[spoiler]This installment of Exotic History is made possible by Cyber_219 (Alphonze_Elric)[/spoiler] Banshee sat at his station as the moon rose high in the sky as he always did. Business was slow so he caught up on repair work and other necessities as Guardians slowly moved to and fro, returning or going to missions. He was working on an Omolon sniper rifle for a client and finished clicking the parts together. He checked and double checked for perfection before labeling it and placing it on the rack for pick up tomorrow. He flexed his hand to test his circuits for damage briefly before looking back at the other tasks that he had to achieve. As he started repairing a Suros pulse rifle, the box of weapon parts caught his attention. He waited several seconds before picking up a piece. He studied it's shape. Despite being unlike any part he knew and seemingly made of space debris, he could tell it was the inner lock mechanism from a sidearm clip. He set it gently on the table as he picked up the next strange piece. It was something akin to a cooling system that stores Void energy, commonly used in high burst rifles and machine guns to reduce heat drastically for better performance and durability of the guns barrel. After studying the piece further he placed it gently down and picked up the next piece. Piece by piece he pulled the strange parts out and made the basic shape of a sidearm, one slightly bigger than most due to the cooling system, the curious rifling, and vague healing regeneration kit. He studied the layout further as his mind created blueprints and basic schematics for the finished product. He paused and tapped his fingers over his mouth in thought. "Whacha doing Bansh?" Banshee blinked several times and looked up to see Cayde's peaked interest. "Got a new project for me?" "No." The old Exo rolled his shoulders slightly as he let the blueprints be saved and stored within his memory. "I've already finished the Ace of Spades." "Well what's wrong with making another thing for me to let my boys play with?" Cayde said as he picked up a piece and studied it. "Cause you tend use everything I give you to the breaking point." "Correction, your everything breaks because I stress test it beyond expectations." "And the Fabian Strategy?" "Ok you did some voodoo witchcraft on that so that I couldn't use it." Cayde pointed the piece at Banshee. "I know you would do something like that." "I didn't, it wasn't meant for you to use." "Then why did you give it to me?" "I didn't, you took it." "Well you didn't stop me from taking it either." He grinned and spun the piece in between his fingers before setting down on the table. Banshee picked it up and put it back in its place. "Regardless, it's not for you." "Can I play with it later?" "Possibly, when I get it done." "When will that be? Or is this another one of your multi-week fetch quests like with the Sleeper Stimulant?" Cayde gently pushed the piece slightly out of place. "Guardians seemed happy to do it." Banshee fixed the piece. "Because they were promised another Ghallyhorn." Cayde once again moved it. "I didn't promise that, that was a rumor because I wouldn't talk about it." He fixed it back into place. "So why didn't you talk about it?" Cayde said slyly as he once again moved the piece slightly. "For the same reason as I won't now." He fixed the piece and transmatted the pieces to his storage. "Because everyone interferes." "Killjoy..." Cayde said as he stretched. "Well I'll let you work then. I got paper work to do." "By that you mean relax and do nothing?" "Shh!!... The Hidden Hand will hear you..." Cayde looked around suspiciously. Banshee shook his head. "I doubt they would spy on you." "I don't know... Ikora seemed very well informed of my actions recently." "About time." Cayde made an annoyed face at Banshee then shrugged. "Whatever... oh and ah" He leaned in and whispered to Banshee. "There's a new card being made by the King of Clubs..." "No deal yet but I have some chips on the table." Cayde winked and slapped his shoulder. "Thanks Bansh." He strolled away and stretched, holding up two fingers, then four. Banshee sighed and raised his voice. "It told you my smuggling days are over Cayde." "I have no idea what you are talking about Bansh!!" Cayde said as he looked around and sped walked to the barracks. Banshee gave an amused laugh and transmatted the piece back infront of him. He began assembling them slowly and with craftsmanship. Thank you all for tuning in!
