Just wanted to introduce the main characters, and also to say that the first two chapters of this are actual events from the game.
The players:
Altaira Rediston aka "Red" - Warlock class - human, female
Amari Quentin aka "Quantum" - Titan class - human, female
Avaria Lavik aka "Lavender" - Hunter class - human, female (myself)
"Come on Lavender, hurry up!"
Three sparrows zoomed across the dusty lunar landscape. The first two sped ahead, up a set of rocks and around A group of fallen hive, including one Knight fired dozens of energy bolts at them as they sped past. But then, there were other Gaurdians out here that could take care of them. These three were on a specific mission of their own.
Avaria Lavick (aka Lavender), Altaira Rediston (aka Red) and Amari Quentin (aka Quantum) had been called to the moon to investigate a Fallen site where the Hive was supposedly doing... well, something or another to hurt the traveller. Lavender hadn't been paying much attention in the meeting.
Then again, she wasn't paying attention now.
"OhCrap!" The Hunter slammed on her brakes when she rounded a corner and what seemed like twenty or so Fallen were grouped together, growling and hissing. They turned towards her.
One yelled something in their guttural, alien language.
"OhCrapOhCrapOhCrap."
Lavender backed up her sparrow and tried to turn around before a dozen or so more shots pinged off her armor and bike. She sped a little bit in the other direction, wondring how her companions had gotten around the hive so easily. Then she spotted the rocks.
She gunned her engine and aimed for the angled boulder just to the right of the Knight.
The sparrow made contact and the shriek of metal on rock echoed behind her as the Hunter went airborn. She let off the throttle a little to turn down the winding path without hitting the canyon walls, then replied "Hang on, I'm coming!"
she hit the turbo-boost, and realised as she made the tight turn left there was a low barrier. And a drop off.
AAAUGH DANGIT YOU GUYS, SERIOUSLY, AGAIN!"
both the others were laughing at her, she just knew it.
As she reappeared, she gave them both a glare through her helmet. The Titan shook his head. "Rookie."
"Shut up, Quantum."
"That's, like, the third time this week you've done that."
"Shut up, Red."
As she summoned her sparrow and sped ahead of them, she could be heard muttering "They should put up a sign or something."
Quantum cut in with "What, falling Rookies ahead"
"Ha Ha. Very funny."
Red suggested "They could put in a stoplight."
"Do those even exist anymore?"
Lavender sighed. "I was thinking something that read "sudden drop ahead."
End Notes:
This actually happened in several moon missions. And not just in low characters. Hey, everyone can have off-days, right?
