I'm just curious as to where user, what was it? Amvmaster? Right. Got the idea that Cayde would be dual wielding. Just curious.

Also, just another quick fix.

I felt the engine rumble before purring like a kitten with the raw power of a nuclear reactor. Seconds later we accelerated to twenty five thousand miles per hour and broke atmosphere. Next I felt the jump drive essentially rip a hole in space and time, closing it behind us. Without a drive it would take us almost a year to reach Mars but we're able to reach it in about an hour with a drive, the problem lies in the fact that it uses large amounts of power to make such long trips as it keeps what is essentially a wrinkle in space from collapsing on us or from spitting us out in some random area of unexplored space. Or even The Tower.

With time on our hands I started to ask the young girl a few questions over the radio.

"What's your name?"
"Huh? Oh! Right, I'm Sarah. Human Warlock Sunsinger. Verification number-"
"Okay, I just wanted your name." I try to say without sounding like too much of an ass.
"Right, what's yours?"
"Don't know."
"How old are you? I'm eighteen."
"Don't know."
"I could find out for you. I just need a sample of the proteins in your blood."
"What?" I asked, rather alarmed at the thought of an eighteen year old jabbing me with a very, very pointy object.
"It'll take like, three seconds and your ghost can send it to me. You wont even feel it." I looked over to my ghost and they nodded, affirming that it was ok. So I nodded my head and it went to work, scanning my arm. A burning sensation came up that began in my fingers, then traveling up my arm until it felt like my blood was literally boiling.

I grit my teeth and screamed through them, feeling a popping in my jaw. She started humming over the radio as she processed the results before saying, "Assuming that you had a relatively healthy life and didn't smoke, I would guess your age to be eighteen to early twenties."

I pulled my helmet off and looked at my face, I looked older than that but not by much. I would guess around twenty six. I rubbed the rough beard that grew while I was unconscious and began to trim it with the knife that I pulled from my belt. After I was done I brushed the hair from my lap and saw that I had found the first instrument in my life that was able to shave the stubble. I looked, to my surprise, much younger without it. I now looked younger than my approximate age. I just couldn't get it right, could I?

"So... why are we going to Mars anyways?" She asked this just as I clicked my radio on to ask Cayde.
"I've got a few caches around there that we'll probably want, assuming that I can remember where they are."
"So, we're going to a possibly hostile planet,"
"Oh trust me, it's hostile."
"Okay. So were going to a hostile planet with a Vanguard, an eighteen year old, a nineteen-ish year-old, and I'm assuming that neither of us have very much combat experience, and no supplies to search for something that we might even not be able to find."
"Don't worry about supplies, we don't necessarily need food as our ghosts can transform the light in us into the nutrients we need and ammo will be plentiful." She started to say this before I finished my sentence.
"So I'm basically screwed unless either of you have food."
"Why would that be?"
"Because I'm apparently 'a child of darkness' and I can't stand what you're calling 'light'."
"So why are we helping and not killing you?" Her voice was innocent enough but I knew that she would put a round between my eyes, through my metal skull, and into my brain if I didn't give a good reason.
"Not quite sure, but the speaker saved my ass back when the other Vanguards wanted to shoot me."
"Just, just go with it." Cayde said with a tone of exasperation in his voice.
"Alrighty." Her voice was clipped
For the next fifty minutes or so I took a nap, feeling I wouldn't get much more rest in the following days.

When we broke atmosphere and landed I pulled my helmet off and rubbed the sleep from my short nap from my eyes before pulling it back on.

"Welcome to Meridian Bay, Mars. The only place that can compete for the worst air quality with The Tower's bathrooms." Cayde said, his voice amplified through the audio sensors embedded in the helmet.
"Agreed." I didn't ask what they meant by that cause I did not want to know but to break the awkward silence that manifested after they finished that sentence I had to say something.
"So... what else do I not have to worry about in this suit?"
"Water. Your suit contains an AR unit."
"A what?"
"Right, you don't know what that is. It's an 'aerosol rehydration' unit, basically your suit monitors your water levels and releases a mist that is absorbed through your skin. Not sure how it works but it does, or so I'm told."
"Don't forget not having to use the bathroom."
"Right, your suit has waste disposal units pretty much every where but try not to vomit in your helmet cause there is a good chance you'll drown in your own puke. We could never get it to work quite right."
"You have some weird ideas. So where is this cache of yours?"
"Right about... here." He ran over to a non-descript patch of sand and grabbed a metal handle from underneath it. Walking around it, keeping his hand on the grip, he pulled it up about half way and said, "no time for messing around Cayde. Just do it!" He pulled it up and a click sounded from beneath it but nothing happened for a second then two small orbs popped out. He scrambled for them and tossed them into the air just before they blew up in his hands. Two giant orbs of 'fuck you' made from fire and electricity spawned from them.
"Alright. Grab a couple bags and run like hell back to the landing sight." I nodded and reached in, pulling several bags with one clinking with metal on metal.

So... are ya pissed? Anyways, if you can get the RvB reference in here I'll give you a shoutout, just put it into the comments or PM me.
