♤ Lightborne 15 - Total Reboot

Icarus reboots Proxy to his standard operating system before the download. "Proxy, this is Failsafe. You two will be working together when I need you." Proxy stands very robotically. "Of course, sir." He walks over to Failsafe, who is hesitant to his approach. "Hello! I am Proxy! I am a fully overhauled frame designed to assist my master in day to day tasks, including complex algorithms, common maintenance, and the occasional decimation of alien hordes. And you are Failsafe. What do you do?" He extends a stiff hand toward her. Failsafe cautiously reaches for his hand. "I am Failsafe! AI of the Exodus Black." She hesitates and flickers red. "I.. I don't really have a purpose?" She flashes back to yellow and turns to Icarus. "What is my new purpose?" Icarus calmly assures her, "You have a greater database than most of the Golden Age archives I've ever come across! Not to mention countless files thought to be lost or restricted by common readers. I'm going to need your help throughout my journeys in order to save the galaxy... Again." He rolls his eyes sarcastically. Failsafe grins slightly. Her light goes red and she stands up straight. "I'm a super intelligent super computer." Indigo laughs under her breath. "Don't forget super cool, too! Look at you! Everything about you shouldn't even exist!" Failsafe relaxes and stays in her red color. "Super cool." Icarus grabs a few scraps and tools and places them in the box that held the head. He carries it back to his ship. Kairos keeps squinting at the tiny imperfections of both frames. He anxiously taps his foot. Indigo hops down from the crate and approaches Failsafe. "You're making history here today! Come on, I'll show you around the ship. You'll probably be on board a lot." She takes her hand and guides her across the hanger. Kairos calls over the comms to Icarus, "Hey, I forgot to check in with Ikora, I'll be right back." Before getting an answer, he takes off. Right before leaving, he stops suddenly. He tenses slightly and turns around to shout to Amanda. "Hey, uh.. Holiday? I uh.. I might need a new ship! Sorry!" He takes off running. Holiday stands up instantly, "What did you do to my ship!? Kairos!! God damnit kid..." After a while, everyone gets situated and meets back in the Bazaar. Proxy and Failsafe head to the computer bay between the hanger and the central tower. Proxy gives a mini tour of the area and shows her the back room where Bamshee hides all his stuff. Kairos discusses his journey with Ikora, while Icarus and Indigo head down to see Ada-1. Icarus walks with purpose with the box and keys outstretched. "Ada. I'm growing tired of this never ending quest for your damn box. What now?" He places the box with all four keys I'll inserted on the table in front of her. Ada just stares at it. "If you don't want it, I'm sure I could find another brainless Guardian to finish it for me." She analyzes it and searches through a book for more information. Icarus begins to lose his patience. "Listen, I've been running around for six months trying to decode this damned puzzle for you while you-" he cuts himself off. "...I have other things to do, and with Failsafe on my side I'm closer than ever to getting the answers I need. If this takes too much longer, I'll have no choice. Understand?" He relaxes a bit before apologizing. "I'm sorry. I don't mean to be so brash. I'm just-" Kairos rushes in without hesitation. "Guys! Ikora just found something we really need to take a look at! I'm talking crisis situation here!" His panting and wide eyes scream emergency. Indigo calmly walks over to him and places a hand on his shoulder. "Relax, relax! Tell us what's going on." She smiles gently to help ease his panic. "It's the Hive! They have some sort of ritual that seems to be calling out from the depths of Titan. They've already lost contact to three other fireteams and-" Icarus tunes out. He starts seeing flashbacks of the long lost Titan from his last fireteam. The Knight that stole his ghost and knocked him into the roaring tides below. Kairos, who is now next to Icarus, begins snapping his fingers. "Hey! You good there? I figured out of everyone here that you'd be the last guy to freeze up like this." Icarus slaps Kairos' hand away from him. "I don't freeze up. I was just... thinking." He stares at the floor for a second. "Ada," he begins. Ada raises her hand, "I understand. But perhaps you can still help me here. Take this with you." She reaches under the table and pulls out a brand new sleek bow and arrow and presents it to him. "I haven't had anyone test this weapon yet. Figured you would like to-" Indigo swoops in and grabs the bow with wide eyes. "It's beautiful!" She immediately tests the drawstring and judges the weight of it in both hands. She completely tunes everyone else out while she does all kinds of other tests on her own. Icarus stands up straight and shakes his head quickly. He grabs the box and keys and takes off for the hanger. "Proxy, start my ship for take off and prepare my aggresive loadout. Failsafe, run history check on the Hive on Titan and give me the most up to date layout of all the underground tunnels. Kairos, inform Ikora Ikora we'll take care of it. Indigo-" Indigo puts her bow on her back and takes off running, "Already on it." Icarus starts walking away from Ada slowly. As he walks, his armor and weapons begin to transmat into a heavy and agile set of armor covered in leather and straps. A MIDA Multi-Tool and a MIDA Mini-Tool phase into his hands as he stows them and pulls up his hood.
