SILENT HORIZON - [Part 2: Facing the Faceless/Escape] [modplot]
Who| Everyone in Silent Horizon plot
What| Fighting the Faceless, a perilous escape, and a chance to have a breather
Where| In the In-Between, the Silent Horizon, and then the Legion Cruiser
When| Chronologically, only hours have passed in the outside world from when the team disappeared, but it's up to players whether their characters perceived it as being hours or days
Warnings/Notes| Gore, blood, body horror, all the usual
They hear the voice again, calling out to them. Not the Faceless, not the dark whispers of this world. It's the same tinny voice that warned them, that told them not to give into the Faceless' offer. It's the voice that told them their Phalanxed teammates can still be saved if the Faceless is killed in time before they die.
It calls out again. Wherever they are, whatever the landscape is doing, they can hear it.
"I know you have no reason to trust me. I know you've been probably hearing lots of voices in this place, telling you all kinds of things. But I'm trying to help you. There's a way to end this, to stop the Faceless. Just follow my voice. My language synthesizer is broadcasting in the telepathic range like telepathic earplugs and I've managed to reconfigure it to broadcast through the entire In-Between. You should be hearing it wherever you are and you should be able to use its broadcast strength to navigate. I think I've managed to secure it from the Faceless and his Phalanx but there's no way to be sure."
How loud the voice is changes as they get closer or farther away. They can use it to navigate, albeit very crudely. And now that it's clearer, it's far more recognizable: it's the voice of the Robotican in the horrible footage that played before they were taken -- the one that had his head knocked off.
"My name is N-45LEN/Keth Series. My organic crewmates call --" He pauses, and sounds distraught. "--called me Lenny. I was a crew member of the Silent Horizon. This entire dimension is called the In-Between. It's made up of the body of the Faceless and I'm currently trapped at its core. I can see you Legionnaires from here through...what appears to be some kind structure for processing what equates to ocular stimuli for the Faceless. If any of you get lost, I can see enough to guide you here."
If they need it, they'll find that he can give them individualized directions, no matter what the landscape does, and he can give them to multiple people simultaneously. Having a complex processor for a brain has its perks.
"My organic teammate and I managed to discover the core of the Faceless and its nature, but I'm currently incapacitated and Bob...he just lost it. He nearly destroyed what was left of me and ran off before we could stop the Faceless. I saw him eventually accept the Faceless' offer and turn. If you make it here where I am, you may be able to destroy the Faceless' body enough to kill him, save your teammates, and destroy this dimension once and for all."
A pause.
"And if you could maybe take me with you when you leave, uh, I would appreciate that. Like, a lot."

Gritting her teeth Connie breaks into a run drawing her knife as she blinks through the air to reappear behind Pidge to block the monstrosity's path with two other armoured projections of herself at her side.
"I got your back, move!"
no subject
But she didn't anticipate how vulnerable this would leave her. She can't even drag the bones back and whip them behind her to fight that way. But then Connie appears behind her like an avenging armored valkyrie and Pidge manages to scramble away and vanish.
Invisibility gives her a few precious moments to get around to the back of the monster. Turnabout is fair play, and she's going to make sure this thing is down. Whatever Connie does, she's going to drive the electric end of her bayard right into this thing's spine.
no subject
Even on the ground it's not out of the fight just yet, it's other arm comes shooting out to grab for Connie's leg, forcing her to roll back and out of the way. Distracted as it is it doesn't notice the sudden absence of Pidge in front of it.
no subject
And then it shoots up straight and shrieks. Sparks of electricity shoot from the base of it's spine, and Pidge decloaks behind it. She has her bayard pressed into it, with as much ferocity as she can muster.
The monster lets out one last groan and falls forward, leaving Pidge standing over it staring at Connie, all business.
"I'll need to get close to take these things out, it's quicker. Are you with me?"
no subject
"I'm with you. I'll keep 'em busy while you take out the hearts. Think your weapon packs more of a punch than my knife does."
And with so many team mates in such close quarters Connie isn't willing to risk pulling out her gun to fight with. With a tip of her head she scans the room for the next closest patch of bone curling out from the walls, pointing out one with a similar hulking meat monster guarding it.
"You up for it?"
no subject
"Yeah, I think so. But if this thing starts thinking it's in real danger, it'll start bringing out the big guns."
It's a hunch, but it's an educated one even if it does sound a little video-game-y. The hearts are mostly unprotected, the monsters seem to be it's only line of defense.
She nods. "Let's do it," and charges towards the heart and it's monster.
no subject
Connie grins behind her helmet and follows suit after pidge, several image projections appearing around her as the meat monster turns and snarls at them and charges in turn. As it lashes out towards the first of her doubles it flickers out of sight as Connie slides under it's bulk, catching one of it's legs and pivoting with her momentum to knock it flat on its face.
"Go!"
no subject
She then fired a her bayard right at the creature's head, which should serve as both an attack and a signal to Connie that she's ready to move.
