how does I Exo (canon is Destiny)

[per_audacia_ad_astra]

Mundane, the one suggestion I can make for you is research. Curiosity is Mankind's greatest gift. Use it. Don't let me down.




And take copious notes. I'll be watching you.

I hope things have been well. You're the second Exo I've come across in such a place, although also the second of just as many Guardians.

That's understandable. Time is always a valuable thing to have, and oftentimes difficult to obtain enough when you need it.

[per_audacia_ad_astra]

Things have been ... uneventful, for just starting out. My mundane also has her Titan human in a game, and he's doing very well for himself so far. She may also know the Exo you're referring to; we are yet a small contingent.

There is never enough time, is there? [She chuckles, a bright, tinny sound.] 'I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain.'

[seek_the_light]

I'm glad to hear it. I wish I could say that the circumstances of the place I've found myself in are all right, but I'm doing what I can, as I can. That does seem true, however- there are very few Guardians or otherwise that I've seen out here in general.

Exactly.

[per_audacia_ad_astra]

Tell me about your place. Do you have a Guardian? It is strange to be separate from our Ghosts. Orion - the Titan - is still struggling with that aspect. I wonder if it is the same for you?

[seek_the_light]

It's a planet I'm unfamiliar with- and unfortunately arrived by accident due to poor combination of warp anomalies and Verdana's old satellite defense system. Most of the humans I've come across that aren't native residents are from a wrecked sentient rescue ship of sorts, and they've been working on it to try and restore her.

...I haven't yet found a Guardian, and I doubt I will at a place like this.

What sort of circumstances is it that this Titan has found himself in?

[per_audacia_ad_astra]

[Oh, hello, her Warlock's curiosity is definitely piqued. she opens up and speaks eagerly.] A sentient ship? Please do expand on that. Is the ship itself biomechanical or is it more like sentient programming? [You know ... like herself.]

Orion is on an unfamiliar planet as well, confined to a city under a dome to protect them from dysenthropes, those infected with a horrible disease. There's a company that has found a way to bring in outsiders in hopes they are immune to the sickness to help find a cure for the disease - that's how he ended up there in the first place. There's actually a coup going on right now.

[seek_the_light]

[If he had the means to, he'd smile right now.]

Purely mechanical from what I've seen, but her structure is extensive, and I've only managed to recently assist in restoring some of her repair drones. She manifests herself as a humanoid avatar within the ship.

A disease? Has it been proven that outsiders are immune? Apparently there was an outbreak of a disease on the planet I'm on some hundreds of years past, but the area is still under heavy quarantine, and no one is allowed on the other side of the barrier.

[per_audacia_ad_astra]

[Despite lacking nuanced musculature of the humans Exos were based on, it should still be apparent she's immensely interested in this topic; glowing eyes wide, mouth agape as if she wants to say something but doesn't want to interrupt, a forward lean, full, undivided attention.] She sounds magnificent.

It hasn't been proven one way or another, but there's enough rumor about it that they posses a certain amount of clout, even being called 'the Immune'. The one you mentioned must have been a serious outbreak, if it's still under quarantine. That sounds like serious business.

[seek_the_light]

She's an amazing design. I'm not sure of her origin, but her capabilities for exploration put her on par with, or perhaps even beyond that of the Traveler.

I hope that our Titan friend takes care of himself there. My mun is curious as to the name of this place.

It's very concerning. Aside from the risk of contagion, I've been told that there are some monstrous creatures around those wastelands as well- although even in the accessible wilderness near the cities, it seems there are creatures not unlike those from Earth's past, billions of years ago.

[per_audacia_ad_astra]

You are almost making me wish I were down there. [Seriously. She wants to talk to this ship.]

The city is called Proles, but it's also referred to as sanctums.

Mmm. Sounds like you definitely have your proverbial hands full.

[seek_the_light]

Setting aside all the matters I mentioned previously, it isn't a bad place. However just recently Salvation has brought up another dilemma, so I hope I am not speaking too soon.

Ah, my mun believes to have heard of that place. It seems like pacing is roughly the same as that of outer_divide.

[per_audacia_ad_astra]

There always seems to be something waiting to pull you back into crisis once you've settled after the last one. I'm sure you'll be alright, though; you're pretty industrious.

My mundane finds it's a good pace.

[seek_the_light]

If it's not one thing, then it's another. I'll continue to do as I can.

Does Orion think the same? It seems more often than not that our mundane don't tend to have our best interests at heart, although some can be reasonable.

[per_audacia_ad_astra]

Considering the plans she has in mind for him in the future, he wouldn't mind the pace coming to a grinding halt. I am not at discretion to go detail, but it won't be fun for him.

[seek_the_light]

...that's unfortunate. Well, I wish him luck, at the very least. Please send him my regards.

[per_audacia_ad_astra]

I will.

And you, are you alright at the Verdana? [Would you like a Guardian?]

[seek_the_light]

As well as can be. [He would definitely not turn down having a Guardian.]
