fireteamchat[Thing is with the moon; it's completely lifeless compared to any of the other places he's been. Venus is packed and crammed with an array of life, from the thick jungles to the Fallen and Vex that swarm its surface. Earth has a vast variety despite what hell the Darkness unleashed on it during the Collapse. By all means he knows Mars has more life from the tales Kell has told.
Yet the moon is depleted and devoid of any real color. Nothing saying that life was there in the first place. Hollowed and collapsed buildings, craters, and cracks.
Underneath the surface though? That's where all of the movement was at with Hive having buried deep underneath its skin. An infestation far worse than the inklings on Earth clashing with the Devils and Kings. Hopefully they'll be no shows throughout this whole time.
It was a simple recovery mission. A fellow guardian has gone dark for the past couple of days straight now. So Vanguard wanted them located. Relatively simple hopefully.
At least that's what he hopes.
So the hunter transmats down onto the surface and rolls his shoulders, watching his tracker for movement. Nothing. Though he should've expected that at the last place the guardian transmitted from. Now he waits for the rest of the team to join up. It wasn't going to be a simple run around in the cosmodrome. Time to step up and show that the fireteam was a capable one.]

I wasn't planning on going near it.

Rodger.
[But they have to hunt, and so hunt he does, treading carefully along the perimeter of one of the buildings, trying to assess the threat. No movement, so he spares a look inside, and when there's nothing still, head in.]

Date: 2015-10-13 09:55 pm (UTC)There's a drop down and he jumps to the floor before, listening carefully for anything remotely Fallen. However there was nothing. But someone had been in here, foot prints lead towards a control console with a discarded synth packet nearby.]
He was here. Now where did he run off to though?

[ Her gaze drifts towards the path that leads far away. To the Hive. To where even the light can't follow them. ]

Date: 2015-10-15 05:26 am (UTC)Well, what was the console used for last?
[Stepping forward to the device, he presses a few keys to wake it up. Wisp hovers at his side in case he needs help.]

Thankfully there are no fallen at the time being, at least in the building that he's chosen to investigate, but that doesn't mean that there couldn't be something worse.]

Stay with the warlock. Keep this place secure.
[His handcannon is switched out for his rifle before he starts walking towards the nearly dismantled solar panel dome on the nearby hill.]

Date: 2015-10-17 07:40 pm (UTC)He could have gone down there. If he had to. [ A secret mission? Something the vanguards didn't want them to know about? Or maybe he was chased down there... She shakes her head, as if to remove those thoughts.
Surely that couldn't have happened. The guardian has to be roaming around somewhere far far away from the underground. ]

It looks like he was after a place called the--Temple of Crota? Supposedly it's up past the Anchor of Light. Maybe that's where he went.

Date: 2015-11-01 04:35 am (UTC)[At least as far as he's concerned, but he's much more comfortable with staying back and keeping guard than venturing forth. It may seem like the easy way out, but nothing about the moon inspires bravery in him, and playing the coward is fine with him.]
