Canon is Destiny

It’s pretty easy to see your problem, kid. You overthink things. As far as I can see, you overthink everything. Even you know that. That’s why you need me, right?

…Come to think of it, that’s probably why you keep implying things about why I act the way I do. Do me a favour, would you? Don’t get wrapped up in that pile of scrap.

Point is, if you see a clear shot, just take it. You’ll make it a hell of a lot easier for me to do my job.

Why not luck? It went down first. [ Her tone suggests a grin. ] Thanks. Pinning them down was the hard part, and things got… messy both times. Part of the fun.

A Gorgon, though… that’s impressive! [ Her eyes flare brighter just thinking about it. ] It must have taken some fire to crack that one! And speed- seems like those Vex are a special order of slippery. [ Fallen duck and run; wizards bob about like evil screaming balloons, but rewriting the rules is just. Cheating. ] How was it to fight?

[opentheway]

That isn't luck--[he laughs a little]--that's skill and a proper bit of measured aggression. [Anyways, the exo scratches his head a little then folds his arms.] While we were fighting it, it was one of the most exhilarating things I'd ever experienced, but in retrospect... maybe not as exciting as it sounds. It was so busy trying to erase us from existence that it didn't fight back like a usual Harpy; gave us enough time to put it down.

Don't tell me you're disappointed! Maybe next time they'll have some new tricks ready - give you a real challenge.

[opentheway]

Definitely not disappointed--and rushing to kill something before it can erase me from the very planes of existence is plenty of a challenge. I just meant that it might not have been the most exciting tale of battle... or perhaps the most exciting thing to watch, ha.

[ teasing ] That's what happens when yo have things go to plan. Good thing ours isn't the kind of work you stand around to watch.

[opentheway]

True that! [He can't even imagine bringing a non-combatant into the Vault to spectate. That would be the worst idea in the history of... pretty much ever, he thinks.] Ah, I just realized I never introduced myself. My apologies... my exo designation is Argosy-00, though I prefer to simply go by "Argos".

[rekindledtitan]

Ah, right. [ A little sheepish at forgetting that herself, she gives an easy salute. ] Blaze-37. It's a pleasure to meet you, Argos.
