in the halls of Alaric

*As they get closer she notices that the tech priests are sporting jet black cloaks with a very liberal approach to mechanical appendages, though instead of the usual style their bionics are very natural looking*

she cocks her head

"They worship her as a living god"

"oh"

"Side effect of us getting separated before I found Serana"

"okay"

"I wasn't around to keep her in line so she managed to convert an entire dry dock to worshipping her"

"okay"

"You don't really care do you?"

"ish"

*He laughs as a tech priest approaches them*

she chuckles

R: greetings high priest
*the tech priest stops and bows*
TP: Greetings to you aswell champion of the Mother

"....hi"

TP: who is that!
R: She is Lady Alana, my fiancé
TP: Oh. *He gives Alana a very disapproving look before turning to Serana*
Greetings to you too
S: Helloo!!
*Rob sighs*
R: How many survivors?
TP: So far only a few squads of Rangers and us
R: None of the guardsmen?
TP: No.
R: Thank you.....
*The Techpriest walks back to Laura*

"So he dont like me!

"He's a major arsehole"
S: He still refuses to acknowledge that I out rank him

"huh"

"He usually stays away from the rest of us"

"good"

"Very"

OOC *whistles in a bored manner*

"..."

"Moving on!"


*They watch as Laura divides her followers into groups before they run back into the wreckage to retrieve something*

"whats going on there?"

"Lets find out"
*He leads her to Laura*
L: hello Alana and Serana

"hey"

L: how are you?

"good"

L: excellent, we will get going once my followers have recovered something of value to me"

"wassat? yer body?"

L: I have a spare...the original that was made for me.

*Robert looks away*

"...whats wrong"

"I sorta used it to build your second body......"

L: WHAT!?

"I took the internal components and transferred them into the new shell. Unless you can get the remains of your body you will not have one for quite some time"

L: YOU PIECE OF SHIT! YOU FUCKING LIED TO ME!

"No....I said your old body was no longer viable as I had used many components from it"

L: OH FOR FUCK SAKE!!

"Hey hey....look. Laura. I can get you a new body. A proper one. only reason i have not is i do not have the means to do so here"

L:.....A 'proper' body?

"Like your old one."

L:........Where do you need to go?

"wherever i can get parts."

L: Right....

"what?"

L: Nothing, I just need to get my followers out.

R: y'know what...now would be a fantastic moment to get my weapons back

"okay"

R: I shall return interfrastically!
*Rob runs off into the wreckage*

"....." *she waits. guess its just her, laura and serana now*

S: well then....What now?

L: I haven't got a clue
*Her followers slowly stream out of the wreckage and congregate around Laura*

"You know laura, i think i could uprgrade your current body also"

L: oh really?

"yeah. forgot to mention. possible upgrades for the knight that i recently discovered. carapace missiles or AA gun, claw/fist arm, gatling gun..."

L: Ohhh, can you make them back at the mountain?
