The Tiger In The Shadows (Testrun)

[1]

[It's late at night at one of the Unity Group bases, and one can't help but imagine that everything would be nice and quiet as everyone tries to get in a good night's rest.

Yet as you pass by the hangar, whether you were up late, coming back from something, or perhaps just popped to the toilet, you can't help but notice... someone, standing there, looking up at the machines in silence.

He kinda looks like a highschool student.]

[Well, after giving the guards the slip for a while, the intruder was finally caught and tossed in a cell, though he got out of his handcuffs easy enough. Getting out entirely on the other hand was another matter, as his body spasming for five minutes on touching the bars made clear.

Now he's banging on them with a stick, looking around.]

Heeeeey, is this how you treat guests around here?!

[His voice echoes for a bit, ignored by the guards.]

[3]

[After getting a few things sorted out, Ken's now free to wander the base a bit - albeit not off it for the time being - and so takes the chance to find himself some space. Removing his jacket, he undoes what appears to be some kind of scroll that he slips out from a pocket, and briefly gives it a glance over. Then, putting the scroll away again, he takes up a stance, clasping his hands in front of him, his breathing beginning to slow...

And then his fists fly in a flurry of movement, broken up by the occasional kick into the air.

Comment on this behaviour, or...?]

[At least she didn't get thrown]

"Christ, man!" Dido says, recoiling a little. "What's with the attitude? Isn't it enough to want to greet a fellow Solarius buddy?"

Dido thinks back to the Solaris debrief reports she's read through.

Then she decides to do some lying.

"Yes." she says. "Why do you ask?"

"It depended." Dido says, trying to remember SolShinobi's performance specs.

"It was a high mobility unit that used speed as it's defense. In a wide-open environment, or when fighting in close ranks with other allies, it often took some hefty damage."

She shakes her head. "But it's strange: SolShinobi always seemed to bring home the bacon when the odds were most against it: when it was alone, isolated, and behind enemy lines. Whenever that happened, it was instant death to any Ebon Corsair in it's path. And then when Sol Kunoichi deployed..."

Her voice trails off.

"What? No!" Dido said, hastily backpedaling. "They, uh, got more awesome together. Really awesome! And...did lots of destroying together."
