Oh... here we go again... (not lore): [E]: "[b]The darkness consumes the light... I hear their voices..[/b]." [S]: "The Crucible is a place to--FIGHT FOREVER GUARDIAN." [C]: "Eris Moron and Lord Shouts... Always wondered why the Speaker put these two so close together... I think I'm understanding why..." [Z]: "Get back to work Cayde, their rebuttals are none of your concern." [C]: "Yes sir... Back to work... Yup... Uh-Huh. (whisper) I gotta get outta this tower." [S]: "I would tear out a Vex heart with my teeth, I would sear the Cabal with my burning light, challenge the Kells to personal combat and scatter them. I'd... I've been watching too many Crucible matches." [E]: "[b]Not exactly... I have also once sensed a great urge to do such things... I began to understand what that hunger felt like after... Crota...[/b]" [S]: "Interesting... Maybe you'd be fit for a match in the Crucible. Your ruthless nature could potentially get you on a killstreak. Ooh yes... I love it..." [E]: "[b]I have since passed that longing for destruction. That is what drove my companions to their deaths. Now, we must focus our efforts to what remains of the Taken, and whatever else drives the darkness...[/b]" [S]: "I prefer to see the Guardians put to good use, rather than having them go out on wild goose chases. I see no better way than to put them against each other to find the best." [E]: "[b]Your past experiences have led you to that opinion. My past experiences have only one ending, and I must make sure that no one else suffers the same fate.[/b]" [S]: "That is one way of putting it. I just see it that our opinions are contrasted against each other. Is that a bad thing? Not at all. If everyone ran around as a Titan, there would be no competition." [E]: "[b]I sense another presence from the stairway... It is... of an Exo... [/b]" [S]: "Oh? And what brings you down here Banshee?" [B]: "Came down to see to a gun part you might have in stock. 'Heat sink' it's called." [S]: "Might I ask why the urgent need for such an uncommon piece?" [B]: "Got some plans to upgrade a certain gun. It would help." [S]: "Doesn't look promising here-- actually. I did see our Guardian dismantle some weapons earlier. He might have a similar part somewhere." [B]: "Any chance you've got his whereabouts?" [S]: "Unless he's capturing B-Zone, I have no idea. Go ask Cayde, he usually keeps a pin on him." [B]: "Thanks." [C]: "(sigh)... Ikora, get your books, off my map." [I]: "Are they restraining you from working?" [C]: "Lemme guess; 'Let them be because you don't work anyway Cayde' right?" [I]: "I guess you could suppose that." [B]: "Cayde, sorry for intruding but I have an urgent question." [C]: "Oh! A distraction! Yes of course Banshee, what can I do for you?" [B]: "Do you know where I can find your Guardian? He may have a spare gun part that is crucial for my next project." [Z]: "This should be good." [C]: "I actually have no clue. Huh. Thought he went to you for something if I'm being honest." [Z]: "Wait a minute. You don't know where our Guardian is?" [C]: "Nope. Not a clue. How bout you?" [Z]: "I find that hard to believe Cayde, especially after the stunt you pulled last time. And no, I'm not the one that sends our Guardian on missions without Vanguard approval." [C]: "Wow, here I thought we were going to forget everything that happened. How can I tell you're not lying either then?" [Z]: "Whether you trust me or not is a separate matter. I don't recall where our Guardian went, and I expected you at least to take note on where he went." [C]: "Well I haven't talked to him all day. Didn't even see him in fact." [I]: "Didn't I hear you and our Guardian talking about a 'dare' earlier today Cayde?" [C]: "SH-SHUSH. NO. Nothing like that happened at all." [Z]: "Cayde." [C]: "Y-Yeah? What's goin on Zavala? More Cabal advancements?" [Z]: "Just answer the goddamned question already." [C]: "Alright I may have challenged our Guardian to a dare-- but it's a running joke within the Hunters, he couldn't have taken it literally!" [Z]: "What dare." [C]: "Nightfall. No weapons, just your light's abilities. Ah come on, he's probably just out partying on Venus or something." [Z]: "You sent our Guardian on a suicide mission to the S.A.B.E.R. Strike with Arc Burn, Exposure and Trickle active... With NO WEAPONS?" [C]: "...Sounds like a Year 1 Nightfall, am I right? Haha... ha..." [Z]: "Cayde we need to talk. NOW. Ikora, you look after my reports while I'm gone." [B]: "I'll just see myself out. Nice knowing you Cayde." [C]: "Well, sorry I couldn't be much help Banshee. Guess I'm to go follow that blue head huh? Oh and Ikora, I moved your books. Looked more convenient than on my map to me..." [I]: "... They're on the floor aren't they... (sigh)... [S]: "...Show the new breed how it's done-- Oh Banshee, did you get the part you were after?" [B]: "Unfortunately, they did not know either." [S]: "Huh. I thought the Vanguard would have been the first to know." [B]: "It's alright. I can wait a week or two for the Armsday shipping. Maybe they will have the parts I need." [S]: "You've always been obsessed with your guns... Reminds me of myself back in the day. All I cared for was a good rolled Shadow Price. Oh how the Crucible has evolved since." [B]: "Guns are the only thing I remember. If I can fix 'em, I don't see why I shouldn't." [S]: "You don't ever wonder about your past?" [B]: "Heh. Trust me. You get used to it. Became odd at first that I could restore Vex tech and fix Rasputin's complex machinery, but hey. Who am I to ask." [S]: "Eh. I guess. Well I won't hold you up, see you around." [B]: "Yeah. Good chatting." 2 HOURS LATER [A]: "Woh, Cayde, you look beaten up!" [C]: "That's one way of complimenting Amanda, not sure if I'm that familiar." [A]: "You know what I mean. Rough day in the office?" [C]: "Eh, just an average Tuesday. Zavala got a bit heated I guess." [A]: "But when isn't he? He's lucky he's got a blue head otherwise it'd be red 24/7!" [C]: "Heheh... Guess your right." [A]: "You gotta start learnin' that I'm always right. Now buckle up in that saddle, I'm gonna let you test the calibration for this custom sparrow." [C]: "Huh. Fancy. It's... surprisingly mechanical looking... That's safe to sit on right?" [A]: "Why don't you sit on it and find out~" [C]: "I swear if I sit on this and--" [A]: "Oh don't be such a wuss" [C]: "O-oh. That was sudden. Wohh you actually got a massage machine on this thing? That's amazing!" [A]: "Oh that's not all she can do~" [C]: "Uhh-- it's speeding up. It's-- I CAN'T HOLD ON--!" [A]: "(laughing) It's got a bull setting as well! What do you think?" [C]: "I THINK IT'S BULLSHIT---NOW LET ME OFF!" [A]: "Hahha, alright alright." [C]: "Well... That was an experience." [A]: "I know right? Proud of her, she's the first of her kind. Looks like it took the breath out of you though!" [C]: "Yeah that's the best way to describe that." [A] "Thanks Cayde. I honestly don't know why you put such blind faith in me. You know I'm going to press your buttons! [C]: "Yeah, I know. I enjoy it though. A girl with spunk never hurt nobody. Glad to help out anyways." [A]: "Naww. I'm just glad to see you thrilled for once. [C]: "Heh... Yeah... Well, I appreciate your concern Amanda. Now what do you say we go test flight that ship your working on?" [A]: "Oh Cayde I'd love to but she ain't even complete yet!" [C]: "She don't need to be complete to fly." [A]: "Your not saying--" [C]: "Oh, I'm saying. If your too chicken I completely understand." [A]: "Don't you be startin' that up! Alright, dare accepted." [C]: "Worst case scenario we crash land in the Cosmodrome and we skip work for the day. Win-win situation see?" [A]: "You are just a bad example on me." [C]: "You know you love it. Lets get this bad boy on the tracks!" [A]: "She's a girl Cayde, c'mon now." [C]: "Oh. Sorry. Miss Bad Boy." [A]: "Oh shush up" END [spoiler]Due to the demand from the last one, I hope this is as good!
