Thread: Galactic Corruption [Player: Rosina x Narrator/GM: TinyThings]

84 rock? That is a new one... Scarlett agreed as she glanced down at them from the vantage of her speeder. As she dashed through the air the ESA ass-length red hair danced behind her like a whirlwind and the rush of breathable air against her face made the girl grin. Even in it's current corrupted state it was clear that this planet was earth, the birthplace of humanity, she could only imagine how beautiful it could be once her mission was complete however, she didn't let that thought distract her. Even despite Acama's worried tone Scarlett clearly wasn't phased, she never was during the mission it was always before the mission when she let her emotions get the best of her. Oh!? The ESA would let out in surprise as she felt the first yank against the bottom of her speeder, then a second one tugging her down once more. Yet the moment she that saw these rock-zombies were jumping at her they became less zombies and more monstrous automata. Regardless she didn't let them catch her off guard again and she easily set to evading any more jumpers eager at bringing her closer to the ground. Scarlett simply nodded at Acama's suggestion and allowed the engines to overdrive so that she had the height to get to a safe threshold so she wouldn't be jumped. The ESA's bold blue eyes shot wide open in surprise and her body couldn't help but tremble in a sudden terror that locked her body frozen in place and sent her heart racing in her chest. Her eyes narrowed on the yellow slits and stared into them as they stared through storm and back into her. She felt her sanity battered with an incomprehensible fear as that voice... that voice ripped into her mind and made itself known. Scarlett couldn't look away from the massive yellow slits but neither did she have the strength to look at them, her eyes all but blanking out as her vision faded slightly and foreign words danced across her consciousness. As the slits disappeared her vision came back to her but she could still feel the horrifying laughing of an unknown power in the back of her mind as it slowly vanished into nothingness. Yet even as the sound dissipated she could feel it's presence, she could feel that something was different now as if she had lost something that she never knew she had. The ESA didn't know how much time had passed from when the voice started till now, but the fact that she wasn't much closer to the town, and that she hadn't been taken down by a jumper during her distraction led her to believe it had only been a short moment. In all her missions Scarlett had never experienced something like that and she scoured all her interfaces for any sign that it was real and that she wasn't just going insane. Luckily she did find a sign that what she thought just happened did in fact, not on her HUD or from Acama, but as she glanced down at the jumpers who all ceased aggression immediately and stared up at her like she was some form of royalty. She had flashbacks to walking into rooms of military and having them all dote over her like she was a saint, it was just like this but less monstrous. She was unnervingly silent as she approached the fallen city, trying to sort out the insanity that just attached itself to her. No Acama... He wants me to find him... Those creatures won't bother us again, he stopped them. As Scarlett spoke her voice was surprisingly shaky and fearful, she was still confident in her mission but to Acama who heard her boldly brushing off danger moments earlier this was quite a drastic change. Regardless she set to traveling the streets in search for her charge, certain that there would be no more surprises aside from the beast himself. Last edited Jun 4, 2018
