and crumples up a piece of paper. "This would be a lot easier if you all had run your names by me before you got 'em." ![]()
