Laurian whizzed through a fissure in the mountainous iceberg, hoping to find the proper ice sample Kaize asked him for. Laurian didn't care what his guardian needed it for, it was the first time he'd said anything in months. After Kaize went to the deep stone crypt to start his reset it was interrupted by an unidentified presence, however during this time, a group of guardians came through and finished his boot process. A fallen and somehow exo named Atraks had paused all exo resets in progress to further his own twisted formation. Laurian was lucky to find his body after the installation came falling down. The only words his guardian had for the ghost upon his resurrection worried him. "Kaize! It's been months, are you alright!? Can you walk? We need to get out of here!" "I can walk all I want sparky, there isn't any chance I'm walking out of this" Since that day, Kaize hasn't said a word to laurian, his ship was junked by the impact so he scoured the icy plains, until he came across some fallen scavengers and 'commandeered' their ketch. Laurian found a bright red clump of ice that matched his guardians description. He gathered what was there and transmitted it outside of the crack where his guardian was waiting. "Is this what you needed?" The ghost asked as he slipped his way from the monolithic surface. "No, it's not, thought I could get some of those darkness powers I'd overheard the fallen screeching about on the comms of the ketch. But they must have meant other ice.. Shame." His demeanor shifted almost instantly. He cracked the best grin his metal face could allow and exclaimed " I need a drink, let's hope commander z diddy didn't throw out w--- drifter." "You've been stoic for months...over trying to use darkness. You know what kaize?" "What buddy?" His ghost moving his shell in a menacing way "Delete yourself!"
