Apex was currently walking down one of the many hallways within the tower towards the vanguard with his right hand idly spinning one of his knives in long deliberate arcs and twirls leaving a trail of solar and void energy in each movement whilst passing the occasional member of staff who were stationed at the training facility or a fellow guardian in training, both giving him a wide birth as they could clearly tell the mood he was in one of the key give always being the leaking of void and solar energy from his knife.
" sage could you please tell me what I've got stored in the inventory" was what apex said before a flash of light on his left shoulder revealed his ghost or sage as he referred to the little light bulb because of its green shell
" of course guardian but I fail to see how shooting Cayde will help to solve this predicament" came the AIs response
" (chuckles) nah as much as I would love to get revenge on that bucket of bolts for most likely getting me into this mess, I'm wanting an inventory check because of us going into new and possible hostile territory so I want to be prepared for the worst"
" of course , you currently have both the First curse and Last word equipped and available along with your Cerberus sniper rifle ( basically a bulpup as50 painted black) along with your back up pair of ironwarth-d pistols and enough ammo for a small army , it still surprises me you can use multiple exotic tier weapons at once" said sage as the ghost flew slightly ahead and directed its single eye towards apex as they headed forward emerging into the court yard where vendors were advertising items such as shaders or class items from stalls along with the gunsmith.
" if you were surprised than the spectators must have gone ballistic" apex said whilst simultaneously sheathing his knife as sage hovers close to his helmets visor " Infarct some of them did"
The only response sage got was a dismissive shrug of the shoulders as apex was now in the hall way with lord shaxx who gave apex the equivalent a curious look whilst wearing an helmet
" guardian you only come down hear when you and your fire team are wanting to prove yourselves in the crucible or when your claiming your winnings of cayde "
" Yeah as fun as both of those sound shaxx , its unfortunately neither I'm the unfortunate sod whose getting sent on that exchange program at least it should allow Bannerfall to be repaired "
This lead to shaxx laughing slightly " ah yes the bannerfall incident that was one of the most entertaining crucible matches to date , anyway enough reminiscing you better go to the vanguard before they start wondering where you've ran off to"
" yeah take care shaxx " was apex retort as he walked off whilst raising his hand in a sort of wave before walking towards the doors to the vanguard room sealed by two sturdy looking ornamental doors with the symbol of the vanguard in the centre of both doors
" so sage flashy entrance or should I just kick the doors down " this comment quickly caused sage to fly up in apex face with an annoyed look
" as much as I along with everyone else would find that entertaining it wouldn't be appropriate for the current negotiations"
"(sigh) fine no need to get all pouty little light I guess I will just walk in then oh and ghost mute the helmet so only you can hear me until I tell you otherwise " apex said getting a conformational nod from sage as he began to push both of the doors open to reveal something apex was not expecting
First of all the chaotic look of the vanguard room that consisted of maps and charts sprawled all over the centre table had been replaced with a expensive looking cloth that covered the table with the new addition of fancy looking leather seats that we placed around the table with a large gap between the two sides which must be to represent the two sides with the right hand side consisting of the vanguard along with some government members from the last city's council which consisted of an old bolding man with what little of his hair that remained was gray who funnily enough was called minister gray along with the other ministers one being a middle aged woman with brown skin and black hair known as minister snow and finally a female exo known as senator haven.
" sage please check to see if I'm hallucinating or I'm having a seizure in a hospital bed " was apexs response to the people on the left side of the vanguard table, now apex has seen a lot of things and been trained to deal with the unexpected and adapt, hell he had even died but this is something new. As minister gray stood up from the table to introduce apex.
" ah this young man right here is the trainee who we have purposed for the exchange program" was grays introduction
" yes I can see why he would be recommended anyways apex allow me to formal introduce me I am general pepper of the cornerian defence force "
