Circa OUATIS, the Mechanisms pick up some doofus who it is inconveniently difficult to kill. His name is Honey.

The target will be fine. Probably. It's only a little torn.

The arrows don't break that easily; they're made of something that's both lighter and stronger than either wood or steel. The bow likewise seems lighter than it looks, and stronger than the weight suggests. 

"So. You like 'em?"

Honey nods. "Yeah, they're good. Thanks for finding these for me."

Permalink

He just kind of stands there for a minute, trying to recall the general map of the ship, before asking Ashes a question. "Any idea where I should go for the op that's coming up? I'm not sure if there's, like...a boarding room or anything?"

Permalink

"Yeah, c'mon. I'll show you."

Geared up with their own array of pistols—and a flamethrower for good measure—Ashes leads the way to the airlock where the rest of the crew are gathering. 

Permalink

Ivy is there, with a wicked-looking crossbow strapped to her back, a notebook in her hands, and a camera slung around her neck. She and Ashes have both changed into dark, fitted clothing that looks almost like mercenary gear, but with only the lightest of body armour. 

Permalink

Kit and Kolya arrive together shortly after Ashes and Honey, with Mac trailing behind them. Kit has two curved, serrated swords, which he's carrying openly in his hands rather than bothering with the scabbards on his back. Kolya has a pair of holstered pistols; Mac is holding a rifle like it's a comfort object.  

"Everyone ready?"

Honey also probably finally changed out of the remains of his old uniform, into something not unlike Ivy and Ashes's loadouts, albeit maybe not so well-fitting. He's got bow in-hand and quiver on his back. He can sort of...feel his mind narrowing down, as he gets ready for real combat. He nods to Kit.

The ship judders with an unseen impact. 

"It'll be a bit of a rough landing," Martin warns through the everpresent speakers. "I'm afraid they've started shooting at us." 

Only moments later, they touch down with another jolt, and the outer lock opens.

Permalink

"Right," Kit says, with a wild grin on his face that Honey might recognise from their spar earlier. 

"Time to see what these Rose Reds can do." 

He steps out, Kolya close behind. 

Permalink

Honey follows along with the front line, bow drawn and ready to loose. Part of him wants to rush ahead, to find and retrieve the target as quickly as possible, but his stronger instincts keep him on pace with his unit.

Permalink

They've landed right by the entrance to some kind of military-looking facility. Varangar has an atmosphere, not much of one but enough that there are guards stationed outside the door. Identical, symmetrical faces. Bright red hair. Rose Reds. 

There's a pause as the Roses take stock, then one of them—what looks like the oldest, with long hair in a businesslike updo—barks out a command. "Fire!" 

And then everything is loud and bright for a few moments, as laser blasts fill the air. 

Permalink

Lasers can be bad news, though Honey hasn't encountered any that are strong enough to be bad news that are man-portable, yet at least. These manage to burn him a bit, but nothing his healing factor can't keep pace with. He shoots for any Rose Reds that the others aren't focusing on, right around the center mass.

Permalink

When there's a long enough pause in the shooting, Honey sees Kit staggering back to his feet, having fallen to his knees. Smoke is rising from multiple burn marks on his shirt, and he's laughing. 

Permalink

"Better luck next time, ladies!" Kolya taunts, brushing at the shoulder of his coat where similar smoke is rising. With the other hand, he lazily points his pistol and fires, taking a Rose Red in the chest. 

Permalink

Before long, the Rose Reds on this side of the door are a heap of identical corpses scattered around the entrance they were guarding. 

"There'll be more inside," Ashes comments, stepping over one of the bodies. 

Permalink

"There better be; that was hardly a fight at all," Kit grumbles.

"Who wants to do the honours?" he asks, gesturing at the door with the bloody tip of a sword. 

Permalink

Honey steps forwards to take point, assuming no one else does first.

Permalink

Without warning, Mac pulls the pin on a grenade and lobs it underhand at the door. 

A second later, it goes off with a BOOM.

Permalink

Unphased by the explosion, or the light peppering of shrapnel that follows it, Honey takes a step through the blasted door, battering aside any remnants that are still in the way. If he sees any Rose Reds or other combatants once he's clear of the smoke, he'll start on taking them out.

Permalink

Honey and the Mechanisms encounter only scattered resistance as they make their way further into the base. Most of the personnel scatter before their onslaught, guards and technicians alike. 

The Rose Reds are bolder, and they encounter a few more walls of concentrated laser fire. 

Permalink

Each of which Kit dives into with glee, emerging on the other side covered in blood both his own and his enemies'. 

Permalink

Honey carefully avoids firing any arrows where he imagines Kit might leap to next. Kit (if he is paying attention to anything other than how much fun he is having) may notice that Honey's movements and expression are significantly more mechanical than they were during their earlier spar.

Permalink

Kit is super not paying attention to anything that isn't trying (and failing) to kill him. 

Ivy is paying attention to everything! This includes Honey, who is scientifically fascinating. She isn't helping very much with the fighting, too distracted by trying to watch everything that's going on all at once. 

Permalink

Honey himself is mostly just focused on keeping pace with frontline and on quickly and efficiently removing threats on their way to where the target is being kept.

He isn't moving around too much, which is too bad regarding getting good data on what he's capable of, but his archery does provide something of a supplement.

Permalink

Mac is doing pretty much the same thing as Honey, just with a gun: marching along and shooting anything that moves ahead of them.

He's not being at all careful to avoid hitting Kit.
