in the halls of Alaric

"Neither do I, hence why my sword is only being held on by a thin piece of leather"

"May I inquire as to why we are here?"

"I'm afraid you misunderstood. put the weapons on the ground. now."

"Forgive my lack of trust but that's not happening"
*Both of his hands are now resting on the grips of his swords*

another, much bigger spotlight lights up
revealing this stood behind her, thermal cannon and heavy stubber raised

*shields his eyes from the searchlight*

"........ah, very persuasive"

she smiles at that

*I place both of my swords on the ground*

the others do likewise as the knight lowers his weapons
"sorry but as i said its just for safety. I am sorry about all this."

"So what's going on?"

"you got shot down. I am sorry about that, but you were not responding and this planet has been a target for the inquisition before. the defenders can get jumpy"

"Our communications systems had been damaged, even the distress beacon was non-functional"

"I know that. those who shot you down, didnt"

"Can't fault them for it, still why are we here?"

"We saved you from the wreckage and brought you here to see if you needed medical attention"

"...thank you"

"you're welcome. although you may have noticed one of your group is not with you. your AI."

"Where is she?"

"She's alive, but she used her body to protect all of you in the crash. it was damaged beyond repair"

"....I'm rather happy I know how to build her a new body. Tell me, what of her survived?"

"essentially everything except the body."

"Hmm, fairly easy to repair"

"I disagree. there is almost nothing left of the body"

"Oh...what have you done with the rest of her?"

"We kept it. We do have a way to...give her a new body"

"What do you mean?"

"have you heard of a throne mechanicum?"

OOC: heh

IC: "No"
S: Is it the chair for the big boss robo-person chap thing of the mechanicus

"close. it is where a person interfaces with a knight. imprints their very mind upon it"

"Oh goody.......you transferred her into a knight didnt you?"

S: a what?
R: A knight, see the massive robot behind her
S: yeah
R: one of those
S: COOL!!
R: very, admittedly you won't be able to crush me under your collective weight as she'll be a giant bloody robot

"We have not done so yet. but we are saying we can do that."

"Why would you do that? You don't even know me"

"I beg your pardon?"

"We have not met before"

"Its a knight thing. honor, loyalty, chivalry and all that."

*he sighs*
"What harm could it do, go for it!"

"However. in order to fully utilize her new body she will need a Pilot"

"She'd find a way to bypass that, but I assume you'll say it has to be me because she's bound to me"

"yes. This will only effect her combat effectiveness. she can still control the body herself"

"Okay, what about her personality?"

"It will be the same. Though she will have access to the memories of all previous imprints. And the pilot will need to imprint upon it"

"Oh goody"

*she explains*

"..........so it's only marginally life threatening"

Ooc. Hey gorath, i just remembered the other day: whatever happened to Narauq and co? Last thing i remember, you had a knight show up somehow

We all kinda forgot about em....
IC "1 in 50 chance"

"Better than a warp jump, soooooo where do we go?"

Right.... Nothing unusual then...

"Follow me please'

Ooc yeeeeep

*hands Serana both scabbards and the swords before following*

she leads him to a great chamber
