Vault Part Two

Peebee ducked another chunk of flying remnant scrap, as Matthias smashed into another assembler. Peebee was glad she had agreed to take the male twin with her, Matthias was great to have along for a lot of reasons, not only his skill at turning the Remnant bots into scrap he also was great for sounding ideas off. Once the last bot stopped moving she began scanning the tech, noticing that Matthias was scanning the plants and pulling tools out of his backpack.

"Feel free to keep scanning for a bit, I am going to quickly grab some samples of this stuff. These plants are growing without any sign of natural light or insects, it could be a huge benefit if our crops could be made like this! Imagine the possibilities, the Nexus would be able to grow plants without such a massive resource drain!" Peebee laughed and agreed at the excitement in his voice, yes Peebee was going to get on fine with this human.

Peebee finished the scanning she wanted and sat on a counter to watch Matthias collect his samples, after a minute she got bored and decided to ask some questions that had been bugging her. "So, is your sister really the type to flirt with everything that moves?" Peebee asked, frowning at the lack of reaction she got.

"Not really, you have to fit her type first and for most; Female or Asari, fearless and quick-witted and dangerous is always a good thing for her… Also must be a biotic, claims she does not want to break them by accident." Matthias answered, finishing packing his bag and signalling that he was ready to move.

Vetra followed Moira closely as they made their way through the large cavernous vault, when they came across a large aqueduct of some kind of fluid Moira crouched to get a sample. Vetra glanced over in time to see Costa start to fall in the fluid, leaping into action she grabbed him before he could plunge head first. His hand still hit the fluid and at once arcs began flying around the limb as his shields were drained at a blinding pace.

"Be careful, it would not be fun to haul your body out of that!" Vetra scolded, Liam scoffed before Moira cut in and made his jaw drop.

"Relax we would not fish it out, too much risk for the reward." Moira remarked calmly, Liam weakly laughed. "So, anyone falls in they get left?"

"No just you, you're the most expendable. Peebee is a civilian and expert on this tech, Cora is my one of my seconds and Vetra is our main supplier contact, Matthias is our medical expert so we can't leave him behind." Liam looked shocked, while Matthias could be heard snickering over the Comm as Peebee laughed.

"Okay, yeah that makes me feel great." Liam muttered as they moved through the vault.

Matthias crouched looking at his power readings as Moira triggered the start up, with Peebee looking over his shoulder he watched with worry as the power levels began going off the charts. A deep rumble from below them followed by a strange hiss, was their only warning as a cloud began rising up from the depths melting anything organic.

"Moira, what did you do?!" Matthias yelled into the comms, as he and Peebee began running.

"The vault seems to be running a cleaning program!" Moira yelled back, Matthias rolled his eyes at their luck.

"Less talking more running!" Vetra yelled over the comms.

"Yes Ma'am." Matthias responded, Peebee nearly crashing into him as they ran around a corner.

It did not take long for the pair to realize something terrifying, and for Peebee to voice it. "We're not going to make it!"

"Hang on and close you mouth and eyes!" Matthias warned, before Peebee could asked what he meant, he swung her up into a bridal carry.

###

Peebee yelped as Matthias swung her into his arms, before she could blink the shiver of biotics washed over her. Matthias blurred them forward with a charge smashing feet first into a wall, only to push off it with a charge an instant later. Peebee shut her eyes as he launched into a third charge crashing into another wall only to charge off it again. Peebee tried not to get sick from the sudden starts and stops, while she did that she noticed the biotic stamina this must be taking.

"Moira Move!" Matthias yelled, Peebee felt the impact a moment later, the a gentler one as the dropped to the floor.

[Interfacing please standby.] SAM called, drawing Peebee's attention to Moira who was interfacing with a console right in the path of the death cloud.

Right before the cloud could swallow the console, it stopped and retreated. Matthias set her down gently, Peebee's jaw dropped at the fact that he did not look winded in the slightest after a run like that. Before Peebee could question it Moira started laughing, as she sagged from relief against the console. SAM pulled up the last console activity and they quickly found themselves surrounded by a large hologram map of the cluster.

"Well, SAM start downloading a copy of this map and all data related to it, by the looks of some of these read outs there might be another active vault somewhere." Moira ordered, Peebee walked around the console and pointed out the location of a vault location that was different from the rest.

"Alright, let's get out of here and set up that beacon for the outpost!" Moira proclaimed, Peebee jumped slightly when Moira wrapped and arm around her shoulder and leaned on her.

"Sorry but all that excitement has left me weak in the knees, my helping my to the surface?" Moira pleaded with a pair of puppy eyes.

"Moira really that cryo nap has really effected your flirting, next your going to trip and ask her to carry you." Matthias scolded, flicking Moira's ear making her blush and Peebee laugh.

"Sure Pathfinder, I would love to have a beauty hanging off me to the surface." Peebee joked, wrapping an arm around Moira's waist, enjoying the jump and squeak she made when Peebee grabbed her ass, making Matthias laugh.

Vetra breathed in the surface air, enjoying the feeling of nature light on her plates. Moira began to have them pile into the Nomad to head to the site, when Peebee said she was going to head to the tempest to get settled in first. Vetra was about to climb in when Matthias stopped her, she looked at him and he jerked a thumb at Peebee's shuttle.

"In the shuttle Lady Nyx, you and I have a date with some buffers." Vetra's manibles dropped in shock. "What?!"

"You heard me, mission is over all that is left is a beacon planting. Moira can handle that, you and I have some medical treatments to take care of, or did you think I was joking?" Matthias asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I would go Vetra, Matthias is mean when you try and skip his medical check ups and treatments. He has put more than one dart in my arse over them, so go and enjoy it… think of it like a massage or something." Moira called, Vetra sighed and let herself be led into the shuttle.
