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."

"Come on, you filthy, dumb sonnovabitch. Give me something to shoot at."
no subject
The corpse on Locus's back snickers before yanking at the chains, and with a snarl Locus surges out of the shadows, suddenly visible and looming, one hand swinging for South's face.
She'd have a hard time hitting him in the face, however. Only his mouth remains exposed, hidden under large, plate-like growths over his face like secondary armor.
no subject
"What the fuck --" Noticing now the additional thing on its back, the chains and reins and, why does that armor look familiar?
no subject
Instead he looms closer, jaws dripping, as the armored corpse still perched on his back laughs in rasping tones.
Too easy. You gonna put up an actual fight or what, sweetcheeks?
no subject
"Call me sweetcheeks again, I'm removing yours."
no subject
That's more like it.
Reaching down, it twists at something in Locus's back, and he lurches forward again, swinging heavily for South's torso, intending to knock her to the ground.
no subject
no pun intendedin this engagement. It's enough of a hesitation that even though she goes to block his hit, she's successfully knocked on her ass.Recovering with a frustrated grunt, she throws all pretense to the side and transforms into a rhinoceros and charges the pair.
no subject
Well, zombie!Felix certainly seems taken aback by this tactic, though not for long. Locus, meanwhile, just bears down to take the brunt of the hit, rattling deep in his bones and shoving him back across the ground...
But his hands still swing up to take the animal by the jaw, in an attempt to wrench it over to the side. The pain doesn't matter. The size of his opponent doesn't matter, he's going to fight until he's dead regardless.
no subject
She's not the fight 'till the death sort of girl, but Felix calling her sweetcheeks rules get up enough to put some effort into the attack.
