"Hahahaha. Are you kidding me? Any race that's foolish enough to shoot themselves in the foot, but bold enough to point their gun at the other one gets a 'thumbs up' in my book." To articulate, she takes her probably still loaded firearm and points it at her own skull, brushing her finger against the trigger before making an explosion noise with her mouth and rolling her eyes back. "These guys are bold enough to pull something like that, we'd be idiots not to get them involved in the Pact Worlds. Besides," she says, waving her pistol around in a dismissive gesture, "the only thing holding them back is our head start in the tech race. Once we get 'em up to speed, who knows what kinda gratitudes they'd grant us?"
Miss Integrity puts her hands on her hips and sighs. "What? So they just shut you down? Where's the fun in that?" She looks around at the group, then at the sentient machine. And then she looks back at the group and grins. "I propose a detour. How about we pop the seal of freshness on that robot shrine and see what's up?"
"Ohhh, what do we have here?" says Integrity as she rushes into the room, ready to face the beast. "Are we finally getting to the fun part?" Integrity flexes her right hand, her middle and ring fingers spreading apart. A sharpened spike of bone unseaths itself from between the two digits with an thick, meaty cracking sound as she takes a defensive stance. "Alright, let's do this!"
Integrity makes a gesture, pulling phantom pockets inside out. "Well, I happen to be pretty short right now. Just went shopping, you see." Her mock pout transmogrifies into a grin. "Buuuut, I just spent it on some party favors if you don't mind trading in goods." The envoy reaches into her goodie bag, producing three doses of hyperleaf. Then, she glances back at the group, giving them an inquisitive glance. "Unless you guys want to chip in?"
Integrity holds up a hand towards Jeen, giving him a playful eyeroll before pressing a finger to her lips. At the front of the group, she gracefully spins on the ball of her heel, rotating 180 degrees before ending it with a bow, mimicing her diplomatic gesture from earlier. The envoy watches the armed aliens closely, gauging their reaction.
"Not gonna lie." says Integrity as she keeps her sights trained on Green. "I didn't expect to see undead around a place like this!" Not wanting to be left out of the melee, she breaks into a sprint to circle around her opponents. Once she's in something akin to a flanking position, she flexes her right hand, the ring and middle fingers parting as a sharpened spine of bone bursts out of her hand. She gestures threateningly with her bone spine. "Let's rock!"
"Eh. Suit yourself."
Integrity glances around casually, but she doesn't seem to notice anything. The envoy is far too preoccupied with her beer, having punctured a hole near the base with her knife in order to shotgun the thing in a few loud gulps. The follow-up belch is fairly impressive, resonating with a deep bass on a long note, rising in pitch at the very end.
Integrity takes a look through the telescope, letting out a sharp whistle as she catches sight of the destruction. She takes it in, looking upon the destruction and carnage with awe as she softly sings a catchy tune to herself. ♪ Fire and chaos end of life ♪
She pulls back, looking into the distance thoughtfully, uttering an expletive in Vesk with a smile. She reaches into her pack to tuck away her rolled-up Hyperleaf before fishing out a pair of beer cans. She pops the tab on one hand offers it to Therseis. "Drink with me? A view like this is worth a toast."
Integrity most definitely touches the antlers. She looks over them with awe as she tests their texture. "Ohh. These are pretty dense. I bet you could wreck somebody with this!" She leans back, rubbing at the back of her right hand. "I'm jealous. I had to buy mine on the market and have it installed." Then, she glances at the group and grins. Her fingers rise up to shoe a 'four' count towards them, and she nods in excitement. Clearly, she wants to visit the more dangerous locations.
"You know, when it comes to being a proper Envoy, there's just one thing you need to make sure you have. No matter what anyone else says, I know the one thing that really matters." She pulls a few unmarked pouches out of her backpack. "The trick is to make sure you brought enough Hyperleaf to share with the team!"
Integrity purses her lips at Thersis's inquiry. "Yeah, that's the thing. The history of my people, uhm..." She smiles and shrugs. "We kinda don't have one. Like... imagine going on a huuuuuge bender. Like, you've got your vacation pay early and the whole week off and you just want to get absolutely destroyed and no one's there to stop you. And things get so crazy you wake up later with a headache the size of a small moon and you have no idea what even happened." She nods. "It's kinda like that. Except we don't even remember what happened before this metaphorical binge. Also our entire planet's gone. Like, poof." She articulates by raising her hands and wiggling her fingers. "I mean, we had this war wick these guys called the Vesk, and they're total harcore badasses. I could tell you about that!" Integrity sighs wistfully and reaches into her pack, producing a rolled up wad of paper about as long and thick as her pinky finger, pressing the tapered tip to her lips. "Hey, any of you guys got a laser pistol I can borrow?"
"And I'm Integrity." the envoy smiles, giving a playful salute. "Musician, military enthusiast, and chemical connoisseur." She purses her lips and touches her fingers to her chin in a thoughtful expression. "You guys had a lot of magic, hmm? You know, we have some magic around our parts as well. We kind of go for a mix of that and normal technology. Me? I'm a fan of the classics." She draws her pistol and gives it a little twirl, pointing up at an imaginary target and making a little bang noise with her mouth before she puts it away.
Integrity, now clad in her armor, steps forward with a bit of a swagger. Her arms are out and her palms are open, and she follows their lead with a slow spin. Unable to help herself, she adds just the slightest dramatic flair to it. "It's a pleasure to be here." she says, with restrained excitement. if the piloting check is under 13: She glances up at the damaged building, letting out a bit of a nervous laugh. "So, how about the weather, eh? The gravity's reeeaaal wild today."
"Oh hey, what is up my dudes?" A very excited Miss Integrity greets the coral beings, her cheeks slightly flushed from joy. Or intoxicants. Or maybe both. "Yeah yeah, we're comin' right down. to, uh, engage our landing device on your open receiving pad." She leans off camera, giving room for another crew member to greet them, while she murmurs to them. "Hahaha. That sounded kind of dirty, didn't it?" she says, not entirely inaudible to the copaxis.
Miss Integrity has a great time on board, handing out free sample tracks from her band, Downward Spiral. Such tracks include: - Infest & Process, a song about playing host to a flesh eating alien parasite (with a level of detail that hints towards personal experience)
Other than that, Integrity mostly lounges about getting drunk on cheap vesk beer. In particular, a brand called Victory Rush. She also offers to share her stash of Hyperleaf with the team.
"First question. Who wants to bet we end up surfing that city to the ground and hitting it like the fist of an angry hellknight?" The human woman chuckles, reaching up to tilt her military cap to the side. Her form is tall and athletic, clad in clothing styled after the uniform of a Corpse Fleet commander but far too stylized and a bit too revealing to be the real deal. Her hip-length hair seems to be greying despite her youthful appearance. "Pretty great way to go, if you ask me." She snorts, brushing a bit of glittering powder from just above her lip before she continues. "For real, though. What do we know about the local religious structure? Any fun water gods going on, or has the Pharasma Long Con snaked its way into another batch of hapless mooks?" |
